Faults:

I never had a problem with the "Wing" in the 30,000 miles I owned it. I put brakes and tires on it, and that's all.

General Comments:

This was my third Goldwing, I owned a 1200, 1500 & the 1800. The 1800 is the best of all, but they were all wonderful bikes. The 1200 didn't seem to care about curves too much, and the 1500 had to much of a "Buick" ride. The 1800 has the best handling and performance of all. The last leg of a trip, I put on almost 700 miles in one day, and did it in comfort.

The bike maybe a bit heavy, but that's what gives it the comfort. It excels on the open road, and may not be the best for short errands.

It's the number one touring bike in the world, year after year, for good reason.
