DanOh Posted February 18, 2012 Share #1 Posted February 18, 2012 Tomorrow is the wife's B-day. It made it up to the high 40's today so it was a good day to head north 100 miles into PA to buy her present. I rode it home. It sure is a lot more fun to ride than I thought it would be. Purely for research purposes, I took up to 100 on the highway just to make sure everything was ok. Never imagined scooters with that much get up and go, and it is a very comfortable ride. Anyone else have experience with Honda Silver Wings? So far I'm very impressed.

GaryZ Posted February 18, 2012 Share #3 Posted February 18, 2012 What kinda gas mileage did ya get @ 100mph? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanOh Posted February 18, 2012 Author Share #4 Posted February 18, 2012 What kinda gas mileage did ya get @ 100mph? No idea, I was only at that speed for a minute. That was way outside my comfort zone. My guess is that it wouldn't be very good. Cruised most of the way at about 70 (65 is the limit). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brenda H Posted February 19, 2012 Share #5 Posted February 19, 2012 A friend of mine uses his SW as a daily rider. 45k miles and counting. I highly reccomend a Givi WindScreen and Top Case for the SW. Greg has those on his and we both had them on our old Aprilia Atlantics [that's how we met], 500cc maxi scooters. It makes riding so much easier as well as increases your storage on the bike. I rode my Atlantic from where I live just outside Houston up to my mum's in Central Illinois and back with no problems. That trip was 2k+ miles and I had no trouble keeping up with the lunatics on the interstate. I actually miss it. If they were still available in country [Atlantics were pulled from the US market in '05], I would have replaced that one with another just like it. Maxi scooters are definitely a case of "Don't knock it until you've tried it!!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dacheedah Posted February 19, 2012 Share #6 Posted February 19, 2012 somebody painted the silver wing red . . . dats like false advertising. Like a blue gold wing, at least our venture is an honest bike. . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squidley Posted February 19, 2012 Share #7 Posted February 19, 2012 Dan, I know a guy down here in Texas that tours the country on one of them. They are a great machine and I was very surprised when I was on one of my RSV's with the cruise set at about 75mph and one of them passed me. Me thinks she's gonna love that scooter...you might too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StarFan Posted February 19, 2012 Share #8 Posted February 19, 2012 Congratulations Dan. These things are so much fun to ride. Had the oppurtunity to ride one in Spain some years ago and this is no shy machine. Had a great ride and would really like to have one. Ride safely, Jonas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rod Posted February 19, 2012 Share #9 Posted February 19, 2012 Those things are great. A Honda mechanic friend of mine bought one for his wife, it is a ton of fun and will keep up with the bikes no problem. I would love to have one to run errands on because of the storage.
