    Three-wheel leaning Wing patented

    Okay . . . this is kinda interesting. Honda definitely looking ahead to keeping older riders in the fold.

    A guy out of Washington state, Tilting Motor Works, has one that's the same thing. 2 types, regular one (like Honda's) for $9900.oo or upgrade to the one that auto stands up straight, when you stop for another $2-3k. Prices + TMW dealer labor install. He makes them for HD & Wings. He has a nice U-Tube w/ Jay Leno & owner on HD's. There was a 6-8 month waiting list.

    If this comes out, Max at Traxxion Dynamics will either have a stroke, or will have 300 new replacement parts for it within 3 months.

    That thing look hideous to me. Why are all the bike makers going full "Transformers" on everything? Hard rigid lines, sharp angles, pointy bits everywhere. I dont get it.

    Also, just wanted to point out something I just noticed. It only has 4 cylinders? I only see two header tubes in the second to last picture.

    I agree on the 'modern' styling. I think the old GL1800 was a timeless design, as it still looks good nearly 20 years later. The F6B is even better. I've been surprised how often someone will look at mine and ask 'is that the new Goldwing?'

    The ONLY reason to have those jagged edges is for radar reflection dissipation.
    Stealth fighter styling.....
    I wonder if it works?
    The styling looks like a giant alien insect with pincers.
    Not my scene.

    4 cylinders - concur.
    Too much torque might give that thing stability issues.

    Of course, I shall test ride it when it becomes available....lol

    somebody asked me that the other day. Then he was floored when I told him it was a 2013.

    I assume they're making the 3 wheel deal is for us older folks that want to ride, but have a little trouble holding the bike upright. I like the 3 wheel idea that leans in turns, like a regular bike. In the video Jay Leno & they owner of Tilting Motor Works, were laying those HD's over pretty good. Yamaha has one too.

    Yamaha has a real one, not just a rendering.
