|

Honda decided to fit their flag ship touring motorcycle with a front aluminium alloy swing arm, with electronic adjustment (the speculation has it, we can expect automatic adjustment based on the road condition). Something we've seen in the 90's (Yamaha GTS1000) and even earlier (way earlier - MZ, BMW...). Except the electronic part, obviously.
You can have it with a 7 speed DCT or the classic manual gearbox. Reverse gear present. There's also the latest ABS and TCS which now should work even when cornering.
The rest of the features stays pretty much the same, or at least there's no info about anything new.

I like it, and I bet it will be nigh on unbeatable in its class.
It'll probably ride like the smoothest silky carpet covered in creamy galaxy bars too! I'd have a go on one as an interesting curiosity that's off nearly all bikers radars in these parts. A smooth six pot engine must be a nice place to be on top of too.
But the joker that mentioned the 1900 Venture Yamaha. Fuck me you need some serious eye sight correction. How could such an almost Hardly Ableson replica even hope to be a spunk stain on the Goldwings garage wall? It's one of bikings most famous, most loved, followed and iconic models of the last 100years. You don't just buy into that with a dressed up V-twin and some luggage and leather. |

Looking at that line drawing, there really is quite a lot going on there.
Still it's good to see something a bit different once in a while, and it does give the expectation of a very smooth ride. I've heard the Goldwing likened to a giant scooter. Kinda fancy a go on one. |
