Hi Kurt, Silver Wing you say......well coming back from a ride in Wales last Sunday on my DR800S we (the wife & I) came up behind a scooter at a set of traffic lights. The lights changed and he took off and I was surprised at the acceleration, so instead of overtaking him, I followed, but he slowed for the next bend so I overtook, then on the next straight at 65mph (mobile speed camera site) he flew past at about 80mph, no camera, so I caught up until the next bend and his speed dropped dramatically and this carried on until I tired of being slowed in the corners, so I did an overtake and he moved across to block me, but he had to brake for the next bend and we sailed past the w*n*er. It was later that I discovered that it was an 8v fuel injected 600 twin twist and go scooter with 50bhp with my 10yr old DR having 52bhp....not much of an edge.

Hi Dave, yep sounds like the one I got Honda Silverwing... the wanker obviously didn't know anything about riding 2 wheels. If I had ridden the vmoto for much longer it would have needed a new centerstand. I must concede, this one needs some time in training.
