Enter the Silverwing, a 500c V-Twin powered, shaft driven fully dressed touring motorcycle. It weighed less, used less gas, could travel long distances with a shorter wheelbase and was lightweight enough to handle most city riding comfortably. It even came with color keyed panniers. The catch? With a 500cc engine you would be hard pressed to carry a passenger while maintaining high speeds and up long climbs. Touring stability and parking agility. This is the story of the little touring bike that could: the Honda Silverwing.
