After deep consideration and discussion with some of my friends. Still prefer Honda leh.. still cant convinced myself to get other brand.. Unless price is very attractive.

The new S-wing looks very tempting....

 

Dunno if the understorage space is improved.... from the website http://www.ibike.com.hk it seems like so....

i also agree that it looks good... question is whether it is worth selling the current FJS400 to buy the SW-T400 for the facelift

 

attached is some quotes from the mini "review"... translated below for those who don't understand Chinese

 

1

handlebar assembly of the new model has been improved, to reduce vibration of the rear-view mirrors and stability at slow speed

2

engine, steering, chassis, tires, suspensions, and other machine assemblies remain the same. thus the SW-T 400 can be deemed a heavy face-lift over the present SW400, not a new bike.

3

in my opinion, the new model looks nicer, the rear section looks exceptional. however, the head section looks similar to those from other manufacturers, nothing unique of honda. especially the "one-eye jack" lateral twin headlights, it loses the special character of current silver wing.

i will be really tempted if both headlights are lit at low beam

Front design look very sporting. But I don't like the rear design, find a bit awkward.

 

They come with a rear box design this time. Not sure whether it will be sold here.

[kenshi1777]

think need go down to see the real T-400 to comfirm.

This is true.

 

Because I don't find this SW an extensive make over/face lift compare to our existing SW. It will probably not entice me to wait for a new 09 model if I am a new buyer now.

 

But if SW is re-designed like E4-01, then I think it will be a different story..

Guys, below are the links to the various Tire brand/models for SilverWing:

 

Pirelli GTS 23 & 24 (hmm... not sure SG got this)

 

 

Pirelli Diablo

 

 

Bridgestone Hoop Standard & Pro

 

 

Metzeler Feelfree

Thanks for sharing.

 

Considering either Diablo or Feelfree for my new sets of tyres.

 

Pilot sports, though is good, wears out too easily.

Saw an FBD silver colour (I think) SW at IBP basement carpark just now.

Bike have no box yet, just like mine:angel:

Anybody from here?

[scoobydoo]

bridgestone S322 comes with 145/70 R13 and 155/70 R13 ... hahahaha http://smileys.on-my-web.com/repository/Laughing/lol-059.gif

Four straight main grooves enhance high water drainage leading to high wet grip/traction. Lateral grooves, lateral sipes and random pattern arrangement provide quite ride and high wet/dry traction and wet/dry grip.

whichever the choice... suggest get them both changed quickly

 

better be safe and invest on a pair of good workhorses that keep us from kissing the tarmac

[greenday]

After reading this forum for quite a while, I keep hearing that Wonderful Motor is a good place to do basic servicing for SW.

Think might be going down during lunchtime to do my servicing.

How long do you guys think it will take?
