It's that little orange thing under the helmet.







You probably would have said the same thing if he had posted a picture of his "L".

I'll bet that thing weighs almost 500 lbs.

Enjoy, and ride her in health. Very nice.

Purdy! Someday I'll buy myself one of them critters.

Closer to 800lbs I bet! Nice color.

Closer to 800lbs I bet!

Probably close enough to win that bet.

Published specs say that "dry weight" is 799.

Add in a gallon of oil, about 6.6 gallons of fuel and close to a gallon of coolant, and it's 850 pounds, plus any accessories.

I see a few accessories there, so I would put the wet weight at about 875.

Rekon Yoshi or V&H makes a nice 6 into 1 for that thing

Nah, just pulling his leg, but the wing does have a passing resemblance to a space ship, LOL!

I'm not usually a fan of Goldwings or orange but put them together and wow! Very nice!!

Oh my...

I would like to hear that on the road. People must give it crazy looks

[Wingsconsin]

Yes--- 800+ lbs -- And only 118 HP to push it too...
Hardly makes it up a hill if the wind is blowing.
But I like the Orange color - and I will be keeping my GS850GL for local commuting and fun riding.
But this year I am planning on 3 weeks of riding out west in the Rockies and I will love the Goldwing for that.

Soon my 1996 GL1500 Pearl Blue will be up for sale if anyone really might be interested in getting a well kept nice Goldwing to add to their stable...

Wait, Goldwings only have 118hp??? Oof It would be a slug then huh? I thought the flat 6 would produce a little more hp. I bet it makes even in torque right?

Still want to try to ride one!!!

[Steve]

I was thinking it's more like 120 hp, but his might have been before the ECM was adjusted.

Yes, they do have an "adequate" amount of torque. Maybe not quite enough to pull a train, but lifting the front wheel is not out of the question.

YouTube proof.
