GL500 Interstate
Considered one of the best mid-sized touring bike. The Honda SilverWing exemplifies excellence. There are not too many of these bikes left. They only made them for 2 years ('82 & '83). There are many SilverWing internet groups. Feel free to check them out for some background information.
