RE: 2018 Gold Wing
My friend who owns my nearby Honda dealership is (or was) in Texas test riding the new Wings. He loves them, but then he is in the business of loving Honda products. He will have new Wings in his showroom this starting on February 2nd. I may have to check them out.

I wasn’t in Texas, but heard it was quite the event. Many of the new and some 2017 models were available for comparison & rides. Honda set up displays of the new Wing in various stages of assembly, showing the main features.

Fred Harmon was there with his wife. He did a nice review. Here’s a link to his write up.

RE: 2018 Gold Wing
It is a very nice looking bike. There is a distinct ST1300 look to it but perhaps it is a nod to a familial look sort of like BMW cars kidney grill. I have heard a lot of complaining that luggage capacity has been reduced from 140 to 110 liters and that it is almost impossible to fit two helmets in the top box. I don't get that. If i want to use the top for helmet storage when I am off the bike it would mean I have to travel with the top box empty. Seems like a waste. Finally, if you can't find enough room in 110 liters (30 gallons) then you need to learn to pack a bit lighter.

Just my humble opinion.

RE: 2018 Gold Wing
Razor read the review. Pretty thorough, although you can see there were still a lot of questions afterwards. Interesting that the new 1800cc 6 cylinder touring bike is electronically speed limited to 112 mph/180kph. Sound familiar?
