Looks are not that bad just not for me !!!!

[Panhead_Jimmy]

I like it and I hate Honda's. 

Maybe the moco will throw in a new F6B or BM'R 1600 GTL with the purchase of a new CVO.  At least we'd have something to ride during the time the dealership is determining that "they all do that and your warranty is invalid with the slip-on mufflers".

I look at the pictures and think Clearview and Freedom Shields must be jumping for joy.
And then wonder if Fullsac will offer replacement baffles.
Traxxion, better windshield and Fullsac exhaust would make this bike a viable option.
Wonder if they have a blue one?
What the hell am I thinking?

Having put thousands of miles on an '89 and '02 Wing over a 9 year period, I believe they are awesome rides.  I suffered lots of pipe envy when out with my HD riding buds, but other than that, almost flawless performance and loads of complements.  With the necessary suspension upgrades, they handle as well as any sport bike. 

This bike is geared to a younger market.  At best a weekend trip bike.  The removal of the tour pack will change the handling characteristics a lot.  The Goldwings tend to be top heavy, so that is a real plus.  I wonder if it has been lowered any and whether it uses the same tires as the stock wing?

I'm not going to badmouth these bikes, because I like all types of motorcycles.  They're just a tool and each has it's strengths and weaknesses, regardless of who makes them.  If my wallet and garage were big enough, it would be full of all types.  Just do it on two wheels baby!

From the Los Angeles Times Bus. Section:

Hoping to entice new riders with a timely twist on a timeless standard, the 1800-cc, six-cylinder Gold Wing F6B is Honda's latest attempt to sell some Harley-Davidson heat to customers who might not be able to afford the pricier American classic. With hot-rod lines, a "gunslinger-style" seat, and a sales pitch that says it's "designed for serious riders," this battleship of a bike is priced at $19,999.

Form over function?

I like it and I would buy one. I would have to see one in person though and sit on it. I think Honda will sell these and if it was out when I bought my CVO Road Glide I think I would have bought the Honda. But like I said earlier I would have to sit on it first. One thing for sure the liquid cooling would be nice and like others said the Gold Wing is a great touring bike. I don't Like trunks and this might be the one I get next.

Not bad but if I purchased a non-HD machine, it would be either the BMW 1600 GT or GTL..

Way to much plastic on the MC for me and the rear end is hugh  . It looks like it has already been rear ended.

Looked at the youtube video and while the bike is not bad, the attempt to make is appear "cool" to be riding a black (or any color) Gold Wing is like putting lipstick on a pig.  No issues with GW riders (as stated I owned one briefly and have some great friends that swear by 'em) but they will be the first to admit dat day ain't cool...

Funny how advertising works....as I stare out of the office window at my $35K CVO....go figure.

Don't hate the bike from the front (though the windscreen is likely worthless).  Have to agree from the back though. 

Bike is what might happen if a Road Glide and a Vision hooked up and had a baby and the Road Glide and the Vision were a little too closely related to have enjoyed themselves.  I'd still ride it though.

Just needs a few touches from Team Willie to make it perfect. I know he is watching this post and maybe a FLTRSEH2O could happen soon. He must be bored with retirement by now.
