Looks like Honda is bringing some game with them. How about that front suspension?

AIMExpo is this weekend in Columbus. I thought about going but the ride up across the Ohio flatlands is the worst no matter by car or bike. It's going to be super nice weather this weekend, even a bit hot actually. I'm looking forward to spending it outside closer to home.

NICE, thanks for sharing

....would LOVE if it came naked/classic/simple like CB without all these electronic gizmos .... then my '13 CB could have a sister...under one roof...

Whoa!!! That bike could grow on me, I mean, I like classic looks and all, but that look seems to grab from the past while screaming towards the future at the same time!

I was trying to figure out where I'd seen that single strut front fork on the Goldwing pics. Then I realized that's the same setup typically used on light aircraft nosewheels for the last 70 years.

 

[alprider]

bmw has it since any years....

 

[alprider]

And the springerfork is somehow something between

It's here! The official reveal is streaming on Hondas Facebook right now.

2018 Honda Gold Wing does more with less

The styling is... interesting. Lots of hard edges and angles, vs. organic. Not exactly my cuppa but I'm not the target demographic. I'm sure it'll sell like hot cakes.

Wish there was some details seat height, weight, displacement, # transmission gears, etc

Ferret, lots of details are available if you Google the bike. Optional 7-speed DCT ($1000), ApplePlay, 90 lbs lighter than last year, etc,

Motorcycledaily.com has a nice feature on it with video. Looks like a nice piece to me. Wonder if I am big enough to hold one up lol

 

[DocRid_imp]

No black color?

 

[alprider]

[emptysea]

Narrower and lighter. Up to date, if not innovative, technology. Intriguing. Might have to test ride one.
