| Sounds like a sweet ride, and I love the color. The lack of color selection in the SW is disappointing. |

| Thanks for the ride report! We see way too few of them... I love that color as well. Never could understand the Honda color choices (lack of them) for the Silver Wing... Mine was "any color as long as it is BLACK"!
Now if you really want to try it out; come to Arizona and we can RIDE. I might even meet ya half way somewhere... |

| Glenn,
It would be nice to ride it out there. I had the silver Silverwing and why they didn't change their color's is beyond me. I like this red too and it would look great on a Swing. |

| What color SilverWing on US market as I believe it is dead dog-----two reasons, lack of sales/old design # 2 Price it is/has been $3000 more than some Honda bikes with better performance.. |

| The colours for the Silver Wing SWT-600 are a boring Silver, Black, and a sort of metallic Olive Green, so it's just as well it's not imported into the US.

| Jeff: That is a great looking bike! Congratulations and thanks for sharing your impressions with us. I am seriously considering swapping my Swing for a CTX too. But maybe the 1300... |

| Scootist,
Thanks. I am reallly liking this bike. Is the 1300 out yet? I asked about it when I bought my 700 and they didn't really have any info on it. Is there a reason you would bypass the 700 and get the 1300? I'm just curious. I do wish they put the seat of the 1300 on the 700. I have seen pics of the 1300 seat and it has a higher backrest on it to there not being a backrest on the 700.
When do you think you will make your mind up on a new bike. I have to say though, that the wind management was great on the SWing. For those in colder climates a rider would have to wear warmer clothes on the 700. But here in the S.F. bay area it doesn't really get cold compared to the midwest where I'm from. |

| CTX700 is a Nice bike.
I have a Silver NC700X.
I have been getting 72mpg average, best was 79mpg so far.
They are comfortable bikes, with plenty of power, that handle well.
Enjoy it |
