Though some scooters have a reasonable front mudguard most modern bikes and scooters
seem to have been deigned to chuck crap all over the rear of the bike and in the case of
the Burgman straight into the air intake.

The J300 and Xmax both have stupidly low wattage limit for the 12v outlet. My old Pugs could power a tyre inflator but these two can't. Grrrr.

The Xmax400 seat doesnt have much of a spring release...
Need two hands - one to turn the key, one to lift the seat...
Most scoot seat release have enough ooomph to allow it to stay clear of the lock...

180 mile range. How many riders go that far without a break? Not so good if you are crossing Sahara but not many do.

The biggest problem I currently have with the silverwing is that it won't come out of the garage when it's cold. I try, lord knows I try, but he just looks at me like a dog on a cold wet day when youu say "walkies" :shock:

Perhaps yours is a later one with a larger tank? Mine has 9 litres and by the time I'm at 110 miles or so it petrol station time for me
