Okay, so I’ve been meaning to share my little adventure with figuring out the dimensions of my 2008 Suzuki Burgman. It wasn’t exactly a walk in the park, but hey, what’s life without a little challenge, right?
First off, I got this scooter because, let’s face it, it’s comfy. I mean, the seat is like a throne, and there’s so much legroom, you could practically stretch out and take a nap. But I needed to know the exact specs, especially since I was planning some modifications and needed to make sure everything would fit perfectly.
I started by hitting up the internet, just typing in “2008 Suzuki Burgman dimensions” into the search bar. Easy peasy, or so I thought. I found some stuff, like the Burgman 125 is super fuel-efficient, getting about 58.5 kmpl according to some official-sounding source called ARAI. And it’s got a 5.5-liter fuel tank. That’s cool and all, but I have the 400, so I kept digging.
Then I stumbled upon some details about the Burgman 400. Apparently, it weighs around 199 kg, or 438.7 pounds for those who think in pounds. That’s a bit hefty, but it’s a big scooter, so I wasn’t surprised. The seat height is about 710 mm, or 28 inches, and it’s adjustable, which is a nice touch.
But I needed more. I wanted all the nitty-gritty details. So, I went deeper. I found this website that had a whole page dedicated to the 2008 Burgman 400, complete with pictures and specs. It mentioned the scooter was introduced way back when and was a carryover model for 2008. It also came with a 12-month limited warranty.
I also found a forum. You know, one of those places where enthusiasts gather to talk about their rides. I figured these folks would know their stuff, so I joined the discussion, asking about performance, modifications, and of course, the dimensions I was after.
My Measurements
After all that searching and asking around, I decided it was time to get my hands dirty. I grabbed my trusty measuring tape and headed out to the garage. I measured everything I could think of, from the overall length to the width and height. I even measured the ground clearance, which, if you’re curious, is about 4.9 inches.
- Weight: Around 438 lbs, give or take.
- Seat Height: About 28 inches, but it can be adjusted.
- Ground Clearance: Roughly 4.9 inches.
So there you have it, my little journey to uncover the dimensions of my 2008 Suzuki Burgman 400. It wasn’t just about the numbers, though. It was about getting to know my ride a little better, understanding its capabilities, and maybe even dreaming up some cool mods to make it even more awesome.
