Not looking for any changes other than colors and a badge. I’m definitely not looking to get one, happy with my 23. A friend of mine is looking to get a new wing, and if the 25’s are the same as the 24’s he’ll be looking for the black 24.
Maybe for some. I'm better off with my 18 model: it's paid off and runs like a top. At 69 years old, I doubt I'll be able to ride long enough to ever wear it out. Happy as I can be with what I have....But sadly, the sticker price will be up in the mid 30's due to inflation... If true, we're all better off with a 2024 model.
Being realistic at this time, Honda is the only one who knows when the 2025 model wing will be rolled out. Everything else is conjecture.I just got some insight from a major US dealer upper management close friend that travels frequently to Japan's manufacturing that the 2025 model will rollout on the first week of February 2025 in the US. No marketing hype and no major updates except new color options and some electronic upgrades. But sadly, the sticker price will be up in the mid 30's due to inflation... If true, we're all better off with a 2024 model.
Don't surf over to the UBS bolt recall thread. 😟Maybe for some. I'm better off with my 18 model: it's paid off and runs like a top. At 69 years old, I doubt I'll be able to ride long enough to ever wear it out. Happy as I can be with what I have.![]()
Good one. But ya know what? It's just a bolt guys. Getting it taken care of doesn't seem like any big deal to me. I'm quite sure my dealer will handle this just fine. They've never let me down yet. So... we'll deal with the recall soon enough. Till then, I'm just rolling as usual. Once that's completed, we should be good to go.Don't surf over to the UBS bolt recall thread. 😟

Can't do much more than that my friend. Ride on!Good one. We'll deal with the recall soon enough. Till then, I'm just rolling as usual. Once that's completed, we should be good to go.
If you know anything about risk management then you’ll know that the biggest risks are what you don’t know about. Once you know about a risk you can start managing it. Which is exactly what Honda is doing with the UBS bolt. In 5 years you’ll be sweating over something else you don‘t even know about at this time.Don't surf over to the UBS bolt recall thread. 😟

Yeah, in 5 years, after this thread is ancient history, a bunch of new guys who aren't old enough to notice the Gold Wing today... will be discussing whether or not the 2030 model has just enough new ___ to warrant buying one for ONLY #$%^ dollars... Me? if I'm healthy enough, I'll still be rolling on my 2018 and happy as a lark.If you know anything about risk management then you’ll know that the biggest risks are what you don’t know about.

I was just thinking that about my ‘08 model.. 🤣Maybe for some. I'm better off with my 18 model: it's paid off and runs like a top. At 69 years old, I doubt I'll be able to ride long enough to ever wear it out. Happy as I can be with what I have.![]()

I wish that colour had come to Europe / UK in the last few years its been nothing but Black , White or silver, and yes, I did notice the model
I'm 72 and I'm LOOKING ALL THE TIME! I'm also VERY fortunate that since my wife passed away, I've found a woman who LOVES riding like my late wife, is a WHOLE lot of FUN, and she is AWESOME elsewhere (hint-hint). Which surprised the heck out of this "old" man. I thought that ended at 66!How many 70 year-olds even look at "hot display models" anymore?
