My first post. I sold my Valkyrie about a year ago with 57k miles and I though I was finished with motorcycles forever. I bought a Corvette and drive it a lot with the top off to get a simulation of the motorcycle feeling.
Although I've never had a bike wreck in over 35 years of riding I began to feel uneasy riding in urban/suburban traffic. The airbag really appeals to me because it looks like it would really help during the typical motorcycle T-bone accident.
I've found a local dealer who has given me a price of $20,670 for a new airbag Goldwing. Is that a "jump on it" price?
I've never riden an 1800 Goldwing (dealer has offered a test drive and I intend to take him up on it) but one of the things that turned me off about the Valkyrie was how awkward and ponderous it felt, especially at slow speeds. How is the Goldwing compared to the Valkyrie?
Last question. It's possible that the Goldwing will lose out to the Corvette for my riding/driving time. If that happened I'd need to sell the Goldwing because I couldn't afford to keep something that expensive if I didn't use it. What is a good estimate of the depreciation loss I could expect selling a 1 year old bike? I took a bath on the Valkyrie.
