Is The Honda Goldwing Being Discontinued? | Cruiseman's Garage 

I bought my Goldwing in 1986 and it is still running great, just had it inspected for the annual state inspection and it passed with no problem, I have been riding this one bike for 36 years now and plan to keep riding as long as I can, I am 75 years old now and still love my 1986 Wing.

You hit the nail on the head. The only thing other than what you said. I wish the saddle bags were a wee bit bigger to go along with the larger trunk.

I think the Goldwing’s will remain relatively the same until maybe 2025 when the 50th anniversary model is introduced

Hey CM, here in Australia we also have supply issues with the 2022 GW, some reports of people waiting 10 months or more. Agree with your wish list but would also like to see blind spot monitoring as the Triumph Tiger already has. Enjoy your videos, keep them coming!

Hi Chris: here's my points to add to your list: Improve parking brake on DCT - electronic lock? ; Air filter replacement in less than four hours; Included Homelink...

Chris, everything you talked about is right on. We should be able to ask for all the options you mention. Yes it will in fact drive up the price ,But, make some of them as plug and play add ons. Thanks for this update. And NO goldwing is NOT going anywhere. Mike/turtle

Side lighting would be a nice standard safety feature aswell as cargo box lighting standard.

Hi Chris, So I have a 2019 DCT touring. I did notice my wireless headset had to connect in a certain order. Make sure your phones bluetooth is off first. 1 connect the wireless headset to goldwing audio system. When connected. Then plug in the android cell phone. Then turn on the Bluetooth on cell phone. For some reason that always works for me. If you ever go out of sequence you can also go straight to audio settings then manually select Bluetooth headset and that also works for me as well. Hope this helps some of your viewers.

Good points. I have my final retirement bike, 2005 Goldwing. My wife is riding her 2009 Vulcan 900. We will not spend the money on new to us bikes, unless my rich uncle gets out of the poor house. EV stuff will change many times with technology innovations. Goldwing is the King to me. You are spot on with “who would want a 100 mile touring bike. Thanks

Great video, Below a couple of things I like to see on newer models • Hornbutton for me is muscle training, but can be redesigned • Full screen LCD like the 2022 BMW k1600 gtl, customizable of course • I do like a built in GPS, but with internet connectivity for weather, traffic, fuel prices etc. • Intercom system for rider and passenger. Also the option to share phone calls. • Passenger controls, so they can pick what they want to listen to, and adjust volume • Better seat. Adjustable • Volt meter, oil temp, trans temp • Redesign the filler for the fuel tank • Automatic suspension adjustment • Wireless CP/AA, wireless charging • Blindspot monitoring • Adaptive Cruise control

Let's continue with the following: 1. Standard 12V plug. 2. Home link standard. 3. Better option for highway pegs, and mounting position. 4. Espresso dispenser

Honda will put all the trike builders out of business if they drop the Goldwing, and trikes are a sizeable chunk of Goldwings out there, in the US in particular. The waiting list for a conversion is 10 months in some places. You are right, demand is a big part of the problem, and parts supply shortages contribute to not just motorcycles. I think if people can be patient and Honda doesn't make an irrational decision we should be seeing new Goldwings in the future as well. Heck, it's their flagship product - they would be mad to discontinue it without announcing a replacement.

I think you nailed it. My chime in would be better tip over protection added to your list.

The Honda goldwing will never go away or go away it is an incredible motorcycle. My best friend Lloyd bought one in late 75 it was great fun to ride. No faring or anything else on the bike. We had guys riding Honda's Norton's Kawasaki's Harley's Triumphs and Moto Guzzi bikes. Goodwings will never be out of Honda's catalog.

They need to make Homelink as a standard feature. I still want the Nav built in because if you have no signal on your phone then it acts as a backup. I do use CarPlay but would like to be able to use it WITHOUT a headset specifically for Apple Maps and to use the built in speakers the GW has.

