I stopped by the local Suzuki dealer and checked out the Burgman 200 and 400. I sat on them both. They felt very comfy. Nice seats and very easy to flat foot for me. I really like the 400.
I haven't seen a Forza in person yet. A maxi scooter may be in my future.

The motor in the 200 is a gem, ridden a Forza for comparison. The Forza was milder in reaction very linear powerband, the 200 motor is like a 600cc sportbike motor, nothing till you hit the middle of the tach and it goes very quick to me. The rest the Burgman 200 is just everything middle of the road to me. Just that motor rocks.

I owned the Forza for a year and have ridden all three Suzuki's. At interstate speeds the Forza still out runs the Suzuki 200 easily. The 400 is the way to go IMO or the 650. I have seen some great deals on new but previous years 400s and 650s. Maybe 60% of MSRP. Go to a giant dealer for the best deals. The small ones can't dump older bikes like that high volume ones can. I have purchased two bikes now from a huge dealer and picked up new but previous years models at a song.
