All the Duels - Face to face Honda 600 Silverwing - Suzuki Burgman 650: maximum pleasure among maxiscooters? - Did you say statutory?

In the shadow of the 500 Tmax, the Suzuki Burgman 650 and the Honda 600 Silver Wing are attracting more and more bikers, including – above all? – in winter. What are the reasons for this success ? Comparative test of two competitors with very different qualities.

You said statutory ?

No offense to "diehard" bikers, the maxiscooters market continues to encroach on that of traditional motorcycles … Proof that they are in the air (cold at the moment!) And respond to real expectations. Second best-selling machine over 125 cm3 in 2008, the Yamaha 500 Tmax has since 2001 become a super star thanks to its versatility and sportiness, despite a fairly modest displacement..

In 2002, Honda and Suzuki responded by unveiling in turn even more powerful maxiscooters, cubing respectively 600 and 650 cm3. But where the Tmax found immediate success thanks to its attractive looks and undeniable dynamic qualities, the Silverwing and Burgman took a little longer to find their audience..

It is clear that our two maxiscooters, parked next to each other, are impressive! Long and wide, they hold the attention with their sofas as rider and passenger saddles. We are now very far from the original scooter, the good old Vespa with its little round headlight, its flat floor and its tiny wheels! Everything has increased: the size of the rims, performance, protection … but also the weight, around 250 kg in running order for the 600 Honda and more than 270 for the 650 Suzuki !

With their very sober colors (black for the Silverwing and medium gray for the Burgman), our two machines almost look like official vehicles! The Honda comes in silver gray and medium gray, while the Suzuki is also available in black and white. With their sober and discreet lines, they certainly promise more seriousness and efficiency than sport and fun … So, maximum pleasure in maxiscooters? Must see … Try !
