What are the changes from a regular Gold Wing, other than hacksawing off the windshield?

I like it better than the typical goldwing....it's a little sportier. I do not like the Pacific Cost...that is one fugly bike.

The trunk is gone. Going for the "bagger" look.

I dunno...I think this was the best use of the Goldwings 1800cc flat 6.

You know...stock plus 4 more throttle bodies, single side swing arm, tuned exhaust. Just a tad more torque than a stock wing and less weight.

I think something more SPORT-touring and less bagger would be badass on a Goldwing. Even the standard model with the blacked out trim would look pretty neat.

Then again I am lusting after an old 4 cylinder GL, not one of these newfangled two-wheeled cars!

Forget the bagger, forget the Rune, they should just follow the lead of this guy:

I don't think your average Goldwing owner's wife is going to appreciate the smaller backrest and disappearance of those arm rests. Also, am I crazy or is that a really cut-down windscreen?

In reply to pinchvalve: I love it, but SWMBO would not. She wants that big old back rest, and honestly, so do I. My back gets sore when she sleeps leaning against me.

I bought the full Corbin get up for my k1200s, so the wife would ride more, all used of course because their prices are insane. I got the front and rear heated seats, backrest, and in a seperate purchase got another front seat and the smugglers trunk. I think she rode with me a grand total of two times after I got all that stuff, so now I just leave the solo saddle and smuggler on there. Some women just don't appreciate motorcycles lol.

Aside from the Repsol thing, those bikes are gross. Not. For. Me.

Must be getting old, those Wings are looking good, and the stripped down early ones are to die for.

It's not a stripped down Goldwing, it's a gussied up VTX!

In reply to Cotton:

No, she rode to N GA from Charlottesville, and back. We plan on making the trip again, but likely on the Burgman this time (last was on the WeeStrom). That's a fairly long ride for most, but she soldiered through just fine. She did get upset when I kept up with traffic around Charlotte that was traveling at near 100 MPH on damp roads... She's a keeper, she is.

I love it, but I don't $20,000 and I-still-make-the-payments-the-seven-months-a-year-I-can't-ride-it love it. Looks like something fun to throw SWMBO on for an anniversary away or something, but we just inherited a '07 Harley Heritage to fill that void, and it'll likely never leave the family.

F6B: call me when you're old enough to drink, and we'll rehash this.
