Hi all,
Following a disappointing ownership experience with a Kawasaki GTR1400, I've finally bitten the bullet and got one of these fabulous Goldwings.
I've wanted one of these for years, but never been able to afford one. Having come into some unexpected money I thought that with the Kawasaki PX, and a large amount of cash, I could finally afford a nice new 2009 Wing. I got this from Branston's in Yeovil with only 3 miles on the clock! It went back in 7 days later for the 600 mile service and now after a couple more weeks it now has well over 2,000miles on it!!!!!
I regularly ride from Somerset to Scotland, 500 miles each way, and cannot believe how comfortable the bike is, I've been caught in some really bad summer downpours and the weather protection is first class. Handling is fine for such a big, heavy machine and economy is fine at normal speeds (45-50mpg) but it can get a bit thirsty when "making progress" (35mpg).
Very happy all round with the bike and looking forward to many more miles. Anyone have any advice on tyre wear rates or any problems that I should be aware of? Any guidance would be appreciated.
Ride safe.
