It has not missed a beat. Both of these service procedures are included in this section of this supplement. However, it was very similar in styling and price range to the 750 Shadow and Honda elected to have only one cruiser bike in that class, thus the reason for its short model life. A closer look turned up other points of departure. Thanks again for the really great story. Although too small for full-fledged touring, the little trunk does hold enough for an overnight trip, and it's great for carrying lunches, papers, small tools and other commuter-related items.
Reliable and runs well One Year Wonder only made in 1983. Original factory fairing, saddle bags and trunk. Located in Water Valley Ms. Fresh oil change, and coolant flush. To ensure reliability with the elevated power output, Honda engineers upgraded almost every engine component in the 650 series. Without a passenger saddle the tootsie-picking-up-possibilities were limited.
They strengthened the big end of the connecting rods, the rod bolts, main bearings, cylinder studs, clutch and transmission, increased both the water- and oil-pump flow rates, and replaced the cam-driven radiator fan with a new electric, thermostatically triggered unit. Comes safetied and ready to ride. The bar reaches back much too far for comfortable riding and bends at an awkward angle; the pegs sit too far forward to offer good support. This bike turned a respectable 14 seconds in the quarter mile at the drag strip, about half a second slower than the 13. Seat can be configured for driver only or two-up riding.
One nice gadget was the knob for adjusting the headlight while on the bike. Related bikes List for comparison of specs. Could use some new tires soon. I already have a bike so selling this decent looking and great running bike. You can sign up for e-mail notifications when other riders answer you. After coming a slight wallow in very bumpy corners.
Our 650 always started readily on chilly mornings, and the choke lever is located up by the instruments for easy access. A new seal on the lid improves water resistance, and the ignition key operates the trunk lock as well as the two helmet locks which fasten the trunk in place. Power is transferred by an enclosed splined with one. It was expertly maintained and in beautiful shape in metallic blue.

Thank you John Noble P. That set the world back on its butt, but the turbocharging craze—which cost all four Japanese companies millions of unrecouped dollars—was not what the touring rider was interested in.
I have a 1982 Silver Wing Interstate. They are modular in set up: they can be a solo seat version with trunk, or remove the trunk and install rear seat for passenger. Despite the fork's compliance, the new rear suspension is much less responsive than last year's; it gives a firm ride even when the shock is charged with minimal air pressure. Everything works as it should, no oil or water leaks, starts on the button with a beautiful sounding tick 4 years ago. However, due to their recent health problems they are moving to Florida. Maybe that is why Honda has refused to bring in its latest midsize touring bike, the Deauville 650, a model that is very popÂular in Europe.
It requires very little maintenance. The tubeless tires were a good sales point. Everything is there, and everything works as it should. The power ran through a five-speed transmission to a shaft final drive, very neat and troublefree. Trouble free shaft drive, watercooled, with original replacement trunk. Sales were lackluster due to the bikes high retail cost and expensive insurance rates. City driving mainly but I have had it on the highway for a few 2-3 hour trips.
Please scrolL down and see. Would enjoy seeing you again at a rally. Factory exhaust is in super condition. When you see a hundred or a thousand Gold Wingers together, more than half of them are running solo, and this Silver Wing was a perfect ride for a solo guy or gal.

Due to the bikes technological uniqueness, many bikes were sold to motorcycle maintenance trade schools for hands on classes. Its frame was the backbone type, using the engine as a stressed member, with a 33mm telescopic fork at the front, a pair of shock absorbers at the back. Not only was the 497 cc water-cooled, but it had per that were operated by rather than the favored by Honda on its previous four-stroke engine designs. While first through fourth gears use the same ratios as the pairings in the 500 Turbo, the gears are not interchangeable. Has brand new tires, runs and rides great. Still has the factor tool kit underneath the seat. Please scrolL down and see.
