Love to hear from Burgman/T-Max/Kymco/Piaggio/BMW C650/X-Max/Aprilia SRV-850 owners here....!
Any photo's/experience/knowledge or ride reports, or anything in general relating to Maxi-Scooter's please post here. Let's share the Maxi-Scooter love for these bigger machines.
Let me kick this off with my recently purchased 2007 Honda Silverwing 600 with 16k miles on the clock, ABS model. Recently collected it this week and only ridden 140 miles so far, but loving it's plushness comfort and physical size, it kicks out a healthy 50bhp with it's twin cylinder engine.
The S'wing has a decent 16 litre fuel tank size and I've heard on average you can achieve around 200/210 miles to a brimmed tank. From 2007 onwards they came with 'ABS' as standard. I've still a lot to learn with the S'wing.
Under the riders seat you have a huge 55 litres of spare storage space, space for two helmets. During my 140 mile ride home I was starting to notice the Honda Silverwing's engine sweet-spot was sitting between 65/75mph, so smooth.
The left glove box has good capacity (elbow deep) which houses a handy 12V power-socket outlet as standard, handy for powering a Sat-Nav or mobile phone, it's permanently live, so don't forget to unplug when parking the large Scoot up.
The Silverwing now sits alongside my 2008 V-Strom DL1000 in the garage, the V-Strom will be a little bit neglected til I get used to the quirks of the S'wing.
Here's a photograph I shot on my way home riding through the beautiful Scottish Highlands after purchasing the Silverwing;
