$500 vs $50,000 Motorcycle 

Nah

@@bosch9905 yeah we do

Hell yeah

Please!!!!!

​@bosch9905 yes (you are not winning this)

Goldwing is the Goat

my 1991 goldwing starts up better than most of my friends new BMWs lol

That's what a flat-6 will do for ya!

​@@michaelchernobelsky4232give me yours

It’s a honda, of course it’ll last for eternity. But whats crazier is that it’s just 500 bucks

I mean Harley or Goldwing or Vespa ....but that thing they were riding...that was a Harley? Weren't Harleys meant to be beautiful ?

Correct answer 😂

That new Road Glide is ugly as a mofo, and I could never see spending $50k for a motorcycle let alone for a Harley and that’s coming from someone who’s owned several.

I have a 93 Honda Goldwing it's awesome.

Maybe for 5000 you can find one.. maybe

That new HD is something else. Not to mention if you get it for msrp you’ll be able to sell it next year and at least recoup your money, after all the riding. That Goldwing is definitely a good buy for $500, which I’m seriously doubting.

Ok what about Jerry, Jerry, and Zach being on the same thing 🤔 in the same frame

Well in of them is Uncle Jerry the other in is Jerry it’s pretty simple

As the saying goes "I have no proof but I have no doubts neither" hahahaha

Curious as to why you'd keep the Harley. From everything you listed, it sounds terrible! What are some reasons to love it?

@@kevinfranklin3155 I get why he loves his harley; 'cuz theyre cool I have a GL1500 like in this video, and an HD Electra Glide (among others), and I wouldn't give up either of them. The GL is great for just jumping on and taking a ride. Besides the rubber timing belts that need to be done every 75k ish/5 years, it's literally the most reliable vehicle in my garage. 170k on it and counting. the EG on the other hand has had constant oil leak issues and it's been through two sets of timing tensioners, one of which blew an engine (it's a pre 2007 twin-cam, so this is a well known issue). I could go on with issues with the Harley for days, but that's not the point. The point is the Harley is cool :) It sounds like a stereotypical motorcycle going down the road, it's painted bright colors and has flames on the fuel tank, it's loud, brash, and has tons of chrome. It's so much more fun to walk out to than my goldwing. Think about driving a modern Lexus IS-350/500 versus a 1969 Coronet 440. The Lexus is more reliable, functional, and probably quicker to 60 than the coronet, but the coronet is 10,000x more interesting. Some specifics that are fun on the harley; The pegs are way out front, so it feels like you're leaning back. Not optimal for around town or through a mountain pass, but fun on the freeway and looks cool The handlebars are way up high, and the seat is down close to the ground, so you gotta reach up a little more than most bikes, giving it a different feel It has a suuper old style dash and handlebars. The Goldwing's bars are covered in plastic, while the harley has big chrome bars and big chrome dials. It just adds to the old muscle car feel. Iunno, that's basically what a harley is. Rolling americana, it's awesome :D As a side note, the Goldwing is literally the second most boring bike I've had. It has damn nearly no character, which is both a blessing and a curse. It's a blessing because i can't list a single thing it does badly. It's a curse because it makes the bike itself EXTREMELY boring. It's a bike you ride to get somewhere and not focus on the bike. "I'm taking a ride today" versus "I'm taking the harley out today." The GL, the ride is the adventure, the Harley (and most other bikes), the bike is the adventure.

Add another $500-$1000 to repair things and the goldwing can become a cheap fun ride

​@@enderan647at least not another $50K

​​@@addicz2that was the point. Take care of it with some new tires, sort the carbs out, swap fluids, go over it with a torque wrench, and you got yourself one helluva good, strong, and reliable bike for 1/15th the Harley. I love Harleys, but their touring shit just ain't there

I would take anything over a Harley. 😆

I mean only for 500$, sheesh that's one good deal

Our grandparents should hang out..Mine road theirs from SoCal down through Mexico and down into Chile...they're crazy. I'll ride mine all over the State but through parts of Mexico and Central America can be a bit risky.

Your grandad is a legend.

YOUR GRANDFATHER WAS LIVING THE DREAM!!

Incredible!

Just proves that you're never to old to have adventures. Good on them.

Exactly, plus that harley is ugly lol.

they are cheap coz they made millions of them, not necessarily coz of disrepair.

​@@shblairI usually attribute it to more that people who buy them usually can afford to buy them new. These large cruisers are very common in the used market and drop in price quick. Still some of the best buys as they're usually the best maintained

@@shblairthey said there was things wrong with it though. Did they not?

