Honda Other description

I'm selling my 2005 Honda Silverwing because I am taking up a job overseas for the next few years. It has been good to me, but I can't take it with me, so it's time to part ways.


It's an automatic / CVT. It's a touring model with very wide, comfortable seats (including the passenger seat). There are multiple positions a rider can place his/her feet in, given the length of the runner boards / foot rest areas on both sides. I've ridden it 6-8 hours in a day, multiple times, and can say I've never gotten "iron butt".


The bike gets between 50-55mpg when driving between 55-60mph on the interstate. City mileage is around 45mph (but will drop to 40 if you hot-rod it). Uses 87 octane unleaded gas. I've tried to avoid using ethanol mix whenever possible.


I've also installed and recently cleaned a high-flow K&N air filter. I'll throw in the K&N filter cleaning / "recharge" kit for free. This has improved the mileage as well as given it a better response on the throttle.


The bike was laid down a few years ago when some jack@$$ stopped in front of me and I had to bail to avoid hitting him. The bike didn't roll, flip, etc. It just laid down and played dead. I've attached photos which clearly show the cuts, scrapes, and bruises. They would include: scratched muffler, cracked rear left panel, scratched plastic on the back of the mirrors, as well as white scrapes/scratches on both sides / edges of the frame. The bike still looks great when I wash, polish, Rain-X, and Armor-All it. I still get compliments about how nice it looks. With that said, I've reduced the asking price to reflect the cosmetic damage.


It's due for an oil change, tire change, and possibly a belt change. I actually have new tires ($200), belt ($100), oil (Royal Purple -- $50+), brake pads AND discs, all waiting to be put on the bike. I just didn't get around to it in the last few months and now it's time to ship out, so I don't see the point of doing it myself. Buy the bike and I'll throw in all of these parts. Slap all of this on and you'll have a new bike good for a good many years before needing to do anything other than changing the oil.


I don't do shipping. Local pick-up in Prairieville or we arrange to meet somewhere on I-10 (Tanger Outlet Mall; Mall of Louisiana on Bluebonnet, or some place close).

Honda Tuner Mugen Motorsports to Enter 2012 TT Zero Electric Race at Isle of Man

Thu, 16 Feb 2012

Engine tuning company Mugen Motorsports announced it will compete in the TT Zero electric motorcycle race at the 2012 Isle of Man TT. Though not officially a Honda company,Mugen was founded by Hirotoshi Honda, son of Honda founder Soichiro Honda, and the company is best known for its work as an engine tuner and parts maker for Honda vehicles. The Mugen entry to the TT Zero represents possibly the closest connection so far between a traditional motorcycle OEM and the relatively new realm of electric motorcycle racing.

Honda VFR1200F – First Impressions

Fri, 23 Oct 2009

Honda’s new VFR1200F in action at Sugo in Japan. UPDATE: 2010 Honda VFR1200F Review -  First Ride Article I’m here at the Sugo Sportsland racetrack in Japan, an odd place for what seems to be a sport-touring machine like the new VFR1200F. But my time at Sugo today was one of the most incredible riding experiences of my career.

2012 Honda Fireblade and NC700X launch

Mon, 21 Nov 2011

I'm chucking a few essential items into my massive stuffa bag, ready to go to Portimao tomorrow for the International launch of not just the Honda NC700X but also the new Fireblade, too. You couldn't fathom two bikes at further ends of the scale. One all about performance and speed, the other about user-friendliness and thrift.
