Re: Uber scooters
Very interesting the out come between burgman and bmw. i myself tend to lean towards burgman as they have been around longer than the bmw and they have been refining it to what they have with the 2013 model.

Re: Uber scooters
Interesting.
Curious facts......
The Kymco clearly has made it to the States, whilst it hasn't to the UK. Makes Yamaha's not selling the Mk4 Tmax in the USA look a strange decision.
How come the Burger is more expensive than the BMW in the USA when its rather cheaper here?
The real oddity is that Honda are still selling the Silverwing, almost unchanged, after 12 years. There again, its clearly still not completely outclassed.

Re: Uber scooters
46mpg!!!!! My Triumph will do that. I'm sticking with the 400 then, even severe thrashing hasn't seen it drop below 68

Re: Uber scooters
I also find it strange that the new t-max is not on the new import list . I do think it will be available as a special order like the mana is in the uk this year from aprilia /piaggio group . BMW also state in the uk that there scoots will be available as special order and not stock items . With regards to the silver wing it's still a great scoot and I a sure mr honda will be doing a revamp very soon .

Re: Uber scooters
The current Silverwing is being discontinued I read somewhere before Christmas. There is no replacement for it on the horizon the article said. Hope that's wrong! Honda are to rely on the NCT something or other instead. 
Probably not ugly enough for the 'Ugly Bunch'!
