“I hate the Honda Silverwing, it's uncomfortable as...”
☆☆☆☆☆
written by on 23/03/2009
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 rather have a Big Ruckus any day of the week . I've owned both and I'll never own another Silverwing , unless I can get one for maybe $1,000 and even then it would have to be in mint condition . Buy yourself a low mileage Honda Big Ruckus for around $3,800 and you will be MUCH happier .

“I am sorry I bought this bike, it was too much money...”

written by DWO on 31/07/2008
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.

I found this review not helpful because...What do you base the 60,000 mile engine life on. i have seen SilverWings with 90,000 to over 100,000 miles still running well. Talked to the owners about problems all had nothing more then change tires and brakes one had a clutch.

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).
