    539,773 Miles on a Goldwing


    2002 Goldwing traded for a 2015 in OHIO

    History chart at the dealer ....
    Our F6B's come from a well tested platform

    Only wish I had the time to ride. I knew about Gold Wings reputation but didn't like the full wing. When my buddy complained that Honda had "messed it up" I took a look at what he was talking about and knew at first look that I would have one.
    Gold Wing reliability and styling like they had read my mind.
    Before that I was looking for Gold Wings that had had the body messed up so I could chop it.Honda took care of that !!
    Time and gas,tire and oil money. All I need is time.
    Did I mention I LOVE this bike ?

    You and me both! Didn't want a "full" Wing, saw this and said "Yup."
    Now, I need time also.....

    That is impressive, however the Goldwing engine "has never been touched"

    WHAT????

    How can he get 30,000 miles out of a rear tire? I have run the E3 on my Valk and best is 12,000. And 50,000 on the front? Best I can get is around 20,000. I have just over 11,000 on my F6B and already need a new rear tire. I do not use the rear brake very much except when REALLY needed. Could it be the acceleration ? I mean, I make the bike go, I don't wuss around with it but I am not drag racing it either. Just don't know how he gets that kind of mileage out of tires.
