Whats the latest anyone is hearing on the next generation Gold Wings? Ive been reading that the 2011s will be skipped and will go straight to the new Japan produced 2012 which they are tooling up for now.

Rumor was a 2,000cc motor
If they add a automatic to that 2000cc im in for one

I've also been 'hearing' that the GL1800 replacement from Japan will have a larger engine which doesn't sound smart to me. The GL1800 engine is large enough and has plenty of room for development. It is one of the least stressed m/c engines currently available. A little tweaking could make the current engine much more exciting. This assumes of course that the GL1800 replacement isn't going to be much more obese than the current machine.

What i have been reading is 2000cc with the driver assist transmission. Should be one nice machine to trike out if they have/or get the bugs worked out. The have a rice rocket bike out this year with basically the same design transmission. You have D for Drive, or S for speed shift or you select manual and push a button to shift up or down as you like.
I also heard tire pressure sensor will become standard, but that may have happened this year
I also believe they are skipping to 2011 year, the US is/was making a surplus of 2010 machines to carry over till the new factory in Japan is tooled up.
AGAIN all of this is rumors I have read or heard but htey do make seem reasonable. It is enought for me to put off buying a 2010 as I had planned to see what will happen, I know I will not jump on the first production year, but the 2 or 3 i am in. If it is junk, then I will go find a nice used GL1800 to replace my 96 GL1500.

I would like to see the replacement lightened and modernized. I would like to see more useful equipment like a Telelever front suspension, better brakes, an electrically operated up/down/tilt windscreen, a gear position indicator and more substantial side and top cases. I also think that a height adjustable heated saddle and heated grips should be standard equipment. If Honda fears that the K LT replacement will have higher power, the engine could be tuned for more output.
Those are all nice Ben but Id still like to see a basic entry level bike so the cost doesnt get out of site. Do you think it will be a 2000cc engine? I think the shift assist (auto) is a definite possibility and would probably be a huge hit particularly with trikers.

2014 TRIGLIDE
I just hope they make one.
Also wish they would move production back to the U.S.,and then we would not have to listen to all that stuff from the Harley riders.
:yes::yes::yes:
Jim what stuff is that? We Harley riders NEVER make fun of the rice burners. Really I'm looking forward to the new Goldwing also. I love them both. 2 very different trikes.

A couple of things I would like to see are a adjustible wind shield like the b.m.w. has and wind shield wipers.A few years back while visiting the marysvile plant I saw some 1500s with windshield wipers when I inquired about them I was told they were for export to Japan.
I do not know how many times I have got caught in heavey rain with no place to pull over and stop.
There use to be a company that made wind shield wipers for the 1500,but I do not think they are aroind any more.
