Honda Silverwing description

I'm selling my very fast, powerful, and smooth bike because I have not been riding it this year and I am not using it enough for me to justify continuing to keep it.
I have owned it for the last 3 years and other than the first month or so, it has been stored in my garage when not in use. Yesterday, I gave it a thorough two pass hand washing 
and waxing and recharged the battery and replaced the HONDA decal/emblem on the drive belt cover. The bike now starts immediately and very easily. I also just rode it through 
my neighborhood to make sure that it was all working OK. I also tightened down the windshield bolts and cleaned the windshield. This bike has one of the most popular aftermarket
windshields - a clearview windshield. Since it is very large, it is very good at keeping the wind away from the rider. Also, the bike features a large and very popular GIVI cargo carrier 
on the back of the bike. It is big enough to hold two full size helmets. There is also storage space under the seat. The powerful engine has fuel-injection, liquid cooling, and two cylinders 
(balanced with counterweights) to make alot of very smooth power. MPG is approximately 48 to 50 using regular unleaded gasoline. The gas tank holds 4.23 gallons. 
The bike also includes anti-lock (ABS) combined braking (FSC600A model) and requires no shifting  since it has a v-belt drive CVT type of transmission. According to information on the internet, 
its top speed is about 110 MPH. One reason that I chose a RED model (with a cargo carrier) was that it is much more visible to other motorists than the silver model and/or without a cargo carrier. 
Being painted RED and as visible as possible was very important to me from a safety standpoint. The tires are both Bridgestone brand tires. The front tire has about 1/8" tread depth and the rear tire 
has about 3/16" tread depth and they are both in good condition. The owner's manual and two sets of keys are also included in the sale.

Dakar Begins This Sunday!

Thu, 02 Jan 2014

Dakar is an international, bad-ass, multi-day off-road event and if you’re not a fan you should be. Crossing the borders of Argentina, Bolivia and Chile the route takes motorcycle and ATV competitors through more than 5400 miles of extreme riding conditions. Competing cars and trucks go even farther.

San Carlo Gresini To Field CRT Entry with Honda CBR1000RR Engine

Tue, 15 Nov 2011

The San Carlo Gresini race team announced it will compete in the 2012 MotoGP World Championship as a Claiming Rules Team with a Honda CBR1000RR engine in an FTR prototype chassis. The move is a late, but unfortunately necessary change from the team’s original plan to run the factory-level Honda RC213V racebike. The late Marco Simoncelli was tabbed to ride the newest version of Honda’s MotoGP machine next season, but after his tragic death, Gresini had to find another option if it wanted to continue racing.

Schwantz and Mackenzie on the Nurburgring box

Mon, 10 Dec 2012

A 500GP bike never fails to stop me in my tracks and that’s exactly what happened when I spotted this Schwantz example from the early nineties, proudly displayed on the Arai stand at the recent Motorcyclelive show.  On loan from Crescent Suzuki and accompanied by a rostrum publicity shot from the 1990 German GP at the Nurburgring, I felt the urge to write a few words on that special weekend. I started the year running my own 250 GP team with fairly standard TZ Yamahas but was drafted in as Kevin Schwantz’s team mate after Kevin Magee suffered a serious head injury at the second Grand Prix in Laguna Seca.  With no testing and some major Spanish food poisoning I finished 8th at the next round in Jerez then followed that up with a 5th place in Misano. Next up was the Nurburgring and after qualifying on the second row of the grid, my crew chief Geoff Crust informed me he had a premonition of a race day rostrum finish. He also told me I better make it come true as he was already looking forward to a few post race celebratory refreshments. While I hoped Crusty was the new mystic meg, the truth was I would have been more than happy to buy the beers if I made it to the flag inside the top five. I had an outside chance of catching one major scalp as Wayne Rainey was riding with a nasty hand injury but I suspected adrenalin would see him through the day. I also followed Mick Doohan a fair bit in practice but he was beginning to find his feet on the Rothmans Honda so was going to be another problem.  When the lights went out Schwantz and Rainey went straight to the front I while I hung in behind Doohan and Pier Francesco Chilli, and then it happened. Coming out of the bottom right hand hairpin, Doohan and Chilli simultaneously high sided in one of the most spectacular crashes of the season. I never liked seeing any fellow riders crash but I made the most of this early race gift and rode my 160bhp/115kg RGV hard to the flag, claiming my first podium of the season.  We partied hard (win or lose we always did) that night and I went on to have my best ever season finishing fourth overall in the championship. After the last round in Australia, I finished second to Kevin at Sugo in Japan then won in Malaysia at another international race that KS didn’t attend. I also tested at Eastern Creek for the following season but then was flicked from the team for reasons that still remain a mystery. Hey Ho!
