| Old fella looking to buy a big scooter. Have been on bikes for 40yrs. Trail/dirt/racers/cruisers.
Looks like I'll want the Silverwing or a Burgmann. |

| " Looks like I'll want the Silverwing or a Burgmann. " Well, do your research before you decide, in general the SW600 is kind of dated/old design, but are bulletproof/reliable and fairly easy to maintain. ITOH, the Burgman 650 is a better looking/modernized scooter, but need to buy 2013+(supposedly fixed ) models, the earlier had issues with cvt belt breaking and cvt transmission complete failure, the belt alone is $500 USD, transmission assy. for about $3,500, in most cases the B650 cvt failures are life ending events, cost vs vehicle value, etc. |

| If going with a Burgman I would lean towards the 400. Very similar to the Silver Wing and does not have the problematic transmission. Good luck. |
