MikeRUST rightly pointed out that I had filed my plea for info under the wrong subject.

I am interested in this toy=
http://www.motorcycledaily.com/01may08_ ... n01_p1.htm

It ´s an automatic , a must for me. Still in love with my Silverwing 600cc but to look at other girls is not forbidden, right?

It sells for 12.000€ in Germany.

Do you think it can be bought here?
Any guestimate what it might cost with proper papers?

I would buy only Japanese here In SEA.

In Japan it is said that the price is around €8000, sizable difference, would pay for some import duty.

Any Japanese speakers here?

its very very expensive and all reviews have been rather underwhelming , its slow ,handles poorly , lacks luggage capacity compared to silver wing and it is complex.

What I love about my SilverWing is that even after 7 hours of riding, me rear end is still cool and it is in no hurry to get off the bike, my Silverwing becomes my sofa where I can stay and relax.
This was my only hesitation when I saw the photos = the sitting position.
Above 2 reports seem very neutral and yet very usable.
Thanks , I will save some serious money and rather take my SilverWing to New Zealand

I GUESS I WILL ......for the time being.

Now that I have the belt slippage under control and the SilverWing is chasing up the hills like a young horse, thanks to MikeRust and his J.Costa variator the riding is pure joy.

Saw a Honda E4-01 talked about at the 2005 Tokyo fair, but nothing new on that scooter.
