Filmed on an iPhone 14 Pro with sound recorded on a Røde ME Wireless microphone set up then edited using the LumaFusion App on an iPad Pro [6th Generation].

I sold my JAWA 638 (just parked under tarp, for a decade) to a friend and MB C124 OM603 to another one- to get one Silverwing (a la Interstate) imported to me from Poland, two months ago. Just before they are seemingly gaining popularity again and cut and gutted to something they are not. Just today did stator on kitchen table and basically tiding up after quadruple bypass. Then i think im ready to take first meters of test drive with it and start thinking about licence. It did seem bit cramped for my 1.85m height but early to say. Cant swap to pillion seat yet- no keys. Wish me luck with this top heavy dreammachine. :D

Thanks for taking a look at my video and for your comment. I have not ridden a Silver Wing myself but the seating position and handlebar sweep should help with the top heavy weight. Plus I guess the smaller custom style tank would be less heavy than the high mounted behemoth on the standard CX500 like I had. Good luck with your classic purchase but take it easy at first, given your op. Should be a comfortable cruiser for you. Vince

Hi Caz, Thanks for taking a look at my video and for your comment. I suspect most CX owners felt that way. The bike has a habit of getting under your skin in a good way. Mocked by only those who don't really know them. Vince
