There are lookalikes and even soundalikes, but nothing that runs like the regal Aspencade. Powerful opposed four engine. Hydraulic Valve Adjuster system, famous Gold Wing handling, new sound system with Dolbytm -- the Aspencade is a touring rider's dream come true. 
The fully equipped Interstate is improved for '86 with reduced engine vibration, a travel trunk-mounted taillight/stoplight assembly and a striking new black paint finish with rich Romany Red seat color. For the touring rider who wants an integrated touring motorcycle but doesn't need a lot of electronic extras, it's clearly the machine of choice.
