Suzuki Burgman 400 Gains Updates for 2025
Three new paint schemes to choose from but no major updates for 2025 Suzuki Burgman
Suzuki has given its long-running Burgman 400 maxi-scooter a fresh splash of colour for 2025, introducing three new paint schemes that lean into its signature blend of practicality and urban style.
Leading the updates is a new pearl matt shadow green finish, which pairs a muted, sophisticated tone with gold wheels and black trim for a premium look. That same gold wheel treatment also appears on a stealthy all-black version, and a third option, a more vivid metallic reflective blue, rounds out the trio.
While these changes are purely cosmetic, they help maintain the Burgman’s appeal in a fiercely competitive scooter segment. First launched in 1998, the Burgman 400 has carved out a loyal following thanks to its combination of comfort, economy, and grown-up road manners.
Under the skin, though, there are no changes to speak of. The 400cc single-cylinder engine remains, delivering usable power and economy, with Suzuki claiming over 70mpg in real-world use. It’s not going to set your pulse racing, but as Visordown's review of the Suzuki Burgman notes, “you don't buy a Burgman to chase lap times.” What you get instead is a genuinely refined and easygoing commuter, well-suited to filtering through traffic or cruising along A-roads in comfort.
Practicality remains a Burgman hallmark. With 42 litres of under-seat storage (enough to swallow a full-face lid and more) and a further 6.3 litres across two front compartments, it ticks the utility box with ease. Traction control also comes as standard—a nice touch for year-round riders who’ll appreciate the added stability on slippery tarmac.
At £7,199 OTR, the Burgman isn’t exactly cheap, but it doesn’t pretend to be, and when compared to the more sporty (and much pricier) TMax, it does start to look better value. As Alan Dowds put it in his review: “it feels a cut above your average scoot in quality, performance and presence.” With these new colours adding a dose of showroom sparkle, Suzuki is keeping the Burgman 400 feeling fresh in a class it helped to define.
