    Interesting read about Honda video. Hint of new Gold Wing?

    So have learned that Honda is revealing a new model of motorcycle on October 24th. They have a video which is the first in a series of videos leading up to this unveiling. This article has the video and some interesting commentary. The video does feature an original 75 Gold Wing which can only be assumed to bear some pertinent hint at what is to come.

    I like what I see @ 1:16 into the video...

    This video has the same cadence, and schmoozey muszak in the background as any commercial produced by any of [insert product here] these days.

    Don't be lulled in by the marketing and manage your expectations for something you might not like....at the big reveal in October.

    Expect the worst, hope for the best!

    BTW the big reveal will be at the gates of winter for 50-75% of the riding population...myself, I may be too busy cruising down the driveway in my snowblower..

    Keep in mind, just because they reveal a new bike, doesn't mean it will be readily available at your local dealer at that time.

    This is the same time frame Honda usually announces new bikes.

    And yet a few measly miles north and it's wet and cold....

    And? Wet and cold just means better M/C parking when all the fair weather folk cower in their cages for a few drops of liquid sunshine on the road.

    Big Larry has it right though, one of the few things I enjoyed about my last TDY in SoCal was being able to ride in my draggin shirt nearly everyday for 14 months.

    Great video, however I see nothing that suggests a new Wing is coming.

    Uh, did you even read the article? It has been announced that Honda is unveiling a new motorcycle October 24th. These videos are a series of videos leading up to this event. No, there was no specific mention of a new Gold Wing, but in context of everything known then throw in the 1975 Gold Wing in the video it becomes pretty onvious what the inference is.