@@shblairthey were all expensive when new, and they were seen as dorky and for old guys, so a lot of them were bought by dorky old guys with money to spend who took really good care of them. You don’t have to settle for a busted or mistreated GW because you can either save up another $200-$500, or just wait, and get one that was babied

Wouldn't be very much content.

Yes!!! Start with SV650s and build hi/low track day bikes.

Or a DRZ400 hi/lo

All for this!

I was thinking the same!

I don’t know why, but James and Nolan just don’t work together for me anymore.

I ship it

As long as we don’t have to see that crack head james tweaking on camera I’m all for it

​@@imarubronzenI appreciate that you're being real and polite, but I dunno if we should talk about real people that work together like that. Maybe I'm tripping I don't know

I think they're great as a duo still. I love the idea of having several duos that work together part of one channel. not a lot of channels on youtube are able to have more than one popular duo.@@imarubronzen

I mean, Harleys are worlds most expensive semi-finished products. And as a Harley owner I really do confirm this.

Yeah and believe me when I say GOOD..... Harley is geriatric highway riders and “tough” guys who want to be told where to be by a club.

never forget that harley had to lobby the US government to make foreign motorcycles more expensive...then they still went bankrupt like 5 times. Harley's are garbage motorcycles that exist solely on reputation because of geriatric old people who have a retirement fund to spend.

50K and you still have to add stuff to make it capable of doing what is meant to do? Go figure their market share is shrinking. *edited: used They're when should be Their.

Sonny Barger once said he hated the rule about having to own a Harley as a Hells Angel because he later grew to love the bikes that were coming out of Japan, and other parts of the world. However, he also said that it had originated as a way to support American manufacturing, as the club started post WWII when a lot of soldiers were coming back and working in factories. Not to mention Japan had been the enemy in the war.

Jeremiah’s videos got me into bikes 👍

@@surfer101ist Congrats! What bike did you get?

Exactly what we needed

HD is throwing those bikes at anyone with a camera.

​@DontReadMyProfilePicture.185 don't worry I won't. Stupid anyways

Same but not my heart just my dopamine receptors

They are taking one for the team - straight up Nutz to Buttz....

Same. I thought both would prefer the Goldwing tbh

​@@Willbrsei will never buy a Harley. They were once good cycle but then they became a business name. Sport is useless and touring is not as good as they promote.

That’s the general conclusion among real riders. Once you actually ride and know something about motorcycles, you realize Harley’s are garbage and for people who like the idea of riding motorcycles, not actual riding. Essentially posers

A Harley is a 50k boomer cosplay accessory

Do it!!!

I wish more Harley owners would just give it up and switch to better brands. HD really is an embarrassing line of transportation.

​@kincaid9134 as a harley owner who also owns and has owned several Hondas, kawasaki, and Ducati bikes over the years, I will say this. It's a matter of preference. No honda will ever sound like a harley, and for many, that's what the big draw is. My 2013 harley ultra just sounds and rides amazing. I also currently own a 99 Honda valkyrie. They are pretty close in creature comforts, but the valk has a lot more performance.

@@Mount56 My super tenere with an aftermarket slip on and new headers sounds way better than any Harley I've heard. But then again, you're definitely right. It is preference. Some people like the sound of their engine rattling apart and gaskets leaking everywhere.

​@@Mount56as a none Harley rider but I respect the hell out of their heritage. Us motorcyclist are strange bunch, we don't really care which is better, we just go by what appeals to us as we walk away from it. I ride a Tuono Factory and 1290SDR. Those bikes aren't what many would call good bikes let alone reliable lol.

@@kincaid9134 And here you are bringing up rattleing and gaskets leaking...You realize that bullshit was from the 60s and 70s when the AMF owned Harley? When Willie G davidson and Vaugh Beals got a bunch other investors to buy back harley things started to change, Namely with the development of the Evo engine and today with the Milwaukee 8. The twin cam engine was one of the best performing and most reliable ever created. So rather than just regurgitating the same played out forum posts from others that dont really have much in the way of interest to understand, educate yourself.

Yes please!

Add in Ryan from Fortnine too!!

Ryan, Ari, and Donut.

Please. I need it !

@@deborahchesser7375 There was one I was looking at local to me trhat just sold for just under $500 so they are out there....I wanted a sport bike though.

