I saw that on the Honda website when I was checking out the specs on their new CB1100. It actually looks pretty badass for a big 'wing!

FYI fellow Wing rider at work is 6' 7" and around 280 pounds...amazingly he fits fine on the wing....:D His knees are not anywhere near the bars......

Also I seriously doubt that that guy is more than 5'9"....

If you notice at six foot my knees are atleast a foot + from the bars...lol

Ha ha ha ha - I just looked the Wing up on the web, it really is called a Bagger. I thought the title of the thread meant Bonnie Black likes to "bag out" (lay grief on) on Wings.

Anyway, what's not to like Lee, is 381 kegs. FMD!! That's well over two and a half time the weight of my bike.

I know we ride at opposite ends of the spectrum, we look for different thrills, but that's a phat phuken motorbike.

Yeah, I think that's the answer. After reading all your comments and careful consideration, I'm going to go ahead and like it.

It's a big bike for sure, but that picture accentuates it a bit. Here is another picture of chisel-jaw on it, with a more neutral camera perspective:

It does look surprisingly cool, and from the Honda perspective it's a can't loose deal since they basically didn't have to do much of anything to create it.

Still, I can't help but think....why? It's still a huge bike best at swallowing up interstate 1000 miles at a gulp, except now it's less practical.

Ah well, practicality be damned-it does look cool.

Hey Lee,

When you are into weird schit like getting on two wheeled cars and travelling across the universe with only one servo stop; what kinda mods do you do?

I can't imagine you'd mess with the usual stuff like make it faster or corner better. I imagine you'd put in a flat screen tele or spa pool or a billiard table or some schit. What do you do to a 380 kg bike with your bling money?

That's one ugly bike! The mirrors are as big as the dudes helmet. It looks like a tractor on two wheels. I can live with the looks of the wing, although functional, I wouldn't call it hot looking. But this things fairing and mirrors are way out of proportion,IMO. And people made fun of the new trophy!

I resized the adveretising picture so the fairing just in front of the knee is pretty close to the same size as the red bike. Sort of looks like the two riders are very close to same height judging by length of lower leg alone.

It's big and ugly, but it still can't do things as well as a car can.

Another example of Honda being able to build a bike that makes certain folk weak in the knees with longing.

The thing weighs 2 tons, only guys as big and tough as Lee can handle them (look what the current tiny gwing just did to his shoulder) and you need a ticket just to board one.

As big as the new Trophy is it is still able to fit into a standard parking spot and has no need for reverse gear.:D

Not true I'm afraid. I went out on a ride once with a couple of Tie-pilots maniac friends. One of them was a little dude riding a Gold Wing, and he threw that thing around with no trouble at all. I couldn't shake him at all on my Bonneville. He was simply a better rider than me. I hate to admit it, but there it is.

Wait a minute. It's a Honda. Where are all of the boring comments.

I like the look of it. Dare I say it looks exciting?
