Hello Friends! Most of you do not know me as I have just been lurking this past year using all of your documented knowledge!(and PMing some privately for extra help hehe) Unfortunately I am being forced to sell my Silver wing because my apartment complex is pricing me out and I will no longer have access to a garage or any legitimate space to store or tuck her besides on a public street Crying or Very sad

This is great for anyone in the southern California area because my wing has 1500 original miles on it. Tupperware was ruined within the first 50 miles of the scoots life by the previous owner but it runs like new because… well it is basically new! Here’s my Craigslist AD, I’ll give priority to anyone on here obviously Cool

Another drop over victim…mine was as well (by prior owner)- mechanically mint as it is at this time but some touched up paint on the main fairing. I was able to source a new one on Babbittsonline.com and am trying to find the time to make it like new again. Sorry you have to sell yours.

Yeah I wish I could hold onto it and do the same but it isn’t worth the stress of checking outside every hour to see if it’s been stolen lol.

Sorry to say Caveman all that damage did not come from a couple of "stand still" tip overs. That's some serious road grinding along with at least one sudden impact to scrape, crack and shatter the tupperware like that. And who knows about the mechanical bits? пусть покупатель будет бдителен

Yeah I guess I never thought about it like that. He probably spilled really hard because he wasn’t used to the power of these scoots and wasn’t letting on. As for as mechanical is concerned I know personally it is doing very well and running very healthy. I took it to Vespa Motorsport and had the legendary Mr Robot look everything over for me, make sure the frame was all straight and that there was nothing wrong in general besides cosmetic issues.

Personally, I think this sorry tale about the original owner’s damage 18 years ago is nonsense. If that had been the case, his insurance would have covered repairs and replacement Tupperware for the damage.

As for him not being used to the power, it's mainly mature and experienced riders on both sides of the Pond that buy the Silver Wing, not young fellas in their twenties.

I'm sorry you have to get rid of the scooter, good luck with your sale. However I gotta say I think $3500 is going to be tough to get even with 1500 miles on it. Lets face it with 17 years on it plus all the tupperware damage.

Regrettably those damaged Titanium panels are NLA. Which means that a prospective owner will be faced with either tedious DIY or costly body shop repairs in addition to the premium asking price.

I mean I bought the scooter from the original owner who was an older gentleman in his late 60s and he still had the original title, all the sale paperwork from Honda and everything. I could see him lying about how hard he spilled but I wouldn’t call his experience nonsense 🤔

What would be a fair listing price to you? Keep in mind I’m in San Diego where costs of everything are crazy in our market. A beat up 50cc goes for $1500 and the 150s are usually between $2500 and $4000 based on condition.

"What would be a fair listing price to you?"

For comparison, in South Florida, where life can be crazy-expensive, there are three 2005 Silver Wings for sale on Facebook Marketplace:

$3,700, 21,000 miles (dropped, scratched)
$3,900, 17,000 miles (dealer, so more ka-chings before an OTD price)
$3,200, 33,000 miles (unbelievably dirty, how can people present bikes for sale so filthy? Animals!)

Worth noting: they've been listed for many weeks, so they are not selling at those prices.

I've bought and sold five Silver Wings. I look for low mileage and pristine body. Your mileage is hugely appealing, but somebody who wants to make it a really nice bike will have to replace the body panels, rough guess around $1,000, OR take them off the bike and bring them to a small auto paint shop willing to re-do them, rough guess $500. The latter option is appealing because you could choose a cool new color (I am partial to color, three of my Wings were 2003's in that fabulous Candy Glory Red)

Personally, I wouldn't touch your bike for more than $2,000 -- maybe a bit more because I would be lusting after that odometer reading (I am not in the market to buy, to be clear, just being helpful). But I've learned a reasonable price is whatever the heck you can sell it for, so good luck and God speed.

Regrettably, even with crazy San Diego prices, I still think you are a bit high. Try for 2K-2.5K and be lucky to get it. While most of us agree that Silver Wings are great scooters, maxi's are not hot in the US.

Good luck.

The true price say I is what the buyer and seller agree on.

I just bought a 2003, original panels with a few scratches, 7,600 miles with new tires for $2,300. Original Owner, garage kept. This is my third wing, I bought a 2004 had a wreck so had to replace most of the panels and it cost me $1,000 in plastics. New fuel pump assembly $400., and It only had 1,200 miles. bought it for $800.

"I just bought a 2003, original panels with a few scratches, 7,600 miles with new tires for $2,300."

That is a good deal. I would have been all over that one.

It satisfies a key benchmark when I buy a bike: "If I buy this today for (x-amount), could I sell it for more tomorrow?"

The idea isn't to make money, it's to make sure I'm not overpaying. I hate to overpay.

Hey guys, just an update I got an offer for $2500 from a college kid and when he showed up it was a mix of large and small bills and a request to give me the rest on Venmo. I could tell he really wanted the bike so I just let him have it for $2000 and told him to keep it for a long time and to treat it well. I also pointed him in this direction so maybe y’all will hear from him in the future. It’s been a pleasure gentleman Smile

Congrats on the sale. Sometimes it means a lot to sell it to a person that will give the scoot a good home!

I think Elvis has left the building (the OP).

But I agree, selling for that price with that message was a kind, generous thing to do. I'm sure the kid was thrilled. The bike is an ugly duckling, but a Silver Wing with 1,500 miles is a beautiful thing.
