New 2018 GOLDWING

[SpeedyWho]

The spokesman did mention a forward AND reverse walking gear... I think he said it was available on the DCT model. Someone please correct me if I’m wrong.

I think you're correct, the DCT models all have reverse, and the basic touring with the 6 speed has reverse similar to the current model. The only bike without reverse is the standard Goldwing with the 6 speed.

The overdrive on the DCT and the 6 speed have the same final drive ratio, I thought that was pretty interesting.

This is a pretty good video

That’s what I heard too.


I would buy a tour and a trunk delete kit. F6B for 95% of time, throw on trunk when my wife and I do a trip together. Can’t take that long to switch. Hour tops? Cant wait to find out!

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.

You mean launder money?

Just kidding.

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.

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