You're right on the Norton. I must have mixed up my movies. Maybe it was the movie about looking for wine. I remember a movie, just can't remember which one, where they rode a Silver Wing in South America. Wayne On Jul 16, 12:33 pm, Joey Kelley wrote: > http://maine.craigslist.org/mcy/1846525

Che Guevara?? I don't think so. Che died in '67. Long before the CX-500 was a twinkle in Honda's eye. I remember the GL500 Silver Wing version was a toured up version of the CX-500 twin. It was a mini-me version of the Gold Wing. It came out in the early 80s and was a niche market bike f

Ironic you mention the Yamaha 650 - my Dad sold his last one when I was 8 or 9 I think - regretted it since he felt it would have been a perfect bike for me. On the flip side, it would have sat for 9 years or so until I got my license. I think I'll go full size on my touring bike search
