Picked up a New 2012 ABS Gold Wing on Friday. I hope the Busa doesn't get jealous now that it's 2 to 1 in favor of the Honda's! :lol2:

I plan to make this my daily ride to work, short 4 miles, and back as well as some longer trips in the spring and fall.

You do know the Goldwing left months ago.... :mrgreen: However, Denny's is good grub, there is nothing wrong with protecting the grass and I never go to bed before 8:30 if I get a good nap in. I am squarely in the BMW spectrum.
 
Is it an easy commute or will you need something more "flickable"?
Will the wing's exhaust get hot enough to boil moisture out of the system?
She sure is purdy:clap:

Probably not this year. I've got lots of expenses coming up. Just got the list of supplies for my daughter's nursing school. :eek2:

That doesn't even include tuition or books.

Still 9 months left in this year. We will see. :wary:

Books are the killer for nursing school. :giveup:

Back on topic; that's a nice looking Wing you got there. Not a fan of the two-tone except in the Blue/Silver like you got :thumb:
 
School will drain you but, your daughter will be much better off in the long run and hopefully appreciates your sacrifice!

1TallTXn - I am of the same opinion. If I had purchased a red one I was going to Black Out the silver panels like a F6B.

Oh yeah, put the wife through RN school - those books make a new motorcycle look cheap!!

Congrats on the new steed.
 
Congrats on your new ride! I love GW, soo smooth and powerful. Looking forward to add one to my garage as well ;)

I wonder if Honda negotiates on 2012? If you don't mind to share out of the door price, I'll appreciate it.
 
Congrats on the new Wing, love those colors.

You aren't the only one here with a Wing and a sport bike although my sport bike will not keep up with the busa.

Hope to see you on the rides!
 
Very Nice! Ready to break it in?
You know it, already working on it!

Yes and Honda had another $1000 incentive to sweet'n the deal. Won't comment on my final OTD but I saved several thousand at sub 25K.

Thanks for the hint! I was shopping for 2012 audio comfort and dealer wasn't negotiating much.

Congrats! I myself may need to downsize for a bit, but when it comes time to get back into the saddle of a bigger bike, a GW is a likely contender. Yours looks great.
