Maintenance on the new 2018 Goldwing

[Dave Ritsema]

I am sure that Honda knows that a large majority of GL1800 owners pull trailers and I am equally sure the aftermarket will be all over that as soon as the bikes are available for them to get their hands on to design hitches for the new design.

I've always believed that too. Honda is not stupid when it comes to marketing. They very well know a GoldWing is the F150 in the m/c world. On any given week an F150 might commute a solo driver to work, and on the weekend have a camper loaded in its bed, and have to tow a 21' boat loaded with toys for and camping stuff for a family of 4 and all their friends. The same is true for a GoldWing. Certainly, Honda expresses warning about towing and modifications in their Owner's Manual, but they also know what their customer base expects.
