    I just read that the new Honda Goldwing has screw and locknut adjusters for their unicam valve train? Supposedly makes it easier for the do-it-yourselfer?

    That's a game changer for me. I hate the shim bucket type valve adjustments...

    I believe that it's just the exhaust side. The intakes are still shimmed and the recommended service went to 24k vs 32k. I think the Revzilla review mentions it.

    Well crap. If that's true then it's not a game changer

    I haven't bought yet but for me I don't see the advantage of buying a new model vs a 2016. Did they make a 2017 or just went right to the 2018's? In any event I'm thinking by summer or earlier a 2016 will be had in the fourteens as they are in the fifteens as we speak. Lots then left for upgrades and still won't get anywhere near the price of a new one. I also like the look of the older bikes better. Just my two cents.
