He says this sits really nicely, very comfortable with plenty of 600cc power. Also very smooth. Automatic transmission with peobably works with a Hy-Vo belt means no shifting in traffic. Sounds great to me. I told him that Mrs Herring might ride it and commandeer it right out from under him. He told me not to give her any ideas Lol! Gosh, I drove a Lambretta scooter around about 60 years ago. Much smaller engine. And do not qualify for highway as not enough horsepower. Buddy in high school had a 175 Vespa. Convinced the highway patrol guy that meant 17.5 HP. Required 15 for freeway travel. The Lambretta was fine for put-putting around New Haven and environs but not for the highway. The Silverwing is plenty powerful enough for the highway. Congrats on your "find". Hard to come by. --- This email has been checked for viruses by AVG. https://www.avg.com Thanks. This thing has only a bit over 1200 miles on it. The dealership did change the oil and trans fluid while they had it. Even showed me the work order. Rode it for a couple miles up there. Great acceleration. It takes a second for the auto trans to kick in, but once it does the thing definitely wants to scoot. Of course, the first thing I did was pull in the rear brake lever and search with my toe for the gear shift! |
