Had mine 18 months now, I still think it’s the bees knees ❤ I just had one rather scary reminder that it’s not a motorcycle when riding with my brother in law who now owns my last motorbike in the Derbyshire Peak District I went in too hot on a tightening rising right hand bend, I ended up right over the wrong side of the road, praise the Lord nothing was coming. On a bike having the tank between my legs and a slightly forward position with tip toes on the pegs I can if needed tighten my line, not so on this though. Of course it was my fault, the Burgman corners lovely but it requires more effort on the edge. I’ve slowed down now and just love it
In my opinion the Burgman 650 AN Executive was the best of the maxi scooters while it was in production. It is no longer sold in Australia where I live. The CVT works well and the manual option is good for the highway giving an extra gear improving fuel economy. Plenty of on board storage both under the seat and in the glove boxes is augmented by adding a top box. I really like the fold in mirrors and the adjustable screen. Mine is extra wide and high so I'm well protected form the wind but I can get some extra air flow at low speed with the touch of a button. It is great around town but is even better on the open road keeping up with the cruisers and sports bikes. ABS is good on the brakes. Had it still been in production I would suggest an electric reverse gear with a camera, cruise control and perhaps some music. Yes it would add to the cost but I see most of those features are now available on the Yamaha T Max and the Gilera MP3 550.
Do you have a link to those little mirror add-ons? I think that would be a great solution for me because the stock mirror setup isn't quite good enough.

I don't have a link but I got them off Amazon they were Berfi Life Blind Spot Mirrors. They do help but not the best.
