#1024524 cike (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 3234 2018 goldwing new design 3 Months, 4 Weeks ago   so what do you think? I don't care for the look of the rear luggage but otherwise I like the look. I like the standard goldwing (F6B look) better. I also don't see a place (yet) t mount highway pegs. Lots of improvements and almost 100 pounds lighter. Edit: ok sorry, I guess I don't know how to post videos. who can help? here is the link. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ufzzFCAtLT4   Logged     Last Edit: 2017/10/26 18:43 By cike.   owning a motorcycles not a matter of life or death, its much more important than that   The administrator has disabled public write access. #1024525 ctkog (User) Expert Boarder Posts: 523 Re:2018 goldwing new design 3 Months, 4 Weeks ago     Logged     ---------- NOTHING STRAIGHTENS MY HEAD OUT BETTER THAN AN ENTIRELY CROOKED ROAD-----------   The administrator has disabled public write access. #1024533 Roadierob (User) Expert Boarder Posts: 501 Re:2018 goldwing new design 3 Months, 4 Weeks ago   I think I like the look of my previous F6B Model myself   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #1024539 RemZac (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 1804 Re:2018 goldwing new design 3 Months, 4 Weeks ago   There are pros and cons to the refresh.   Logged     2014 Indian Chieftain, Indian red.   The administrator has disabled public write access. #1024543 Engineman (User) U.S.S.

(User) Junior Boarder Posts: 135 Re:2018 goldwing new design 3 Months, 4 Weeks ago   http://www.hondaprokevin.com/2018-honda-gold-wing-tour-review-specs-changes-touring-motorcycle-dct-automatic-bike The all-new engine uses four valves per cylinder in pent-roof-type combustion chambers for improved combustion efficiency, but still weighs 13.7 lbs. less (6.2 kg) than the outgoing power plant, when equipped with Honda’s six-speed manual transmission. Intake valves measure 27mm, whereas exhaust valves are 24mm. For added weight reduction, cylinder sleeves are now made from aluminum, the camshaft is manufactured from FCD600M, a lightweight, high-strength material, and water-cooling routes have been simplified and lightened by repositioning the thermostat. All this helps to create a package that is significantly more compact and performance-minded on the road, with a greatly improved power-to-weight ratio. Huh Aluminum Cylinder sleeves? Sounds like the next Chevy Vega,we all know how well that worked out.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #1024549 boomerA (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 1197 Re:2018 goldwing new design 3 Months, 4 Weeks ago   I dunno 'bout these new bikes comin' out. Seems to me that you'll be spending more time removin' and re-installin' plastic body panels than doin' regular maintenance. God help you if you have a 'casualty' while on the road!   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #1024640 BikerRon (User) Sour Kraut Platinum Boarder Posts: 4189 Re:2018 goldwing new design 3 Months, 3 Weeks ago   Bet that 7 speed DCT really adds to the cost.   Logged     ' width='450' border='0' style='max-width:450px; ' />   The administrator has disabled public write access. #1024656 smokescreens (User) lifes better riding twins Platinum Boarder Posts: 17430 Re:2018 goldwing new design 3 Months, 3 Weeks ago   I like it but i still am clinging onto my outdated and underpowered v twins. A single pin V twins sound move my soul and that v6 would move my body. It would be nice to have all that power on tap however.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #1024657 Deerkiller (User) I just made this great wheelie...did you see it? Platinum Boarder Posts: 7151 Re:2018 goldwing new design 3 Months, 3 Weeks ago   Like anything, I want to see one in person before I make any solid conclusions. The DCT does not really add as much as I thought it would to the cost. Even though that would definitely be the fastest way to shift, I still prefer my manual trans bikes. 6 gears (finally!). Can’t believe that hasn’t been done years ago. Cruising at high speeds, my bike runs way higher RPM’s than I like. Less storage capacity than the old Wing. Don’t love that. More power is always nice, along with significant weight savings Interesting front suspension too   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access.
