The 650 Burgman's are pretty large machines, but you'd be surprised how efficient and fast they are. The executive model has paddle shifters so you can row the gears I believe.
I was on my ST 1300 on I 64 down in Kentucky and spotted a single headlight approaching me from behind at a fast clip. All of a sudden a 650 Burgman with saddlebags and a trunk blew past me. I caught up with him and followed him for about 15 miles at um above the speed limit, and approaching an exit the rider waved me over. We pulled over in a gas station and he offered to buy me a soft drink which I turned down. We chatted for awhile. He was an older guy from Colorado that had ridden the Burgman to the east coast and was on his way home. After a bit we wished each other safe travels and parted ways. I took a pic of him during our break, and emailed it to him. When he got home he emailed back saying thanks for the pic and the conversation, and commenting on the great trip he had. Nice guy.
