2009 Honda Silver Wing 600…A Powerful, Luxury Motor Scooter
The 2009 Honda Silver Wing 600 has the power, the size and the comfort that has earned it the well-deserved reputation of being sumptuous as a luxury sedan and yet it is a scooter. Then there is the Honda name itself. Consistently improving technology, such as fuel efficiency—we all want that, don’t we?—being a trailblazer in engine and chassis design, and always keeping the rider in mind, makes them a renowned name in the transportation world. To begin with, the Silver Wing is quite aerodynamic, having a wind tunnel developed, full-bodied chassis and superb protective windscreen. These shield the rider and passenger from the elements and reduce wind noise. Its design is very new age, looking more like a motorcycle than a scooter. The padded seats are the ultimate in comfort, offering magnificent lumbar support with its adjustable backrest. The large tires, 14 inches in front and 13 inches in the rear, give plenty of stability and ease when navigating potholes, speed bumps and those less than perfect road conditions that we all have to face.
The impressive Silver Wing has what is called a Combined Braking System, controlling the front brake’s three pistons and the back brake’s two pistons. This works as follows: if you use the front brake, two of the front’s pistons are activated; if you use the rear brake, both rear pistons and the remaining front brake piston is activated; if you only use the rear brake, an in-line delay valve only activates the front piston after a certain amount of pressure is built up in the lines. This system allows for shorter stopping distances and stable, rapid deceleration, with less weight transference. The 2009 Silver Wing has a great heavy-duty, hydraulic suspension for a comfortable ride. Honda does have an optional Anti-lock Braking System available.
Let’s talk about the transmission. Honda’s Silver Wing has a V-Matic transmission. This means that you don’t ever have to shift gears, not even neutral or reverse. All you have to do is start your engine, which has an electric starter and twist the gas. This transmission is designed to give you nice, smooth operation. In addition, this is one powerful scooter with a 600-class, liquid-cooled, DOHC, parallel twin-cylinder engine, with programmed fuel injection. This provides more than enough raw power, whether for use around town or out on the highway. The 4.2 gallon gas tank provides an extended riding range before you need to stop in for a fill-up, which is fantastic when going on a trip. The Silver Wing also has a generous, 55-liter, under-the-seat storage space that easily accommodates two full-face helmets and even has a courtesy light. Honda’s 2009 Silver Wing 600 is a top-of-the-line motor scooter that will take you everywhere you want to go and will do it with the utmost style, sophistication and convenience.