Nice work here Cruiseman. I think you liked some things about that K-bike. I surely hope that Honda will see their way to continue building their venerable flagship and further that they pay heed to all of your requests!

I bought my 2018 in 2019 best Goldwing ever. This makes my 6th GW. I started with a 1985 1200cc in 2007, and began upgrading with used later models until I bought my first new one 2016

Mister, Hi from Istanbul ! The legends never die, so do Goldwing 🔥🔥🔥

The 6Gen Goldwing's front suspension is not "REVOLUTIONARY". It's merely a varient of Norman Hossacks patented design later purchased by BMW and promoted by BMW as 'Duo-Lever'. This design defies both unsettling front wheel 'Brake-dive' under ALL breaking as well as low-speed bump-steer in those natural ground or distressed, pot-hole addled parking lot situations. This suspension also does away with traditional 'steering stem' bearings and their need to be 'frequently' replaced in 500+lb motorcycles.

Changes to future GW’s - automatic parking brake release, touch screen info, top loading saddle bags/removable, garmin based gps with on route programing capabilities (ie. nearest gas station on my route, weather).

I have a 2009. Can’t believe they haven’t in all these years haven’t come up with a better air filter change system. The best bike ever for what it’s designed for but the process to change an air filter is ridiculous.

On the next I'd like to see the cruise control set on the left, digital speed on the dashboard, both tyre pressure at the same time, a switch to set the engine speed for changing gears. Lateral fog lights. Ciao Cruiseman

I think for 2023 there will only be DCT models. Goldwing's are just that, "gold" for Honda. I have 3 wings in my garage right now. I would consider selling two of them and replacing them with a new(er) Wing..

Hey Chris, I agree with your improvements suggestions. Here's a few things I would like; 1- Mic off switch. kill wind noise when connected. 2 - Both you & passenger able to connect to the bike systems(radio). 3 - Better lite handle bar controls buttons 4 - Locks for all compartments. 5 - bigger horn button. Keep your vids coming.

CM, from a Harley Guy, but I started out on a Honda in 1969. I knew that I'd get the straight scoop from The Cruise Man. Great work.

Definitely the horn button is a safety issue. Twice I had to take the shoulder because another car wanted to share the lane I was in. I had to have hit everything but the horn trying to find it.

Shane O'Dwyer There is no doubt in my opinion that the supply chain issue is the main reason the rumour mill is hot on no more Honda Goldwings. I ordered my Goldwing in March 2021 and received a 2022 model in July. This was purely due to shortages of about everything related to COVID and parts. Because I'm from Australia we are usually the last in the pecking order. Good things come to those who are patient.

Goldwing tour in Australia start at $53,850 AUD !! Sadly maybe this is a big reason why we don't see many on the roads here

This is a wonderful video you've put together. While I'm not yet a GW owner/rider...yet, I'm certainly in love with the GW, especially the DCT-Tour. Recently I've come across two problems that unsuspecting GW riders have been contending with and I want to know if Honda can mitigate these two problems through future design modifications. Problem number one is the eventual premature failure of the DCT clutch system experienced by riders who continuously ride the GW DCT-Tour at low enough speeds to have the clutch engage/disengage (and what lies in between this) actuation repeat itself too frequently to its early destruction. I hope Honda will educate future buyers of the GW DCT-Tour about this type of clutch-wrecking riding style since such damage will not be covered by warranty. What I would like to know as a potential buyer is "Can/will Honda be able to modify the DCT system to overcome this inherent weakness of being overworked at the slow speed regimes involving the engage/disengage engine speeds of 1,000 to 1,500 rpm range (am I correct about that rpm range)?" Problem number two is the premature wearing-out of the front shock absorber's bumper due to how close the shock absorbing strut gets/stays when weight (of rider or more) is placed on the bike...there just isn't any useful strut-travel space left. I see too many complains about the shocks being too soft and hitting the bumper too much, too frequently unless the roads are blemish-free. I'm worried that in my part of the world (Abuja, Nigeria) where tarred roads of developed urban areas are 90% riddled with bump-rich blemishes (some smooth, others very rough) and heavy, extended, crawl-pace traffic jams are a daily challenge which means, owning a GW DCT-Tour will be incredibly costly in terms of repeated front strut bumper and clutch replacements. What is Honda doing about these unresolved issues?

