RE: 2018 Gold Wing
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.

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

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