The seller offers for sale this 1985 Honda GL650 Silver Wing, powered by a 668 cc V-twin engine. This example is presented as a complete and fully preserved Silver Wing according to the seller, showing 64,500 km on the odometer. It comes with practical touring extras in the form of a magnetic tank bag and a fitted luggage rack, making it a usable classic tourer as well as a characterful eighties Honda. The bodywork and paintwork are in good condition, with the seller noting that some standard repairs and possible part replacements may be required, while the machine as a whole shows the honest wear of a motorcycle of this age. It is offered in overall fair condition and drives, brakes and shifts gears, presenting an appealing opportunity for the enthusiast looking for an increasingly scarce mid-size Honda tourer with period-correct equipment.
The GL650 Silver Wing represents a distinctive chapter in Honda’s touring history. Derived from the innovative CX series, it carried Honda’s unusual liquid-cooled, longitudinally mounted 80-degree V-twin, paired with low-maintenance shaft drive, a combination that set it apart from virtually everything else in its class. Introduced as the successor to the GL500, the Silver Wing was conceived as a lighter, more manageable alternative to the full-size Gold Wing, offering genuine touring comfort in a mid-size package. Its smooth and torquey twin, relaxed ergonomics and practical fairing and luggage options earned it a loyal following among riders who valued reliability and long-distance ability. Today, well-kept examples are increasingly sought after by collectors and enthusiasts who appreciate the model’s unconventional engineering, its everyday usability and its place in Honda’s celebrated touring lineage.
