What is the difference in wingspan?
Depends--laden or unladen?
2013 PCX 150 [now an ex-bike, soon to be consigned to the bottom line of the sig]
2013 Silver Wing ABS (Black)
1971 BMW R75/5 (White)
Too many ex-bikes to list, and, besides, who really cares what we used to own?

Here when you take your scooter to the local Honda dealer for servicing they clean it with a power wash, and I know for sure that Honda's mechanics know show to treat a bike, so maybe it is not so bad for it.

Bearings are a problem, but a more immediate problem could be tyre damage if you leave the pressure at the sidewall for over 5 seconds: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article ... iller.html
