(Pleasantly) surprised to see this full page Burgman ad in the June, 2014, issue of Popular Mechanics. Surprised that they're advertising at all, and that it's in a mainstream (i.e., not two wheelin') magazine.  |

My first though is that they still see the scooter market as predominantly a city commuter market. Now that they have a smaller scooter to better compete in that market they are advertising it where it is more likely to be noticed by those that buy for that market. Those people for the most part do not read the "two wheelin' magazines".

Many bikers I've talked to can't seem to get their minds around what a "maxi-scooter" is and is capable of. ________ Dick |
