I really dig the look but I am totally NOT into the transmissions.... To much like a Bergman...
Now, slap an RC51 motor in there with a 6 speed and now we are talking!!

HP !!!!!!

54 HP from a 750 cc engine ...............not exactly a screamer ? ? ?...........Mike :thumbup:

 

[Bob Denman]

Does it need to be? :dontknow:
With the potential for a full-, or semi-automatic transmission in it; I doubt that's what they're looking to sell it as.

If you can get a ride on one of the "maxi-Scooters" for lack of a better term, do it. You might be surprised at how much fun they are. I had a Cushman years ago. these are not in the same league. I used to doa lot of demo rides at big rallys. I also got to know the ladies who "handed out the rides". One (or more them) said, I need to ride a Silver Wing (scooter). Except for the shifting method, it was fun.
Honda has used the Silver wing as a escort for Gold Wing Demo rides with no problems.

" Scooters " handle like cr*p,.......because ALMOST ALL the weight is above the axles and the tires makes them squirrely.............JMHO.....Mike :thumbup:

Too bad Honda will price it ridicuously high, like they did the NC700, over 15K, take it or leave it. Same way with the PC 800, which I dearly loved and hated giving mine up. As for the poster who thinks scooters ride like crap, he/she needs to ride one first. I've got the Piaggio X9 Evo 500ie and the Aprilia Atlantic 500 and both ride and handle like a dream!

Actually I did log a lot of miles on " scooters " back in 1968 as a cop in Central Park in NYC. I was lucky and never received any serious injuries but I knew more than a few guys who did.....Mike :thumbup:

I've had a couple of Bergman 650's and I assure you they will easily outrun any Can Am. The motors and transmissions are darn near bullet proof and extended warranty's doesn't cost an arm and leg.
A friend of mine put 200,000K on his first and is now working on the second one. He did have a belt break at 90K but his extended warranty covered it and he had the OEM plugs replaced at that time.
Ran whatever 10-40 car oil was on sale.
