This bike has impressive acceleration. The CVT transmission is smooth and responsive.

I am 6' 4" tall. I tried many cruisers and touring bikes, but my knees were always up in the handlebars. This bike fits me well and sits comfortably.

I like having the built in storage under the seat. I added a top box and have lots of room for gear or purchases.

Faults:

Safety recall for rear wheel, steering stem, and center stand.

An amazingly competent cycle. The Silver Wing has the styling of a scooter, but the competence of a great middle weight tourer. Handling is capable and predictable, with good braking and a sprightly acceleration.

Currently, I have two other cycles; one smaller and one larger in displacement than the Silver Wing, and find myself drawn to the Silver Wing for my ride of choice. I had owned a BMW K75RT that was an excellent middleweight tourer. The Silver Wing compares very favorably. As much comfort, and almost as many amenities; the miles roll by very easily.

If I were to choose one complaint, it would be the height of the factory windscreen. After purchasing a screen that is four inches taller, I find all helmet buffeting eliminated, and wind noise greatly reduced.

Although pricey, the Silver Wing has proved its worth.

Faults:

Nothing has gone wrong with the Silverwing in the 7.5 years that I have had it.

The Honda Silverwing FSC 600 is an excellent motorcycle, offering an irresistible combination of performance, economy, comfort and pride of ownership.

This is a terrific vehicle for one's daily commute in fair weather, and with a trunk added as an accessory, will give you enough storage for a weekend trip.

The Silverwing's long wheelbase makes her a joy to ride on the highway, where her 48 BHP engine allows it to coast along at 70MPH, with plenty of power in reserve if necessary.

The speedometer is somewhat optimistic, however several 'Wing owners with Garmin GPS systems have reported a top speed of 104 mph - that is when the road is actually long enough to get the Silverwing up to that speed.
