2006 Honda Goldwing Review

The 2006 Goldwing is my 30th motorcycle and I have been riding for 50 years and logged over 600K miles. The Goldwing has no peers when it comes to 1 or two up touring. I love everything about the bike including the built in NAV and ABS brakes which I will not live without again.

Spec...ific dislikes are the price for accessories; the high cost of repairs; and poor handling at 1-2 mph. It is like turning a coal barge at near stop and if you are not careful, is not hard to drop!! At any speed above 2 mph, it handles like a feather!
In two years, I have put 48K miles on the bike and love it. Read Full Review

2006 Goldwing Airbag Model

Hello,



I believe I may have purchased one of the only 2006 Goldwing "Level 5" Airbag models in the Oklahoma City Metro Area. I bought this bike in early December 2006. I feel I got a good deal on the price as this one had sat on the showroom floor for several months. I don't think ve...ry many potential buyers were willing to spend the extra money for the airbag option.

I am 38 and have been riding since I was 8 years old in one form or another. In the past 3 years I have owned a Vulcan 1500 Classic, a Suzuki DL1000 V-Strom, a BMW K1200GT, and a Suzuki C109RT. Throughout all these other rides, the Goldwing has set and still maintained the standard. The Goldwing has it all: the best ergonomics, the best wind protection, the best amenities, and much more. I have to admit the BMW K1200GT was an absolute riot, but when forced to choose between it and the Goldwing I stayed with the Wing.

I do feel safer with the airbag option as well. To me, the bike is state of the art in safety, and it still rides and handles like a big sports bike.

It is a winner!
Thanks, Brian Read Full Review
