X-Machine, the topic is about Goldwing's in Mumbai itself. And there are two confirmed Goldwings in Bandra.

Dude X-Machine,
Both are in Bombay and in Bandra. The yellow one which you had seen after the speed run was Adils which went to Delhi then came to Mumbai and now I am guessing is in Kolhapur. Raju Shaikh sold it in Kolhapur.

Are all these features required on two wheels?
Well, firstly in countries that have wide freeways and well maintained road systems, for those with some extra disposable income who want to experience the 'elements' first hand, these bikes do everything except making coffee!! Actually the intercom is a good feature as normal communication with your passenger becomes difficult due to wind sound after speeds of 100-120 kmph, plus the constant turning of the head. As for the CB radio, its really useful and fun when you are doing long rides in groups and want to communicate with the other bikers for a gas stop or a photo shot or just to ask for directions etc. As for the reverse mechanism, when you have a bike that weighs 350-400 plus kgs, I am sure a reversing mechanism is very very useful. Besides, in the US a lot of Goldwing riders are in the 50 plus age group so you need all the more pampering with things like Cruise control to avoid the wrist aches, high windshield to avoid body aches etc!!! The one single motorcycle event where you see thousands & thousands of Goldwings bikes & trikes (three wheels) is the Americade Rally in Lake George, US that is held every June.
