구매자가 알아야 할 사항
Unique Parallel Twin
The GL500 features a 497cc parallel twin with shaft drive, making it nearly maintenance-free on the drivetrain side. This setup eliminates chain adjustments and significantly reduces long-term ownership costs.
Watch the Carburetors
The dual CV carburetors are notorious for gumming up from ethanol-blended fuel, especially on bikes that sat unused. Always inspect or budget for a carb rebuild before buying.
Affordable Collector Gem
GL500s remain undervalued compared to their larger GL1100 siblings, often selling between $1,500–$3,500 in good condition. Clean, low-mileage examples are slowly appreciating as vintage Honda interest grows.

"중간 수준의 성능으로 인해 실망스러운 영리한 투어링 컨셉."
GL500 자전거는 거의 완벽에 가까운 자전거입니다. 샤프트 구동은 매끄럽고, 페어링은 고속도로 속도에서 바람을 막아주며, 액체 냉각식 푸시로드 V-트윈은 0.5리터 분쇄기치고는 놀라운 특성을 지니고 있습니다.하지만 50마리의 말이 232킬로그램을 운반할 수 있다는 것은 고속도로 경사면에서는 항상 기어박스를 더 열심히 작동시킬 수 있다는 것을 의미하며, 8,000rpm의 토크 피크는 투어러로 판매되는 자전거에 맞지 않게 느껴집니다.덴버에서 앨버커키까지 한 대를 타고 갔는데 편안하게 도착했지만 약간 좌절감을 느꼈습니다. 통합된 수하물과 낮은 좌석 높이 때문에 실용적이었지만 준결승을 통과하려면 진정한 헌신이 필요했습니다.워터 펌프에서 누출되는 냉각수는 시한폭탄으로 알려져 있는데, 주요 도시 밖에서 가로 방향 V-트윈 배치를 이해하는 정비사를 찾는 것은 정말 스트레스가 됩니다.

중고 구매자 리뷰
"A rewarding vintage tourer for patient, mechanically-sympathetic riders only."
$1,500-$4,500 usedThe GL500 Silverwing is one of Honda's most underrated early-eighties tourers, and honestly, a hidden gem if you find a clean one. The parallel twin with its 180-degree crank is genuinely smooth, and that semi-integrated fairing still cuts wind decently. It's a real touring bike in a compact package — something the 650 version gets all the praise for, but the 500 punches respectably enough for two-up weekend runs. Here's where you need to be honest with yourself though. These bikes are pushing 40 years old, and parts availability is getting brutal. The CX/GL community is passionate but small. Carbs need a full rebuild almost universally on any neglected example, and the shaft drive, while low-maintenance, hides its wear until it really doesn't. Budget for a proper mechanical inspection and expect surprises. If you find one with documented maintenance, original plastics intact, and under 30,000 miles, grab it. They're genuinely fun, characterful machines that turn heads at vintage rallies. Just go in eyes open.
