GTL  about $23,000
GT    about $20,000

That's base price, w/o premium package etc, etc. the GTL could go up to 26-27.

That is if you can get it. No idea if the dealer are gauging because of the short supply.

$26,400 before taxes on the loaded version.

About the same as a comparably equipped 'Wing.  This bike will pull some 'Wing riders off their bikes and on to this one once the supply side catches up with the demand.  2 more years, I think.

Hell of a lot nicer bike than a 'Wing, IMO.  The 2012 'Wing is nothing new...same old, same old.  Honda will have to do some changes to maintain their market.

According to this review there were a "host of changes" to the 2012 wing.

I figure most have seen these by now but thought I'd make it easy to find.

I added a GTL to the stable in July. The only mod's I made were driver peg lowering kit, larger windshield, and in the process of having a Russell Day-Long seat built. I have had zero issues with the bike. As you probably know this thing has some serious gitty-up! You will enjoy the new ride.

 :2vrolijk_20:  Glad to hear it. I saw those seats. Keep us posted on the review of that seat. Did you get your GTL with the lower seat or higher? I assume lower as I have read the RDL raises you up a few inches. Where did you purchase your Peg Lowering kit?


EDIT: I found it!  http://www.ascycles.com/detail.aspx?ID=121995 And this one is adjustable! http://www.ascycles.com/detail.aspx?ID=122033

They said the average has been 6 months but he thought maybe a month or two sooner since all the pre-orders and what not were pretty much filled or slowing down.
