| Hi all,
I saw this on another site, and I'm sure some of you have too, and thought I would share it here. It is a BMW with a larger engine and tires, and looks pretty good to me. I also have heard rumors about a Silver Wing 750 or the E4-01, as I'm sure you have heard about those too.

| Wow! That looks nice. Can anyone explain why the Silver Wing has smaller wheels than a motorcycle with 600cc? With bigger wheels I feel that the ride would be better. Would we lose storage capacity? |

| Hello Jeff: I would love to have something like that become available, but sadly, it may not be true... I read something the other day that claimed that the guy who posted that article about an 800cc BMW scooter is well know for "photo shopping" radical bike designs, so that post may be a fraud. His name is something - Bezzi. |

| I agree with Gene, why don't they put larger tires on the SWing. The only things I would change on the Swing would be larger tires, cruise control, and better suspension. I would like a few more cc's but would rather have the first 3 I mentioned. |
