I've been itching lately, finally pulled the trigger, traded out the 06 Reflex for a 2012 Silverwing with 6k. It's a little rough and bone stock except for the Shad box mount.

Silverwing vs Burgman ?
I'm looking to upgrade the old reflex. Just wanted an opinion from a previous owner/rider. I'm sure I'll take a hit on economy, but it's the comfort level I need to get the best of. Pretty sure they...

At least 250cc
I agree 100% that if you are going to hit the highway you'll need to maintain 65-70 mph. I haven't seen a scoot under 250 cc that will do that comfortably.
