Purchase or Not

[PITWING]

Have a 1999 Goldwing SE with 19,500 miles that’s in excellent condition. Aside from being 21 years old, it’s has no concerns. Have a deal on a left over 2018 Goldwing Tour DCT for my bike and $16K (plus tax/plate). Is it a good buy and worthwhile purchase? Retired in April 2019 and plan to do more riding in the coming years. Seems moving to a new bike with all the latest upgrades (including a warranty that can go for 8 years) is an good move. Welcome your thoughts as well as your comments on the 2018+ Goldwing Tour DCT. Thanks!

Its time for the upgrade you'll love the new ride plus that's a great price for it. I have a 18 DCT non tour model I did not like the new trunk style so I chose the non tour model for 20,000 so your getting a great buy. After all your retired now so go for it we all deserve and new toy when we have the 2 wheel fever. Ride safe Ride A Lot.

Copper tone, thanks for the comment and words or encouragement on retirement and the purchase. I agree it’s a well deserved retirement gift!
