Excellent video. Thank you. Here's the link to the 2018 GoldWing Electronics and Telematics video:

Thanks both are great videos

I'm astonished at the lack of response to these videos. Must have cleared up all the misconceptions about the DCT and answered all of the other questions about the bike in general.

The second video says the Nav system is Harman, not Garmin. Harman is not known for navigation systems. They had a couple of portables that received mediocre customer reviews @ 10 years ago. Would be a shame if you have to make an $$$ trip to the dealers to get map updates instead of doing them yourselves with your PC and a thumb drive. 10 years of "FREE" map updates may not be so free after all.

In watching several of the videos it sounded to me like Harman has done the whole electronics integration on the new Wing. Doesn’t necessarily mean they developed the GPS, etc, but that they have integrated all of this stuff on the Wing. Looks like integration of multiple devices into a system is their speciality.

Guess we’ll learn more details in the future.

Interesting....Harmon also developed the infotainment system that Harley-Davidson uses on the Rushmore to current bikes.

Harman is OWNED by Samsung Electronics (South Korea) they are into everything.

So the engine/trams video talks about the increased power of the new engine....does anyone know the actual HP and Torque figures of this new power plant? I may have overlooked but I don't think I saw anything published about this on Honda's website.

125 hp. I do believe that is at the crank. The 2001-17 were supposed to be 118 hp at the crank. The torque is also 125 ft lbs. at the crank I am sure.

I predicted that VVT would be part of the new engine design, as Honda was a leader in that technology with the early Civic engines. Anybody know if the new design would allow that to be easily integrated down the road? The new Suzuki GSXR1000 has incorporated it, to pretty good reviews.

I have an interesting question about the DCT, is there a neutral mode or button?

I'm not one to sit at red light lights revving up my engine but is there a way to give it gas without being in gear so to speak?


****EDIT****
I read the owners manual and there is a neutral mode. Good to know.

I had thought my F6B was the last bike I was buying.This changes the game. Not this year but if things keep going forward as they are,I will have a 2019 thank you very much. One question is does the gold wing have a reverse. Got some leg problems I am recovering from now but going to have to have reverse from now on.
I LIKE it !

The goldwing DCT does have reverse. The goldwing Manual does not. Both Tour models have reverse, though they are different.

[soupbean]

The DCT does have a "N" neutral select.
