Segment: Touring
Production years: 2006, 2007
The Goldwing is the kind of touring bike which blurs the boundaries between luxury and practicality, while offering a massive head-turning factor and providing the rider with an excellent reason to cross the next state line, too.
Integrated multimedia and satellite navigation, premium comfort for both rider and passenger, huge storage, optional ABS, seat and grip heating, and even an airbag (in the top trim) are all making the 2006 GoldWing stand form the crowd. And adding in massive power and torque figures only makes things better.
