Roger, must have missed that.

Just a new Goldwing Valkyrie. Nothing to more to see at Honda- just move along folks. Japanese brand sport-touring fans don't get anything new for 2014 unless they go to the Yamaha dealer for the 2014 FJR 1300 ES. (But that's a pretty sweet consolatation prize!)Did we get anything?
So now we have 3 wing based bikes all based on a 13 year old bike. Talk about squeezing the last drop out of a design. Did GM management from the 80s take over Honda?Just a new Goldwing Valkyrie.

Something It is hard to believe they will leave a 2012 model up
ACTUALLY you can still click on the 2010 ST1300 also. Why make a new one when you have who knows how many 2010 and 2012 leftovers?Something has to happen "soon". Of all the many bikes on the Honda USA website only these don't have a 2014 model: (1) the CBR250R which we know is being replaced by a 300cc version. (2) The CB1100 which has a 2013 model up. (3) The VFR1200F which has a 2013 model up (4) the ST1300 which has only a 2012 model up. It is hard to believe they will leave a 2012 model up so one would expect it to completely disappear from the site or a 2014 model shows up. Seems to late to throw a 2013 model up even though there is one on the Canadian site. So maybe they are saving the best for last or maybe the ST1300 is truly done. Either way I bet it happens before January 1st 2014.
Do you want an apple or an orange?i guess the only choices left for me are either buy a goldwing or buy a new yamaha fjr.
