“Scooter? Sportbike? Workhorse?”
Written on: 29/03/2013 by MartinVdM (1 review written)
Going on my third year with my 2004 'Wing, and I have to say I will never go back to a standard bike. I love the SW for acceleration which beat a 600 sportbike in 0-150kph, handling (which in town is a little sluggish, but out of town it rivals many sport cruisers),long distance comfort, and capacity. I have ridden as much as 480 km with one quick gas stop and it was never a back or butt-breaker. I have ridden all over the upper Midwest U.S. Rides well with two-up, and even with a full...

“I'll take this scooter over a motorcycle anytime”
Written on: 21/11/2012 by playthrough (1 review written)
I've ridden motorcycles for over 40 years and 100,000 miles, yet I would never go back. This scooter takes two wheeling to a new level. Its start right up in below freezing weather. The handling around curves is extremely precise. The weight of the scoot helps handling during strong winds or the passing of semis. The gas mileage isn't great, but then buying a motorcycle or scooter really doesn't save money in the long run because of expensive parts, maintenance, and cost of the cycle. ... (read more)

“Honda Silverwing FJS600 2007”
Written on: 27/05/2012 by grs4637 (1 review written)
After many motorcycles, two Burgmans, this 2007 SW is my second. What I like about it is the smooth effortless power delivery, comfy ride and Honda reliability and build quality. Twice a week I commute a 160mile journey mostly on motorways and mostly and an indicated 80mph. The SW just eats up the miles without fuss or bother and I get off at the other end of my journey feeling still able to move my back and limbs! I also like the instrument layout, general styling and the storage... (read more)

“Such a Joy”
Written on: 07/05/2012
The bike maybe heavy to push about because it is! However once moving it as nimble as any small sports bike. I have never riding any bike ( inc 600cc race bikes) that can go from side to side like this. Great constant acceleration and will hold 95 easy. The transmission is the key to this bike's success. Brilliant bike with loads of space under seat. Nothing better for commuting into London. (read more)

I've owned about 40 motorcycles & have been riding 45+ years, owned other scooters & professionally drag raced bikes back in the 1970s. I currently also ride a FJR 1300, but thoroughly enjoy riding my 600 Honda Silverwing as for it's simplicity & good power, even when riding double. However, riding about town, parking, backing into a garage, etc., it feels like 3/4 of a full size motorcycle, not a scooter. It has a top heavy feel at slower speeds, especially into corners. -Its a hulk. No... (read more)

“2006 Silverwing”
Written on: 18/06/2011
A low center of gravity makes this heavy scooter feel light at a stop and when zippy through urban and suburban streets. I have taken the scooter on many highway runs but felt the original air screen allowed too much buffeting. Got an "AirFlow" screen and now the bike feels like a touring bike. I rode to an indicated 108 mph on the mass pike and also raced a friend on his burgman 650. We were neck and neck in a single lane passing a semi at 100 mph and he said I was pulling away. Probably... (read more)

I've owned my 'Wing for 3 years now and love it to pieces. It certainly has it's little things to be aware of, but I'm not so sure I would go so far as to call them bad points. But for the purposes of a balanced review here goes:
Niggles: It's heavy and therefore a bit difficult to put on the centre stand albeit there is a side stand too however. The plastic handlebar cover rattles at low speed. It can be a bit of a pain getting to the rear wheel to clean it or check tyre pressure. The...

I'm 71 and use my Silverwing for pleasure and convenience mostly riding in urban and I've only found 4 things not to my liking.Firstly, the OE mirrors are useless and could arguably be considered as dangerous unless the rider is less than about 5'6".I sourced out a new pair of cheap replacements with larger mirror heads and longer stems from a bike salvage dealer for £25 and they are the best mirrors I've ever had.They almost make the recommendation of the "life saver" glance over the right...

Having taken delivery of the Silverwing one week before setting off for a 3000mile tour, I was filled with trepidation about the setup and settings of the bike, which was a six month old, recently serviced machine, fitted with a touring screen and back box. The touring screen was hopeless, allowing the rain to stay both on the screen, and on my visor, I had it removed asap, and now have the standard unit fitted, more wind, less water! The 45 ltr colour coded back box is great, although will... (read more)

I am now on my second Silverwing, the first (non ABS model) having lasted 104,500 miles before the radiator let go (having the radiator so low down on the bike means it is very exposed to the spray off the front wheels and hence the salt during the winter months) unfortunately 2nd hand radiators are in short supply with the price of a new radiator making it an uneconomical repair.

I found this review very helpful because it touched on most aspects of the bike's features and performance and focused on serious, high mileage trips as well as daily commutes. I like the fact that the writer lists both pros and cons and gives detailed fuel consumption and tyre choice information. I especially appreciate comments that help assess the durability and the cost of long-term ownership.

2008 HONDA SilverWing FSC600D I'm 6' 3" and hadn't ridden in years - It was purchased to carry on the back of our RV so we wouldn't have to always tow a car - I find driving it utterly relaxing or invigorating depending on how far I turn the right grip - The scooter IS a bit "buzzy" (front plastic) when taking off - I find myself driving it nearly every day though, just to relax - I love driving it - Acceleration is VERY good! - I've learned to apply a bit of rear brake and keep a little...

Like other reviewers, ongoing knee deterioration limited my "lift-over" so I was forced to look at other rides...along with the Silverwing, I considered the Yamaha Majesty 400 and the Suzuki Burgman 650. I chose the Silverwing and have not regretted it for an instant. I was lucky to find a 2004 with 3000 miles on it for a very attractive price.
Acceleration is phenomenal. I haven't actually clocked it, but a friend with an 1100 Shadow says he starts falling behind about five feet off the...

