Media Release Honda Silverwing 600 Gone are the days of associating scooters with being underpowered.
Honda Australia With Honda’s new and highly acclaimed 600cc scooter, the Silver Wing, all previous connotations can be thrown out the window.
The large and powerful Silver Wing expands the ‘scooter’ concept to breathtaking dimensions.
Spacious and impressive in every way, the Silver Wing is designed to take on roads and motorways with majestic ease.
Smooth acceleration is provided by a high-performance fuel-injected DOHC parallel-twin engine that delivers an impressive rush of power with each effortless twist of its throttle.
With sleek, aerodynamic styling and exceptional wind protection and riding comfort, the Silver Wing also makes for a capable touring machine.
One need only ask world record holder Julio Languiller who recently piloted the machine around Australia in 15 days.
The 50 year old Melbourne man successfully completed his 15,000 km journey earlier this year with the assistance of Honda Australia, and noted that the maxi scooter never missed a beat.
“The Honda was amazing throughout the whole journey,” Languiller said.
“The aerodynamics were fantastic and the wind was not an issue. I think the fairings have been designed very well to keep all of nature’s elements at bay.”
“It is a scooter that you could easily use for either getting around the City as well as taking out for the weekend with your partner for a leisurely cruise.”
The Silverwing’s carrying capacity is also top-of-the-line, with a cavernous compartment secreted away under its seat that can hold more than you ever thought you could carry on a scooter.
With confident braking control in virtually all road and riding conditions, and the most satisfying balance of performance and comfort to be found in any scooter on the road today, riders will be thrilled with this new option on the market.
The Silver Wing will be available in Dealers shortly with a recommended retail price of $12,990.
