That's a BIG bad boy. Nice bike.

My Uncle just got one... Wow, all I can say is WOW.

Amazing bike, but I'd be scared to even take it off the kickstand, it weighs a 1/2 ton.

My brother-inlaw picked one up 3 weeks ago. Nice bike for $35,000.00 cnd. It's like a car on 2 wheels.

I would like to give one a go.And have one in my garage for Touring duties.

.Would have to have something a bit more sporty aswell though. I think this latest model looks the best they have ever looked.

I had that bike's great-grand-daddy years ago, a 1976 GL 1000. Maybe I'll eventually come full-circle and retire on one of those, just me and my wife - exploring whatever road looks most inviting.

My dads had the 1200 and now has the 1500, but I've followed the 1800 on a twisty stretch of road through the mountains and they are far more limber than they look. Maybe when I get old....

I know there have been rumors that havent panned out, but it seems that the only thing the 'Wing doesnt have is an automatic tranny. I wonder if the cycling community would reject an auto, ya know, its not traditional, etc.

I think I dont have a preference either way...

Hey-Good news! Its not raining today (Its Oregon, after all) I may have to fill the tank and go to the grocery store...

Man, shifting is probably the only thing that keeps you awake in those nice big comfy seats.

Some people, such as myself, consider that a bad thing. I despise Gold wings.
