ponyjr Posted November 13, 2012 Report Share Posted November 13, 2012 I'd rock it with some crazy loud mufflers, just to piss off all the other GL guys. I love the look of it, almost same kinda look as the Victory Vision 8 ball. chopped w/s, no trunk and all blacked out as any good bike should be! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tpoppa Posted November 13, 2012 Report Share Posted November 13, 2012 Seems like a second gen Valkyrie to me. I would like to demo one even though it'll be years before I consider buying another cruiser. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RHill Posted November 13, 2012 Report Share Posted November 13, 2012 (edited) How much $?I like it, but need more pics.Edit: after watching an advertisement on YouTube, nope. It has curb appeal, but once a rider is on it, it is lost. Plus it doesn't have the utility of a normal wing.

cOoTeR Posted November 13, 2012 Report Share Posted November 13, 2012 Is rock it. Around $20,000 I'll wait till the price drops. yeah throw some crazy loud pipes and blare some loud rock music. The colors will match my gear too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoblick Posted November 13, 2012 Report Share Posted November 13, 2012 i prefer the all black.. but.. no i wouldnt buy one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bad324 Posted November 13, 2012 Report Share Posted November 13, 2012 I'd buy the all black one in a heartbeat once it hits the used market. It is actually making me debate not going through with a VTX bagger project I like it so much. Granted this is just by the looks and specs, could be a whole nother ballgame after demo'ing one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bad324 Posted November 13, 2012 Report Share Posted November 13, 2012 None of the ammenities of a real Goldwing' date=' but all of the ugly. No, thanks.[/quote']What is it missing from a regular goldwing other than obvious top box/recliner? Serious question as I've never even looked into what all the Goldwing has amenity wise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hailwood Posted November 13, 2012 Report Share Posted November 13, 2012 Not my cup of tea, but it's a pretty neat idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RHill Posted November 13, 2012 Report Share Posted November 13, 2012 None of the ammenities of a real Goldwing' date=' but all of the ugly. No, thanks.I do like the screen, though. Maybe they should figure out how to incorporate that into the touring platform. You need a tall screen, but not all of the time. That front end looks way better with the chopped windshield.[/quote']Power windscreen, moves based on rain and temp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mello dude Posted November 13, 2012 Report Share Posted November 13, 2012 I like the all black version except for the huge mirrors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redkow97 Posted November 13, 2012 Report Share Posted November 13, 2012 I am sure it rides and handles really well considering how rotund it is, but I just can't get past certain aspects of the goldwing...- cost. It's $20k. I can buy a civic for less than that, and carry a ton more stuff, all while getting comparable (if not better) mileage in the car- weight. I don't care if it handles well while riding, it's still 900 lbs. Motorcycles should not need a reverse gear.- stereo. Again, there are certain things motorcycles just should not need. A radio is one of them. I understand the desire to have tunes on long-ass highway hauls, but helmet speakers for such occassions seems less... I don't know... less pussy-douche-couch.I completely understand why some people adore the goldwing, and it is certainly great for touring - I just can't get over the fact that it has crushed (what I think of as) the soul of motorcycling. There is supposed to be a little noise, a little wind, and a little discomfort. Those are the trades you make for the thrill of riding. It's kind of like owning an older convertible: They flex in turns, the top leaks when it rains, they're noisy on the highway, etc. - but then every so often, there's that one perfect 77 degree day, when the sun is out, and you just love your convertible. That's how I feel 90% of the time I'm on a motorcycle, in spite of all the sacrifices.The goldwing is too polished for me. Almost numb. Like a player-piano. Technically correct, but no soul. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
