In three years that Goldwing will be selling used for $17k. That’s the time to buy it.

I bet the oil pumps hold up.

Or if they don't, Honda will quickly issue a recall to correctly correct the issue.  No "Product Program" nonsense or fix 1,2,3/a,b,c on the part number board.... >:(

As for the new GW or GW Tour, to me it looks like an all-grown-up ST.  Losing 90 lbs, stronger motor, interesting double wishbone front suspension, cleaned up instrument panel, losing 90 lbs (yes I know I said that twice but dang, that's a LOT of weight to skim with all the changes even with a plastic covered bike)....what's not to like?  I would be interested in riding one but not owning one.  I had an 1800 when they first came out in 2001...kept it for less than a year.  It was one of the most uncomfortable bikes I have ever ridden long distance but that is me and my experience. 

I'm betting it's another winner for Honda.... :2vrolijk_21:

I agree Lou, I love the look of the Indians too, but that new Goldwing has it all. And it all makes sense, not just stuff, for the sake of stuff. Like someone posted earlier, the nice thing about Honda is that they get to field test their stuff in the automotive division. Harley uses us as their field test. Think about it, more HP, more room, more comfortable, more usable items, and 90 pounds lighter.

We are the Beta Testers for the MOCO. Small group, fewer recalls/repairs. Other industries pay their Beta Testers for their feedback and inconveniences.

Thought I'd wait for Indian to come out with a frame mounted fairing and wet motor, but now this !  Can't wait to demo the wing although the video probably says it all.

I'm sure they have one in RED with your name on it.
