It is a breeze to start, it has very little vibration, has a great braking system, and plenty of power. It is a little heavy in close, congested traffic, but on the open road, it is truly a dream.... read more

I bought this bike to see if I'd like the bigger style of a touring bike. My other is a 1987 Super Magna that I love the looks of, but cannot pack for weekend trips on.

I bought this bike to see if I'd like the bigger style of a touring bike. My other is a 1987 Super Magna that I love the looks of, but cannot pack for weekend trips on. The Gold Wing has plenty of room to pack, but I needed to put on highway pegs as my legs are in a position that I cannot ride for many miles before cramping. The bike has been very reliable, and has the power to pull that big of a bike. Great lean angles for its size. Easy to work on as well - get a manual and you should be able to do about everything yourself. Great bike!

I always thought I would never be able to keep up with the men in my family on their trail motorcycles, because of their larger size, they ride larger, faster bikes with more power. I am a small, young woman who has been riding motorcycles nearly all of my life, and couldn't find a bike to suit my smaller size with as much performance on the difficult Arizona desert trails. Then I found this motorcycle. Absolutely perfect. Smaller, lighter, low-end torque, if my TLR200 can't climb it, neither can there's. There are only a few drawbacks to this bike. On the rare occasion that I want to go above 45mph, this bike vibrates a lot and gets rather shaky because it is so lightweight (and so am I). Although the lightweight and torque allows me to jump almost anything. Working on the carb is a pain, it is much harder to get off than most bikes, and if you aren't careful you'll bend in your aluminum float (like I did). The stiff shocks and small seat can get uncomfortable after a couple hours also, and I usually end each day riding with sore legs (from standing up on it) and a couple bruises on my backside (from sitting down on it). But the experience of this bike is well worth it. I would love to see more bikes like this on the market, but until then, I'll never own another motorcycle (for my personal use), only my Honda TLR200 will do.
