JustinNck1 Posted September 22, 2017 Report Share Posted September 22, 2017 If this is what the new Goldwing will look like, I'd say Honda is going in the right direction. It looks like they slimmed it down some. http://www.visordown.com/motorcycle-news-new-bikes/new-goldwing-pictures-leak Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helmutt Posted September 22, 2017 Report Share Posted September 22, 2017 Sharp ride. It's more K1600 looking, and Honda even adopted a new BMW'esque lever fork design. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2talltim Posted September 22, 2017 Report Share Posted September 22, 2017 I think it looks just like a FJR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonik Posted September 22, 2017 Report Share Posted September 22, 2017 While I love the new Venture on paper, I have often said to myself that it's price is in Gold Wing territory...and now they revamp the Wing. Interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mello dude Posted September 22, 2017 Report Share Posted September 22, 2017 Looks pretty sweet, kinda blend of ST1300/GW/FJR/BMW1600... Really like that silver F6B. Wonder what they did to the engine. With 1800 cc - it could really kick butt if they let it breath some... Any news on price tags? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wahoo Posted September 23, 2017 Report Share Posted September 23, 2017 I'm planning to retire in a little over 2 years. That ought to give Mother Honda enough time to work the "bugs" out of the new design. If that really is the new design I like it too. I'll probably keep my 2008 Wing until the 2020 models come out, then make the jump. By then we should have visited all of the lower 48 states on our 2008 Wing, so we can start over and do it again on the new one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

magley64 Posted September 24, 2017 Report Share Posted September 24, 2017 I'm probably winging it once I decide to unload the XX. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonik Posted October 25, 2017 Report Share Posted October 25, 2017 It's out and official. The reviews and test rides are coming back very positive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really surprised the touring non DCT version is under 27K. Perfect timing, my birthday is in 5 days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, that;s what Dad would want. Touring model, non-DCT. He uses an Iphone, so he can utilize the Apple CarPlay. What I thought was odd is the center stand is an option. I guess that's how you cut costs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The lack of Android Auto support pisses me off big time. No center stand is also less weight I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much like bag liners, they will order them with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonik Posted October 25, 2017 Report Share Posted October 25, 2017 Leaving these kind of things off is becoming more common. The Venture charges extra for a heal shifter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScubaCinci Posted October 25, 2017 Report Share Posted October 25, 2017 I like the new GW! Finally, the base tourer gets ABS and Nav included. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
