Faults:

Nothing other than a drive belt... $109.00 and I installed it myself.

General Comments:

I wish Honda would consider a 900 CC Silver Wing.

Nothing.

General Comments:

Overall excellent. Have had it for 1 year to the day (in Montreal this means 8 months of usage). It follows a series of different bikes over the last 40+ years.

Very good urban vehicle. Use it to commute daily (40 miles return). Low center of gravity. Easy to handle and park. Good acceleration to get out of the way on traffic lights. Exceptional braking. Good rear mirrors visibility. A tad heavy to place on main stand.

Excellent for tourism. Have done multiple 500-mile days. Done Montreal-Tampa, then Montreal-Memphis. Held its own (fully loaded, 2 people, some luggage) in PA with rigs surrounding us at 75-80 mph. Cruising nicely at 60-65 mph. Needs a top case for tourism (I have the Givi V-46).

Average fuel consumption around 47-48 mpg (U.S. gallon). Best ever in FL cruising at 60, loaded, on a 90 degree F. day: 58 mpg (U.S.). Worst ever in PA cruising at 75-80, loaded, on a 35 degree F. day: 30 mpg (U.S.).

Got 12 500 miles on both rear tires and 25 000 on front (could probably have extended another 5 000). Brakes, drive belt and all the rest still original at 25 000 miles. Tune-ups a little expensive 125 $ (recommended every 4 000 miles during warranty). Never had to adjust anything or replenish liquids between tune-ups.

Definitely not a macho machine but it does the job beautifully. One word of caution: be careful not to pass those big low-riders on winding side roads at 65-70 mph. It seems to annoy them.
