SBF Silverwings / HOM Cafe 2012

[joey_sfb]

Model A has ABS brake and D doesn't. They even label it as such.

 

You can try Boon Siew. They are the source through they did announce Japan has stop silverwing production for now.

[entheos_golf]

Thanks Joey , will contact boon Siew later . Thanks for the info , I was trying to navigate and read up but got lost .

[entheos_golf]

HI Joel , Manage to call Boon Siew the sales person on lunch break went down to show room did not see the silver wing on display . Ask about it from counter receptionist ask another lady to come out to tell me to call back again to look for the sales person . I check with the Lady if they sell direct she said yes but now don't have stock and ask me to call the dealers .

 

Very strange and odd ward feeling buying a brand new bike whoch they sell direct but does not care to take my particular , despite I told them that I was recommended to buy from boon Siew .

 

So decided to look at Yamaha show room they do not have a 400cc scooter .

 

Later went to AS Phoon to view the used silver wing and also had a chance to view the Suzuki Burgaman looks great .

 

Any commence or advice if i should buy a silver wing or the Burgaman ?

[joey_sfb]

Yamaha Majesty 400 also EOL. Now 400cc SG contender are Suzuki Burgman 400 and Kymco Xciting 400i

 

For Boon Siew, I deal with that person, his name is Bryant Gan, call their main line 63399002 before dropping by.

 

I normally call to make appointment with him before my visit. He is a straight forward person and a nice guy.

Hi Joel , thanks for the info I will give it a try . I spoke to AS Phoon guys he is Malaysian also very nice says able to throw in accessories when I buy from him .

 

It will be nice to talk to a strait guy so we can do a clear decision of which brand to buy . My concern is after sales and parts availability . If the silver wing going EOL soon that will be a concern .

 

Many thanks for your reply Joel .

[SW9000]

SW will still have parts available even if production stop.

 

You should be lucky if there are any new FJS400 hiding in some bike shop.

 

Anyway, SWT has a price premium over other 400cc scooters. A few $k difference.

If you like smoothness and quietness with big storage, then prepare to spend the extra $$ for a SW.

Otherwise, the Burgman400 or other 400cc should be good for local rides or light tour.

[entheos_golf]

Thanks for the info SW9000.

 

I am keen SW FJS 400 it will be good enough for my usage, wont be planning to go touring may be to JB and Melaka the most.

 

Once I have got my bike can join you guys for some kopi and makan session ?

 

Any one have experience in NOLANs Helmet with ventilation ? Care to share some models and where to buy it ? Any helmets for kids size 6 to 14 years old ?

Just PM you thanks

[entheos_golf]

Have to apologise again have lost touch on bike for 20 plus years not familiar with the short terms and lingo .

 

Just went to LAB ( easy to remember any one ride motor cycle will sure know ) yesterday , he is as friendly as ever . Could not recognise him after so many years , his voice is cord is damage .

 

LAB does not carry scooter accessories much according to him only tyres and belt .

 

So have to hunt for other place for SW-T accessories , like camera , phone holder , large cover for scooter , seat net seam is a in thing , may be new rear box and stickers to cover scratches , for body and plastic on exhaust .

 

Hope can share some site or picture of bikes are install with nice accesories .

 

Thanks

for phone holder recommend RAM mount spring loaded cradle. can get from gpscity, JR or BHH https://www.bhh.com.sg/product-category/motorcycle-accessories/ram-mounts/cradles-holders/

 

For cover its LAB and the seat net thingy is actually called bike seat condom (googled bsc-56)

Wow nice MaIkEr ...and you ride all the way to Hatyai ..Kudos .

 

Thanks for the link on the previous gurus Kang taus ...

 

I am enjoying the Silver wing SW-T it is a good choice , any way does the Honda silver wing have a Face book like the Suzuki Burgman group ?

 

Thanks to all who have shared and explain the differences .

 

I will keep up dating if I get new accesories . Cheers and have a great weekend

There isn't any more SW-T in production. What we have on the roads that's it.

I think I better service my bike nice nice to keep it road worthy for long long or at least another 5 years till COE ends.

Still got many places of interest in Thailand to cover.

Hi fellow forumers,

 

I do not own a SW but am very interested in owning one, hence i would like to do some research first.

 

May i ask,

Are SW parts exclusive to themselves? Are they common/generic? I.e. to say if i nd to change "insert part", can I get it easily as it is commmonly shared with other bikes/scooters?

 

I would also like to hear your experience re:

1. Static handling. I.e. manouvering to park/forward backwards etc (worry due to the rather heavy weight n long wheelbase)

 

2. Manouvering between vehicles on the road

 

Am trying to look thru the threads (2k+ pages) slowly, so if ive asked sth thats been asked befr i apologise in advance.

Just go here for some info will do.

http://www.singaporebikes.com/forums/showthread.php/325894-lt-Info-gt-Silverwing-400cc-600cc-Tech-Corner

 

As for handling... depends on strength and skill. I don't have problem so far, not that I'm strong. One of the rider is a small sized chap yet he owns the SW for close to 10 years already.

Some may complain abt its weight when pushing. They'll end up buying a lighter scooter soon.

 

Lane splitting... depends on balls and skill. No problem since most SW owners are very confident about theirs.

Thanks for ur reply.

Guys pls post if u knw of any shops still selling SW new. Tyty

I have recently also went thru the forum , also got lost and overloaded with info. There was a few of them which are active and responded , gave good tip also some pre written by gurus .

 

The Honda silverwing is great bike to ride very effortless coming from some who has not ride for 20+ years . The power is remarkable in shot distance you will hit 80 Km the ride is very smooth pick up . The vibration is not on the handle bar more from power of the engine . Weight was also one of my concern , it was easy to over come as the rider seat is lowered so much easier to reverse or on idle on traffic junction . I am 1.68 m in height last time when I was riding the Yamaha FZR 400 I have to tip toe all the time .

 

What like about it is the space on the seats and with a extra box behind is perfect can have two helmets and all the covers , wind breaker jackets, rain , caps , paper work ... wah very shiok . Now figure out how to get my sunday golf bag to ride to Driving range .

 

There is a well recommended mechanic shop AC motor or can go back to Boon Siew , parts are available from local or even buy on line from japan . Buying of bikes you can still pre order from the dealers or you can try calling to arrange with Boon Siew . There is a shipment of SW-T coming in you can booked in advance . I was looking for a brand new unit at fist but was turn off by poor reception and no procedure of sales approach on Boon Siew side . I went around to looking for Honda dealers listing some suggested other brands , and the low stock and availability . Still determine to buy a Honda silverwing SW- T model manage to buy a 1 year 8 month old . It seems that is also parallel importer if you are keen , if I am not wrong as I was talking to the Honda dealers it does not come with warranty . The Local units come with 1 year warranty .

 

Yet to find out on the servicing cost on the main agent vs the others ?

 

Next is to look for holder for my phone and also install camera .

 

Hope it helps TYTY
