Goldwings!!!

[Capitano]

Before we start, I do realise that I'm setting myself up for a mighty pisstake here.

I'm seriously considering buying a Goldwing!

I'd like a late version of the old 1500, but if I could run to an 1800 I would possibly go for it.

I have some history, having owned a very nice 1500 Valkyrie some years ago, but as far as proper Wings go, I'm a novice.

Tips, genuine advice and experience are welcome. Pisstaking is, alas, inevitable!

As the Dutch would say,,,Nay, nay nay.....

Well at least it's not a Harley.............

They are no bad motorcycles anyway no matter how's much bling they can carry.

Lovely, Go for it!

It'll be a bit tricky finding room for the auxillary fuel tank.

A great ride though, go on, you know you want one.

It'd be a bugger trying to remember which part of the luggage space I put it in!

...and that can be regarded as LOW mileage.

I have worked on both well over the years almost all versions !

I think the 1800 is a much better bike alley frame and swing are and the rear brake while still a pain to get to is easer and better Shared system with the ST1300

I prefer riding the 1800 feel planted and surprising quick

So there is your answer Capitano...what are you waiting for?

I like the fact members have a nice array of different bikes. The Goldwing is certainly a fascinating bike! Would you keep the W800?

GL500 Silverwing interstate.All the comfort of a wing but the handling of a CX500 .

I'm not convinced this would be a recommendation......
