Himalaya and Iowa, now those are sure some opposing geographies. And like the term “jumbo shrimp”, isn’t it an oxymoron? |

| I always try to have an Unbiased opinion but it's hard. The snow is starting to stop here at last. What's an oxymoron?

| Kawasaki man, wouldn't it be better for your to go back to bikes that meet your requirements as the Silverwing doesn't seem to since you find so many bad things about it. It's a scooter not a zoom-splat (term for sports bikes).
Most of us aren't having many handling problems with the Silverwing but that's likely to be due to the more advanced age of most members here. Just about all of use have many miles on variousĀ motorcycles from small 50cc bikes to Hyabusa's. If you want more sporty riding a scooter isn't really the bike to ride. What brought you to buy the Silverwing that wasn't likely to meet your sport bike desires in the first place? |
