[​IMG] Honda History has been made

No other time in the History of the Goldwing, has Honda Corporation shown a new version of a new Goldwing to the buying public.

To make this even more special, under 30 chosen few got to not only see the New Goldwing & F6B. But actually got invited to test ride the new bikes, at a secret location owned by Honda.

This was the only viewing & Test ride in the USA. (My friend was part of history)

The Consensus was overwhelming in the Positive.

Both bikes were rebuilt from the ground up.

Both bikes share the same engine.

The Flagship is a DCT 7 speed.(can be manually paddle shifted)

The F6B is a manual 6 speed transmission (Still a stripped down wing)

ECM (now a central computer) has different modes of operation. (I won't say how many)

Suspension also has different modes. (I won't say how many)

Engine is a totally new power plant. (That info was kept confidential).

All new bodywork.

LED Lighting front to rear.

80 pounds lighter.

Without getting to in depth about each and every item Honda has created in this all new bike.

I will say that to describe the look and features is in a word. "Radical".

Maybe a new Valkyrie ?

If the pictures on the web that I have seen then I am not impressed.  Maybe it will be nicer in person.  Kinda reminds me of a Can Am Spyder RT with only one front wheel.

So, how come you won't say? Afraid the black helicopters will land in your back yard? 

The DCT is way cool, I had a 2012 NC700X with DCT, I knew this trans would wind up in a Goldwing.
