However, as I move toward retirement, I could see myself on one. I very much like the new style and colors. The list of options keeps growing, I like that. I also like how integrated everything is. I could see myself touring Europe on one. I am not currently a GW rider. However, as I move toward retirement, I could see myself on one. I very much like the new style and colors.

I've owned 1- GL1100I and 2- GL1500's and I have to say Honda I'm disappointed in the 2012. What change the bags throw on new lowers and some new electrical goodies? I guess I will be shopping elsewhere. :-( Well the wait is over. I’ve owned 1- GL1100I and 2- GL1500′s and I have to say Honda I’m disappointed in the 2012.

Honda no longer competes with H-D in the luxo tourer category. It competes with the new BMW K1600GT and K1600GTL. ...Who comprehensively p{ss on Hondas chips. Sorry Honda: a day late, a dollar short. Game changer has arrived, and you missed the boat. The BeeEmm is 5 large cheaper in the European market. That's Honda buggered... Oh oh, the point is missed.

Sorry Honda: a day late, a dollar short. Game changer has arrived, and you missed the boat. The BeeEmm is 5 large cheaper in the European market. That’s Honda buggered…

As great as Gold Wings are, they really do miss the point of what tour riding in the US is all about. They are smooth, powerful, and efficient but they do almost nothing for the soul! They are Accords on two wheels. The Harleys can't hold a candle to much of what a Gold Wing does but the build, the chrome, the fabulous paint - all that stuff that needs to be constantly polished is a pain and yet a love thing at the same time. A bike in this class should not only be efficient it must feed the soul! The Gold Wing is world class vanilla pudding.By the way I do love Honda machines, I have three Honda ATVs right now and would not own anything else. I was really hoping for something much more.

I have an 03 made in the U.S. I'll keep it For now since the new wings are now made in Japan. Sorry! but we need the help now and when I replace my wing It'll be a new Victory cross country , Also made in the U.S. It took them 12 years to come up with the same old wing.
