Hi, Alley Oop. I see from another forum that you now have a Burgman Exec. 650 with a voyager kit for highway use. What do you think of it and how does it ride? I am jealous because that is one of the scoots that I would love to have. You mention that you are keeping the Ice Bear for in town riding. Makes goos sense to me. (See, I can make a post without doubling it!!! Sometimes 8^( )

He still has his IceBear trike, JR. A lot of us have a mix, I have 2 Chinese, 2 Taiwanese, and 1 Slovanian. Did have a Partridge in a Pear Tree but ate it at Christmass. I will catch another one tho. My other big 'wish I could afford it" scoot would be a Piaggio MP3 500. (I can do a single post but I cant spell 'good' What can I say? I am old!!!)

Hi Troops, Yes it is a 2008 650 Burgman Executive with 3600 miles on it. The guy lives 70miles south of me in a little town call Marsallies near the bigger Boat Town Ottawa. He is very ill and cannot ride and needed the money. It is black and just the Voyager Kit alone was $6,300.00 it has the lights on the kit with 13" wheels on Chrome Rims. He wanted $9000.00 for it, I afford $8,500.00 Cash and I would come and pick it up and he said ok. So here I have a machine that cost this guy $15,500.00, he had the Service Manul, User Manual , two Oil Filters and a cover under the seat. I will not touch the sucker to complicated for me, I found a place 10 miles from me that all they do is work on Bikes they have three mechanics. There main business is working on Hondas and Suzukis reasonable $65.00 dollar hourly rate. They also store bikes for you over the winter. I took it there to have the oil changed and check it all out and put a some Kind of Mount for my Cane:) I should be picking it up in the next few days, I will take pictures of it and also with my Ice Bear Trike next to it:) It is amazing, you push a button the Windshield raises up, push another button the Mirrors Fold so you don't break them parking, on the seat the backrest you can adjust, you can also shift it manually with buttons on the left hanglebar or leave it in auto. I drove it back from the little town and was cruising at 60 mph, rpms were little over 4, It really has a lot of power. I already ordered a GIVI 30" Windshield for it, coming back even though I had the Windshielf all the way up the wind was still hitting half of my face. I will have to find someone with a single car and try to rent the other half to park it. If not I will have to store it at the Mechanics Shop. My Ice Bear fits really nice in front of wifes car but the Burgman the Trike Kit is 56" wide. Alleyoop

As Daffy Duck would say, "you are deshpicable!". Boy am I jealous or what? Seriously, that was a great buy and it opens your riding perimeters considerably. And you still have the IB trike for intown riding. RNR Trikes up the road in Jasper has a 2005 Honda Reflex 250 wirh 2823 miles and a TowPac conversion but they want $7999.00 for it and it is a much smaller bike than yours. I can get good low milage 2 or 3 year old Piaggio MP3 500s in about the same price range. One local guy had a 2010 model with 2500 miles on it and it was 2 months old. Lists in our area tax and all for about $10500.00 He started at $7100.00 and kept dropping the price til someone bought it for $6500.00 last week. I am going to play with the TGB til next spring and see what I have in the old savings account. Might sell a couple of mine then too. So, good on you, Oop and congrats.Also I thought that you did a good job of communication with others on that forum.