I certainly hope to see the Goldwing for many years to come. I like many of your suggestions for future Wings. I would like to add one. Allowing the call screen to be placed in the background, where the user can resume navigation and using a turn chime during active phone calls.

I have a 2016 Wing and a 2018 standard that I use for sporting around. I would have liked to see a revamped 2017 instead of a downsized 2018 sport cruiser.

you are Spot on...Your wish list would make The Gold Wing ..the motorcycle it should be!

Nice wishlist ! my 2 addition would be: 1) no possibility to engage gear if park brake is "on" (same as with sidestand) 2) General power shutdown - including lights - when you go awy from the bike to avoid battery colapse Have a nice day

Hey CG! I have a 2016 Goldwing level 3. Love the bike but like you there are things I'd like to see on another one. I am a 6'2" 250 lb aggressive rider. I love the Twisties, I have toured all the lower 48 and do lock and lean riding. This is my 3rd wing. The last 2 I have had to up grade the suspension with stiffer springs. Stock is just way too soft. Next I'd like to see some of the storage space back in the bike because it is a tour bike right? More like the 02 -17 models. Make a F6B version and the tour version to give people a choice. Replace that stupid GPS!!! Takes too long to punch in a address. Make it like a cell phone, type it in or use voice orders. I do agree with you on maybe doing something with wireless communication, bike to bike or to the passenger. Keep the 6th gear but don't govern the motor. Next you got to keep the price if these bikes down. You talked about the profit they are making....getting above $30k is going to hurt sales. Heck dirt bikes are now $10k. Way too much for a dirt bike and what people can afford in a toy. I would not go crazy on the electronic crap. More stuff to go wrong. Also offer a taller seat for us taller drivers over 6' tall. This could be my last Wing....I care nothing for the 18's and up. Like my comfort of my 16. Got to go but this quickly what changes is like to see.

The Headset issue is a legit complaint. Headset>Phone>connected...disconnected....Unplug phone...connected...disconnected.... The other issue is you should be able to use CarPlay without a mic, sure...some features won't work, but that can't be that hard to figure out. The side bags are still entirely too small. (I have a 2018 and the trunk is not good as we all know). I think the drone is a necessary fix too. Honda Suspension is "soft" across the line and under sprung, including this bike. I thought it was the best handling bike I've ever owned until I realized how under-sprung it was after installing Traxxion Dynamics Suspension...then I was terrified Honda sold a bike that was "under-sprung" on the ride home. At a MINIMUM the rear Pre-load needs to be either individual CLICKS (even if digital) or revamped to make the 1-1Luggage 2-2 w/Luggage settings even...as Max says...they go from 0 to 15 from 1 to 1 W/Luggage and 24.5 2 Up and 25 2 Up w/Luggage...useless and nonsensical adjustment ratio. The suspension is the biggest problem I have with the bike and it's an expensive, but worthwhile fix if you plan on keeping the bike as I do. The kickstand pad (Max and others make a bolt-on) is entirely too small for a bike of this size. Tip over Protection is barely there and could easily have been beefed up. Stereo (I've heard is better on the 21-22) is OKAY, but the rear speakers on my 18 can't be heard by the passenger. I regret no spending the money on the upgraded amp and speakers to a degree but didn't want to lose ANY of the ALREADY TOO SMALL space in the sidebag. Rear Seat Space: My wife is 5'3" and small and if we had not done the "trunk relocation kit" from TD I wouldn't have a backrest. The "average" US Passenger is not going to have the room they were used to on the LAST GEN, another issue that isn't HONDAS FAULT but is going to affect sales. GRAB RAILS: Even the upgraded ones are not safe, again...TD has an upgrade, but Honda missed even when they attempted to fix it. 2018-19 are downright dangerous without the upgrade. They made some good moves with the trunk and pre-built luggage rack on the TOP BAG on the updated one, but your assessment of the "next level" to compete with the other options in TOURING is spot on. Some may be too expensive or "tech needs to catch up", but many are not.

