Looks tasty, but woddizzit - has a Honda ST look about it, but hard to tell from this angle.   Whatever - great!

I liked it too... it's the new Wing I believe...I see the boxer ticking out the side. Absolutely gorgeous.

Yep! That’s a new 2018 Goldwing. The ‘non-Tour’ model without the rear top box & such. I’m fascinated by this motorcycle, as it’s the first thing I’ve seen from Honda recently that really appeals to me.

[ghostrider1127]

Unluckily here we got only 256 goldwing for 2018 , most of them are Tour airbag/dct (in red/black ) or standard ( in matt grey) , and few are tour with standard gearbox
No other colors are available in 2018 .
As i don´t want a DCT decide to bought this (with lovely scheme color BTW)
No accessoires are vailable here , had to order all in us.
Prices are quite high aswel , compare to US , had to pay mine with accessoires 35080 $
(still feeling lucky after i discovered the same in Danemark will be round about 81861$ due taxes )
 
 
Nice bike , light years far away from 17 or older models .
 
Booked a test with the new Tracer 900 GT in 2 weeks and i´m waiting for the invite to test on race track the new Niken.
I already was for a short test in the alps with journalist

You already got to ride the Niken? You should chime in on the Niken sub-forum.

are those calipers from r1-mt10 right? perhaps thats why you used a 12,5 spacer than a 11mm or am I mistaken? 

[ghostrider1127]

Yes you are mistaking :

Mt09 , mt 09sp ,tracer900 , mt 10 ,mt10 sp , R1 , R1S , R1m  got all the same calipers fusion shape ; from ADvics/sumitomo .

For the r1/r1s change the materials of the pistons (ally instead of stainless) and the design of the screwed covers ,

for mt10 sp the design of the screwed covers

for r1m ally pistons , screwed covers and nickel finish instead of black.

You will need to use 12,5 mm spacers even with 4 pot calipers from early R1 or R6 BTW. ;).

Sure also 10 or 11 mm spacers can be used , but in that way the full and bigger rotors area will be not used .

M+S tires Anlas


 

Still around?  I'm curious how these tires worked out for you.

 

I ride year round in Calgary, Alberta.  Previously, I've done so on Michelin Pilot Road 5's, which were decent (respective to motorcycle tires in sub zero conditions, anyways) but I'd like to get something a little better.  These Anlas Winter Grip tires are pretty hard to track down here and tend to be pretty damn expensive as a result, so I'm curious if they actually work, at least reasonably so?  I'm not really hoping for actual snow usage, but I spend a lot of time riding at -10c to -20c, and random slushy bits.  Figure they're worth buying?
