AN series
Launched in 1999, the original model line-up consisted of the AN250 and AN400 models. In 2002 the AN250 was dropped, replaced by the European-legislation compliant for learner-license purposes UH125. However, the AN250 continued to be released in other countries. The UH prefix was used on this model due to a current model of non Burgman heritage still being produced. This is the AN125 and bears no resemblance nor lineage with the Burgman series.
AN2 series
In 2003, the fuel injected AN2 series was launched in UH125, AN400 and AN650 variants. With a redesigned fairing package allowing for better lighting, more storage capacity and 1litre more fuel capacity, there was also the option for ABS on the AN400 and AN650 models.
In 2004, Suzuki launched an up-market AN650 Executive, which involved a full ABS and accessories package.
