I recently purchased a used \wing. I wanted to take it to my local dealer for service and inspection. Nothing out of the ordinary, just what the HONDA manual said it should get at this service interval.
Upon arrivalI was told that my bike would not be serviced because it was too old!!! I was blown away! I have been a loyal Honda buyer practicly ALL MY LIFE. My first machine was a 1978 CB125 S model and have owned dozens of them since. The purchase of this wing was my first big tour bike and for that what else would you buy BUT a HONDA GOLDWING?
Well in shock I started to call around to the other Honda dealers in my area, these included Honda of North Little Rock, Richards Honda Yamaha, and EVEN the NUMBER ONE HONDA DEALER IN THE STATE Sunrise Honda. NONE of them will do normal maintanance or tires or even a freakin OIL CHANGE on my wing.
SoI finally found a place in Conway AR, that will do the prescribed work on my wing, but here is my question and suggestion for HONDAS GOLDWING TEAM... shouldn't you stand behind what you sell? I have always bought Honda, but you know what? I will never buy another one. I do not like having to go to some "shop" instead of my AUTHORIZED Hionda service center to get normal maintanance done. I guess my dad was right all those years when he told me to BUY AMERICAN.
This is the firt time in my lifeI have regretted buying a Honda motorcycle, I love my wing I really do, but now I have to worry about getting it worked on and if it is safe because some shade tree machanic at some "shop" had to work onit instead of the people I had put my trust in when I bought A HONDA.
Never again.
