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

[Chrisj CMA]

I like it way more than the original F6B

[old2soon]

I M H O-Still Too much Tupperware. Seem to be showin a bit more of the mechanical side but STILL a long ways to go. AND What will be the new price point if this are it? RIDE SAFE.

[JimC]

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.

[Dave Ritsema]

I am liking it too!

It has my interest.

I'm a fan of the front fork engineering, single mono tube suspension on the front and back. No more blown fork seals from wheelie popping

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.

LOL!  Age is not always chronological.  I should have said good old friends.

All right, just making sure.

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.

real? fake? ?????

Hmmm... I just noticed something...

This one appears to have a clutch handl:



However, this one does NOT appear to have one:



So looks like the rumors of an automatic might be true... (Insert standard disclaimers here)

[Serk]

Looks real to me...

Hey now, I resemble that remark! Don't make me hold your purse up high out of reach! Ya' know, like shoulder level...

Initial reports of test rides on the GL1800 site mentioned the DTC would be offered on the Goldwing only while the F6B would have a 6 speed manual.

Looks to be the opposite if these photos are legit. I guess we will find out Oct 24th.

[Reb]

Is it just me or does the Speedometer go from 120 back to 100 or is that the mathematical symbol for infinity?

[Beardo]

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.

That would be a 130.

Folks 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.

[ptgb]

On its face, I really.... really like it. Looks as if they narrowed it down and made it more "sport tourer-y".

Hmmmm.... the perfect retirement gift????

Uh , what if. listen to me now. just what if the new Gold Wing features a removable trunk? UHHH I know it has been a very repeated "WISH" item on many of the forums. If Honda was paying attention.

The more times you strip an ST the quicker it gets. I could completely strip one in about 15/20 minutes.
