Both of my feet reach to the ground firmly, and my knees bend like this.
It is a upright position.
It is hard to get tired because you can keep your body in neutral position.
The steps are also set in very relaxing position.
It is a suitable riding position for the Grand Tour.
There is the big change in the front fork.
The conventional telescopic type has changed to double wishbone type.
In the case of telescopic type, the front fork will little bit bends when braking.
"Due to the sliding resistance, the movement will get worse and the pitching motion will tend to be too far.
Therefore, your posture becomes easy to change and get tired easily."
On the other hand, this double wishbone type almost got no posture change.
Of course, I could feel a bit sinking, but I did not lean forward when I applied the brake.
It feels like both front and rear side sinking equally.
Also, because this front folk is supported by 2 aluminum pillars, the rigidity is very high.
There was stability even when I doing a hard braking that seems to affect the front and rear ABS.

It is a very stable suspension.
The position of the engine became closer to the front due to the
and precision of taking a corner becomes dramatically improved.
To wrap it up, I cn say that this motorcycle is a new generation of “Gold Wing.”
This A”Gold Wing” is for both a new era and a new generation.
It is a motorcycle which tries to rejuvenate this time, at the same time, you can enjoy tandem riding more sporty and more comfortable.
I think that it can be said that it is a "King of motorcycle" in a new meaning of the entire luxury, running performance and comfort.
This is Ms. Murakami who have rode as a passenger this time.
How do you feel about this motorcycle?
I feel a sense of luxury as the first impression.
I can be happy if someone picks me up with this motorcycle.
The seat was soft. The balance between stability, a feeling like wrapped in back rests and arm rests, and a feeling of release were very nice.
It was just like I was riding a convertible.

How did you feel when you were riding along a winding road and ocean road?
I could feel stability all the time. It was absolutely safe during the test ride, even if the motorcycle was in banked position at a corner, I was not scared at all.
After changing the setting of the suspension to for two-seater on the way, it changed such as I was riding a high-quality sedan.
How was the infotainment such as music and headset?
The headset made by B com make clear sound.
It was a very dramatic ride because I was able to listen to the music while I was riding the motorcycle.
It sounded like I was listening to a music in the room.
Seat heater works great. It was a great help because not only the seat but also the entire back rest warms up.
Seat heaters are both for passenger and for rider, also there is grip heater as well.
This new “Gold Wing” has many functions and left nothing to be desired.It is an exceptionally luxurious, and a good motorcycle.
