AA uses Suzuki Burgmans to cut response time

The AA has just put a fleet of 16 Suzuki Burgman scooters on the roads of London, Birmingham, and Manchester as part of its rapid breakdown response fleet.

Pan Europeans...

Heavy, unnecessary, cumbersome, thirsty; Can't carry as much as the Burgers. Burgers are lower, lighter, CHEAPER, more economical and frankly a darn sight more comfortable for on/off hopping because of the low seat height and step-thru design. And anyone who thinks that little factor isn't important should try being a patrolman or instructor, where climbing on and off a hundred times a day can ruin your groin! Rode a 400 Burger for two years as an instructor bike - almost the perfect tool for the job, so I can't see it will be any less than bang-on for this role too. Why is it it takes the AA to show the roadgoing community what we already know - that the only way to beat traffic congestion is by bike..?

Great...

Fantastic idea... Not sure that they will be any use for 'towing' a car home though... Hee hee. I believe that these would be of use for getting to women and other vulnerable road users quickly. Those little scooters go like stink!!! Well done the AA for showing the way.
