Honda FES 125 S-Wing (2007 - present) review

The WSBK paddock are now heading to the UK for the seventh round

Honda says:

Proudly cosmopolitan and styled for the business of urban transit, the distinctive S-Wing combines comfort, convenience and urban élan in an executive class scooter that refuses to blend in. With its distinctive front cowl design deflecting the wind, the S-Wing lets you cruise the avenues in blissful comfort. Its clean, quiet and powerful engine carries you across town in a flash, yet with minimised emissions that are easy on the environment. Even the S-Wing?s stopping power is tops in its class, with Combined disc brakes providing an ideal balance of control. Under its supple seat, a spacious compartment carries all your daily necessities, and even a briefcase, while its sleek rear carrier mounts an optional top box with a single clip-on manoeuvre. Performance, style and clean, quiet good manners. Perhaps now is the time to explore new ways of doing business - aboard the sleekly attractive S-Wing.
