Engineered by Honda for the scooter motorcycle segment, the 2011 Honda Silver Wing ABS pairs a 582 cc (35.5 cu in) liquid-cooled twin, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 72.0 x 71.5 mm (2.8 x 2.8 inches) with a 10.2:1 compression ratio.
On the scales, the Silver Wing ABS measures 244.9 kg (540 lbs) wet (curb). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 754 mm (29.7 in) seat height — giving shorter riders and urban commuters confident flat-foot reach at traffic stops, combined with a 1,595 mm (62.8 in) wheelbase engineered for planted straight-line stability. The 15.9-liter (4.2 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 5.11 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 311 km (193 miles) between fill-ups.
