... Hi James I tried an X9 500 demo bike recently and preferred it to the 400 Burgers I have ridden - but it suffers the same problems (for lanky buggers like...
Greetings to you all. My first time to raise my nose above the parapet! I live in Celbridge in Co Kildare (about 14 miles from Dublin). Bought a Burger 400...

Hey Peter! Glad to meet you! That Burger of yours wouldn't happen to be black, would it? Back in early July I was in Naas, and a very smart Burgman 400...

Hi Andrew!! Not sure about quality or effectiveness, but most people tend to use the Malossi variator. That's probably because it's been around longer. If you...
Hi Malossi parts are generally excellent quality parts of a higher spec than standard whereas Polini (both Italian) are more race part orientated. In my...
