I dropped in to a dealership on the weekend and they had the Burgman 650 and 400, Majesty and Silverwing all lined up side by side on the floor (all '05's). What a great opportunity to see how they stack up to each other.
My first impression: The digital dash of the 650 really is lacking. That is probably the weakest part of all the scooters combined (in my eyes).
Second impression: The Silverwing and Majesty feel very similar to me and both have gorgeous analogue instruments.
Third impression: The Burgman 400 feels too low - even for my shortish legs.
Fourth impression: The Burgman 650, although not physically that much bigger than the rest, just feels too ponderous to me.
The Majesty and Silverwing will have to go through some battles before one is declared the clear winner. That's to say nothing of the fact that I'm still considering some sort of a 'real' motorcycle as well. I won't be deciding anything till after the January motorcycle shows.
