So I dropped by the honda yamaha dealership to check out 3 bikes. A honda grom a honda monkey and a honda navi. I was excited and ready to start the process. After looking at them i settled on the navi. Once i spoke to the agent he told me that price was up of 4500 for the honda navi. On thier website it states 1900 rounded up. I understand taxes and fees. But 4500? I told him about the website and he said yes thats msrp. Its not what we actually said it for. So then why advertise msrp if you are not going to sell for msrp. Complete false advertisement. Show less

I am this bike's one-owner who bought my Gold Wing for my birthday. I loaded it up with every option available including an airbag, navigation and fog lights. Huntington Beach Honda dealership has all the service records since the purchase on Feb 2013. It's been housed in my carpeted-garage and considered by me a work-of-art. It has plenty of SOUL and has therefore my greatest respect. I named my bike Brutus and we talk after every ride. We've been through snow, ice, sleet, rain and Brutus is still in impeccable condition. If you won't take care of Brutus, please don't buy him. I've ridden both Harleys and BMW touring bikes in the past. Then I chatted with my Newport Beach motor-Cop neighbor who said I'm an idiot if I don't buy a Gold Wing. After a demo, I knew he was right, so I bought it. What convinced me is the well-balanced, easy to operate amazing ride and the power-reverse to get it in my garage. It is water-cooled to get me through the desert with power to get me up the Colorado Rockies. An imposing motorcycle has its advantages. Drivers can see me and I have the power of 6-cylinders to get out of their way. And don't discount the airbag's value. It will make your spouse and family members happy to know you've got it. Speaking of family, there is no motorcycle on the planet that is more comfortable for passengers! No contest. An unhappy passenger can be a miserable experience for you. Give them what they deserve, an amazing, safe and solid ride. Show less

I have owned and ridden a lot of bikes over the years, and I have to say the Goldwing is by far the most comfortable, smoothest, fastest and best handling tour bike I've ever owned. My only "complaint" is I prefer top loading saddlebags rather than side loading. Not enough of an issue to stop the purchase. This was purchased to replace an 09 Yamaha Royal Star Venture. I bought the Venture new and put over 70K miles on it with no thought to replace it, unfortunately it was totaled by an idiot in a cage that doesn't know how to use mirrors. I've had the 'Wing for almost a year now and have 11K on it. I would recommend this bike to anyone looking for a reliable, comfortable long distance tour machine. Best bike I've ever owned!

2000 miles isn't much of a road test but Hey! It's a Goldwing. I've had three Hondas in my formative years (60 years old) including a '76 GL1000, followed by six Harleys and an '11 Victory Vision. I enjoyed them all. The Vision was a joy to ride, not so much for the passenger though. I love the Goldwing, its smooth power, creature comforts and reliability. This bike will take me on many IBA rides well into my golden years. LOL. Show less

After three months of riding our new 1300 with the Motor Trike kit, we are basically pleased with the Trike. We get lots of positive comments and questions about it. Since there are many around here in Nebraska, it is almost a novelty. The only problem is the customer service. There is none. No follow-up calls or any contact from the dealer. Even the MotorTrike factory has sent me to another dealer for work on our bike. If we did this all over, I would definitely go to the local Harley dealer and get a Harley Trike. Customer service there is absolutely awesome. Never again will I go back to this dealer. Not even for warranty work or service. We are driving 90 miles for all our work now. Show less

Just bought a Goldwing Lehman trike. Between war wounds, old age and my wife's equilibrium problems we thought our riding days may be coming to an end. I stop in at the dealership at least once a month and saw where they had become a Lehman trike dealer. So we sold a Yamaha Venture and got the trike and it solves a lot of problems. My wife says she feels safer than ever before, no more grinding off kickstands and other parts. The bike is great, I put over 1000 miles on the first weekend I got it. Show less
