2019 Honda Gold Wing vs. BMW K1600GT - The Luxury Touring Review 

Guys you are by far my favorite! Great video, great interview and great location!

Great review made by two friendly guys. Since a year I own the new Goldwing DCT/Airbag and I am really happy about it

Great video! You two remind me of Ari and Zach from (used to be) Motorcyclist. You both have great comments and your personalities work very well together! Bravo!!!

Greetings from Oregon! Great video and review guys. 2 months ago I traded my 2014 Honda ctx1300 for the 2019 Goldwing airbag model and absolutely love it. No bike is perfect but this one really comes close. The performance is incredible. I'm getting 45-48 mpg. I'm about to go on my first roadtrip with it now that I feel very comfortable with riding it. I was amazed at how nimble the handling is for a heavy bike. Again, great video. Safe riding.

very impressive review guys. phantastic cameraviews and almost replicable rider impressions. thanks a lot!

Great review guys, as usual amazing camera work, thumbs up!!

You two need to do more of these comparison videos. You do a fantastic job of going over the machines and giving your opinions with a sprinkling of humor!

You guys are always entertaining, with also giving an in depth review. Cheers too you...

You guys are awsome as always, pleasure to following your tests. You are the best!

I really enjoyed you presentation of these two bikes. Thanks for the good job guys.

Thank you for this nice video with two pieces of amazing beautiful 😍❤️ art.

BEST CHANNEL EVER! sorry for the caps but it means it's truly true. Love you from Belgium!

I'm a BMW fanatic but believe you guys nailed it, the new Gold Wing is an amazing bike.

Really enjoyed this video guys, dig the colors of that Goldwing.

For the longest time I looked at the Goldwing as my grandfather's motorcycle but the new version looks meaner and stealthier I'm all for some Goldwing now.

Love the Honda, interaction between you two, scenery and beautiful buildings around the town square, hoping to visit one day! Very informative review guys, cheers!

Great review gentlemen, very fair and complimentary to both fantastic bikes. I ride a 1500 Valkyrie which shares some of the characteristics of the Gold Wing without accoutrements of comfort. I've test ridden the BMW 1600 and other models, and the BMW indeed has strengths for agility, but for cruising, the chassis of the Gold Wing cannot be beat. I wished you had addressed mountain ascents and descents, as this is where the Gold Wing suffers, like the Valkyrie. I've ridden all the European Alps and find the weight of the Wing, and the need to remain in 2nd and 3rd on ascents while using the same on descents, requires extreme diligence on the part of the rider. Doing it two-up is nearly crazy, as weight, inertia of mass on descents in hairpins makes this a challenge. I'm sure the BMW does this better. The comment about road surface is spot on; roads in Europe transition from cobblestone, to flat stone surfaces, to asphalt, and the heavy Wing must be extremely careful. Great review!

Two great machines and two great presenters. I've been to that wonderful country and to magnificent Sighisoara (unfortunately on a bus). I'd love to revisit on my K1600GTL. The roads in Transylvania are perfect for motorcycling and look incredible in the Autumn/Fall when the colours are at their best. Greetings from Dublin.

Good sandwiches - integral part of road trip 😄. Great reports, lovely scenery and fair reviews. Good quality filming too. Very entertaining, I don’t actually want either of these bikes at the moment. If and when I do I think your country would be a good destination to tour from UK 🇬🇧

Really nice video - great chat, beautiful countryside, big bikes!

Looked at and rode Gold Wing and K1600GA. Bought the K1600GA. Greater range, holds my helmet in the top box, smoother shifting and gearing ( manual Honda - I do not buy auto transmissions in my cars or bikes), replaceable GPS, etc.

Great video thank you really enjoyed all the perspectives not to mention the riding views -- really fantastic video gentleman "thank you" for your service!!!

