Chitchat Honda Goldwing 2018 - Love this bike

So this is the latest incarnation of the iconic steed. My late father had one in the 1980s. If I recall correctly, the thing had a reverse gear! He was not much of a rider, although he was a car enthusiast. Anyway, he fell one time (thankfully at low speed) and immediately sold the thing off. Is the 2018 model shaft driven like the BMWs?

Where to learn to ride a bike? Never rode one. Easy to pass? Just once in my life I was on a moving bike (pillion rider on my fellow cadet) from Safti to Orchard Road. Lol :biggrin:

Don't aim too high. Honda Goldwing is not for beginners. For beginners, try riding on some Singapore-Malaysia hybrid bike and get used to the rough and tumble, especially smoke from the exhaust pipe, pretty vulgar.

I just want to have a simple licence to ride a vespa scooter and bring my girlfriend around when she's in Singapore. Just for the "cool" feel, not serious about riding...

Then 2B is enough

Vespa = high SES

You don't have a fetish for Singapore-Malaysia hybrid bike, unlike that Malaysian dog from Pahang :cool:

Nowadays I get a new Honda Click from my Russian neighbour whenever I'm in Pattaya. Not my favorite in terms of style, but function wise it's very good.

What is a Singapore-Malaysia hybrid bike?
