I'm currently accepting donations to the "New Gold Wing for Trip" charity. It's a needy one. Our goal is to reach $27,000.00. It's gonna take a while.

Yup. I want one. Nope. It'll probably never be in my budget but once they hit the showroom floors, they'll have test rides. Oh, yes, they'll have test rides. :)

So the touring model is 10 pounds lighter than the 2018 Vaquero? And the base model is almost 60 lighter? Interesting.

I've always said I wasn't old enough for a Goldwing. (my Dad had 4) Am I getting older or is Honda making it more interesting for us young(ish) people?

The Nomad is a fantastic bike that has given me many years of dependable pleasure... but after riding a Gold Wing it’s kinda hard to ride a V-Twin for a long distance.

You should try an Indian or a Victory. Smoothest big V Twin bikes I have ever ridden.

I agree that Victory and Indian make a fantastic bike, but I personally prefer a liquid cooled bike for my main ride.
