You have warped rotors. To cure the problem, you will need to remove both front rotors and have them turned by a machine shop, or replaced if they are not turnable. Be sure and replace both front sets of pads, even if they look good. Also check the calibers to make sure they are not sticking. Sticking calibers will overheat the rotors and warp them. When you put the wheels back on be sure and torque the wheel lug nuts to the proper torque, probably 80 lb/ft. Overtightened nuts will warp rotors.

Highway speeds on burgman 400?
top speed is 100mph or so, but that's not very safe to go up to on such a lite bike, on the burgman 650 exec it is but not on a 400. The fastest you'll want to go is about 85-90, no faster, that is if you want to break the traffic laws in your living area. but it will do highway speeds just fine, from 0-60 takes about 4-5 seconds depending on different factors.

I have a 1993 buick century that when you are coming to a stop it chugs i took it into Midas and they said i have a bad head gasket Or could it be something with my brakes?
White or blue smoke, and oil in the coolant are two fairly reliable signs of a blown head gasket or crack in the block or head. If it was the brakes (warped rotors also cause vibration), you would feel it vibrating faster at high speeds with light braking, and slower at lower speeds.