I always enjoy your videos. After watching this, I went with the new K1600 Grand America. Loved it so much till it hit 15K. After that, nothing but crap. I was at the dealer more then you know. It was not a Lemon bike !!! Its all the damn BOSCH sensors that this engine has plus problems with Hot and cold starts plus the major recall they had on the 6th gear which I did not have my bike for like 9 days. No loaner and far away dealer. I HAD ENOUGH !!!! Sold, lost tiny on her and went to the new Goldwing DCT Tour. I have 6K on a 2020 so far. ZEROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO problems. She runs so good, so smooth, the Sport Mode is fantastic. I love the DCT and do not miss the clutch any more. I think GW from now on.....period.

Very nice video guys. I've seriously been considering the Beemer, and glad I watched your review. Time to look at the Goldwing.

great review. I enjoy your channel. thank you!

You guys are so good together. So much fun to watch. A big thumbs up. ;-) Good video by the way.

I have four bikes, a 2009 BMW RT that I recently acquired with 13,000 miles, 94 BMW R1100RS, ‘97 Honda Valkyrie with 102,000 miles and Triumph Bonneville T100. I am mulling over selling all but the Triumph and getting a new Gold Wing or BMW. The RT has already cost me $1,300 in routine maintenance, plus has a fuel gauge (fuel strip) problem that cost me $400 and is on the fourth strip. The dealership no longer works on bikes over 10 years old and the service manager said they have numerous new BMWs that can’t be sold due to leaking brake calipers.

I own a K1600GT, love the bike and for me it's perfect but two-up touring I'd lean towards the Goldwing.

I've been waiting for this. I like the functionality of the Honda Gold Wing strapped to a BMW K1600.

Great video. Good countryside, good music, good video and good presenters. Was relaxing to watch.

Awesome, classy review gentlemen!

I own a BMW GTL and ride it every day. I marvel at the engine, suspension and overall ride every time I am on it. Great review guys! Hello from Idaho. Ride across the USA soon and stop by this amazing state.

Another great video guys, I always like your stuff

The goldwing would be easier to live with from a maintenance perspective and more reliable.

Excellent analysis.Thks again guys.

Really good review. I've only been on a Harley Elecraglide Ultra Classic as far as a touring machine goes. I've been on BMW boxers and K bikes. I've owned a Yamaha FZR750R, as well as a Kawasaki 750 Vulcan. At 58 years old I'm ready to drop some serious $$ on my "retirement" bike. The fact that you two younger guys liked the Honda so much makes me lean heavily in that direction. A touring machine with enough finese and performance to satisfy. Your total delight with the machine confirms why it is the cult classic! Can't wait to take my turn! And yes I would love to visit Transylvania😊

Appreciate your points of view and your explanations of those views. Nice job.

I have been a BMW K1200LT owner since 2005. I have been waiting for GTL with the same features as my LT. Power center stand for example. That stand comes in handy.

Awesome video. I've like the way y'all have done it. Very natural. Good luck and keep up the good work 🥂

K1600 is one of my favourite bikes of all time. Its a big comfy tourer, but that engine is very special ! So addictive to do big miles on it. Ive the comfort package, different brown hand made seats, akrapovic cans and some other mods. Love it. Getting the right screen took a bit of time as im 6ft3 , but it was fun.

hey, amazing video! what kind of leather jacked is this in the video? looks pretty cool! greetings from germany

Yes, I Love my GL1832! Best MC I've owned thus far! Thanks, Maw Honda!

Good guys, your don a good job. Thanks for that video. I like it.

Really entertaining video thanks. Nice English skills and funny banter.

RIP Cristian. I love your reviews🤟

Yes. I agree with you guys: the Gold Wing is a clear winner. Larger fuel tank and more stowage space would make it perfect. BMW is a great bike but really, nothing compares to this new Gold Wing…

LOVE my '16 GL1800! Thanks for the video :o)

Two “Wild & Crazy” motorcycle guys. Interesting review but wasn’t really complete without having a test with passengers as well. Truth is you can’t go wrong with either one of these great bikes, if you can afford the very high cost! My gorgeous and affordable 2014 Yamaha FJR 1300 will do fine for now, thank you very much.