Love the videos. Had a 1999 wing when I was 34 now I just want the ability to purchase a 50 th anniversary model. Please keep us informed on any new information.

I have a 1976 wing and 1500, test rode the the new DTC "and liked it ☺" Adaptive head light would be a good upgrade.

Same issue back in 2011! After last market crash in 2008 along with Honda moving motorcycle factory to Japan and turning Ohio plant into a car plant! Ship chain e world closing down over COVID-19!! As an emissions specialist as a master Honda car mechanic! All Honda's are the cleanest running engines PERIOD!!!

Pre-wired CB harnesses. Honda manual says 3 hours to install CB, push-to-talk and related wires and antenna. It took a local Honda dealer 21 hours to install a Honda CB on a 2018... and they charge by the hour. Relocate... no, add additional brake lights to the trunk similar to the previous model. I want the truckers to know when I'm putting my brakes on and the current brake lights are mounted too low. Side lights, front and back, to be seen better at night. Better tip-over bars, they don't have to be as big as the previous model, just a little bigger than what's on it now.

Love the video. I had a 1999 wing when I was 34. I’ve had many bikes since then. I now just want the ability to purchase a 50 th anniversary model. A Two tone gold works for me. The 2018 plus gold wing in my opinion is one of the finest designed bike s ever made. Keep the videos coming and any new information you can gather relating to the future of the goldwing .

Well looks like it's time to go back to the 4 cyl Gold Wing to meet the EPA new standards. I LIKED the 4 cyl GW way better anyway.

Thanks man! Great video - on point with all your... points!

Great blog as always. I have owned a 21 model Bagger for 10 months here in England. For me it would be in order of preference 1. More comfortable seat 2. Bigger panniers 3. Adaptive suspension (Baggers model or at the the option) 4. Option for a removable top box 5. Bluetooth connectivity 6. More BHP. Great low down toque but not so great from 80 ( unlike K bike) 7. Better quality speakers 8. Better radio reception 9. Full digital dashboard 10. Cruiser pegs.

I couldn't agree more. I cannot find a 2022 for sale anywhere. They sell everyone they make. Honda won't kill a cash cow.

An audible beep or electronic release of the handbrake when 1st gear engaged

You make some fantastic points, about the changes which should be made, to any future GW’S. Bravo 👏🏻

I agree with you 100 percent. And EVs are not going to save us. Supply chain issues for EVs are very complex.

All of these suggestions are great! In addition, how about a larger foot on the sidestand? All that weight on a narrow contact area means my bike sometimes sinks into the surface!

Hey cruseman, I just purchased a non tour 2022. Can't argue with anything you said in this vid, your spot on. I can say I absolutely love the bike even with its flaws. I've spent past 30+ years on Harley's. Love them as well but harley and technology don't go together very well. There trying but Honda has the edge that's for sure. They can always be better though. I personally can't see them dropping the Goldwing any time soon if ever. Maybe elsewhere in the world but not in the USA. Enjoy the vids, great job and keep it up

I would like to see the F6B model back.

I would like to see a more ease of maintenance especially the air filter taking apart the bike is just crazy.

Now that BMW, with it's R-18 heritage series, has picked-up where Honda left off with the O.G. Valkyrie, I'd like to see Honda reissue an updated 21st century F-6C lineup featuring, ABS; 6-speed gearbox a/o 7-speed DCT; Cruise Control, Integrated info-tainment, GPS, radio & communication systems: Reverse. And White Wall tires!

