Well I wouldn't have considered the Goldwing a "flagship" model, but that's just me.

Also perhaps I should have added USA to the other countries where Honda builds bikes, and where the finish just might not be up to Japanese best standard?

Personally,i think that's bullshit.

All bikes have their good and bad models,but i thought it would be interesting to run a poll and see what the outcome is.

So you're starting a conversation on the exact same topic you thought was bullshit??!?!

I've owned more Suzukis than any other brand but currently own a Kwaka. Most favouritest ride I've had was on a Honda cbr1000rr... One day I'll officially come out of the closet, I guess...

But it also means I don't know how to answer your poll... not that it matters, since it's bullshit!

'Reasonably' sure I've read the word in the 'wing press kit. Not 100%.

That's why i voted, "i don't favour any brand".

I like green ones but black or red are good too.

Errr yes - I didn't mean that in a disparaging way - just that they offer a cheaper ticket price to get you on the roundabout.

LOL!! No offence of course, had a chuckle. It did remind me though on the way in to St.Johns this morning, the light started flashing at Takapuna, so I'll have to top up on the way home.

At $48000 surely they would be THE flagship model?

Dunno the ones I've looked at, and the one I rode, didn't immediately impress me that way. Again, that's just me.

I'm not sure if the "flagship" thing correlates directly to the dollar signs. But then I'm assuming that the market for Goldwings is relatively small in this country...

Honda do seem to a bit overdue for some new models to carry their flag.
