    Here's a test ride on a track. The rider loves it. It sounds great.

    The '18 B replacement is $7K more than I paid for my zero miles '16. I'm fine with what's in my garage.

    It's going to take some creative engineering to attach highway pegs
    Might need to cut through the plastic to reach a attachment point.



    Successful people build each other up. They motivate, inspire and push each other. Unsuccessful people just hate, blame and complain.

    I agree. No need to spend big $$$, when I have a great F6b in the garage!

    I imagine that that will be figured out. May even mean that highway pegs would include whatever modified body piece that might be necessary.

    Also dropping 90+/-lbs will give you more fuel economy.

    Honda Listens

    With the introduction of the new 2018 Gold Wings it appears that Mother Honda had very acute hearing from its "fan/rider base"! Seems that everything current owners said were/was "lacking" in the F6B/Wing has been addressed and added to the new models! Starting with a 24 Valve Flat Six to ABS, a six speed trans and what appears to be a great front fork design, Honda Engineers did their "homework".

    Having a "Limited Edition RED 2013" I'm beginning to get the feeling it may be time to consider a new18

    So the F6B is now renamed as the Goldwing for 2018

    AND the Past full Goldwing is now the Goldwing TOUR for 2018
    Maybe that was the reference in the teaser video. The original GL1000 Gold Wing was not a "tour" bike.

    Really nice bikes....there are so many upgrades it just might be prudent to wait a model year. If it's a runaway hit there's next year. If it's a dud (which I doubt) there will be deals.
    I guess we own the "classic" now...
