This bike runs great. It never has a problem starting, even when it's cold. I only started it every two or three weeks this last winter, and it was just fine every time. These twisted twin engines are known for being bullet proof. The silverwing is considered touring bike. It's made to go places. It will need some love and such as it is a 30 year old bike, but is should keep running for a couple of more decades. It gets an average of 45 mpg, with at least 50 mpg highway. I've never used an entire tank up on the freeway, so it probably gets even better than that. The luggage holds a lot. I can put 4 cases of Coke in that bike with a bit of rearranging.
If you need a two-up bike, you can get a backseat for the silverwing off ebay for a pretty reasonable price. It takes about thirty seconds to pop the trunk off, and the seat will go on just as easily.
It has about 30000 miles on it. The odometer was changed out last year when some hoodlum shot at it with a bb gun. It reads around 6000 lower than the actual miles on the bike. The trip meter doesn't work on this one. If it bothers you, 'new' ones are pretty cheap at Bill's Boneyard.
Cosmetically, it's well... challenged. It is, after all, blue. Some of the plastics are cracked. All serviceable, just not perfect. At one time I was going to restore it, but got sidetracked. There's this brilliant plastic repair kit you can buy at Walmart for pretty cheap. Some of that and a paint job will get you a decent looking bike.
The wiring has a couple of things... when you flip on the high beams, your tail light goes off. I've looked at the wiring harness, and I don't think it would be that difficult a fix for someone who knows wiring basics. I don't. And the kill switch doesn't kill the bike... it kills the headlight. I think that was to conserve power for the accessories that were, at one time, mounted in the fairing. And if you were to remount some stuff in there, power conservation would already be taken care of!
