The Honda Silver Wing and Honda Silver Wing ABS are touring scooters designed and manufactured by Honda.

The name Silver Wing was also used for an earlier motorcycle series including the GL500 and GL650. In 2001 Honda resurrected the Silver Wing brand, this time in the form of a 511 pound, 582 cc maxi-scooter. It is one of the most powerful scooters on the market, featuring a CVT transmission, and is popular for both commuting and longer distance touring.
