I've been waffling for too long and have pent up lust to get something with more beans. Too bad this board isn't more active. I just looked at the Suzuki Burgman 400S today and while it looks good and has way more power than my current 2002 Bajaj Legend I left feeling that it just appeared too bulky; too mega in the back end. In NYC all space seems at a premium, especially for parking and commuting. So, does anyone have any inkling about changes for the BR that may be announced at the Sept. Honda Dealers Meeting. The current color's fine but I am interested in any technical changes, like adjustable back shock, larger diameter front suspension, etc. Has Anyone Heard Anything???

 Sorry not much info in the big ruckus, some people think new colors might be available but there has been rumors of Honda dropping the big and small ruckus, so we are waiting for any news

A couple of thoughts on the BR. I've now been riding it for 8 months and 4000miles. If Honda gives up on the Ruckus line it'll be a mistake but it won't be the first they've made. To the best of my knowledge they have spent not one red cent in promotion of the product line so they shouldn't complain about poor sales. After 8mos the most common question is what is it? I've heard the statement, "I didn't know Honda Made anything like that." so many times it's become predictable. If they cease production and you haven't purchased one you'll miss owning one of the greatest rides and conversation starters I've known.
We can all carp on the changes we'd like to see on future models but it's a fine ride as delivered today.
Don't go for one of those Tupperware covered rides that are just covers for lack of real out of the box thinking.
The 250cc engine will get you anywhere you'd like to go with a smile on your face and fuel left in your tank.
Write Honda and ask them why they treat the Ruckus product line as some unworthy stepchild.

With my journalists quest rising to fever pitch in my persuit of things, BR, I had a very nice conversation just moments ago with a motorcycle customer rep at Honda's corp. hq about the future of the BR. While I didn't expect anything too revealing, she related that the Big Ruckus has met expectations for them in it's first year and Honda is pleased. I asked specifically about the dealer's meeting and when details about '06 might be divuldged, and further if she were in my place, would she buy now or wait. She seemed confident in saying that waiting till the eve. of Sept 8th would be a safe bet and that's what she'd do. I gathered that the BR is going forward.

Since the Honda Sales Meeting on 9.8 has anyone heard of anything new re the BR for '06?? I see on Honda's web site that the color has changed but the specs look almost identical....I'm thinking may as well get an '05 at season end price??? dc
