Welcome to the forum from Pa. Heated seat and grips were standard on 2009 and up models. They were an option on prior years. Nav was part of the level 2 package. Nav and ABS were on the level 3 wings. Airbags were the top of the line package.
If you check the site below you can get a lot of info on the Goldwing.

Welcome to the GWOF from Seattle.
For me, it is the Wing that I can pay cash for. I can't wait until 2022 so I can ride one of those new 2012 models.

With several dealers now back from dream land to the real world, several are discounting the 2012's by $4,000 off MSRP. Just a thought.
Even w/the improvements on the 2012 NAV, IMHO, one would be wiser to avoid that option, purchase the GL2way, integrate a GPS into that system. Adding the BikeMP3 to the GL2way makes an already great sound system even better!
Also, I would avoid the comfort system(Standard on the 2012!). Say that because, although the grips work great, the seat, IMHO is worthless in cold weather(my bottom is not the part that needs heating in cold weather!)
Hurry back-you're missing good riding days!

Amen!! Just went and looked in my garage to make sure you didn't steal my Yellow Wing!
IMHO, the base grade Wing is best! I love to get lost, no need for a NAV Sys. I hook up my Ipod (Thank You Steve Jobs) and can listen to my music at 80mph without earphones/buds. My earing is lousy, so I don't need a super stereo sound. The air bag, hmm...at the speeds I travel I don't think the bag will help, hope I never have to find out!! Whichever Wing you buy, you'll love it.
