Yama Mama Posted September 5, 2006 #1 Posted September 5, 2006 My husband and I were in Fayetteville, Ohio over the weekend. We saw this really nice Gold Wing Trike. There was a whole group of GW riders. We thought it was pretty unique.
alemar Posted September 6, 2006 #2 Posted September 6, 2006 Looks a lot like mine (purchased 8/26/06) however mine is titanium....and the trike has the Champion kit installed with the running boards.....The gold one is really a fine lookin' ride. By the way, NOW my wife wants to ride since the trike is more stabile. We're off to Morehead City tomorrow for lunch and then a trip to the state aquarium.......

Ladyrider Posted September 6, 2006 #3 Posted September 6, 2006 yes they are nice. around $23,000? More nice than I can afford to be.
Yama Mama Posted September 6, 2006 Author #4 Posted September 6, 2006 Gee I was guessing even more than that. I just knew it was real expensive.
bikenut Posted September 6, 2006 #5 Posted September 6, 2006 That one is very nice and it would be more like 35 to 40000.00 because that is the best one out there. bikenut nice job

hale374 Posted September 7, 2006 #7 Posted September 7, 2006 The bike alone is 20 grand. Plus I noticed he had dual antennas and fog lights, which means he probably paid for all the extra goodies that Honda has. That stuff isn't standard. So that puts the bike alone at at least 25 grand. Plus that trike kit is top of the line, at least 12-15 grand for it alone. I'd say a good 40 grand in that bike if not more.
Yama Mama Posted September 7, 2006 Author #8 Posted September 7, 2006 That is why it is painted GOLD! :mo money: :mo money: :doh:
alemar Posted September 8, 2006 #9 Posted September 8, 2006 I must have the economy model !! HAGD, Alex
Carbon_One Posted September 6, 2007 #10 Posted September 6, 2007 I was at a honda dealership tonight and there was a 07 Goldwing MotorTrike conversion on the floor. Asking price was 32k. Nice bike . Oh and that wasn't all dressed out like some Wings I've seen so safety chrome added on would easly push that figure into the 35-40k quoted earlier here. Nice but too nice for this poor ole boy here too. Larry
YamaGeezer Posted September 6, 2007 #11 Posted September 6, 2007 To me, if you trike your motorcycle, you're not "biking" anymore. What's the difference between a trike and a convertible (besides the obvious # of wheels)? If it has more than two wheels, it ain't biking. I also believe trikes to be dangerous - even more dangerous than regular motorcycles. JMO, of course.
SteveW Posted September 6, 2007 #12 Posted September 6, 2007 Very nice looking ride !!! I'm not really one for a Tryke and not sure just how stable they are. I had a Big Red 3 wheeler in the Mtn's of NC when we lived there and you could turn it over in a heart beat if not careful. I'm sure a Tryke would be alot more stable but with the extra speed on the highway I won't want to make a quick turn.
Eddy Posted April 24, 2008 #13 Posted April 24, 2008 There's several trikes in our Goldwing Chapter and they all love them. They're offer a lot more protection should you ever be involved in an accident. They have better brakes, are easier to see, don't worry about dropping in gravel, sand, dirt, oil, antifreeze, etc. Don't have to balance with your feet. Also, you can't keep up with them in the twisties, just the straight roads. I love my Venture, but my next bike will be a trike of some sort. Eddie--Winchester, ky.

I also believe trikes to be dangerous - even more dangerous than regular motorcycles. JMO, of course. I have to disagree with you on this I have a 1986 Yamaha venture Trike & a 2006 Yamaha venture and I love them both. when riding them both I have the same feeling on both. So I don't know how you can state that we are not biking. Have you ever given it a try. Try one and see what you will say after you take one out. Also as for saftey anything can be unsafe and the reason is who is operating it is the unsafe part. Just my thoughts. Don't get mad at me. Ride safe no matter what you ride. Bikenut:stirthepot: Also
SilvrT Posted April 25, 2008 #15 Posted April 25, 2008 there must be something missing here... I'm still trying to find the one referenced in the original post. ???????

SilvrT Posted April 28, 2008 #17 Posted April 28, 2008 hey "T", if you'll look at the date of the original post, that might give you a clue! lol just jt Yeah... I saw that but there were other, more recent posts as well and I expected at pic or something in the first post coz of some of the responses. So, sorry, but I don't see any clue here LOL
HGWT Posted July 8, 2008 #18 Posted July 8, 2008 I have a trike and from time to time I toy with the idea of selling it but then I would need something else to ride. Situations change, my wife rides no more and I need a bike with the sidecar. Wife wont ride so I could take my dog with me. If you hear of a rig with a hack Send them over to me, Maybe we could work a deal on a swap.
