Picked up a nice little GL500I Silverwing last year with 19k miles replaced the stator & R/R new windscreen upgraded to LED lights and it runs and rides perfect. Total investment less than 2400 and I’ve got a great very reliable bike that I enjoy more than any bike I’ve ever owned.

[@briansaucier2774]

Love the silverwing. I put 160, 000 km. on a 1979 GL500, had 0 problems with regular services. A great little bike, handled 160 kmh easily.

[@keithfreeman5204]

HAd a 500 just like the one shown. Drove it back and for to college for 3 years in all weather. Changed tires put gas and oil in it and that's about it. My 500 ran like a watch.

[@martinhauk1852]

I've had about a dozen Silverwings over the years. The last one I sold was a GL650I that I bought with 11,000 miles and sold it with 106,000 miles on the clock. IMHO it's the best bike Honda ever made. I'd still be riding it but for the parts scarcity. I do a lot of long road trips and the last thing I need is to have a unique part fail in No Hope ND. It would cost more than the bike is worth to retrieve it. I've switched to the closest thing I could find to the Silverwing. Moto Guzzi. Transverse V twin, shaft drive, 5 speed transmission, and detachable bags. One word of advise. If you get it up to 35,000 - 40,000 miles, I'd look very seriously at a new cam chain. They're not available from Honda, but you can get them aftermarket.

[@bryanholmen6901]

My first and favourite bike! It was a sad day when I finally had to say goodbye to it.

[@ronmason1710]

This is pretty well an exact match for my wife’s first motorcycle. We didn’t load it up with all the chrome, but had the full Type 2 radio, with CB, so she could talk to us on our Gold Wing Aspencades, one really cool feature is that from the factory, the seat was in two pieces, and if you wanted too, you could remove the back half and then move the trunk up in its place. This created both a backrest and brought the weight closer to the center of the bike. As a solo rider of Gold Wings since 1975, I always thought that Honda had a great opportunity to do the same thing to the Wing. It would shed weight and give the rider a great backrest. In her first year she rode it from Calgary to San Diego and back in our two week vacation window. Shaft drive, water cooled, it was a great light weight touring bike.

[@1loud94]

Its all your fault. I been watching you all for 2 years and now I bought my first bike. 1982 silverwing standard with 18000 miles for 500 dollars with title. I been riding it now 2 weeks and love it. Now I want an f6c valkyrie! Its an addiction and I blame you! Lol thank you for motivating me I needed this!!😎

500 $ ??? Here in germany you must pay 1300 € - 2700 €

first bike as of today at 17! got it for 700 bucks and already rebuilt the carbs and got it running after it sat for five years

[@tashan6969]

I dont have a Silverwing,,, BUT,, I DO have a 82 GL1100 Goldwing Interstate and a 83 GL1100 Goldwing Aspencade ( the Interstates big brother)... Both bikes are solid and a dream to ride !!!

[@jimstenlund6017]

I think it would be cool to have both a Silver and Gold ‘Wing.

[@NefariousTribe]

Great bike! My first bike was a 1980 CX500, same engine just the standard version of that bike. Thousands of trouble free miles, will make a great bike for someone.

[@markharrison5712]

Just put 81 back on the road for a buddy . Great bike's .

[@reelreeler8778]

Great bike, only thing to keep in mind is that it was designed for a day when the national speed limit was 55mph, not that it can't go faster, but 55-60 is this bikes sweet spot......wish they still put center stands on bikes.

[@awuma]

It passes semis on the Interstate at 80 mph with ease, these bikes are designed hor high revs.

[@jimstenlund6017]

The next one, the GL650 was geared more for speed.

[@MarkPalmer1000]

Had a CX500D for a long time. Nice bike for the back roads, but it was annoyingly buzzy for me on the interstate running about 6000 RPM at 70. It would hold up, if you could bear to listen to it.

This was the first bike I bought. I got it in 1998 and I was 25 years old and everyone called it the purple rain (Prince) I had some good times on it but I was to young for that style bike. I gave it to my dad and I bought a 1989 Cbr 600, Big difference.

[@lenniecapuano521]

i bought a 1982 model in 1984 what a fantastic bike they went on 4 ever

[@xxheartbrokexx100]

This is my first bike at age 21 I love it!!!!

[@domfer2540]

Great bike. Just a note, the light bar is an add on. The exhaust is after market. The passenger seat comes off and the truck moves for driver back rest.

