Check out their website. Some exciting, and expensive, things are coming our way in the world of motorcycling touring. I had a 1999 GL1500, and a 2001 GL1800, 2 of the best bikes I ever owned. Would love to own one of these new ones . . . but can't imagine when I will ever have the cash to do so. My daughter's college fund, paying off the mortgage, and saving for retirement, are all ahead of it on the list of priorities.

Maybe a used one in 5 or 10 years!

The base model is almost the same price as my new CR-V lol.

I don't think I could ever justify spending that much on a second motorcycle (not getting rid of the CBS).

Honda Canada has posted prices for the 2018 [url=http://motorcycle.honda.ca/category/touring]Gold Wing

They start at $27K with no trunk.
$30.8K with trunk.
$32K with DCT.
$34.6 with DCT and Airbag.

I could buy a lightly used BMW convertible for the cheapest model.

I owned a 1982 Goldwing Aspencade. The boss referred to it as the "Cadillac of Motorcycles" and I would agree. But she is no longer interested in motorcycles. So someone as tight as me would have a tough time spending that kind of money on a motorcycle that I would use for day trips on the back roads.

Having said that, I spent a few minutes after breakfast on the road talking to a owner of a new Goldwing. I left minutes before him, but he whistled by me on the highway sitting behind a big windscreen, on a comfortable seat, probably listing to his favourite tunes instead of wind noise. I was green with envy clinging white knuckled to the handle grips and flapping in the wind like flag in a hurricane. OK, I exaggerated slightly, but you get my drift.
