If that's it, I will be very disappointed. Looks almost the same to me.

I think it looks better,
Shows more motor, carb covers, and exhaust.
I can see a lot of options for bling to dress it up.
BUT with that said, after what is probably going to be considerable sticker shock, how any buyers would have anything left over for bling?

I think it looks awesome. As I recall gold wings are known for their Tupperware. And the gadgets. For all those folks not wanting that stuff there is our Valks.

Now if they could just add a few inches in the middle somewhere so taller riders can fit without having their hips, knees, and ankles bent at negative angles.

Taller riders are freaks of nature. Nothing should be done to encourage this sort of genetic misapplication. Perhaps we should be seeking ways to surgically reverse the error of height rather than insist that the whole world take measures to address the handicap.  I don't like it, but then I'm just not old enough yet to be ready for a wing. I have old friends who are and I have no problem with that. I do occasionally ride in or drive a Civic.  |

For those of us that know and have met and ridden with Carl his view on the height issue Might be a Bit jaundiced!  BUT I has been not correct before!  AND rekemember-he ain't short-the way ya say dat now is-height disadvantaged. And Carl-us malformed types will Still ride with ya! RIDE SAFE. |

It goes back to the age old question - Do you get a 'Wing because you got old, or do you get old because you got a 'Wing?  Interesting changes I see so far. Looks like, but not for me. I can't stand spending 2 hours of tupperware removal to do 5 minutes of work on the spousal unit's ST1300, can't see this being any different. |

Liking that you can see more of the engine and a little of the exhaust headers...would be even more prominent if I had my way. One of the nicest things about the Valk IMO is those beautiful headers curving out from below.
Still too much plastic, but less than the previous 17 years, so that's good.

Anyone read Chinese https://www.moto7.net/2017/09/2018-honda-goldwing.htmlFolks on forums are saying Honda VP Marketing is asking where pics leaked from. Peoples facebooks pics of these Goldwing Pics are disappearing. The new Yamaha Venture was played up for months with the Journey adds. Could Honda be doing them one better? Is Honda this clever? One thing for sure the interest is intensifying. |