I agree with u 100% on what honda needs to do I had 2012 wing went to a 22 I've owned voyagers 12, Suzuki cavalcade. Xs11 and started on a dressed 750 four. Watch ur stuff a lot keep it up

A dynamic cornering light is missing badly - driving around Switzerland and many hours along mountain areas, the bike is not safe during nights to drive around - CHF 39'000.00 and no dynamic lights is a joke! You need to drive your GW in mountain areas to see what's really essential cruiseman! But thanks for all other points which would be good to have...

Great vid, Chris. I'm quite sure the Goldwing will live on until the World Economy implodes. My 1st Wing was a black 1977 for $2,695. Started touring at age 19. Currently riding a 2002 with 428, 000 miles, and still amazed at how smooth and comfy it is. As snazzy and technologically advanced as the 2018+ Wing is, I feel that it repells many of the older riders, due to its smaller size, harder seat, and smaller windshield. [ ST 1800 ] The local GWRRA members around St.Louis all ride the 2001-2017 1800s. No one has yet to buy the newer Wing. It's not comfy enough, if you are 250 pounds, especially if your 200 pound wife wants to squeeze in behind you. ( typical scenario). And since many have read my articles in Wing World magazine about 500,000 mile or higher Wings ( Phil Steiner now at 722,000 on his 2015 ), they know their bikes will outlive them. Add to that; many have spent big Bux for their trike conversion, and don't wanna fork over almost 50 Grand for a new GW trike. Your thoughts..?

I just randomly watched this video. I'm 5' 8", 170 lbs, not big enough and nowhere near old enough to ride a Goldwing yet.

2021 Honda Goldwin, first wing. The buttons for all the accessories should be installed from the factory as other brands do. Having to install them is just crazy. If you don't have that accessory then a simple message, "Home Link Not Installed" will do. All the accessories should be plug and play. No wiring required. No Dremel. Yamaha did this right with the Venture. The "Home" button should cycle through all the options, not just take you to "Home". There should be a menu option to "hide" menu options you don't care about. Triumph did this right. For example, I would like to "hide" AM and FM from the Audio source menu. Parking brake ON, no shift available warning. No need for navigation, just improve Apple Car Play / Andriod Auto. Gas tank, at least 6.0 gallons, 6.5 even better. The horn is awesome, the location of the button not so much, I always end up downshifting on my DCT. The seat, OMG, it's just silly putty. I'm sure it's all about weight / EPA / show room sales but it just sucks after 45 minutes.

Quite a list, but the seat on a Gold Wing should be a no brainer since it one the things that is simple to fix and makes everyone mad quickly.I just watched a video from a very old harley Dealer and that was their complaint about the Road Glide. You spend 30K on a motorcycle and it should come with a comfortable seat.

Humm honestly I love my 2018! Have no issues with my blue tooth helmet connecting! All your wants will only raise the price of the Goldwing! I've put a custom seat on mine but went back to the stock seat and have ridden mine coast to coast spending up to 17hrs in a day riding pulling a time out deluxe camper trailer 2 up very comfortable with no issues

Cruisemans, great Content I am the proud owner of a 2022 black black tour DCT.. I have never seen another one on the road in the state of Washington. It is an amazing bike

Larger saddlebags would be on my list.

You will NEVER get your tires properly inflated, unless you do it first thing in the morning, before you ride. Do it inside, as the Sun merely shining on your tire will cause in improper reading by several psi. Do this and your TPSM TROUBLE WILL DISSAPEAR. Sam

Still love Goldwing

I have a 2018 DCT, love it'''Best bike ever.

Well said Chis. Enjoy your cruise

The BIGGEST problem with the current wing is the lack of capacity in the panniers. They need to be a lot bigger. We are going away for 4 weeks around Europe soon and all you can carry is about 5 days worth of clothes.

