Ok so I went to Macon Saturday to look at a 81 Interstate and was very disappointed in it's state of shabby flaking rustedness , took my money and ran back to the seller of my new 81 GL 500 !!! 9,3330 miles!!! Paid him $900.00 bucks and rode it towards my house ,,, but before I got there I had a rear flat tire!!!!, Luckily Elaine was following me ,, I sent her to get a big can of fix-a-flat ( till I can order a new tire ) and filled it and rode home , later I went to "Walmarts" for a few things and really missed all the storage room of a good Goldwing for sure! I really enjoyed the little bike , very light , handles very nicely,it has power all right , you just have to remember its higher up in the rev range but this little motor doesn't mind revving hard , I bet it is almost as fast as a wing in a quarter mile run. I will get some pictures up later , it is the maroon color so ,,,,,maybe Redwing is right about Red being the fastest color!!

You wil enjoy the Silverwing! I have one along with the Goldwing. Both are 82. The Silverwing is silver. 14,000 + miles when I bought it. now over 16,000 . I have thought about selling the Goldwing and buying another Silverwing. But i know i wont. Enjoy it! They are a classic and I get a lot of commits when i ride her. Oh, she is a Silverwing GL500I Bought her in Knoxville December of 08.payed 1500 for her and worth every penny!

NICE, there are a lot of times I wish I had something less bulky than the wing. Something I could take out for shorter rides, feel the wind in my face and just have fun on.

That silver bike is actually two CBX motors sharing a crank - so it's a V-12. It exists down here in San Diego. Very purrrrty piece of garage-art.