@@deborahchesser7375 Cheap bikes all over the place in the northeast... $500 runners exist, but the real sweet spot is 12-1500 for a bike that is a tune-up away from being your best bitch

@@kayakchrispyyea guys, Schmitz gay!

I owned 2 valks 99 interstate and a 2001 touring loved them both ,never a problem smooth ride and tons of power.

Don't forget; best sounding motorcycle ever made

My buddy had one of the first Valkyries and it was like a spaceship compared to a Harley.

Was going to say the Valkyrie was the only other bike with the flat 6 if I'm not mistaken. They used to advertise it's smoothness by placing a quarter on the engine 👌🏾

I have a 2007 Suzuki M109R cruiser, 125hp, smokes every cruiser on the highway 😁, except the Rocket 3 GT...😢

Came here to say the exact same thing! Zach will dig the pillion setup on the Challenger for sure. Lol😂

Air cooled Vs water cooled + summer time? Water cooled wins all day long

Yeah, it's kind of reminiscent of those massive Lincolns you would see in the U.S. in the late 50s early 60s.

@@kylejohnson423 yeah if those massive lincolns had an under 4 second 0-60 lol

@@Chicken_4_Dayz I mean there's a reason they were called hot rod Lincolns *fingerguns*

Harley-Davidson is running out of old men to pay as much as a decent new car for their 1950s bikes. Their electric bike is a failure because you can't hear it coming from the next county. I'd rather have the Goldwing. Quiet, runs like a sewing machine, lasts forever, comfortable, reliable, doesn't shake. It's a two-wheeled car. Just get on and cruise.

HD has more people then ever and I love how all of you that have never ridden a day in your life talk like you know anything about motorcycles or HD. Maybe you kids should try and get on a bike instead of running your mouths

Most guys are motorcycle reviewers and don’t want to go Nutz to Buttz

Especially Zach not really having any motorcycle experience, and Jerry having plenty; you really get both perspectives.

Motorcyclist magazine does. Check them out.

That goldwing would eat that trip EASILY, as opposed to the harley lol

Bro, you just called a portion of the viewership 'antiques' here. 😀 That would be a sweet 'newer' bike for some of us.

The "wrong" bike is NO bike. I own a gl1200. Love it Never dropping 50k on a scooter 😅

For real. Please do.

Yes I love it!

No offense, but you're probably not riding much if you are noticing a difference in bicycle tube quality. I've had the same experiences between them all, as I just end up with a fat thorn or nail or something. But I'm also riding over 10,000 miles a year. Finally going tubeless with my new roadie. Currently running Conti DH tires on my enduro bike. They are on par with the other high end brands.

Keep in mind there are three generations named GL1800 now! The '02-'09 got refreshed heavily for '10-17 and the 2018+ model shares basically nothing with the previous generations. I'd like to see the current bagger 'wing vs this Harley for sure.

@@TheCallMeCrazy that’s exactly what I’m saying. And any of them would probably be better than the CVO. Of course I’d love to see a flagship 2023 go head to head with the Harley but I bet that a sub $10k 2010 would be a good comparison too

That Goldwing looked like the better bike in real riding! Love 1980s/1990s Jap engineering.

Hell yes! That’d be awesome 😂

It’s so hard to find anything in that good of shape now, even though it’s a gold wing it’s still a running bike

Got mines for 500 off Craigslist 😉

I’ve seen gold wings go as low as $250 and as high as 5 grand they normally don’t sell for 5 but they are listed

@um_fu1326 I actually bought 2. One is just a nonrunning donor I got for 350. But I have seen a few going in the thousands. Honestly if I had the money to burn I'd buy one. It's a pain restoring these things 😅

Ong

They are my favorite pairing. Like Nolan and James.

Yes, It's about a $10,000 bike here and the Harley's around the $70,000 mark.

Yeah they're definitely 5 to 10k for a older one in poor condision

about 5k-8k in ireland

Here in the EU, I haven't seen one in good condition for less than 4k

Pakistan here, the most you could get for 500$ is a 150CC motorcycle, A Suzuki GS150. I would sell my 150 in a heartbeat if someone offered me a Goldwing for 500$.

You know that a valk is just a goldwing wihout all the Goldwing stuff around it?

As a tricycle rider, I would love more motorcycle content.

50k and have to buy more for the pilloion. That seems so HD

@@adriandaw3451I think the commenter means get a more comparable bike to the Goldwing… such as a Road Glide. Not add on more stuff to the HD in the video lol
