The world's first-class ticket to relaxed and luxurious motorcycle touring - the incomparable 2007 Goldwing - will be available in the middle of November in dark orange metallic and dark blue metallic colour schemes.

This legendary Grand Tourer celebrated its 30 year anniversary two years ago and there are no signs of its popularity slowing down.

(Sales, in fact, have increased 75% for the first nine months over the same period last year.)

The GL1800 Goldwing's smoothly impressive six-cylinder engine performance, remarkably responsive handling and unrivalled carrying capability all combine to create one of the most impressive, enjoyable and ultimately satisfying touring machines to traverse the highways of Australia and the world.

The bike is constructed on a lightweight and rigid aluminium twin-spar frame designed to ensure a light and easy balance of handling.

Its remarkable power comes from a strong, responsive and always reliable 1800cc fuel-injected engine that drives its rear wheel via a quiet, maintenance-free shaft drive system.

Braking confidence is ensured by Honda's peerless Dual Combined and Antilock Brake Systems that work in seamless concert to ensure smooth, unruffled braking control over all the varying road surfaces the Goldwing might encounter.

Of course, the Wing's extensive list of high-tech features such as its motor-assisted rear suspension adjustment, pushbutton electric reverse, cruise control and RDS radio entertainment system combine to make long-distance trips a truly wondrous touring experience.

Last year, a new deluxe Comfort Package was introduced that provides an extended range of riding enjoyment whenever the weather turns cold.

Attention has also been paid to the Goldwing's class-leading concern for the environment, and it now sports a system that reduces exhaust emissions to far below government mandated limits, for the cleanest exhaust in its performance class.

The 2007 Goldwing includes a Genuine Honda Accessories Kit complete with fog lights, rear speakers, CD player, stay and nylon inner bags, as well as $500 worth of additional free accessories of the customer's choice! Customers also receive free 24 Hour HRCA Roadside Assistance for 12 months.

Recommended Retail Price is $39,990 plus on road costs. For more information and full specifications, as well as a list of Honda Goldwing Dealers, log on to: www.hondamotorcycles.com.au.
