Positioned as a practical commuter scooter, it looks like it's answering real local demand for everyday transport.
165,000 pesos - roughly how much would that be converted to Japanese yen?
Depends on the exchange rate, but my gut says it's an affordable price in the tens of thousands of yen range.
Burgman's always felt like a big scooter name to me domestically, so this displacement feels fresh.
Rolling out the Burgman name at this displacement shows real commitment to breaking into Southeast Asia's scooter market.
165,000 pesos feels like it's within reach for the local commuter crowd given the cost of living there.
