The new Honda SW-T400 at the Tmax aspiration ?
The only twin cylinder among 400 cc maxiscooters, the Silver Wing 400 gave way in 2009 to the SW-T400. By polishing the dynamic behavior of its scooter and radically transforming its lines, does Honda have the means to worry the Tmax ? Test.
Everything, really smooth
Despite its overweight, the SW-T400 delivers quite correct acceleration and pick-up in relation to its displacement. Cars, 125 scooters and even motorcycles – inattentive or quiet – are left far behind at the start of the stops and green lights.
But when it comes to city driving, perhaps the most convincing thing about this Honda scooter is the smoothness with which it moves its driver. Whether you drive on a trickle of gas, open openly or suddenly shut down the throttle, the engine and transmission show incredible thoughtfulness..
At low speed, the Showa suspensions operate correctly and the combined "CBS" braking allows you to maintain a perfectly flat attitude. The front brake lever lacks a little consistency but the power remains perfectly dosable.
Equipped with ABS, our test model allows you to take both levers with both hands without the risk of getting on the ground, slowing the scooter safely and, again, very smoothly. Safe and efficient, this is undoubtedly a strong point of the new Honda.
Integrated with the handlebars and high placed, the mirrors offer a good view and do not interfere with those of the cars. This makes traffic changes even easier: the SW-T400 – just like its pilot – is very comfortable in the city center..
