Rider Profile

Best ForA rider who has moved beyond a beginner scooter and wants a bigger, more substantial maxi-scooter without needing full motorcycle licensing skills or clutch experience.
PurposeBuilt for effortless commuting and weekend touring, blending scooter convenience with genuine highway-capable performance.
Rider FitThe 754mm seat height and 247kg weight mean shorter or less experienced riders will notice the heft at low speed and standstill.
CharacterA refined, torquey twin-cylinder maxi-scooter that prioritizes smooth automatic operation, weather protection, and long-distance comfort over sportiness.
Not Ideal ForNot suited to riders seeking off-road capability, manual gear engagement, or a lightweight, flickable machine for tight canyon roads.

2002 Honda Silver Wing Rider Ergonomics Assessment

Calculated in your browser only - your height/inseam are never sent to our servers.

Feet:

At 740mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2002 Honda Silver Wing, with a moderate knee angle of around 105 degrees and a slightly forward riding position.

Data quality: measured. Assumes about 30mm of suspension sag once seated (a typical street-bike rule of thumb - stiffer or softer suspension will vary). This is an approximation from category-typical geometry and generic body proportions, not a measurement of this specific bike or you - sit on it before you buy.

⚠ Safety Recalls (2)

STEERING: STEERING WHEEL/HANDLE BAR Dec 2003 · 03V513000

ON CERTAIN SCOOTERS, EXCESSIVE CLEARANCE BETWEEN THE LOWER HANDLEBAR CLAMP AND HANDLEBAR HOLDER CREATES STRESS THAT CAN EVENTUALLY CAUSE THE HANDLEBAR TO LOOSEN OR DETACH.

Risk: THIS COULD RESULT IN A LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL, WHICH COULD LEAD TO A CRASH.

Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSTALL TWO LOWER HANDLEBAR CLAMPS, ADD WASHERS BETWEEN THE LOWER CLAMPS AND HANDLEBAR HOLDER, AND INSTALL NEW LOCKNUTS. OWNER NOTIFICATION BEGAN ON DECEMBER 11, 2003. OWNERS SHOULD CONTACT HONDA AT 1-866-784-1870.

WHEELS Sep 2002 · 02V250000

ON CERTAIN MOTORCYCLES, UNDER CERTAIN RIDING CONDITIONS, SUCH AS CONTINUOUSLY BUMPY ROADS, THE REAR WHEEL COULD DEVELOP STRESS CRACKS WHERE THE WHEEL SPOKES ATTACH TO THE HUB.

Risk: THE SPOKES WILL EVENTUALLY FAIL, CAUSING THE WHEEL TO COLLAPSE WITHOUT WARNING.

Remedy: DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE REAR WHEEL, INCLUDING A NEW TIRE. OWNER NOTIFICATION IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN DURING SEPTEMBER 2002.
