Honda Gl500 Silverwing
The Honda Gl500 Silverwing has a top speed of 175 km/h, produces 50 hp and weighs 254 kg. Motoryk rates it 7/10.
本田 GL500 Silver Wing 于 1981 年作为一款中型旅行摩托车推出，源自更大的 GL1100 Gold Wing 平台，但旨在提供更便捷和更省油的旅行体验。它采用了独特的基于CX的497cc V-twin发动机，纵向安装，轴传动和全整流罩，使其成为那个时代为数不多的具有此类功能的中档旅行自行车之一。1981 年至 1982 年在北美生产，作为一款极具收藏价值的轻型旅行车，它弥合了标准自行车和全套旅行车之间的差距，至今仍然引人注目。

买家应该知道什么
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.

"巧妙的巡回演出概念因表现不佳而失望。"
GL500 是一款几乎可以正常运行的自行车——轴传动平稳，整流罩在高速公路行驶时实际上可以减风，液冷的推杆 V 型双缸会产生气泡，而且对于半升的磨机来说，其特性令人惊讶。但是，50匹马拖运232公斤的重量意味着你在变速箱中总是比在州际坡道上更努力地工作，而8,000 rpm的峰值扭矩对于作为旅行车销售的自行车来说感觉不对劲。我从丹佛乘了一辆车去了阿尔伯克基，到达时很舒服，但有点沮丧——一体式行李箱和较低的座椅高度使其变得实用，但是要通过半决赛需要真正的承诺。水泵的冷却剂泄漏是众所周知的定时炸弹，要找到一个了解主要城市以外横向V型双缸布局的机械师确实是一件压力很大的事情。

二手买家评论
"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.
