4.6L/100km is really quite good for a mammoth like the GW, ... maybe not unlike the Honda Fit (or "Jazz" in Europe).
So, in your test ride you believe the GW is more sport-like compared to previous generations?
I took one for a test ride Feb/March a year ago. Although sportier than previous iterations of 1800cc Goldwings it is still too much tour and not enough sport to even put sport in it's description. Sure it's got loads of power, and a pretty agile beast for nearly 900 pounds, but it's still nearly 900 pounds. Plus you sit straight up. Just cause it holds less fuel and luggage doesn't make it much sportier imo. Plus it's speed limited to 112 mph like our CB's. HA!
Forum member Razor has one, maybe he will see this and comment.

Lash has one as well, red
goldoxide
well of course she is sportyer than the old one bcos she has more lean angle....
the engine likes more to turn and i meant he pulls to some easier..but now with 7gears are the steps from gear to gear too much finer.....i have it never checked but i think the range from 1 to 7 gear is not that much wider as befor 1-5 gear....and so far i have it in my mind is the power of the engine the same.....
