Today was the first official presentation of the 2018 Honda GoldWing and GoldWing Tour at Honda HQ in Torrance, California. I attempted to take some relevant photos and get some answers from the very knowledgeable Honda technical staff on hand.

First and most importantly, we had some GoldWing cookies to eat – Honda makes a tasty cookie! About 4 inches in diameter, with a nice, high-definition gradient on the printed sugar logo:



Here are some photos of the bikes:

First, the GW Tour after unveiling:



Next, the entry-level GW. All blacked-out, my favorite.



The bags are a bit smaller than on the F6B – a styling concession.



The odd little caliper on the rear disc is for the parking brake – it's an automatic, so it needs one.



Some really bright LEDs up front ...



And also in the rear.



Linked brakes with linked ABS on every model. Somebody listened!



I liked the looks of the bagger. I also like the looks of the F6B. They're both more attractive than the BMW K1600B, in my mind.



A fat rear tire. 200mm I believe. Looks just right.



The GoldWing gets the black exhaust. The Tour gets the chrome.
