Re: 2018 Goldwing
I have a Pearl White DCT Tour and love it. Amazing machine. Only add on items are Honda backrest and Honda passenger arm rests.
I have talked to a couple of 6 speed owners and they are very happy too.

Re: 2018 Goldwing
Have a gray bagger dct and love it more every time I ride it. Just shy of 8000 miles on it. Get 260 miles/tank in town, 275-290 on hwy. Great power and handling. GPS is better with updates, still not great.

At what speed on the highway and for what distance are you riding on the highway? Long rides or short rides?

Re: 2018 Goldwing
Has that been all at once on the highway or broken up?
I ask as I ride cross country NH to Oceanside yearly, towing my trailer. Like to find out if there is enough savings on fuel mileage at 80 and above as most highway traffic is flowing at that.

I guarantee there will not be enough fuel savings to pay for a 2018 bike......
It ain't about the destination - it's all about the journey

Re: 2018 Goldwing
Not my line of thought.
Only as to distance traveling long distance because of smaller tank, bucking headwinds, towing camper and gear....
I've been down in the 130 miles on a tank or 2 staying with the flow of traffic to make time and distance.(not my preferred traveling)

My son is going to enjoy it for many years to come.
Re: 2018 Goldwing
Pulling the square box trailer in my Avatar, at 80 mph the range is about 150-175 miles depending on headwinds.
at 70 it gets about 32 mpg, it 85 it drops down to 25ish.

Re: 2018 Goldwing
Absolutely love mine got the DCT non tour model Pearl Stallion Brown what a great ride i had a 2010 wing had to sell it. Went to Harleys never happy with them had two just did not like the ride decided to trade back for a wing and love every second i am on it so glad i am back on a Wing. Once you get on one your spoiled for that type of ride Ride Safe Ride a lot.
