Did the 2013 rally and had a great time. Had to cancel out of this one coming up because of health issues at home. Tiring run but fun just the same,keeps you riding to stay within your time limit frame.

Do not forget Kymco makes for both BMW and Kawasaki.

Fast idle and not coming off choke is just the enricher gone bad. Replace. This was a recall on BW in Canada. There is a thread on it in the Bet And Win section.

You will have more leg room on the Burg 400. Mine is used mostly with a pillion rider. As a matter of fact I am off to NY/PA for a little R&R with it tomorrow.

GV250 is same drive line setup as a BW250 and weight. Very good transmission of the 250's power. I would still favour the 400 over the BV though. Have riden a BV 500.
Now as to the CBR etc. A motorcycle is a different beast and will balance diffferently then a sit upon scooter. I ride MC's also as I have a Kawasaki ZZR, and a pair of Honda's one being a new CB 500 and a CBR 125R. All different in your position but once rolling are very well balanced and responsive. It is all about getting used to the different bike feel.
Cheers...... get a Burgman 400 and enjoy!

What vibration, none with mine. Maybe you had a unbalanced wheel situation. I still have the original 07 three shoe clutch in place, no issues also. Its the pussy slow riders that seem to burn out clutches. Most of my riding on the Burg is two up, yes lock her up fast and the back the throttle off. Easy peasy.... use original rollers also.  I also have a 250 B&W, great scoot but until I did the recall on the bi-starter it was just a pain in the a$$ on start up with the over reving, also had that one since new in 05.

You won't regret getting on a Burgman 400. I have both a 250 B&W and the Burg 400. Love them both....

Lower the air pressure to stock set up. Try ride again. Are they even balanced? Try Dynabeads. Avon is a good tire, better than what Kymco installed at build.
