the silverwing is about as "un-scooter" like as it gets. if your lookin for Austin Powers look, then this might not be the bike for you.i own a silverwing and a reflex sport.(i grew up racing bmx bikes and street racing cbr´s,so dont get any preconceived notions.)but anyway,ive reached above average highway speeds,with no problem.im also 6ft,215lbs,and it carries my weight,girl,and junk with no problem.
