Seen 1 just like it drive right in front of me at a stop light. At first I thought it was a new variation Harley till I looked at the engine. I knew, I knew in a heartbeat it was a Gold Wing.

They dropped the F6B moniker a few years back. Now that model is just the Goldwing, and with the trunk they call it the Goldwing Tour.

So what's your opinion? Yea or nay ?

 

[RambozoClown]

I have to admit that it looks pretty cool. However, I have found bikes with just saddlebags, while they look good, are a pain to carry stuff, like helmets, groceries, etc. Versus bikes with just a trunk, that look goofy as hell, but are great for transporting items. So I would go for the Goldwing tour model for sure.

It's missing more than just the trunk.

If memory serves, also the center stand, reverse and maybe even cruise control.

Well the whole thing in a nut shell is to do a transformation to my '86. I'm also in the process of doing a paint over of the fairing, body panels, and bags to more visible higher intensity color other than black.

I like it.

I would want a center stand for turn arounds, and I'd like a removable travel trunk so the bike could go from bagger to tourer easily. I might would use reverse.

But, I'm off two wheelers for good I think.

I've seen some done really well …

The 2019 goldwing has all those things I think, the former F6B did not.

 

[RambozoClown]

All DCT models have reverse, manual trans on the non-tour doesn't. Tour also has the electronic adjustable suspension. I don't see a center stand in the photos, but Honda doesn't mention it, except on the tour model. Cruise is on both.

I took a Demo ride on a 2018 DCT, I would like to own one in a heart beat. If I was not so old, I could not ride it long enough to get my money's worth out of it. The new model Goldwings are works of art and I don't care how big the Saddle bags are I could get by with them. The bike was a dream to ride and handled like a rocket. JMO Smooth as silk.
