Honda doesn't explicitly list engine power numbers, but the design details would suggest it has ample power:

3 years unlimited warranty, too, along with available up to 8 years through the Honda protection plan.  Yes I know it's probably a third party insurance warranty but at least Honda puts their name on it.  You don't see the "Harley Davidson ESP".....

I love my stupid, old, carbureted TC88 Harley, but if I wanted to rack up tons of reliable cross-country miles, I think I would look at this option pretty closely.

My BMW K1600GT with an inline 6 cylinder and capacity of 1649cc puts out 160hp and 129ft-lbs max torque. Undoubtedly this new Honda Gold Wing will numbers around this neighborhood with it's 1833cc.

Another great motorcycle!  Those things are holy sheet fast and smooth as glass.  Phenomenal suspension.
I'm guessing the new Honda Goldwing will be right there with it.
Nice to have so many good options!

Two or three years from now when any new model kinks have been dealt with (in the way Honda deals with such things) and good used examples are in the middle to high teens I could be tempted.  Unless of course an Indian has already scratched that itch.  I think I'm more intrigued by the significant systems integration and deployment in the Honda than I am by the styling of the Indian though.  Touch choice.  Bet the Honda is faster and handles better.  That could help make the choice too.

Any other Shark riders happen to notice the glare on the radio screen in the video? I'd think They would have heard all us RG riders bitching about it the last 3  years and would have done better.

Other than that...


Time to go see what kinds of prices adding all the "CVO included" accessories add up to. Liners, cb, stereo and such to see what a comparable model really adds up to.

Wonder which oil is best to use in one of these fancy Honda?   

[iski]

You use the nicest oil, made for the nicest bikes, ridden by the nicest people you meet.
