Silver Wing Miles (a Poll)

I thought an updatable poll with the amount of miles on your SWing would be fun ... as your miles increase you just update your answer.

I have 25,090 miles now. I just went for a nice ride this afternoon. Thanks for the poll Bill, and how many miles do you have now? I think you would be at the top of the list for this forum.

Almost 36,000 miles.

Wow,

You sure get to ride alot. I wish I could ride more. Must be nice. Good going.

I've got 15,000 plus. But 10,000 have been put on in the last year, since I bought the Swing.

I feel better now that I have seen the results...LOL. This is the most I have ever ridden in a year. In the past I had a few seasons that I rode about 5k. Then last year I did 7k and I just passed 8k for this year. I'm excited that as I get older I'm riding more and more...

Almost embarrassed to post my mileage being so new.

But I figure you probably need a good laugh!!!

Hey Waspie,

That should just give you more incentive to put more miles on it. It is a great bike that can rack up the miles quickly. You will get there really quick !!!

You absolutely correct. My car hasn't seen the light of day for a couple of weeks.

With the wee amount I have covered it seems to eat up the miles, looking forward to each and every mile I ride.

But you ride it every day, Doug - it gets used!

I Just turned over 36,200 miles. It's been a great trouble free bike.

I ride more than I drive my truck. This year has been real low due to a separated shoulder. last year I did about 15000 on scooters and bike, and 2000 in truck. (When I got ready to drive the truck I had to charge the battery hahaha).

This year so far I have 1500 on the silverwing (owned 1 mo.), 2000 on one reflex, and 8000 on the VTX. Truck 1200 so far.

If you previously voted, you can "cancel your vote" and update your mileage with your latest mileage.

Honda:
Thanks for setting up this poll. It is fun to see how much other people get to ride.

Waspie:
When you factor in how little time you have had your bike it would seem like you ride quite a bit every day.

Have fun and be safe.

18,000 but i'm heading West to the Columbia Gorge Rally I should go over 20,000 with-in a month. I'll ride the Northern Rockies out of Boise. Idaho then on to The Columbia River Gorge and Washington Cascades

20k and some change.

I got my Swing at the end of Feb.with 2380.I now have 15985.And I also have 4 other scooters i sometimes ride.I got my car out of the garage in Dec.for my sister to use over the holidays .I have not drove the car in 2 years myself.

It's almost a month time to update 17345.That's 1360 mile this month and a lot of smiles.

I'm at 15,385 (I'm responsbile for a little over 10,000 of the Swing miles). My Trip to Memphis and back this weekend will probably get me to 16K. I also have 27,000+ on a Honda Helix of which I am responsible for all of those miles.

Just under 14,000. Need new tires to start riding again

I bought my 2002 S"Wing used with 14,000 miles on it. Crummy weather in the Midwest keeps me from riding as much as I'd like, but, I'll be riding my Silver Wing for many years (God willing).
Hope to see you on the road.

Bought my 2003 last September with 3800 miles on it. Just passed 10,000 this week.

Well I just tipped the scales on the poll. I'm at 15580 miles as of yesterday. I wonder if I can go all season before replacing the belt. That will mean waiting until about 18000 miles - hopefully.

Gene, Did you update your vote?

Hi Dale,

Yes I did.

Unless you're consintently very aggressive in accelerating from a stop, there is no reason why you can't go 20K or over without replacing the belt.

I replaced my original belt at 22K and it didn't measure any different from the Honda replacement belt.

The wife and I just got back from a 3 day trip up thru Gatlinburgh and Pigeon Forge. It is beautiful country. When we got back yesterday I checked the odometer and am at 31500. Got to call honda and order a belt for the 32k checkup.

66,000 on this one. 128,000 on all 3 total.

Wow, thats good to hear. Thank you, thought i was wearing my Swing out by riding so much, nice to know im still breaking her in. The wife and I purchased the Swing in March of last year, a new 2008, have been riding ever since. Our life has changed dramatically, we now have our list of to do things as " THINGS TO BE DONE WHEN IT IS RAINING", cause we know what we are doing if it's not raining. Thanks again on your info.

Jim and Jodi

One SW I know of is still going with over 135,000 miles.

My 05 has 603 miles on ODE.. I could add another 103 miles he been trailered. But I guess that is for another poll.

My 02 just turned 25000 miles yesterday .

My 08 has 1226

Loving my new 2009 Silverwing. Had 1 mile on it in June and now slightly over 1,000. It is the most fun I've had. Hardly used my car this summer. SWing on!

Time to update I now have 22,148.I have put 19,768 from Feb,to 3 weeks ago.I now have a broken leg so it will be a long time before I can ride again. I had hoped to put 40,000 on it bye next Feb.but it looks like I will not make it now.

The Winged Express is now one year old - 7,200 miles, all for pleasure.

'07 with 21,000

08 that i purchased march of 09 new, now has turned 36k and just keeps on, the wife and i did the dragontail yesterday, a little over 300 miles and enjoyed it all day.

I got my Swing on Sept. 25 2010 with 3700 miles on it. In the first 7 weeks since I got it I put just about 1600 miles on it. We had a really nice fall this year. Most of those miles were done on weekends. Haven't rode in over a week. Maybe Sunday. This is the first bike I have ever ridden except for the small motorcycles I rode in my MSF course and the scooter class I took over the summer. Having a great time.

I bought my '04 SW last June with 5500 miles on it. The PO's wife had gone down on it in gravel and it had been sitting in their garage for a couple years. I put a new rear quarter panel on it and some touch up paint and removed 95% of the scrapes so it looks pretty good now. It's got 7700 miles on it now which amounts to an average only 366 miles per month. Not much but I use it mostly for errands and around town only one 200 mile roundtrip so far. I generally tend to take the Goldwing on the longer runs. But one of these days the GW is going to be too heavy for my aging carcass to handle and the SW will be waiting to become the main machine. Sure love the little thing in town and traffic, much easier than my big bike. It will be nice too if the Oregon passes a proposed new law to allow lane sharing ala California, the SW is quite narrow which would make it very good for the few congested areas we have on busy days.

I plan on riding the Swing to and from work when the weather allows. I have a 15 mile round trip each day in the city. No expressways just city streets. Also, plan on riding on weekends with my husband on longer rides and are planning some longer trips next riding season. Can't wait.

We bought the 2009 Silverwing in April and all the miles, 5100, have been put on this past summer. Hope to top that next year.

04 silvering 64000 miles just over 10000 a year

Amazing. You must be in an area where you can ride year round.
