    No new 2018 Wing

    Unfortunately, because of Euro emission/safety standards that went into effect Sept 1, it sounds like the GL1800 run is ending. If Honda continues with the GL1800 line here in America, it will probably be color changes as usual.

    "Honda Motor, the top maker, with a market share of over 40%, has made 24 of its 74 models compatible with the incoming environmental and safety requirements. Of the remaining models, the Super Cub small bike and the 1800cc Goldwing are being killed off for now; they are to be reintroduced after they can be made regulation-compliant."

    I read that as:
    "Honda is going to dress up what's left in their inventory of 1.1 million 1800 motors in new clothes and unload them on the non-Euro population starting in late 2017."

    New Wing, new F6B? Don't hold your breath. Sounds like rumor #500. Me, I'll just enjoy my old F6, "the best bike ever", as often stated by GA Teach!

    I was at my Honda dealer yesterday he is a very small dealer. They sold their last Goldwing the other day and they were going to order another one but the Honda rep told them not to order another one they should just wait.

    They're coming. Just look up the leaked pictures on a couple of threads here.