[@awuma]

Yes, but the back seat is excellent for a large backpack to be bungied on, and that provides a more adjustable backrest :-) There are numerous attachment points for bungies, so the bike can carry a formidable load (e.g. a week's groceries from the supermarket).

[@zzmikey]

The trunk carries a 12 pack of beer or a large Chinese dinner😎

[@paullane9781]

Chinese eat dogs and cats.

[@codelicious6590]

One of my favorite Honda engines. These look so badass stripped down.

[@awuma]

Seems like a common obsession... To me, the regular bike is really beautiful, saddens me to see all the Interstate goodness removed. As a student, I had a 1956 Triumph Tiger 100 with rack and saddle bags... so I'm forever attracted to bikes with a balanced look including a functional rear end.

[@hansdegebruiker1968]

this was my first bike at the age of 18

[@Nate-ti7ne]

Is it decent for learning how to ride?

[@hansdegebruiker1968]

@@Nate-ti7ne yes its a wonderful bike to learn.

[@awuma]

@@Nate-ti7ne It was my "return to biking" mount, after nearly forty years. Very easy to handle, but it is quite top-heavy and no lightweight, just something to remember. It's a fully-dressed standard, not a sportbike, cruiser or cross-country bike, so very comfortable. The somewhat high handlebar position is also very comfortable. Superb seats.

[@MXLVII]

My first bike at 19, we will learn the same haha

[@hansdegebruiker1968]

@@MXLVII I wish you many happy motoryears I'm 54 now I had several bikes in my life. the last one is a KTM Superduke 1290R.

[@awuma]

I had one just like this for eight years, though it has been fancied up a bit, especially with all the tubing and chromework in the rear end (the mufflers are not original). It is a fantastic "light" touring bike, don't let the 500cc fool you, it has all the power needed to take on semis on the freeway. The 1983 650cc version is even better (I have one now). Oh, that radio case is a pain to open, hence the value of the remote on this bike ;-)

[@JohnSmith-sm6oy]

I want one now it s so but so cool😊😊😊

[@gregorytimmons4777]

I bought a CX500 that color with about 28,000 miles in 1993 for $375. Inside of the first 7 days the water pump impeller spun on the stripped spline. That is the coolant pump shaft spun stripping the corresponding hole in the center of the impeller. Cost me the engine the first week I had it. $375.00, exactly what I'd paid for the bike got me an engine from a cycle salvage and I swapped engines over a weekend. Good bike after that. In fact I don't recall a single issue over the next 3 year's I owned it. Not sure about the 'Wing variant but my CX500 was essentially 1 to 1 in 5th gear. Which means the speedo and tach were simpatico in 5th so travel on the interstate did not find the engine knocking back the miles at a somewhat less than a relaxed gait.

[@awuma]

Yes, the 1-1 in 5th came in handy when the speedo cable failed ;-)

[@andypetrovich2155]

I have the same bike in the barn. Great little machine.

[@kc97chief]

Bought one brand new like this in the spring of 1983 as a left over for 2200.00

[@BubbaChevy]

Im obsessed with that motorcycle

[@johndoogan3712]

That's a lovely bike, their can't be many left now. The CX 500 engine's a reliable motor but attention must be given to the cam chain at the first sign of noise as continued wear will see it wearing away the portion of the main oil gallery on the rear crankcase casting.

[@awuma]

There's actually quite a few floating about.

[@jimstenlund6017]

At about how many miles do you think this problem might occur?

[@johndoogan3712]

Hi, this tends to occur at high mileages. I wouldn't have expected this issue to occur on this bike yet. A workshop I once worked at mainly worked on courier bikes in the 1980's/1990's. These bikes certainly clocked up very high mirages with couriers clocking up mileages in excess of 1,000 miles per week with the resulting maintenance scadule condensed into a short timescale. Some of these bikes easily clocked up 80 to 100,000 miles during their service lives. We told their owners to have their cam chains replaced at the first signs of noise.

[@steve-ip1cd]

Nice bike man!

[@Swivelsonwheels]

[@wvrebel76]

Thats a nice old bike.

[@nicholaskennedy4310]

Looks like it spent its life close to the coast, a fair amount of oxidation on the metal parts That said about 3-4 hours with some chrome polish and wax and elbow grease that thing would detail out real nice!

[@nicholaskennedy4310]

Also like the ProLink rear suspension!
