One of the best big scooters on the market if getting there in time is more important than getting there in style
Don’t knock them if you haven’t tried them. Big scooters are actually very practical and the Silver Wing is one of the best
Hugely practical and very comfortable.
At the end of the day, it is a scooter and just not as cool as a 'proper' bike
