Honda Silver Wing 400
The Honda Silver Wing 400 has a top speed of Approximately 155 km/h, produces 29 hp and weighs 238 kg. Motoryk rates it 7.5/10.
Le Honda Silver Wing 400 (NF01) a été introduit au Japon en 2001 en tant que maxi-scooter de grande cylindrée, partageant sa plate-forme avec le Silver Wing de 600 cm3 vendu sur les marchés occidentaux. Il s'est distingué par le fait qu'il a été l'un des premiers maxi-scooters à proposer un système ABS en option et qu'il était équipé d'un moteur à deux cylindres en parallèle dans un format de scooter à passage direct, ce qui le rendait populaire pour les déplacements urbains et les tournées au Japon, où le 400 cm3 était une classe de licence courante.

Ce que les acheteurs doivent savoir
Bulletproof Honda Engine
The Silver Wing 400 uses a proven parallel-twin engine known for exceptional longevity, often surpassing 80,000–100,000 km with basic maintenance. It's considered one of the most reliable maxi-scooters ever built.
Watch the Final Drive
Common issues to inspect include the shaft final drive for oil leaks and the CVT belt for wear, especially on higher-mileage units. Regular CVT roller and belt replacements are critical and often neglected by previous owners.
Strong Resale Value
The Silver Wing 400 holds its value exceptionally well due to its cult following and Honda's reputation for durability. Low-production numbers in some markets make clean examples increasingly desirable and harder to find.

"Le maxi-scooter sensé qui gagne vraiment sa vie."
J'ai parcouru près de 22 000 km sur un Silver Wing 400 2004, principalement en empruntant les autoroutes de Tokyo et en faisant des courses de fin de semaine dans les montagnes, mais le truc a simplement refusé de me donner une raison de le détester. La transmission à variation continue fonctionne en douceur dès l'arrêt et le rangement sous le siège a englouti un casque intégral et ma sacoche pour ordinateur portable sans aucune plainte, un véritable avantage pour un usage quotidien que la plupart des vélos ne peuvent pas toucher. Cela dit, avec 29 ch et 218 kg, les dépassements sur autoroute nécessitent de la planification, et non une impulsion ; au-delà de 130 km/h, le tremblement du carénage devient fatigant et le moteur fonctionne clairement d'arrache-pied. La selle basse de 690 mm a permis aux conducteurs de petite taille de se frayer un chemin en toute confiance, mais le poids vous mord immédiatement si vous vous trompez lors d'un demi-tour à basse vitesse sur une cambrure.

Évaluation d'un acheteur d'occasion
"Sensible, underrated urban tourer that rewards practical riders over posers."
$2,500-$5,500 usedThe Silver Wing 400 sits in a weird middle ground that actually works brilliantly in practice. It's essentially a maxi-scooter wearing motorcycle clothing, and that's not an insult. The parallel-twin delivers genuinely usable highway performance — you're not white-knuckling it at 70mph like you would on smaller scooters. Chassis feels planted, weather protection is decent, and that underseat storage swallows two full-face helmets without drama. Buying used, check the final drive belt obsessively — Honda specifies replacement intervals that many owners quietly ignore. The automatic transmission is smooth but the CVT variators wear and replacement isn't cheap. Fork seals go soft around 30,000 miles and owners rarely bother until they're weeping badly. Ask for service records and budget $400-600 for neglected maintenance regardless. The fuel injection on later models is far more tractable than the carbureted early bikes, so prioritize 2006-onwards if you can.
