    No correction needed. I played it several times. ..........Manual is 6 speed with reverse and the DCT is 7 speed with reverse AND walking reverse.......might have to sell some Bitcoins next Feb.

    I don't think the Standard 6 speed wing has reverse, but the standard tour 6 speed does.

    Yep, my error. No reverse on the Gold Wing manual, just on the DCT. I'm prone to agree that the Gold Wing Tour with 6 speed would be nice if the trunk is removable. Russell Day Long better be gearing up asap, IMO, unless they have improved the hell out of the stock seat on either model. That 30mm more rider room up front might solve some issues. Finally having 6 speeds, reverse and that front end......very nice to see Honda bring it up to speed.

    Many of those accessories were produced by after market vendors in the past.

    It's funny to me that there was a big scramble back in 2013 when they changed from circular shaped driving lights to rectangular. With this new machine, they're back to round ones again. Glad I'm not in the business of selling rectangular driving lights.

    That's ONLY 1.2 inches forward ... not sure thats going to help many that needed at least 2-3 inches of more room.
