(Honda SilverWing is more simple). For the Suzuki, I can affirm, that the handling and stability are excellent (as on BMW, and much better than Harley Davids', for example), it comfort and protection is perfect (the windscrenn is adjustable electrically), the rear view mirrors are folded up. Powerful and very measurable braking (Anti blocking of brake ABS), capacity of the fantastic trunk, incredible lighting, the catalysed exhaust… For information, gearbox is Triptonic type; with the choice automatic D or sequential with 6 speeds. This machine (Suzuki Burgman 650) is a dream… Only, maximum speed is a little lower 180km/h ( 112Mi ) than motocycle with same cubic capacity . See you. Does n't choose this vehicle to WarmUp on the motorways, but to ride with full safety, calmly & serenity ... Wisdom ? All, better greetings of Brittany (F) A bientôt sur <a href="http://www.pirmil.info" target="_blank">http://www.pirmil.info</a> Pirmil

I once had hopes of being normal but am beginning to think it will never happen.

I used to go up some very steep hills, greater than 10%, and it would drop down to 25 at the slowest, but usually would get right back to 30. Was 60 all the Honda would do when brand new? Maybe it had a governor. BTW, the link I posted noted that the wheels were 10". Mine are 13". That, the engine size, the lack of a clutch and the styling are what led me to this model.
