An all new anti-dive system utilises brake fluid pressure generated in the secondary master cylinder and is automatically activated when the brakes are applied and I feel this system does help with the sporty feel of the Gold Wing.

A new, computer controlled adjustable hydraulic rear suspension preload is easily set by the rider with push button controls and two memory settings.   The adjustment is done from the same area as the motorised headlight angle adjustment is carried out.  2.5 degrees of headlight adjustment is available from this control.

Most of my time on the Gold Wing I had the stereo blaring.  One particularly interesting song that seemed to come on quite often was "Bow, wow, wow,,, yippee yo yippee yay", now I know why I don't listen to the radio much these days....  Much better off with the optional CD stacker I reckon.

Is the stereo audible above the wind and engine noise I hear you ask? It certainly is and you can even set the volume to automatically adjust itself higher or lower in relation to what speed you are travelling. And of course there is a mouthpiece extension from the console should you wish to use the CB. Yes that's right, a 40 channel CB is an optional accessory.  Another microphone is provided for the pillion which means you also have a great intercom system.

Two 25 watt stereo speakers are fitted and you have the ability to program 12 FM and 6 AM preset stations.  Searching for stations is very easy and can even be done from the left handlebar while on the move.

The optional CB can also be controlled from the handlebar along with selecting which CD from the stacker etc.  Of course the normal headlight, horn and indicator switches are also found on the easy to use left controls.

On the right bar you have the controls for the cruise control system and reverse.  Oh, did I forget to mention that, you heard correct, the Wing has reverse.
