I love this Goldwing dual sport

My next one might look a lot like this.

Not much ground clearance for an off road bike but for some terrain it'd be nice.

Would make light work of the " dreaded driveway" :good:

 

[chuck c]

You're not getting any air with it, that's for sure. Even if you could I wouldn't recommend it! But with all that weight it will bite into anything that isn't paved. For light stuff like muddy dirt roads I bet it would be very effective.

 

[joedrum]

i could certainly use it where i live ...nice build it is

 

[AApple]

Dang...I wanted to see some "action" vid! Not just riding up/down the road! Let's see that thing out in the DERT! Or on a hill climb!
Bet he ain't just slingin it around like a 125!! :smilie_happy: Wonder how he picks it back up when it lays over on him.... :headscratch: :hihihi:

Nice build, tho...something differnt, fer sher. :good:

Can stock Wing forks handle off road?

 

[Andyb]

I like it a lot. I was hoping for more technical stuff done to it as well because I would love to do make my wing more of a dual sport.

I like the look and applaud his mods but I just think the bike is too heavy to perform well in hilly terrain.
Add to that a clutch that complains when it gets hot getting the beast going, and it's just not a very agile bike suited for this.

Blew the fork seals.....like I was sayin.....

 

[chuck c]

Go leading link! No fork seals! Add another 20lbs to the bike.... the clutch will love that. Would an oil cooler help the clutch?

A 575lb bike with 3 inches of rear suspension travel is how shall I say, less than ideal for serious off road? But for dirt/mud roads and trails, grassy fields and if you're really crazy, snow I think it could do the job well. No chain, 5 gallons of gas, haul whatever gear you want to take.

 

[chuck c]

This worked pretty well and it's the same weight with NO rear suspension.

[joedrum]

all i can think about is how all the oldwings hammered up my driveway ... sheesh it just cant work good off in the woods around here

 

[chuck c]

These were made for this kind of pounding but they are similar in weight, length, ground clearance. I wouldn't try these jumps on a wing but everything else, yeah! Germany also used motorcycles with sidecars heavily for getting around very quickly. Jobs like hauling messages, wounded, ammo, and small numbers of troops right to the front lines.

The German Zundapp was boxer engine and shaft drive too. Here's a really good look at a restored one 30 sec. in.

It's been done by a few, here's one of the best. Not going to beat Villapoto, but sure would be fun to ride.

Very pretty. Too pretty. I bet it never gets off the pavement.
