    CX 500

    I'd love to see one in the flesh. The CX was a bullet-proof machine in its day. A Silverwing was a tarted garden variety, trading on the tails of the flagship Goldwing.

    It's advertised as a Goldwing, but is in fact a Silverwing. The Goldwing of the day was a flat four 1100.

    I rode a silverwing around the states for 3 months back in 07. Great bike. Mine only had 10,000 miles from new too. Sold it for a pittance when I came home.

    Here's a pic (without panniers)

    Both the Ebay and picture above are GL Not CX, the ebay is an early one so same motor.

    the second picture is a GL, ether a 500 or 650, since i shares the casings with the 650 even though it may be a 500.

    but the real telling point is they are mono shock

    CX500 would have to be my favorite bike that I have owned. Unfortunately mine was a dud, the local bike shop told me to get rid of it asap when he found I had bought it. It was a lemon since new Didn't listen to him and after a rebuild wore a big end out on a Tassie tour.
    I have what i think is a silverwing fairing hanging in my shed if anyone wants one. A mates project that was going in the bin but I couldn't let it be scrapped when I had room to store it.

    The second picture (ie my bike ) was a 500, not a 650. It really didn't keep up with modern American traffic on my trip as it struggled above 70mph. Everyone in California seemed to do 70-85mph everywhere The 650 would have been nice.

    That picture is of a road tunnel in Yellowstone. Great riding in that area
