Ha! My scooter will attract way more attention. It's a copy of a much better scooter, the Helix. People ride them hundreds of miles a day with no discomfort. I don't need no stinkin trailers. Sharpen that knife.

I just don't know what is best in scooters...I do know I can walk out and turn the key on and ride to California right now and would enjoy the ride and have no worries. But than, Silver Wings are made to ride not to TRAILER.

whats best in scooters is what you like,,,,some people like smooth long fast highway capable big bore scoots that are so close to an actual big wheel bike the only difference is the riding position and the auto trans,,,i like nimble quick lighter machines that get better mileage,,and being an ex flat track racer i think having a bike i can't stand up on while at speed is a dangerous bike,,( this is only my opinion),,,there are advantages to both disciplines i suppose ,,a long high speed ride on mine would wear me out big time,,conversely where i ride mulholland highway and canyon roads would beat up the long low crowd,,,thats why a multiple bike situation is ideal,,whether one is better than the other is pure conjecture ,,,,,

big bore scoots consumes gas like hell kinda like 35miles a gallon, and it defeats the purpose of riding a scooter, which is to save gas!!!!
Silverwing is rated 600 cc, could u imagine its gas mileage?? id guess 28mi to the gallon... OMG!

Most Silver Wing riders report 51 -59 mpg... with Vovager kit I get 42-45mpg if I keep it under 6k or 72mph. On long trips fully loaded for A few weeks from home so was a fair average for just under 4,000 in 5 weeks. I love riding 2 wheels also and do when I can. The Silver Wing is perfect for my riding and health reasons. Now if I had the money, I would get a Victory Custm Trike...LOL
