    Some information that is reliable: Honda will do what ever it takes to remain profitable.

    Riding a Goldwing is like opening a can of testosterone.

    If they change the Goldwing this year, I wonder if they will keep making F6b's until they use up their 1800 engines. Didn't they do this with the 1500 engines and the Valk?

    I just read this. Don't know how true it is. Read on!

    No other time in the History of the Goldwing, has Honda Corporation shown a new version of a new Goldwing to the buying public.

    To make this even more special, under 30 chosen few got to not only see the New Goldwing & F6B. But actually got invited to test ride the new bikes, at a secret location owned by Honda.

    This was the only viewing & Test ride in the USA. (My friend was part of history)

    The Consensus was overwhelming in the Positive.

    Both bikes were rebuilt from the ground up.

    Both bikes share the same engine.

    The Flagship is a DCT 7 speed.(can be manually paddle shifted)

    The F6B is a manual 6 speed transmission (Still a stripped down wing)

    ECM (now a central computer) has different modes of operation. (I won't say how many)

    Suspension also has different modes. (I won't say how many)

    Engine is a totally new power plant. (That info was kept confidential).

    All new bodywork.

    LED Lighting front to rear.

    80 pounds lighter.

    Without getting to in depth about each and every item Honda has created in this all new bike.

    I will say that to describe the look and features is in a word. "Radical"


    Through the years everyone has had a list of things they wanted on a new Goldwing.

    Well Honda has been listening, and put together a bike that should please everyone.

    Well almost everyone,after all Goldwing owners are never satisfied no matter what you give them!!! (Sarcasm inserted)

    I have a ton of information, But will not post it here for my own reasons. it's Honda's new bike.

    I'll let them have the Honor of telling everyone exactly what is on both new redesigned bikes.

    These forum sleuths are present in every motor sport. Check the snowmobile forums in late winter before the next model year sleds come out.

    While I hope these changes are true, I will believe it when I see it.
    Former Ride:
    2013 F6B Standard, black; sold 7/2019
    Latest Addition:
    2016 Gold Wing Level 3, red; SCT transmission stuck in manual mode
    2019 Miles:
    7,900 as of 10/6

    By the tone of the narrative this "appears" to be just cut-n-paste from some facebook post or a circulating email posing as news. I will gladly by the drinks if it's genuine.
