There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

I like the engineering behind it but the front end styling looks like he ran into a packing crate

Do not like the looks of the frunk, but Goldwing reliability OH MAN! I love my Spyder looks and ride. But do worry about being left side the road with all the electrical problems. D.E.S.S. Etc.
anyways B.R.P. Better get these things figured out soon, cause both Honda and Yamaha have a reverse trike prototype in the wings for 2019 or 2020. The Yamaha will be a leaning trike like the Piaggio, Honda will be based on the Goldwing engine. Was never left by my goldwings save for a flat rear tire on my 79. Put 123,000 miles on that one. Normal maintance, 2 timing belts, a thermostat, shaft seals once, wheel bearings once. If I had known about this kit, I most likely would have gotten a used Wing and did the kit.

Looks neat, kinda like a :spyder2:. I love my :ani29:. Part of the reason I liked it and was drawn to it is because it is built that way from the start.
It it will be interesting to see how things play out. Thanks for bringing this up because I hadn't heard about it yet.

Ugly. The one from Holland looks better, IMO.

Better in person
Saw it at Daytona Bike Week and much better than the pictures. Front looks a lot better when you can really see it. The big advantage of it is the seat. A lot more comfortable than the Can Am both single and 2 up. Had I seen it before I bought the RT Ltd I'd have most likely owned one. Just my opinion after seeing it, sitting on it and test driving it.

That is the worst design of bike and lines i"ve ever seen! Looks like they had a designer who didnt even know what a Goldwing was. need to round that front end off big time....My 2 cents

One of the best things I like about my 2016 rt limited is the semi auto trans . I love it . After ridding all my life and left foot shifting , I have destroyed the toes and have major arthritis in the left foot . I guess you could add the Pingle electric shifter , but that is a 1000 dollar plus labor add on for the Goldwing . Don't get my wrong I liked the Goldwing as I had seven of them ,and it is one of the best highway machines out there , but I guess old father time has just caught up with me , but I still have my knees in the breeze .And I agree with you that the front of the Motortrike is ugly . I guess they have a grill insert add on for it , but I don't think that will help much . . Did I mention that I love my Limited ?

Well, seeing how Goldwings last forever, this could be considered a dual purpose bike.:yikes:
