  • The only way to go!
    By  (I am an Owner) on Aug 06, 2011

    After my first two Goldwings,'84 & '03 I got "the Harley Bug". I traded for an '05 Classic. My wife & I rode it out west and she almost had me take her to the nearest airpot to go back home. It was uncomfortable, had trouble handling the mountains (we had to ship one of our bags home)and I broke ...

    The day following our arrival back home I traded for an '08 Wing and have never been happier. I'm a Winger for life.

  • They just keep getting better
    By  (I am an Owner) on Mar 26, 2010

    I have a 2008 Honda Gold Wing, it is 2 years old and I have 20,100 miles on it to date. This is my 6th Gold Wing and the best one yet. Each one is better than the one before. The combination of power, smoothness, comfort, easy of handling, reliability, quietness, factory features, and dealer network ...

  • First Goldwing owner
    By  (I am an Owner) on Jan 11, 2010

    Bought my Wing new last spring. Now have amassed almost 7,000 miles, touring and short city driving. Have had nothing but comfortable rides all the way. Would not own anything else but my Wing. have had other bikes in past, but nothing compares.

  • Get on it and go
    By  (I am an Owner) on Dec 17, 2008

    Bought a new GW last April (2008) Had

    Harley's for years, last being a 2002

    Ultra Classic. I took the Harley on a 8 week North American Tour I had 2 major

    mechanical issues that kept me at HD

    dealerships for days. This Summer I took the GW from Florida to Nova Scotia, ...

    and 2 trips to New England. The GW is

    faster,smoother, much more comfortable,

    has a greater range, easier to keep clean, and most of all, maintainence costs are much cheaper than HD scheduled

    services. Storage capacity and passenger

    comfort are also a plus. If you are planning a long ride(s) in the future,

    this is the machine. Cops are cracking

    down on loud pipes (especially at Daytona events) Not a concern here. I

    give this machine an A+.Dealer options

    are expensive to add on so be sure you

    get the bike how you want it
