After I took off the windshield and the luggage racks I had what is called a Naked Goldwing. In 1997 Honda created the naked Goldwing with a 1500cc engine and called it a Valkyrie. This bike too is still a little too big. I am only 5'6". What will my next bike be? Probably something smaller with a 25" seat height.
