The Suzuki Burgman 400 has always stood out in the maxi-scooter world for its blend of power, comfort, and premium features. Now, for 2025, Suzuki has added a splash of freshness with new colour schemes that give this urban cruiser a bold new appeal. While the mechanicals remain largely the same, these cosmetic updates add extra flair for riders who want their scooter to look just as sharp as it performs.
The Burgman 400 is already popular in several markets thanks to its well-balanced proportions and real-world practicality. With the addition of these stylish new colours, Suzuki is aiming to keep the scooter relevant in a fast-evolving segment while staying true to its touring-friendly DNA.
New Colour Options for 2025
The 2025 Suzuki Burgman 400 is now available in a trio of brand-new shades. These are designed to give the scooter a more upscale and dynamic appearance. The colours include:
- Metallic Matte Sword Silver
- Metallic Matte Black No.2
- Metallic Triton Blue
These options replace some older shades while keeping the classic Burgman feel intact. Each colour comes with contrasting decals or subtle highlights, helping the scooter pop in different lighting conditions. The new finishes are aimed at younger buyers and city commuters who want something more expressive without going over the top.
The Triton Blue shade in particular has caught attention for reflecting Suzuki’s racing legacy. It gives the scooter a sportier look, which is unusual and welcome for a maxi-scooter of this size.
No Changes to Body Design or Features
The bodywork of the Suzuki Burgman 400 remains unchanged. It continues to carry the long, aerodynamic silhouette that makes it perfect for highway cruising and urban commuting. The wide front apron, large windscreen, and sharp tail give it an unmistakable maxi-scooter look.
The seating layout is still among the best in class. Riders get a broad, supportive seat with lumbar support, and the pillion section is equally roomy. The floorboard design allows for both feet-forward and knees-up riding postures, adding to the overall comfort.
Lighting is fully LED, with a twin-headlamp setup at the front and a sleek, integrated tail-lamp unit at the back. Turn signals remain bulb-type in some markets but may switch to LED in regions with higher-spec requirements.
Engine and Performance Remain Solid
The 2025 update brings no changes to the engine. The Suzuki Burgman 400 continues to use its trusted 400cc, single-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine. This motor is BS6/Euro 5 compliant and tuned for smooth, refined power delivery ideal for city and highway use alike.
Here’s a quick spec overview:
| Specification | Suzuki Burgman 400 |
|---|---|
| Engine | 400cc, liquid-cooled, single-cylinder |
| Max Power | 29.2 hp @ 6300 rpm |
| Max Torque | 35.2 Nm @ 4900 rpm |
| Transmission | CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission) |
| Fuel Capacity | 13.5 litres |
Power is more than sufficient for high-speed cruising, while the CVT makes it incredibly easy to ride in traffic. Throttle response is gentle yet strong, and there’s enough mid-range torque for overtaking without downshifts.
Suspension and Ride Quality
The ride quality continues to be one of the Burgman 400’s strongest features. The scooter uses telescopic front forks and a link-type mono-shock at the rear. This setup absorbs potholes and speed bumps well, delivering a plush ride without feeling floaty.
The scooter’s large 15-inch front and 13-inch rear wheels provide added stability. Paired with wide tyres and a long wheelbase, it feels planted at high speeds and during cornering.
Even on long rides, the suspension manages to stay comfortable. It strikes the right balance between stiffness and softness, which is hard to find in this category.
Braking and Safety Features
Safety has always been a priority in the Burgman series. The 2025 Suzuki Burgman 400 retains dual-channel ABS and traction control. These features are particularly helpful in slippery conditions or during emergency braking.
Braking specs include:
- Front: 260 mm disc
- Rear: 210 mm disc
- Dual-channel ABS as standard
- Switchable traction control
With a kerb weight of around 218 kg, the braking system feels well-calibrated. There’s no sudden bite, just progressive and predictable stopping power.
Practical Storage and Everyday Use
One of the most loved features of the Suzuki Burgman 400 is its storage space. Under the seat, riders get around 42 litres of storage — enough for a full-face helmet and some groceries or a backpack. There are also twin front glove boxes, one of which has a 12V charging socket.
Daily commuters and tourers alike will appreciate:
- Keyless ignition
- Handbrake for parking
- Large windscreen for wind deflection
- Comfortable upright seating
- Optional top box and side panniers for long-distance travel
All these make the Burgman 400 a genuinely usable scooter, not just something to show off in front of a café.
Global Market Relevance and Positioning
The Burgman 400 is positioned as a mid-size luxury scooter globally. It sits above smaller city scooters like the Burgman Street 125 and competes with models like the Yamaha XMAX 300, BMW C 400 GT, and Kymco X-Town.
Here’s how it stacks up:
| Scooter | Engine | Power | Price (Approx.) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Suzuki Burgman 400 | 400cc | 29.2 hp | ₹6.70–₹7.20 lakh (international) |
| Yamaha XMAX 300 | 292cc | 27.6 hp | ₹6.50 lakh |
| BMW C 400 GT | 350cc | 34 hp | ₹10.25 lakh |
| Kymco X-Town 300i | 276cc | 24.5 hp | ₹4.80 lakh |
While it’s unlikely to launch in India anytime soon due to pricing and demand gaps, it continues to be a strong performer in Europe, Japan, and select Southeast Asian countries.
