[Comparison] Majesty vs Silverwing Discussion

[dragonforce]

For me,

1. it is the storage space, comfortable seat for rider and pillon.

2. It is just nice for city riding and not under powered like my previous ride x9 almafi especially when having a pillon.

3. Want speed, can get just burn a bit more petrol

4. Got shoe protections especially when there is a heavy downpour or road is wet

5. Got windshield to protect from small flying items, water mist from rear of car and etc

6. No need to change gears perfect for a person like me

 

Maintenance wise, I have no idea yet.

 

Only Con....NO POWER to cheong or overtake whenever I want to unlike

S4 Spec III if only there is the best of both worlds. gear plus lots of storage space for 400cc class

 

There I have made my points, hope it helps you decide faster.

thanks alot for sharing both pros and cons of the bikes.. will read up more on the forum..

strongly recommend you go see and get up the 2 bikes for real... you'll get very different feel. a big difference to me is the space to put down my legs when bike is stationery.

 

majesty is "fatter" at the "leg down" area (above the side stand), means i gotta open my legs wider when reaching for the ground. SW's design incorporated leg access space (curve inwards) for the rider's legs, more comfortable and easier reach, especially useful for shorter riders like me

 

see the difference in "leg down" area below:

majesty... straight n flushed leg access

silverwing... with curved in leg access

SW eat more at FC? how is e FC of Majesty huh?

my current SW is at 20-21km/L compare to my last S4 at 21-22km/L,

but i happier wif e comfort n engine performance with sw still.

e shop dun even suggest e italian scooter to me,instead he say a SYM engine is smoother, but compare to a TW engine i prefer honda's..

YP400 FC is 23-24km/l.

 

It loses to SW in terms of cornering n time in reaching top speed. O not forgetting the discomfort of tip toeing when siting on YP400. BUT I still like YP400 bcos of its look!

[scoobydoo]

looks wise...

majesty is nicer from the front, especially the twin headlight... looks cool

majesty's front wheel got 2 disc brakes, looks more sporty

majesty has bigger front dashboard compartment, SW has 2 separate small ones

majesty's dashboard electronics looks more sporty

side view both very similar, except that SW looks a bit longer

SW's exhaust looks the best, majesty's nowhere close

majesty's rider/pillion seat looks broader, makes the bike look fatter

SW backside looks nicer and more sleek, majesty's looks like a fatty bum

i really like the SW's rear spoiler, we can fit the top box's base-plate directly

 

putting looks aside, i chose the SW becoz of what's inside... a smoother in-line twin, a honda engine

[BlackChocobo]

Personally, I like SWing's face... Like a bird... The centre load capacity is big... Haiz... The spoiler... kana 4 holes... Sian...

 

Anyway, whichever Maxi-Scooters it is~ It rocks~~!!!

[HelmetBOX1605198525]

i prefer SW backside. than majesty

but the face i prefer majesty than SW

Eee... HelmetBox play backside... No offence... Just a bit bored...

 

So anyhow blabber...

 

Anyway, SW's compartments are marvellous... I realised that it can even hang a helmet by the side... I was reading my manual earlier and discovered it...

you yet to see majesty!hahah

[BlackChocobo]

oh ok... But you're a SWinger also rite?

 

How can downplay your bike? tsk tsk~

[william_liu]

I think the Burgman's underseat compartment is also quite good and spacious!

[scoobydoo]

u already got ~100L of storage space, why still put helmet outside?

SW compartment are marvellous..

you yet to see majesty!hahah

yeah... was also tempted by majesty's whopping storage (>10L bigger) but finally chose engine performance over storage

but i think the most keeelat one is MP3, huge 65L + backside got boot can open

but riding it would probably feel like riding a higher speed ATV... fat ass... whahahaha

No la... Just saying lor... Got new things found ma... Interesting to me~

So Majesty's got the biggest space for 2 wheeler?

 

but i think the most keeelat one is MP3, huge 65L + backside got boot can open

I dunno about the MP3 concept... But it seemed to me like a tricycle mis-assembled...

[scoobydoo]

of power is not your priority then got for the masjest 250 for it looks!

[Swing 7777]

if u have class 2,go for the new tmax if u dun need the storage.no regrets.but if u dun play,dun need power,just need storage,get burg or majesty.if u need reliability,get the Big Red H.

[scoobydoo]

... get the Big Red H.

si mi lai?

wah... silverwing not even mentioned woh

[BlackChocobo]

si mi lai?

wah... silverwing not even mentioned woh

 

SilverWing is 400 dear sir

 

It is the BEST 400cc Maxi-Scoot in town... So no need to mention~ Let the runner-ups fight it out~

[Stefano Virgilli]

apart from finding out the technical specifications and others' recommendations, it is most important to see the actual bike for yourself. it may be a good bike, but as long as you don't like the styling or features/design or even "branding", you won't feel shiok riding it. some people say its like looking for a partner... nice girl/guy but if don't feel good, then matching is not going to last. lucky thing divorcing a bike costs a lot less, emotionally and financially

 

i looked at quite a few maxis (SWing, burgman 400/650 Exec, majesty 250/400, MP3, X8) before settling for a SWing 400, its not the best in every aspects but summing up the pluses, minuses and feel factor, decided on it. these are some things i considered (not in order of priority though):

. * price (decided not to spend that much despite liking it a hell lot, then lowered budget for 400cc)

. * styling (really liked what burg-X has, majesty/SW looks very similar, preferred SW coz can fix top box without using rack)

. * engine (preferred SW's parallel twin over single cylinder)

. * suspension (preferred burgman's link-type rear)

. * storage space (MP3's storage is most attractive)

. * brand (honda has better resale value and reputation for engine reliability)

. * spare parts (friends & mechanics all tell me italian parts very expensive)

. * stablity (MP3's 3 wheels wow, but was told it'll cost more to maintain)

. * windshield (size of burgman, SW, majesty good enough)

. * weight (SW's 228kg is heaviest, more stable but consumes more petrol)

adding up, i felt most comfortable buying the honda silverwing 400, so that was it... the rest is history

 

help this can give you an idea of how i choose bikes

 

good luck to your bike hunt

 

Bro, this helped a lot!

but as for e box without bracket, e box jus wun stay open by itself, cos of e angle not water level enuff. so had to keep using hand to hold e lid. anyone got solution?

u know the wire or cable that holds on to the cover of the box when its open? change that wire or cable to a longer one. that will do the job. hope u understand wat i'm talking abt.

[merz65]

oh . ya , y i didn't think of tat... thank you.... now jus had to think use what to replace it ..
