So the F6B is now renamed as the Goldwing for 2018

The video was good and very exciting to me. I can't wait to see the bike in person. I'm already talking to the Minister of Finance!
One thing I noticed on Hondas website site I thought was odd and haven't seen before is, the engine has Aluminum Cylinder Sleeves. I'm sure the engineers at Honda know better than me but I wouldn't have guessed they'd pick Aluminum for a bike that's capable of hundreds of thousands of miles. But that's not gonna stop me from getting a new one.
Can't wait to test drive the DCT.
