Checking out the local bike shops recently I talked to a young sales guy who I've dealt with many times...nice kid and he knows I don't have a dog in this race.

I noticed Honda is offering up some buyer incentives to the tune of a couple of thousand +/- on new Goldwings. My young friend said it was unusual for Honda to offer incentives on new inventory at this time of year. He and the other staff suspect Honda was ramping up to clear 2017 inventory in anticipation of something new from Honda.

I countered with - this rumor seems to persist every year..to which he said that he and the other sales staff had a hunch that Honda is up to something for 2018...

What do you guys and gals think? Will 2018 be the year of change? Has the Yamaha TC release signaled the race has started?
