General description and details:Very clean, looks and rides great! 10,660 Original Mileage. Metallic Deep Burgundy and chrome finish. 497cc Liquid cooled engine with shaft final drive; 5 speed transmission; Air adjustable front fork suspension; mono-shock ProLink air-suspension at rear; Locking ignition/steering, helmet locks, gas tank lock, saddlebag locks (all keyed alike); custom chrome engine guard with attached xenon fog/driving lights; passenger padded backrest; factory color matched hard saddlebags with lockable quick attach/detach function; detachable stainless coin holder; brand new battery. General Condition:The condition is: Very good - Excellent for a 1982 (35 year old) bike; there are a few scuffs and scratches on the saddle bags and engine guard, The engine is basically an aluminum block and serves as an integral part of the bikes mail framing as well as the center of weight and gravity which balances the bike very well, considering the bike weighs in at 540 lbs, making it a great bike for the highway, very stable and perfect for long cruising. Frequently Asked Questions:Are There Any Mechanical Issues:No mechanical issues I can tell; the engine runs, starts up immediate when cold with the choke applied, etc. You may wish to have the carbs serviced and re-tuned to your liking. Brand new battery installed with zero miles ridden with it. Am I the Original Owner? I purchased the bike used back in 2004, it had about 6,000 original miles, garage kept and well maintained. The title prefix is 4, I'm assuming that means I'm technically the fourth owner...again hard to believe its passed 4 hands with such minimal mileage.Why Am I Selling it?I haven't been riding lately, just periodic servicing and maintenance. Even when I was riding more frequently, I only used it on short trips and yearly police assisted Charity runs, etc. I figure the bike could use a good home and it can benefit someone else who plans on riding it regularly, or who's looking for a great vintage Honda bike which has features and technology way ahead if its time.In summary:When Introduced back in 1982 The GL500 Silverwing was designed as a Touring bike, a lighter-weight answer to Honda's Larger and heavier GL1100 Gold Wing Touring bike. Now a collectors' item, hard to find with such low original mileage. Must see to appreciate!
