Thoughts?

   *   I think it's very heavy - 465kg. 

   *   If I was in the market for a motorcycle in that class / size / range, I think I'd go Gold.

What a beast of a bike, tho the fuel tank seems a bit small, only about 26 litres. And its heavy.

Lots of room on the rear seat for a large back pack

Beast is an appropriate word.

I think that it could be known as the " Bloodiest heaviest bike that ever lived. " Although that mantle is probably owned elsewhere. Hope it has its own training wheels. Imagine if that fell over, there goes the sphincter... :eek.....Big pass, but interesting, going back to an air cooled twin? That`s old tech, or new tech reinvented?.... :wht11

But it does have electric parking assist - although for a bike of this weight, you'd need a bit of help trying to park it

A very poor take on the Gold Wing, since it has a Harley wannabee engine.
Give me the real Gold if I'm going to have to heave around more than 400 kgs.
Been there, done that. Didn't like it.
The flash tech doesn't make up for the problems, including projected $40,000+ in Oz.

I hope Honda is taking notice, lucky to fit one helmet in the GL1800 top box. Luggage capacity went backwards in the GL1800 compared to the GL1500. The GL1800 is suffering like the ST1300 from Honda being 10 years behind in some things
