Go!!!!Buy one !!!
Those old liesthat they're sooooooooooo superior . . . is wrong. They are over rated like most all japanese vehicles. The japs have the American public so fooled . . . It's sad. When you see what maint costs are compared to a Harley (or honda cars vs. GM or Ford) it's laughable. You even look wrong at a honda accord and it needs a timing belt and a water pump. Same with the bikes. Over rated plastic JUNK!!! Saw a GW on the way home from wk today. Ugliest thing I saw all day.

That said , I love my 07 Ultra. Like someone on this board put it "Harleys have soul..Hondas don't. Just admitt that a Goldwing will out perform, out last and is a better engineered machine. Also somwhat boring. All this Honda bashing sounds like some of us are trying to justify owning a Harley. Remember the old saying "if you have to ask you wouldn't understand"

RE: considering Goldwing
I spent several weeks test riding bikes to figure which tourer I wanted/needed. The new gwings handle great much better than the 05 down. I was wanting another HD but the gwing was tempting. Due to my short legs I went with the ultra classic, I am very happy with my decision. However, My cousin has a 06 goldwing and it is a good bike. Very comfortable, good handling,lots of accessories comes with it like the uc. Your friend may save some $$$ by going to Chattanooga, Tn for his purchase.

No 2 people will like the same thing including motorcycles. That is why we are unique from other creatures that God has made. Your friend will enjoy the wing

RE: considering Goldwing
Man you been spending too much time on this forum & not riding, why you would ride HD when you feel GWs are better???? 
Life is too short to not ride what you like. I don'tlike GWs and most of us here don't, so to us they are NOT a better bike. Each, of course to his own, I really don't care what you ride.