I want an incredible 50th Anniversary Edition With A Turbo and the adaptive cruise and blind spot!!!

I don’t know about where you’re located, but where I live there are very few Goldwings sold. The local dealership gets about 1 or 2 Goldwings per year to sell. So, I’ve been to every dealership within a 100 mile radius and found that each of them are about the same. This means I have an option of 7 dealerships X 2 bikes = 14 total bikes. 14 in a 100 mile radius? If other places are like it is here, they might need to discontinue them because they aren’t selling.

I've had a 1200 GW...I own a 2003 GW. I think The GW has been turned into a creature that is not really a motorcycle anymore. Even my 2003 is massive overkill for a bike, The GW is a tech showcase. A picture of what is possible on two wheels. Most of the riders I know, who are older, are going back to the simpler, more traditional motorcycles...750 cc or lower. And you can get a lot of nice bikes for much, much less than a 30,000. I mean really, talking about horn buttons and Nav screens, etc. This sounds laughable - what does any of that have to do with biking? Really. It sounds like people don't have anything better to do than obsess over insignificant minutiae. Boys and their toys - I get it. But it has become quite ridiculous overall. $30,000 plus for a bike? We have reached the crazy, alternate dimension.

wow, I think you covered just about all aspects of improvements for the 2023. I would be quite disappointed if the Goldwing was discontinued. My 70th birthday is on the horizon and a 2023 would be a nice present. It would be my third. My first was an 84 Aspencade when I imported two sleeper Travlite campers into Ontario Canada.They were so easy to tow and very comfy for a compact two sleeper. My current one is a 2003 with 160 thousand km, still runs almost like new. Hope "they" listen to your excellent suggestions.

There is a reason why the displacement of motorcycles is going up in all segments. The bigger the displacement the easier it is to reach the emission standards of Euro5. If the Goldwing with all of its pollution relegating equipment and it’s 1800cc (which is higher than some cars) can’t meet emission standards then it’s basically the death of motorcycling with a combustion engine. Also, it doesn’t matter what U.S standards are unless you’re Indian or Harley. All Japan and Euro bikes are sending Euro5 compliant bikes to the U.S. it makes no sense to build a non E5 bike alongside a E5 bike just to send to America. We don’t have enough market share for Japan and Euro bikes. I’d imagine many manufacturers would just stop selling bikes here before doing that.

They need to bring back the F6B with at least 165hp to compete with the Rocket 3.

CM - I have a 2021 standard GW, and a Sena headset. I don't agree with your faith in Android Auto. The only place I can get it to work consistently is on major highways. As soon as I go to rural areas, it constantly cuts out on me. Even though the Honda navigation system is difficult, it is generally working when Android Auto is not. I find that Google maps on the handheld, and the Calimoto App are only ones that consistently work well for me. Keep up the good work.

Your improvement suggestions are spot on. I couldn't think of anything more than what you suggested. I think the future of the Goldwing might be an electric/gas or hybrid/gas engine.

Wen I lived in Renton WA, south of Seattle, I bought a 2009 Honda Shadow Spirit and drove it to work every day that weather permitted. I only went on two long rides with the local church Motorcycle Club. In 2013 I moved to Avondale AZ, just West of Phoenix. I only drove it two times and was bumped broadside by a car that changed lanes right into me. I was no hurt, and fortunately there was no cars coming the other was so I was able to get out of the way and pull off the road. The other driver dashed away without a trace. My dear Honda Shadow has been parked in my garage ever since because the drivers here are crazy with speeding and aggressive driving. I see very few Motorcycles on the road, mostly crotch rockets with young male riders. At least 10, maybe more riders are killed in this area every year.

Guess I am an odd duck, but I absolutely love my 2021 Goldwing and cannot imagine anything else! Coming from a 98 and 03, previously that also had non lockable cubbies, due to previous owners adding knobs. All of the technical stuff becomes trivial and I believe a Lexus MSRP is quite higher. This bike is on its own level with the double wishbone and DCT. As for mention of high demand and low supply, I believe Honda will continue with what's developed. Wing on!

