Ideally, you would want to mate a shaft drive to a V-twin power plant to attain sport touring Nirvana.

Too bad they don't make anything good like this.

Right over the head.

Orson's silence has me scared....like when your dad got really mad at you and didn't say a word. 

You knew something bad was coming next.   :couch:   :willy:

In the nearly 40 years of making Goldwings, Honda has never put in a 6th gear.

5 has fit them just fine.   I used to think it was an oversight.  But having put over 100k miles on various models, I have to say, they did, and continue to do just fine.

And, yes, I know my consolidated 100k miles is NOTHING compared to what others have done with their Goldwings. FJR's
