The NEW 1800 DCT Goldwing,

I took out this beautiful machine for a 4hr road test with my good mate and Cuz Kev, Leaving Two Wheels show room heading out west to my home for my wife Linda to have a look and get her thoughts !!.

All good so fare, we continued west to West Calder before turning of the A71 toward A70 and Carenwath. This is a great road, down onto the A721 and onto the A72 for Peebles.

We stopped in Peebles for a coffee and a we blather. I must say this is a fantastic bike it handles like a sports bike when in sports mode, then down into tour mode for all the comfort's off a Goldwing that you come to expect.

After owning and ridding my Goldwing for over 20years touring all over the in the UK and Europe, I can't fault this machine, if l was to be picky l would say l am getting more through draft on my hands than l did on the 1500 !! but with heated grips and seat I'm not going to worry about that to much.

Off and running through Peebles onto the A703 heading to Leadburn love this bit of road, down to Penicuik then back in Edinburgh through the City and back to Two Wheels.

I must say the improvement in the handling and performance fare exceeded my expectations so much so I will be buying my own Goldwing 1800 DCT this year. If you are a Goldwing lover or even a sports bike lover !!!! pop down to Goldwing Scotland at Two Wheels and have a go your self.
