In hindsight I read where the seat isn't lowered. So much for a short-guy I know getting one.

Forward floorboards and its a maybe. No ABS is not a deal breaker for me.

Looks nice. I wonder if they saw what Kawasaki had done offering the Vaquero and the voyager. Must be a demand in that segment.

I really like the looks of it, and think Honda has a contender for certain.

...and it appears they might have lowered it for short-people... not that I know of any.

I would say that anyone 5'-6 &1/2" or less is short

I looked at it again. It's really starting to grow on me. I'm going to have to delete this link.

I think it looks good too.

My sentiments exactly!

You guys crack me up! Half of you have added trunks to your Nomads and almost all of you have put a taller shield on your Vaquero, yet a Goldwing with a shorty shield and no trunk is appealing? No, thanks! I appreciate a Goldwing for what it is--an amazing touring bike. I think I'm already reading about people asking to add a trunk to it.

Valkyrie goldwing.
Meh!

blowndodge · 11-12-2012, 11:46 PM

Thats my thought Jared.

**ringadingh** · 11-13-2012, 12:24 AM

Nice looking bike, but I still like it to have a beerbox.

Double J · 11-13-2012, 01:20 AM

Still not enough leg room.

elvis · 11-13-2012, 03:17 AM

Nice looking bike and good to have choices. However, I personally prefer to subtract things rather than add afterwards so if I were to purchase a GW, I'd get the standard one with the trunk and all.
