I bought mine about 5 years ago and rode it occasionally on a spare bike. It is a great upgrade for a bike frame that is smaller than you'd need. I use it on cheap hardtail and I'd recomend it to anyone who'd like a plushy ride.

Everyone seems to have issues with the electric start on these bikes. My electric start fires every time. Key on. Red button up. Press back button start and she fires. If it is cold pull the cold start button out on the carb, and after idling for a while push it back in. When the bike is cold you have to put it in neutral for the electric start to work. Holding the clutch in wont work as the bike has to build compression. If you pull the clutch in and try push the bike when cold you will see what I mean. I never have a problem with the electric start. I never kick start my bike.

Yes, these Maxi scooters are vastly under rated. I have both a GL1800A Goldwing and a Suzuki Bergman 650 and have now decided to sell the Wing. The scooters are loads of fun and easier for an older guy like me to deal with (80 yrs old). The Silverwing looks like a good alternative in this market. Too bad both companies stopped making them

Hi there. I own a 2022 Top Fuel. Best all round dually I've owned. The factory low setting is better for trail riding and high is more friendly for XC. (Which is opposite to the assumption in your video.) By switching from low to high you raise the rear of the bike approx 7mm which brings the BB up 5mm and increases the head tube angle by 0.4deg, among other small downstream geometric effects.. The slightly steeper head angle will give you more responsive steering and the slightly more forward stance of the bike promotes improved climbing, both better for tight XC trail use. The fact you didn't notice any difference suggests what I thought all along. The differences between the two settings are so marginal most people won't notice anyway. Except maybe the higher BB which will reduce crank strikes. You live on some nice trails. Where is that?

Excellent video, probably the best I've seen on the Silverwing. I purchased a slightly used 2006 model in 2008 because my doctor misdiagnosed my lyme disease in 2007 and had me convinced I was going to suffer from arthritis the rest of my life. I could not throw my leg over the seat of my current bike during that period and had lost strength in my grip. The Silverwing was a great bike to allow me to keep riding and I needed that at the time. In late 2009 I finally got properly diagnosed and recovered well. I bought a nice used Goldwing in 2010 and did the Traxxion Suspension and I love it. However, I could not part with the Silverwing. It was just too practical and just too much fun in town, and as you mentioned, longer rides which would happen a lot because the bike is more than capable, and you just want to keep going and get lost on it sometimes. I almost put it up for sale this spring because I will be moving from Massachusetts to Florida, and I need to downsize and get rid of some things. But I realize Florida traffic is not for the weak, and it may not be practical of me to use the Goldwing for around town riding. Your video helped put an end to my thoughts of selling. It's a much safer and practical bike for my situation. I'm feeling it would actually be stupid of me to sell it now so I''ll be going to Florida with two bikes! Thanks!

Hey Brian, can you elaborate on your rod holder? I like to wade fish creeks and don't really like fishing from the kayak so Im looking for more of low-profile rod transport to keep my rod out of branches than a "rod holder" made most for trolling or passive fishing. How did you connect your rod tube and what is the tubing exactly? I just bought an aspire so trying to duplicate what u have. thanks
Any updates on the Ultralight? how's it treating you?
solid boat. well worth the price if your not too heavy.
I turned 66 and bought a 2013 with 3000 miles. I haven't ridden a bike of this caliber in 40 years. I haven't really ridden it much as it is still cold here. There does seem to be an issue starting it. Any thoughts?
I now know about you & your preferences! But I know nothing about the Scooter itself ! Apart from you exploited a poor old man !!!! Not good bud & nothing to be proud of
ray-dee-ate-er 😂
lol, ya I guess it depends on where your from.
