Welcome to maxi-scooters. I had a Burgman 400, it was a good scooter. I wouldn't say it would cruise at 80. At 80, it was REALLY breathing hard and fuel economy goes way down. Cruising at 65-70 is more like it. I went to a Honda Silverwing after that, and it would cruise at 80.

The Burgman was lighter and with a lower center of gravity than the Silverwing though.

Now that I'm back to a 150, (I went the other way) I like the nimbleness of it, compared to the maxi-scooters.

When my kids are grown, I'll probably supplement the PCX 150 with a liter class sport-touring bike again for those longer rides. Nothing beats a motorcycle on the higher speed rides and over potholes. I miss my FJR1300 sometimes.