The way I heard the discontinued rumor is this current design,

Also a more scratch resistant instrument panel cover (like what F4 does to their windshields)

I waited 4 months to get my 22 DCT Tour from Storm Lake, IA Honda; but got it 2 weeks ago. They didn’t get any for months and then they got at least 5 all of a sudden. I think they sold them. I think the Goldwing goes on in the USA.

Yes for sure the seat sucks. Also, would like to see adjustable handlebars

I'm wanting a Goldwing next bike purchase and I'm hoping that all you have listed will be available in 2 to 3 years when I'll be in the market. But if they don't I will not but a Goldwing! In the mean time I'll keep watching your channel for the updates. Thanks! And I agree with you 💯👍

I’ll believe it when Mother Honda tells us it is so; not until then.

As usual you are spot on with your thoughts and potential upgrades that should strongly be considered. If they made all those upgrades I would sell my 2019 dct immediately

HeliBar type adjustable handlebars. For taller riders to be able to adjust for comfirt

Not sure if feasible, but adding another half gallon capacity to the gas tank would be great.

Great video and suggested improvements. How about a standard drive-off center stand? I installed an after market drive off stand and it makes parking the dct a dream (compared to using all my weight to lift via the higher standard center stand) and it makes loading up my passenger so much easier and safer than using the side stand.

Good video Cruiseman 👍🏻👍🏻 I would also like to see Honda Goldwing equipped with a touch screen like Indian & BMW has on their touring and bagger models That cheap plastic dash cover has to go Keep up the good jog & Ride safe👍🏻👍🏻

My Honda dealer has not had any bikes in their showroom for 6 months.

When are you coming out with the next installment on how you create and edit your videos?

Color choices and thicker better paint and clear coats

Great Wish list!! However, I think all the things on your wish list would push the price into the 35 to 40K range. Some items on your wish list are readily available on the BMW K1600GTL that you test rode. I would be happy with just a simpler way to open the fuel cap, lockable cubbies, improved Bluetooth and cornering ABS. I think Honda could add those upgrades without breaking the bank. ps. I cannot ride the BMW mentioned comfortably 2 up, due to being vertically challenged as many riders are. Besides the low center of gravity on the Goldwing is priceless!!

Nah, no chance! Love my 2021 GW TOUR DCT and it’s got super low emissions and demand is amazingly strong. If you can find one, buy it! No future for an electric GW with an 80 mile range at 50 mph and so much heavier with gigantic batteries

Here's an idea, MAKE MORE COLOR OPTIONS. 2021 was that terrible grey color and 2022 is nasty matte blue.... therefore thats 2 years in a row I'm putting off purchase based entirely on color choice.

I have trouble finding the new goldwing to be comfortable enough to spend 18 hours in the saddle as my 2010&2015 models. I've rode both new ones and like the dct but the lack of storage and wind ,rain protection isn't Worth the trade off.

I really loved the 2012 through 2017 2010 wasn't bad either

Got CB1000R Neo cafe honda, but one day would love a gold wing (50th Annerversary) 🤞🤞

I hope the next model has a windscreen wiper..

Factory seat options like Harley do would be a good idea. I could do with a seat that sits me back an inch or 2.

Honda just getting started on the Goldwing they're not done yet

I haven't found a navigation system that I like any better than my Garmin Zumo XT except for the Navigation system in my Tesla Model S and Tesla Model 3. I would not want an integrated navigation system included in any motorcycle. I don't use my phone when I ride. In Nevada cell phone coverage is only good in urban areas and some towns. I use the Zumo to play music as well as provide navigation. I ride with a guy who complained a lot about the Gold Wing navigation. I think they should have omitted it and executed some of your other ideas.
