Looks a bit like a Kymco now :(

I hope they have one at the NEC to test ride (though if I can only try one scoot I'd rather try the BMW) riding.gif

Hopefully this will give Honda a kick in the ass to update the Silverwing too.

A few videos are now appearing on-line.
It really hasn't changed that much for me to say "I want one".

The new 650 Burgie also has new clutch plates to reduce friction when being wheeled around with the engine off, and a new lighter (by 50%) ABS pump.
Probably not ugly enough for the 'Ugly Bunch'! :lol:

Been riding for 55 years & owned too many bikes to list here...

Honda don't need kicking up the ass they updated the Silver Wing a couple of years ago, and the SW-T 600 is for sale in the vast majority of EU countries.
Not here though and the rep at the NEC bike show last year denied there even is a SW-T :roll:

It took a while but I have just noticed what the main difference is between the 2012 and 2013 models.

There are some more pictures of it on Visordown.

The picture of the dash caught my attention. It still has the existing controls for the Auto box, which I didn't find very ergonomic, and it still has the heated grips control (or at least I assume thats what it is) lashed under the handlebar like an afterthought!!
