I went to my Honda dealer on October 25, the day after the big announcement to place my order on a base Goldwing (without the trunk) and was told that they would be able to order the bikes in November. I got a call today telling me that they are ordering the new bikes today, but they are only able to order the touring models and not the base Goldwings. They were not given any information on when they could order the Goldwings or when they might be available in the showrooms. I'm guessing that Mother Honda expects the touring model to be a big seller and they are prioritizing those first. I could get the touring model and take off the trunk, but I prefer the blacked out look of the base model and I will wait for that.
