Overview

The Honda Silver Wing 400 is a scooter produced from 2007 to 2008. For 2008, it has a 398.0 cm³ liquid-cooled, fuel-injected parallel-twin four-stroke engine producing 36 hp (27 kW) and 37.0 Nm of torque at 6,500 rpm, with a dry weight of 228.0 kg.

Its 740 mm seat height makes the seat relatively low, while the 228.0 kg dry weight can make low-speed maneuvering feel substantial. The automatic transmission and centrifugal clutch remove the need for manual gear changes, and the belt final drive needs no chain adjustment or lubrication.

Pros and cons

Advantages

  • Low seat

    The 740 mm seat height can make it easier to put a foot down at a stop.

  • Automatic operation

    The automatic transmission and centrifugal clutch let the rider focus on throttle and braking instead of shifting.

  • Belt final drive

    The belt avoids the routine cleaning and adjustment required by a chain.

Things to consider

  • Heavy at low speed

    At 228.0 kg dry, the scooter may take more effort to maneuver in tight spaces or when stationary.
