New Goldwing ?

[STR8UP]

I would like a view from the back to see if they changed the shape of the lights on the top case to finally match the style of the lower lights...right now it looks like an old case added to a new bike. The dashboard and gauges would be something I would like to see. The front suspension looks kinda weird. I owned a few Beemers the suspension components were hidden well inside the cowl. The front suspension is the only thing I miss from my K1200GT although replacing 2 ball joints was quite expensive.

Actually resembles the much older "Earles" type fork. Telelever and Duolever are the the more recent iterations of their "anti-dive" forks. The Earles fork (a leading link design) has rigid fork tubes that curve to the rear of the wheel, with a pivot at the end supporting a horizontal fork element holding the wheel and the spring/shock element which is then connected to the top of the fork tube. The Rune (and other older bikes) have used a similar design but in a "trailing link" configuration.

The Telelever has ball joints at the top where the fork tubes connect to the upper "triple tree", and then the a horizontal arm from the top of the sliding fork component that goes rearward to a pivot way back on the motor/frame. Their much touted "Duolever" is a takeoff from the "girder" type fork used on several makes including Indian, Vincent and Arial models." BMW's design refines the girder fork by separating the steering forces from the suspension forces (according to their marketing information).

The original magazine photo that vmaxed posted is NOT the same as the unsub posted !!!!!!!

The picture of the Wing with the leading link front suspension was a photo shopped picture that was in Rider magazine months ago of what Honda had patent on. Not to say it isn't going to be on a wing, just that it doesn't seem to be on the wing on the cover of the Japanese Magazine in the original post.

Look closer at the Wing in the Blue Circle in the first post and you see what looks to be the same front suspension we already have.

Good point. At first glance in the picture I posted it seemed to me that whoever did the render striped away the body work to reveal what the mechanics would look like underneath. Clearly I didn't do any research and just grabbed the 1st clear pic I came across.

Maybe there is someone in the know around here that can post a genuine picture?
