:)G'day.Rolly from Nowra Hill,168 klms south of Sydney.This is my Real World evaluation of my Wing.Comfort,perfection.I'm 6' and about 80kgs fully loaded.The only mod was the lumbar support on the seat.An american site,Leroy Beale .net provided the info to make the Butt rest into a back rest.Quick,cheap and easy to do.The motor,an absolute rip snortin,ball tearin little unit provides more grunt than the scoot can handle.I mean that in the respect that it goes faster than it's capable of keeping things under control.The suspension,this is what lets the scooter down.Typical Honda 20 or 30 years ago.Under sprung and under damped.Change the fork oil to 20 weight and that helps a lot.The arse end is OK if most riding-touring is one up and fully loaded with rider and gear no more than around 90kgs.Lights are great for standard units if the high beam is adjusted correctly.Weather protection,very good as is.The sceen is OK for anyone about 5'9" and shorter.Plenty of room under the seat for gear and I use an Andy's A bag(30 litre) on the passenger seat.Fuel consumption is strange.Naturally better on a trip,but better if it's worked a little harder.Optimum revs seem to be 5 to 6 k.The best so far is 300k on 11.2 litres.16 litre tank.Standard IRC tires were CRAP,20k,had to get rid of them,couldn't wear them out.Bridgestone Hoops on now,better,but next time,Michelin,couldn't get them in time.It really is a great scooter,and will probably see this old fossil out.Cheers,Rolly.
Just fitted a set of Storm Barkbusters to the Wing.Fantastic.$126 from Pro cycles or any local Bike shop.No more cold wet hands.
