Greetings, i just traded my Ultra Classic for a Goldwing. That's right an old Harley nut. Had several Harleys, and have to admit that as i get older, this Wing is the bike of choice. Why didn't someone tell me how smooth these bikes are?

Welcome to the forum and congrats on your new Wing. The more you ride it the more you like it. Ride safe.

My 07 is my first Wing. Had a 2000 Valkyrie before this. Can`t imagine wanting anything else now.

Just sold my Ultra Classic last week, bought my first Gold Wing, a 06 w/comfort package and ABS. I just could not take the heat coming out of engine any longer, wife refused to ride it on hot days, and where I live most everyday is hot. It was great fun when I got to ride it, it spent a lot of time at the dealership, good thing I bought a 7 year service contract with it. I'm really impressed on how well the Wing handles. It feels like a sport bike on the twisties, with tremendous power. I put a thousand miles on in less than 2 weeks. Still getting friendly with it, wife enjoys riding again. Enjoy your new ride.

Rick I'm sure somewhere along the line somebody did but being Harleysized kept you from Hearing. Just joking.

Anyway welcome to the W.W.W. (wonderful world of wings) & to the site it's good to have you on board.

I also traded my Ultra Classic in for a Japanese bike but I did not go directly to the wing, I wasen't old enough at the time. I traded for a new 2000 Kawaski nomad 1500. After 5 years and 85,000 miles I was finally old enough for a wing. I just purchased my second wing a month ago. It is a 2010 with Nav. I will never own another kind of bike. Richard

That's interesting. I wanted a new Nomad this past summer until I took one for a test ride at last. Ten minutes was all it took. No way was I buying the Nomad. Liked the look, but didn't like the seating position or exhaust noise. Went out and bought my 07 Wing a couple of weeks later. Much prefer the riding position on the Wing. Guess I'm not part of the 'feet forward' crowd. Some one recently described the Goldwing to me as the world's largest sportbike. I have to agree.

The wing is a sport bike in drag and besides 90% of the Harleys are still on the road...the other 10% made it home

OK Desertdog58, now that's the sort of lines i need for my Harley Buds. That's too funny.
