Really!? I think somebody is pulling our chain!
I'm still not sure I believe it. What would that Honda Wing weigh? C'mon, it would be like a ton!

Did you read the comments below the pics? It alleges that it is the Chinese who are using these. Anyhow, kind of a waste of a perfectly good 1500cc Goldwing.. Not that it shouldn't be able to pull a toyota or two..

It wouldn't surprise me that it's for emergencies. I recall reading somewhere that a Highway Patrol Officer here in the U.S. spoke about using his Cop Bike to push cars off the road. The Gold Wing is a stout bike with a big motor. Nothing it does would shock me.

Mega power or not, you still have to ride the thing around, with 500 lbs up above the center of gravity. I'm still not convinced. There's always photoshop. Rich

Something like this but made to tow other motorcycles/scooters would be perfect. That I could understand. Tried looking it up and a couple web pages said they been in use in Asia for 5 yrs but also saw claims that the Swedish company that created them has gone bankrupt.

one thing for sure, that moto is not belt driven...
and maybe a two wheel drive??!
only proves how smart japs are.... if it was a chino scoot,aaahh it wouldve been torn into half when it pulls the car, jizzz!!
now, sell your chinese scoot and your beat up Vespa ET this winter and get a jap scoot.

Lol,, yup Taiwanese scoots are waaaaay better than chinos,, theyre almost leveling with jap in terms of quality,,,
i dunno why chinos were left behind maybe because they're only up to making a rapid buck, oh i mean quick buck ,they dont care about quality and safety, ...now where is rapidjim, i miss him!
Happy 4th rich!

Left behind? See that signature? Hear the sound of Chinese bikes about to pass you. Give it up, Chinese scooters are coming....except they're already here and people are buying them by the thousands.

We rode to Alabaster....30 mile round...and bought a new aquarium plant for Sue's newest project. Then we went to Wally World and got some white wine. Then we got take out from my favorite Thai eatery...Panda house. I got my standard....chili sauce sweet and sour shrimp....hot and sour soup...chili egg rolls...and chili sauce on the side, it barely fit in the bike. I'm on fire!!! I'll get a pic of Sue's aquarium. Rich
