    Another New Goldwing Video

    I received another email from Honda today regarding the new Wing unveiling on 10/24. As with the first one, this linked to a video with several clips of the 'old' F6B, which leads me to believe there will really be a new one. Here's the video link:

    Here's some more info;

    Don't know where this comes from, but here are some more details on the new wing.

    I am surprised at only about 6hp net increase at the wheel. I guess it gets to keep its reliability that way.

    ABS does NOT stop your ability to "feather the line" of your own braking abilities!

    But it DOES catch you when you go over the line, and something is now skidding when you didn't want it to. Get the wheel back under control and ABS turns off.
    Great point and my thought exactly!
    A lot of people are under the impression ABS brakes work differently when under "normal" braking conditions. ABS brakes only comes into play when going over your braking ability, and locking up the wheels, and that's it. Otherwise they work the same as a bike without ABS.
