New Honda Goldwing Tour DCT: Prepare to be pampered.


Recommended Posts

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.

Too heavy and as wide as a car.

Suzuki GSX-R 1000R much better. ????

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.

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

 

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

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.

Thats a bike I would love to tour through europe..Summers of course

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.
