New Honda Goldwing Tour DCT: Prepare to be pampered.

[PattayaDavid]

Maybe the best motorcycle ever made for us old guys.  You have to watch the whole video to see what I mean; prepare to be pampered.

Too heavy and as wide as a car.

Suzuki GSX-R 1000R much better. ????

Granted that is one sweet motorbike and well worth the money. Honda really nailed it with this model. That being said it's simple a road touring bike for long trips and not an ideal motorbike for most of the riding here in Thailand. I can well imagine trying to ride it in the Bangkok or even Chiang Mai traffic and actually enjoying that experience.

if  I ever  get this  old  i'll kill myself before ordering this  tank, where's  the catheter storage  tank?

[VocalNeal]

Can one assume it has reverse? I'd hate to park somewhere and......

 

There must be a market or Honda wouldn't make them.

Horses for courses.

 

If money was no problem I would love a GoldWing Trike.

USD 42,399 in the USA. In Thailand 1.314,369 baht without any duties paid.

After 250 % import tax = 3,285,922 baht.

After vat at 7% = 3,515,937 baht.

 

Add shipping costs and DLT registration and it is looking around 4m baht.

Yes it has reverse.

 

The DCT also provides “walking mode” forward and reverse “for situations like maneuvering the motorcycle around a parking space.” Both are powered by the engine—controlled by plus and minus buttons on the left handlebar switch—and limited in speed to 1.1 mph forward, 0.75 mph reverse.

The Honda Click is as much as she can handle.

 

I can just imagine the looks my 14 year old son would get if he rode the trike to school.

Likely very very good for that.

 

I would love to try one out, so if any members here on TV have one in Pattaya, please let me know OK????

 

Saw one in Pattaya a couple of weeks ago, a new one, impressive bike for sure but not my cup of tea.

The BiB would love to ride these machines to pull over farangs in pick ups...
