What are the highest miles anyone has on their Silverwing.  I know there are plenty under 50k....how about over 50k or 100k ?

I bought 2 new 600 SilverWings---rode them to 50,000 miles quickly, I am sure they would go to 100,000 miles or more---I just did not want to be bothered with used scooter---and I like riding with Honda warranty----no known weak points other than some plastic cracking, 15,000 mile belt life----both of mine traded with original spark plugs and no valve adjust. Cheapest fuel used

I had 2 new SilverWiings, both ridden to 50,000 miles each quickly still under Honda warranty---I like riding with warranty---at 50,000 mile, still original plugs and no valve adjust---ran fine, cheapest reg gas and WalMart 10-40 oil---some cracked plastic, terrible oem windshield, good tire selection, 15,000 mile expensive belt life---I am sure ridden a lot they will/would go to over 100,000 miles====old not ridden a lot I am not sure

My first 2010 Swing I rode to around 90 000 miles before it began to get a bit limp. Mainly the variator needed replacing. As the second owner, I didn't want to keep it longer as it had had a hard life with the first owner.
I came across a low mileage Black 2010 Swing which I have maintained well and am now at around 115 000 miles. I don't intend replacing but she has been having some niggles. The seal at the end of the crank went most spectacularly one day with oil all over the variator and belt. It has been replaced by a professional but still leaks a bit there which is worrying. There is the usual leak at the wire entry to the casing on the RHS which we plan to have a look at over Christmas. The entire variator was replaced at around 100 000 miles and it has been going spectacularly since then.
Otherwise all good barring the usual oil, tyres, fluids and headlamp bulbs.

Nice to hear about the longevity of the swing, At 16,000 miles on a new to me 2004, I have a lot to look forward to
