This scooter is big!!

Handsome family Lupe. I had a 1960 HD Topper scooter and a 1958 Cushman scooter when I was 11 and 12 years old. I got the Cushman because the HD never ran more that 100 feet or so. I have a soft spot for all scooters and I would and may own another before I 'retire' from riding.

BigNorm telling someone to put some gear on, now that is funny

The sudden impact and slide and roll has converted me.

Those vids remind me of an advanced riding course I went to. Instructor started by asking “who wants to go fast?”. A bunch of young hopefuls eagerly put their hands up. Go stand over there. Then he asked “who wants to go faster?”.

@mexican Besides needing more riding gear (I know scooters give that false sense of security since it is like riding on a carpet), what are you going to do about tuning that 600 cc engine. I am sure you could get some substantial performance gains replacing the clutch, advancing the top end, better exhaust, and remapping the fuel map. Eager to see your thoughts and plan. You'll be pulling wheelies on it before next season.

I used to love those bikes -- had a Honda Helix - same idea -- and an Aprillia Scarabeo 500 -- also similar -- all having CVT.

I've gotten spoiled by the DCT in my CTX700 - so much more crisp and responsive than the CVT.

Obviously the CVT works, and works well -- Honda has been making the Silverwing since 2001 and they keep selling.

The layout is practical - somewhat reminiscent of the trunk on the Honda Pacific Coast - loved that bike.

Excellent choice.

The first thing when i get back from vacation, i will replace the clutch and variator with Dr Pulley or J Costa, that in itself will make night and day difference, then i will put a car tire on it :roll:
