    I've owned my 2009 Honda Silverwing ABS for about 7 months and am very pleased with it.

    I was looking for a maxi-scooter with plenty of power.

    It's fun to ride on both secondary roads and the highway; very smooth, quiet, and stable.

    Typical "bullet-proof" Honda engineering.

    Yes, it is very heavy (close to 600 lbs with all my add-ons), but I've adjusted and I've never dropped it, and I only weigh 150 lbs.

    No regrets; I think it's a little bit smaller and thinner and more agile than the Suzuki Burgman 650. Most reviews pick the Burgman 650 over the Silverwing, but the Silverwing was the better choice for me.

    I bought this 2002 Honda Silverwing (then known as FSC 600) off Craigslist, from a student of automotive engineering who was an avid "tinkerer' of bikes. At 17,000 K miles, its rear tire was nearly worn.. the front rim needed replacement. Blue was not the bike's original color, and the original owner was riding it without the cowl nor plastics, leaving the bike naked and electrical wiring exposed to the elements. I purchase it for $4500 on the condition that he reinstall the cowl, plastics and ...

    I bought my 2007 Silverwing new. I drive it to work every day (100kms round trip) I am 5'9" 270lbs and my wife is 170lbs. The bike handles us both easily on the highway.

    I bought the bike with 5kms and have 13,000 on it. I average 4.9liters per 100 kms or 58-62 mpg. The bike is nimble enough for city driving, yet heavy enough not to be blown around too much on the highway.

    The best rides this bike gives are the long country drives. You have a comfortable seat, lots of storage, easy handling ...

    I bought a 2007 used Honda Silverwing 3 months ago and it was flawless with 4k miles on it. I paid $4,100 for it and i use it everyday instead of my gas guzzling suv. I also own a harley ultra classic with a S&S 107 inch motor in it. I only ride the harley on long road trips.My buddys laugh at me but i know i can keep up with them . Never thought ide buy a honda scooter.Well worth the money.

    18000 km on my Honda Silver Wing now and still love it. Have a new Breakaway throttle lock on it, a new extra large windsheild, and an Airhawk seat. All set!
    It vibrates at low speeds but these are normal "sympathetic vibrations" that occur because of all the plastic that the bike has on it. My previous bike Yamaha Majesty 400 maxi did the same thing. The power on freeways is greatly appreciated, love the two cyllinders. It eats gas at 5.2 L.per 100 km. which is like a Smart Car. Will replace my ...

    Have just got my Silverwing and done my first 1k and averaging 52ish mpg about 150 miles to a tank.
    So far so good although being 6'02" needed to replace the front screen to a Givi one to stop the buffeting I was encountering which has now stopped since being fitted.
    Good around town and good on the motorway up to 85mph.
    Yes I've encountered the vibrations on it but you have to remember it's a twist and go maxi-scooter not your Fireblade or Pan!
    I can't compare this to a Yamaha or other like sco ...

    I bought a 2005 Silver Wing in May 2005. It had 462 miles on it when I bought it. In the 4 years I have had it, I put 27,750 more miles on it. It has been a wonderful bike. I live in Tennessee and have made trips to Oklahoma and to Birmingham, AL and
    had no problems at all. It just glides down the interstate so well and it handles mountain roads great, too. It is also good around town as I use mine to do my errands on when I can. I have just traded my '05 Silver Wing for the 2009 Silver Win ...

    Everyone should have a Honda Silverwing in their garage as a backup vehicle to their gas guzzler. I've put 20,000 miles on the bike so far.

    I hate the Honda Silverwing, it's uncomfortable as hell to drive . if you are over 5 foot 10 inches tall there is NO ROOM for your legs . Every one has to spend a small fortune having the seat redone . The engines go bad at around 60K and man are they expensive to repair . One little bump and you've got at least $1,000 worth of damage to the plastics . The plastic body vibrates like crazy and drives you nuts . It sounds like your being attacked in your ear by a swarm of killer bees . I would ra ...

    Have had the Honda Silverwing from new about a year now. I have done about 2500 miles only as drive a car also. I get 50+ mpg and dont race around much or I am sure it would be lower than that. I have had no reliability problems. I am very pleased with the scoot so far.

    I ride between San Jose, CA and Santa Cruz, CA over route 17. It is a very curvy 4 lane with a lot of hills. There's a cement road divider between on-coming traffic and often no where to go on the right except a hillside or a cliff. Traffic moves at about 55 in the right lane and 65 in the left lane. There's a lot of commute traffic and so there's a lot of people ready to pass and tailgate in the turns going up and/or downhill. You need to be attentive at all times - it's not freeway or bo ...

    I'm very happy overall with my Silverwing. I bought it used with 7000 miles on it. The only maintenance needed was changing the oil.

    I bought the Honda Silverwing in March of 2007 and have 19,750 miles on it now. It is my third scooter after riding motorcycles for over 25 years. I had the Reflex and Majesty before the SWing, and although they are top quality bikes, they just aren't in the same leaque as the Silver Wing. I ride all over the S.F. bay area and it handles great in the mountains, twisties, and the higher winds. I can't see ever going back to motorcycles after having these scoots.

    The Silver Wing handles the ...

    Comfort. 1090klms in 14 hours. Fuel economy. 240klms on 9 litres. Easy to clean. Easy to service. Underseat storage is excellent and weather proof. lighter and quicker than a Burgman.
    I am an above knee amputee. No brake conversion neccessary. No bells and whistles. Excellent lights for long distance night work.

    We have two Harleys and two Honda scooters. the wing and a helix. it easily keeps up with the Harleys and its just a hoot to ride. Maybe someday in this country we will realize the practical ability of these things and there will be one in every garage

    Easy a 9 out of ten. It is the right size, the right power. Heavey enought to be stable at freeway speeds and fast enough to compete at freeway speeds.
    Easy to handle although low speeds require skill and knowledge related to the smaller wheels. A great gas saver!

    Over all we are very pleased with our Honda Silverwing. I'm 6'2" and weigh 285, My wife is about 5'9" and weighs about 185. I bought the scooter because it was automatic and light enough for my wife to handle easily. She does not ride it by herself because she would rather ride with me. It handles us both just fine. We love it and ride every chance we get. We bought it in 2006, it was a 2005 leftover and it gets 47 mpg.
