Title: 2025 50th Anniversary Honda Goldwing
Post by: ruSTynutz on February 05, 2025, 05:56:24 PM
I see details have been released on the new 2025 50th Anniversary Goldwing... :popcorn

Disappointingly, not much has changed from last year's model other than the colours and a few other bits and bobs to comply with Euro 5+.
Honda have also got rid of the GPS so riders will now have to rely on Apple CarPlay and/or Android Auto for map guidance.
Good news though, this can now be done wirelessly.  :thumbs

It will be interesting to see what colours we get here in OZ... :popcorn

The red looks good, but the cream/brown is very similar to a paint job on some of the government busses in Adelaide up until the early 2000s. Commonly known as 'shit and custard'. Hopefully the Goldwing is actually gold instead of cream

Yeah, the red isn't too bad although I'd prefer it with the chrome/polished alloy like the Gold one gets.
Not sure I'm a fan of the "Gold" and brown...  :think1

Reminds me of the Goldwing Aspencade from the 80's, which I assume is intentional...

Beige is NOT a good look for a motorcycle - but then again Beauty is in the eye of the beholder - I guess

My Aspencade is supposed to look like that. It might do again one day, if I ever get the three bikes ahead of it in the queue finished.
