Damn... I'm thinking September... fly to Russellville... ride back on that baby!

 

Or....September... fly to Russellville...then ride to Montrose and then ride home on that baby.

 

I think if you zoom in, it's got your name on it 😁😁nice looking bike

 

I think the first two people in this thread are getting the itch for a new Goldwing!
Go for it, you only live once and life is meant to be enjoyed........you never know when your health will not allow you to ride any longer.

One sitting in Clarks, Ne. Clarksbikesandtrikes.

 

I'm hoping to get to the dealer Saturday to get a look at the gold one if it's still there. Your pictures look much better than what has been posted on the net.

 

Too bad they removed the GPS. If they have left it on, I might have taken this one home.

 

We're you able to power it up and look through the features and menus? If so, what do you think? I don't think the lack of GPS should be a deal breaker for most people. Garmin should be an excellent accessory.

 

In 2006 that was Topeka Gold. What do they call this gold color? I like it.

 

"Eternal Gold." I had the 2006. This new gold looks a little darker and deeper.

 

I agree, it is getting nicer every time I see a pic of it. I haven’t seen it in person for at first I didn’t like it. I do appreciate the small details in the brown paint too.
I have been many places where there is no service….very common on the West Coast outside of major towns and have lost CarPlay but not the Honda GPS. I hate it to be honest but in the event of an emergency, it’s a good back up.

 

I agree that gold color sure looks nice

 

Go for it. Life is too short to deny yourself of something if you really want it. None of us are getting any younger and you never know what's going to happen. I waited and waited, and then finally decided if I wait any longer I may never get back on a wing. I put the money down and paid what I had to and I don't regret it. I look at like it's less money, the doctors, the government or a nursing home is going to get.

 

........... off topic...............just to know me better..................nursing home ?? Kill me NOW. That's is NOT "living."

Everyone has to make their own decisions for sure.....it's your hard earned money you're spending on a new Goldwing.
That said, if I was in the market for a 2025, the lack of HONDA Nav would have zero influence on my decision to purchase.
I never use the Honda Nav on my 2022.....I've fired it up a couple of times for giggles, but never use it for obvious reasons, sorry but it plain sucks. I lost hours of my life in aggravation on my 2019 Navi to know it's not for me.

Plenty of <better> other options to be had.......

Good luck to those considering a 2025........I'd move fairly quickly not knowing what the world/market will look like tomorrow.

 

I know this picture has been used before but it may be new to someone. From a distance it looks like a classic woody design but up close it is a tribute to the Goldwing logo.

 

I assume the brown has to be vinyl. Or is there some sort of laser printer type paint machine that can do this?

 

Glad your feel'n better Mr. Anzik, cause when you speak, I listen ..... and if I was ready for a new bike, I'd b all over that gold one..as well!!!
and @ 74+ years old, (lucky to be in excellent health) I only have 78,000(ish) very easy miles on myTRIKE..
I have three very long distance, tours planned this coming season, so at my age, I'm hope'n for the best ride'n season ever...

The gold color looks so much better in person than any photograph. There is a sparkle cameras can't catch, and the colors are very complimentary to each other. It looks even better with the Wingsoft seat on it!

Seems my old memory has messed with me again. As pointed out below, the seat is actually an Ultimate. Sorry for the confusion, and thanks to Murphy for supplying the correct information!

wow

 

That's a WingSoft seat?

 

It's a brand, like Ultimate or RDL.

 

Guys it's an Ultimate seat built for Charlie Brown ( the Godfather) who built that bike for Southern Honda. Call Chris at Ultimate she built the seat. I spoke to her yesterday about building a wine colored one. Here's a photo of one they did , the Gold seat next to it is the one on the bike in the picture from Goldwings and glizzys.

 

That Ultimate seat really make the gold pop, I love it!

 

Fred.....
Please post some detailed pictures when you pick up your 2025..... 🤭 🤭

 

Crookster, I agree on the seat.Rally adds to the bike..For $2.100+ it should..LoL

 

If the Gold was the Air Bag model and the GPS was still on it, I would be on the hunt.

 

I agree about the GPS. But I sense you'll still be the next one to buy a 2025 👍

 

Clarks, Nevada? NE is Nebraska.

 

"NV" = Nevada
He did type "NE"... (or "Ne") for Nebraska

 

Many people confuse the abbreviations, and there was me, thinking since I'd heard of Clark County in Nevada, which is where Las Vegas is, there was a town by that name. Lesson reinforced: always check before speaking.

 

Here's a gold/brown being uncrated. Pics don't do it justice. Looks awesome "in the flesh." This is one of three the dealership received. It already is sold.

 

Yea, you really have to see that Gold in person to appreciate it.

 

I really tried, I really did, but it wasn't meant to be, so red it is.

 

Glad the gold color is starting to get a little love. 😎 I'm planning on flying to Russellville in September to ride one home. 😁 Hopefully it all falls into place.

 

Probably takes some of us a little longer to warm up to the Gold look.......
Honda did some nice touches on that model for sure.....
