I so wanted to like the Myroad 700. The cockpit was too cramped and uncomfortable for my 6'3" frame. After 45k miles, my Xciting 500 was feeling a bit cramped, despite the custom seat and handlebars that I had made. It looks and rides real trick. Love it. Go scooter camping aka s'camping all the time. Here's a link to a short video on the Tube:

My LMS had a real nice Silver Wing and since I am a good customer, they made me a decent deal. I do like the Silver Wing. Looking forward to a 3,000 mile round trip from south Texas to northern California in the spring.

Bummer Sissy Mary. My 09 clocked 43800. More if I wasn't also riding a Lance Cali Classic 150 all over town. It's a year old and has 2300. I'm trying to catch up to you. Although, I am seriously considering a Honda Silverwing. Like the smooth twin on the highway.

I don't remember about the bags. I know it was online somewhere like ebay or Amazon or something. From Italy I think. They are throw-overs. The handlebars came about because I tightened the straps too tight while trailering it from Austin to San Antonio. When I arrived, they were bent down. Way down. Found some bars I liked and the shop tefch installed them with Kurakyn grips. Verty comfortable. the risers came from Dragon Customs. I think they are out of business now.

Great story, Ole Two Wheels.

Alyn, funny thing I noticed about the exhaust. I went back to OEM muffler and rpms at hiway speed seem to drop by about 200. Not quite as quick off the line with OEM. I am thinking now that the back pressure from OEM does make the scooter scoot better down the road. Mileage remains the same as near as I can tell. The exhaust was a Zard from Italy. I liked it. Sound especially. Although the OEM is quieter, with a pleasant growl under acceleration.

I am running  a free flow air filter that I made myself. I cut out the cadrboard from OEM and inserted Unifoam cut to size. Unifoam is what some racers use. Oil it like a K&N.

Here's one with tent set up near shade trees

Thanks Dawsman and Xsel.

Allow the electronics to fire up before cranking the engine. I wait for the battery light to go off, or I listen for the buzzing noise to click off. Booting up the electronics while headlight is on and cranking the engine at the same time is a big drain on battery. And will probably lead to premature stator failure.

Under a separate post, I wrote about switching to a Lithium battery. Lighter and lasts longer and is more expensive, until the cost is prorated over the life of the battery which is 4 to 5 years. And requires no battery tender in winter for the majority of users.