When I bought my Silverwing I bought with my head and not my heart. It just doesn't do anything for me cosmetically. That apart, I can't fault it. It's plenty fast enough and will hold its own against most bikes (within reason). It handles well, is very comfortable, has excellent weather protection and great storage. Also, the price is really good at the moment. A few years ago it cost more or less the same as Yamaha's T Max. Whereas other makes and most Honda madels have increased... (read more)

First ever scooter - owned around 30 motorbikes in the past. Absolutely love this machine! Very comfortable, quick enough (cruise 80mph no prob) Superb two up and LOADS of luggage space. Handles great - really good on corners which is a big plus.
Really cant think of anything negative to say - tank range could be better - get around 125 miles before reserve - so realistic range of 150 miles. MPG 40 - 48 - not great but acceptable.
Highly recommended!

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...

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 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...

I found this review helpful because it gave an overall impression of the machine that included its strengths and weaknesses. However, the writer's calculations of the fuel consumption are a bit optimistic, in that the figures "58-62 mpg" should really be 57-58 mpg if the 4.9 litre per 100 km average is accurate.

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...

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 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

I found this review not helpful because it is missleasing & only one persons opinion. I have owned 2 Silverwing bikes the first one I retired at 104,000 miles circa 170,000kms; and only because it was uneconomical to replace the radiator on a high milage 9 years old bike (and I fancied a newer model).
<br/>
<br/>Givi sell a tall replacement windscreen which is very good for me (I am 6' tall). Not sure about the leg room comment as I have never thought the bike was compromised in this area. The seat is, comfortable, & well engineered (I believe that the drivers back rest is adjusable however I have never been compelled to do so); at least it can be opened at the same time as having the top box open. The same can't be said of many other bikes.
<br/>
<br/>The bike can vibrate a bit at low speed especially when cold but it is not noticably more than any other maxi scooter (Suzuki, Yamaha & Peugot) I have ridden over the years.
<br/>
<br/>Mechanical repairs... I have never had to pay to change anything other than the tyres, brake pads, oil filter, oil, spark plugs and the drive belt (circa every 12-14,000 miles) and occasionally fuses & bulbs and once the battery after 4 years). In summary all consumable items.
<br/>
<br/>In summary a good bike. If I had to criticise it would be the cost of buying new (but in this case you get what you pay for).

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...

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 am 6'5" and weigh 235 lbs. I didn't want to look like a circus bear on a bike, so I checked out both the Silverwing and the Bergman. Initially, I was leaning towards the Bergman because of the larger engine - until I sat on both bikes. The Honda was narrower, with a lower center of gravity. It felt more nimble to me and seemed to have more room for my knees. I use it as my every-day commuter in traffic and ride 250 miles per week.

I am sorry I bought this bike, it was too much money for what I got. I had to learn a 9000 lesson. You can not ride this in the rain and not expect to wipe out sooner or later. I am a very experienced rider, My Silverwing slid out from under me while I was going about 10 mph. This has happened twice. Now I need expensive body work. Both times I was going slow in the rain. But the good side is I was not hurt either time. (read more)

It must depend on the type of tyre that was fitted. To be fair, even the best tyres are likely to suffer some sort of failure when cornering in the wet.

The best scooter ever, can't compare to others. Even better than Burgman 650. Handles and rides much better than Burgman. I added some performance parts as well such as malossi variator and roller kit, kevlar belt, malossi clutch and leo vince full exhaust system. I would ony replace it with a Silverwing 750 when it hits the market.

Having bought my Honda Silverwing new in Sept 2007 I decided to add wind deflectors after a few months, and I can recommend them to anyone who enjoys the protection that scooters offer. The price of £75.00 is well worth it. (read more)

I have a 53 plate Honda Silverwing which I bought from auction for £1250 with crash damage and from trawling eBay and other such sites I € ve fixed it up like brand new for only £450.
I do find that people are less courteous towards you on a scooter than a sports bike which is unfortunate really. I get other drivers in Corsa's with gigantic wheels and Heinz beans cans for an exhaust laughing at me at the lights. There laughs soon fade though when it launches off from the lights leaving...

With the soaring fuel prices, the Honda Silverwing scooter is a fantastic choice. Comparing the Silver Wing to the Bergman and others, I don't see the need for larger engine of the Bergman. I have a friend that has a Bergman and he told me he got 48 mpg. I weight about 25 lbs more and I get 56 mpg. I expect to see the super scooter to grow in popularity here in the USA. (read more)

I put about 7000 miles on my Honda Silverwing a year. I love the machines versatility. It just does everything well & is a gret commuter & errand runner. The machine is very reliable. It fires up with one push of the starter even after sitting all winter long every year. I believe it is the standard that all scooters are measured by. I would like to see it offered in more colors & with more options. Bergman offers much more optional trim & goodies like headed hand grips & hand shield to name... (read more)

Overall a scooter with bike like performance. Over heavy - hence larger engine. Benefits from twin cylinders. Good performance. Comfortable to 2-3 hours at time - and at times longer. Good storage. Short windshield not a big problem - and I'm 6'0" with short legs! (read more)

Tommyguns's Response to playthrough's Review

I love my silverwing scooter it can go 120 mph, not that I would want to or need to go that fast.I am the type that likes to ride all day long and my silverwing is comfortable hour after hour. I am a machinist and I know quality when I see it. And have no problems with any of the 3 Hondas I have had. They are much more dependable than any other bike I have ever had.
