- Powered by a 400cc, liquid-cooled motor
- Makes 28.5bhp and 35Nm
- India launch isn’t confirmed yet
Suzuki has showcased the Burgman 400 in the country at the Suzuki Matsuri festival in Mumbai. While the company has not officially confirmed its launch plans, the move suggests that Suzuki is evaluating customer feedback on the maxi-scooter.
Globally, the Suzuki Burgman 400 is positioned as a premium maxi-style touring scooter and sits well above the entry-level scooter lineup. That is evident from its large, flowing design, wide seat, and tall windscreen, making it comfortable and practical for daily commutes as well as long-distance touring.
Powering the Burgman 400 is a 400cc, liquid-cooled, single-cylinder engine paired with a CVT gearbox. The motor produces around 28.5bhp and 35Nm of peak torque. In terms of features, the scooter is equipped with LED lighting, a semi-digital instrument console, traction control, and dual-channel ABS. It also offers a large under-seat storage of 42-litre, along with additional front storage spaces.
Globally, the Burgman 400 is known for its performance, comfortable ergonomics, and touring capabilities. Although there is no confirmation on its India launch, the Burgman 400 could carve a niche for itself in the country.
With the Indian two-wheeler market opening up to premium and lifestyle-oriented two-wheelers, the Burgman 400 could open up a new segment in India. However, Suzuki will need to manufacture it locally and price it competitively for it to succeed in a value-conscious market like India.
