There's a lot to love about Honda's® reinvented Gold Wing. To begin with, the 1832cc flat-6 is one of the most dynamic, powerful, imposing, and just plain cool engines ever offered in a production motorcycle. Then there's the slick Gold Wing drivetrain, with its snicky shifts and no fuss shaft-drive, the sporty twin-spar aluminum frame that lets the massive cruiser move like a track bike, and the stability inherent with such a long wheelbase and a low center of gravity. We've got the new 2014 Honda Gold Wing® Audio Comfort for sale at Cycles Of Jacksonville. Find us at 8209 Atlantic Blvd Jacksonville, FL 32211 or give us a call at (904) 721-2453!

True, much of the "new" Valkyrie has been previously admired in the do't-fix-what-ain't-broke Gold Wing and its spin-off F6B bagger, but there are a few, key differences. The Valkyrie sports a taller, 19-inch front wheel, mildly rearranged rake and trail, and a slightly longer fork. Its sporty twin-spar aluminum frame has been modified so the Valkyrie can wear a more open, traditional rear fender.

And the looks, yes. The look is something new, and quite a curiosity. The Valkyrie's new futuristic muscle-bike look, with those heavy fenders and burly, plastic-wrapped radiator pods shooting from each side, makes you wonder who's styling things at Honda these days. Honda® reps say this new design is about attracting fresh, young riders and not necessarily trying to please existing Valkyrie fans, which is a bit of a shame because that is one hearty bunch-full of passion for the moniker, now as much as ever. Affluent built-in customers they are, just itching to buy a new version of their beloved.

Whether you're drawn to the new Valkyrie's aesthetic or not, it's no surprise that the motorcycle works like a charm. It's so Honda® that way: build a 752-pound motorcycle that feels like a featherweight the minute you're underway. The power train is incredibly smooth with flawless throttle response and spot-on gearing (you don't miss overdrive).

Braking feels solid, and the bike, though heavy, is quick to slow. ABS is only available on the black version, although you can order a black unit without ABS. Most of the journalists preferred the blacked-out styling on the blue version and its more sinister vibe. The anti-dive that helps tranquilize the heavyweight Gold Wing and F6B models isn't included in the Valkyrie package, but quick stops are still very controllable.

As with the Gold Wing and F6B, this new family member feels surprisingly sporty. The larger front hoop, extended fork and plow-style bar do combine to distance you from the road surface, yet handling is still quick and efficient, and thanks to the low-slung engine and long wheelbase it would take an earthquake to upset a line.

Suspension is tidy at the stock setting, with additional rear preload available if you're carrying luggage or a passenger. But then the bike will look so cool and clean when you lose the detachable pillion seat you'll probably want to ride alone. The rider's seat, however, does not appeal for long days. It's ample, but very firm and hard on the bum. Otherwise, the ergonomics are roomy and comfortable, although very tall riders might feel hemmed in by the side-mounted radiators. These same protrusions do a nice job deflecting wind and cold air from the rider's legs, while not allowing engine heat to warm up the cockpit.
