Just joined and having a good look around. My wife and I are just getting back into riding after a 18 year absence. Our first bike is a 82 Silverwing

The next one looks like it will be a 83 650 Silverwing Interstate. I will post a pic if I get it tomorrow.

blues2cruise, Thanks the bike is in nice shape, but has a few paint chips, a cracked signal light etc, and has 18000 K's. A lady owned it and she only road a bit while the kids were small, now that they are older she went out and got a 750 Shadow.

Just picked up the 1983 GL650 Silverwing. My wife is laying clain to it, but I think I prefer the 500 anyway.

Welcome to the site. That 650 is also in great condition. Once you run it side by side with the 500, you will be surprised at how much more powerful it really is. Too bad Honda never evolved the design because these were excellent bikes.

Congrats on your new bike (or maybe your wifes new bike....).
