They don't usually sell scooters, more a sports bike independent dealer, so may want to get rid of it.

I don't know a thing about Silverwings but this one on autotrader looks better value, although no proper pics.
They also may want to get shut as they're car dealers.
Long way down south though!

Looks like a nice scoot - leg deflectors already fitted, so that's worth £100. It looks like it's got a tall givi screen fitted. I'd change that for a Givi Airflow, but apart from that I can't see anything wrong with it. (But that's without seeing in 'in the flesh', as it were.)
I went from a Burger 400 to a Wing, and I LOVE it!!! :D
As I grow older, my mind doesn't just wander......sometimes it buggers off completely!!

personally after owning a silverwing ,and a burgman400..i'd go for the burgman 400..more comfortable just as quick .And 100 % better handling..the only thing differant is pick up speed..but not by a lot..after riding the s/wing i personally would not recomend one ,the handling for me, as i like to press on now an then ,was to put it mildly "CRAP".so look at the burger aswell,plus cheaper to insure an tax too..

On my brief ride, I thought it went rather well, but I wasn't a fan of the handling as well...

each person has a like / dislike an differant ways of riding style, the wing doesn't suit mine..i had no confidence on it ,tried diff settings .but it still weaved on certain corners, to the point where on a couple of occations i thought i was going to crash the weave was so severe,only good point was nothing was coming the other way.the burger and even the SYM i have now , i have so much more confidence in..to the point where i even touched the exhaust bolt on the floor ..oops.it handles VERY well.
