Reminds me of my Honda CB160 motorcycle.

I did my mc endorsemnt test on my brothers Honda Dream. I wouldn't
mind having one now to carry on the back of my camper.

The frame on my 5er isn't strong enough to put on a motorcycle carrier. This scooter weighs a bit
over 550 lbs wet.

That is 100# more than a Sportster.

The Honda Dream isn't anywhere near 500 lbs. Your scoot weighs as
much as a Duchati.

The Silverwing isn't a lightweight scooter, but it's not nearly as heavy as that big Ducati
Imaginario of Harry's.
