Hello all is there anyone that can help me I just recently got a 1981 honda frommy dad and he told me it was a 550 Gold Wing but from what I remember it looks like a CX 500 or a Silver wing, and if it is a Gold Wing is there any Gold Wings with a 550 and is there any without the side and top carriage things. Thanks so much for anyones help

My friend had one in 73 !
Just saw your pic of the bike, they had a naked version of the "Silver Wing" !
there was a CB550 inline.

I do not know if they made them with a 550.Take aLook on ebay under Silverwing,,,there are both the GL and interstates for sale right now....seeing for yourself might be best....they are the same bike with and without the fairing ect.

I would guess it would be better in the city and some traveling, just depends on you, after you ride it a while you will know how far you want to go.. with one person it should do ok.a long trip with 2 riders might be pushing it. lots of people have gone many many miles on smaller bikes than 550s.I would say, get it running and see how you feel about it..
