after many years of debating the issue I finally decided to get a goldwing. I found a brand new (zero miles) 2010 goldwing and bought it two weeks ago. I would like to say I have enjoyed it but so far major disappointment, in fact I regret buying it. In the two weeks i have had it I have gotten to ride it three times for a total of 167 miles, the rest of the time it has been in the shop for repairs. I rode it 135 miles the first day from the dealer to my house during which the TPMS light came on and would not go out, the tire pressure is fine. The second day I drove it to a local shop Barney's motorcycles which is one of the largest dealers in florida and they couldn't fix it because they didn't have the tool required for the repair. Took it to a second honda dealer and they kept it for one week, I then drove it home and before I pulled in the drive way the TPMS light came on again, also it seems to have a transmisson issue, when in second gear it pops back to neutral, also the rear brakes constantly scrap. Anyway the bike was then toed back to the repair shop and I was told i could expect to get the bike back in about a week. I will by then have owned the bike for three weeks and except for the first night I owned it, it will have spent every other day in a repair shop.
if it gets fixed I will try and sell it as quickly as possible, cant see myself taking this bike on any long rides. i had real high expectations for this bike couldn't be more disappointed. I know goldwings are very reliable bikes I just seemed to have picked a lemon.
