2018 Gold Wing First Ride Review by Fred Harmon
Our good friend, Fred Harmon, was invited to Austin, Texas to take part in the Gold Wing press event last week. After riding the all new 2018 Honda Gold Wing for a couple days, he spent some time reflecting on his experience and wrote an in-depth review of his experience, which is available to read exclusively at WingStuff.com. At the conclusion of his review there is also a video of Fred riding the new Wing, offering his insights. We want to give a big thanks to Fred for working so hard to provide our Wing community with a wealth of information and for allowing us to share his review on WingStuff!

Blue GW Tour looks like an FJR
That blue GWT Fred rode looked like an FJR on steroids!
Beef up the FJR powertrain, throw on an integrated rear trunk and few creature comforts, and you wouldn’t be too far off from Honda’s flagship. Of course, only BMW likely compares to Honda’s new suspension. I think Yamaha’s flagship Venture made a HUGE mistake by not throwing in a VMax engine and liquid cooling.
Hopefully, Honda or someone else will build an accessory for the passenger seat to offer more comfort and security. I’m trying to get my wife ON the bike, not keep her off! Hah!
I’m really loving this new GW! So tempting.
