Hi
I am new to this forum and not yet a legitimate member.
Currently I am an ST1300 rider and am real serious about purchasing a 2010 new Goldwing.
Anyone out there that has made this type of switch and can be a bit helpfull with regards the type of ride, handling etc.
I will make the switch however, every bit of input helps.
Thanks in advance and I hope I will enjoy this site as much as the the St1300 Forum.

Hello from Seattle!


I am sure you will find some folks who have done just what you are thinking of doing.

Welcome from Texas. I just made the switch from a Triumph Rocket lll that I really loved. The increased riding pleasure that the Wing has brought to my wife made the trade worth it. I think you'll enjoy the sport bike like handling of the Wing.

Welcome to the forum from Pennsylvania. Others have made the switch and I'm sure they are glad they did. They may chime in here shortly. Ride safe..

Welcome to the forum, I went from an old 80 Honda CB750 to Wings. I'm sure you will love the bike.

Hello and welcome to the forum. I went from a Honda CM400 to the Wing. I never made a better choice in my riding experience.

Welcome along zakzozeen. I along with a cople others here moved from the ST1300 to an 1800. I thought I'd miss the braking of the ST but I don't, the GL's binders (my ST didn't have ABS and my Wing does) are great. I thought I'd miss the straight line performance and I don't actually. I also thought the Wing would feel big compared to the ST but it doesn't (I'd owned a 1200 and a 1500 in the past). Another thing I don't miss about the ST is the real life threat of getting tossed in the klink for outlandish speeds which the ST is certainly capable of. I still ridee outside the legal envelope more often than I should, but so far (touch wood) all that's happened is a couple friendly reminders by way of the bubblgum machine indicating to turn the wick down some. Mrs certainly likes the rear seating much better. Besides, you can spend way more money on farkles for a Wing

Hello and welcome to the forum from Pa. I started with a 1300 VTX ,rode it for 5 years until I decided I needed a larger bike. I bought the Wing and had very little growing pains. The biggest difference was the weight. I still have the VTX but I don't ride it much,the Wing is just to nice to let it sit.
