2012 Honda Silverwing ABS Review

Some say that the journey is half the fun. Well, on a Silver Wing, it's all the fun. And whether you're cruising across town or kicking it coast to coast, the sleek, 600-class Silver Wing is the only way to fly.

The Silver Wing® expands the notion of what a scooter can achieve thanks to the unique pairing of a sophisticated liquid-cooled fuel-injected four-stroke 582cc twin-cylinder engine and a fully automatic transmission. That adds up to true street riding credentials along with easy operation, a combination that can take adventuresome riders as far as the open road beckons. In short, the Silver Wing started a riding revolution, one that continues to this day.

The Ultimate Scooter.

This Honda Silver Wing means serious business. And it’s all thanks to a long list of luxury/comfort features, including full-coverage bodywork, a generous windscreen, and a large, comfortable seat with room for two. Plus it’s all powered by a strong, 582cc two-cylinder engine with liquid cooling and fuel injection, making the Silver Wing one heck of a ride.

Even more, the Silver Wing comes packed with a no-hassle V-Matic automatic transmission and our Anti-lock Brakes for extra confidence in unexpected conditions.

Let the long journey begin, with the Honda Silver Wing.

Made for the Weekend Escape

The Silver Wing is not only good looking, it’s also extremely useful. It’s designed with a huge 5.5-liter underseat storage space—enough to easily hold a full-face helmet. Plus the weather resistant seats are lockable, so you can bring your things and keep them secure.

Intelligently Designed

Honda’s Programmed Fuel injection can be found in the Silver Wing. That means you can always count on easy startups - even in colder weather and at higher altitudes - without ever having to mess with a choke. And you get great mileage, allowing you to spend more time enjoying the day and less time filling up.

Stop on the Dot

Every Silver Wing comes with Honda’s Combined Braking System (CBS) to ensure that making a stop on your scooter is drama free. The 2012 Silver Wing also features anti-lock brakes – a huge benefit when things don’t go according to plan.

2012 Honda Silverwing ABS Key Features

Smart gets Stylish.

A scooter that is more than just a neighborhood scooter. The Silver Wing is built for both the long- and short-haul with its full-coverage bodywork and protective windscreen. Its comfortable wide seat and ample, on-board storage make the long way home quite appealing. Add its excellent fuel economy, plus Honda reliability and the Honda Silver Wing is a great plan b, when you want to leave your other vehicle at home.

Honda V-Matic Transmission

With the V-Matic Transmission, riding couldn't be easier. Just start the engine, twist the gas, and go. The V-Matic means no shifting, ever.

The V-Matic is a continuously variable design, so you'll never feel it lurch from one gear to another—you just get smooth power.

Combined Braking System

This innovative system simplifies stopping with confidence. The front and rear brakes are linked in a unique fashion, so when you apply the front brake lever, two of the front three pistons are activated. Apply the rear brake lever and you get the other front brake piston along with the rear. Use both levers together and you get optimal stopping power.

Bodywork and Windscreen

The Silver Wing's wind-tunnel-developed full-coverage bodywork and windscreen not only look good, but they offer a surprising degree of wind and weather protection—something you'll really appreciate on long rides or on cold mornings.

582cc Fuel Injected Engine

The Silver Wing's 582cc parallel-twin engine means it has plenty of power for two-up riding. Because it uses fuel injection, you get no-hassle startups even in cold weather or at high altitudes.

Two-Up Seating

Want to take a passenger along? No problem! The Silver Wing's generous two-up seating capacity means he or she will be riding in the lap of luxury!

Underseat Storage

The Silver Wing offers 55 liters of lockable underseat storage. That's plenty of room for a full-face helmet, or a bag of groceries. It also helps make the Silver Wing super practical for running errands, and makes packing for overnight trips a snap.

Anti-lock Braking System

ABS is simple: it helps you avoid unplanned skids, and helps take the drama out of stopping on less-than-perfect road surfaces. What's amazing is how good it works, and the fact that you can get it on a scooter!