I own a 2020 BMW R9T Pure and I’d pick the Goldwing. The quality of the features are just so much nicer. (Not really featured in this review, but other reviews point this out)

Great video guys.

Damn, Sure miss this guy. Always a pleasure to watch.

Just found this review and really enjoyed it guys, thank you. I am picking up my 22 Goldwing Tour DCT in a couple of weeks. I know this review is a few years old and I think Honda have now improved slow speed throttle response (DCT) with better calibration. Thanks again for a great review. 😊👍

Great job guys

Great video guys!! Loved it!! My second time watching...

Well done guys! Thanks!!!

Awesome video 👌

You guys did a great job,

awesome vid bro, keep up the good work!

Great video and job my friends . From ....Kim The Cajun Goldwing Rider . ..❤️👍👍👍

I really enjoyed this video and speaking English is a bonus and appreciated. I own a BMW R9T and it's a bit more maintenance than I'm used to and like to do my oil changes and maintenance so I look for all the best attributes

Nice video, thank you

Excellent comparison!

i love their accents but it's sometime hard to tell when they are being serious or sarcastic with each other. love the content

2 Amazing Bikes and 1 Amazing Country - Now I need to take my K 1600 B out and do the same :) Great Video!

A great video guys. Good camera work and informative on specs. Didn't hear price comparisons. I had a Gold Wing from 2012 to 2016 then bought a BMW 1200 RT LE with lots of extras.

Great review, gentlemen! Quality camera work and amazing scenery as well. I have to admit that I was a bit surprised by the outcome. I thought for sure the BMW would be declared the winner. The Honda must have really impressed! If my Vision ever quits I would certainly consider both of these bikes as it's possible replacement.

This is a really really good motorcycle rider vlog. Not just this one, all of them I’ve seen are just great. Informative, informed, rider’s view with meaningfully different perspectives. Have you tested an R1200GSA but for touring? I’d be interested in what you think. You may havre already, I’m new to you. Thanks again.

put very soft (low volume) relaxing guitar music in the background when you're having 1-on-1 conversations between each other

I own GTL E 2018 and I have bought myself the most expensive coffee do to lots of service visit. Use this bike daily done 10000 miles have new engine fitted, problems with electronics etc. and as always bike pull to left. I found myself that bmw owners are like Harley owners, everything is perfect, bike have no issue yet then you see them in dealer drinking coffee same as me. For me is a problem because is no other touring bike in market with this performance so let’s go for another coffee

What a great content!

🇨🇦 Hello from a Honda F6B owner. A few other advantages of the GW might be Apple Car Play and for the general population it's slightly more affordable both to purchase and to service (with a larger dealer network for longer touring) I would think. I enjoy your review format and wish you all continued success.

...you guys are so funny - Great comparison, ride footage and commentary - you guys really are the Best at this! BTW, what make and model is the nice Gray Jacket worn in this comparison?

You two guys are always a pleasure to watch on RU-vid, simply the BEST. Thank you from us all motorcycle riders.

Great video!

Excellent guys !

I was surprised by the outcome, I was convinced the BMW was the winner, I watched your review of the 2018 BMW K1600GT and it influenced me to purchase a 2019 K1600GT. Both are iconic Motorcycles, my opinion is the K1600GT is more off a versatile Motorcycle take of the Top case you have an incredible sport cruiser, while the Goldwing is built as a cruiser. FYI on the BMW there is a shortcut menu to get your right to the handlebar grips. When I am out on a long road trip I really feel better about the BMW fuel Capacity. Either way the scenery and camera work Is brilliant and I enjoyed watching.

I can’t imagine it has to be one or the other. There is room in the bike world for all examples of a great tourer. I’ve admired the GT since I saw the first one. Back then I had a K75RT and it seemed very sporty. Now I have a 2015 Goldwing and my likes have changed after having two ST1300s. Sport touring bikes have great storage but they are noisy. The GW is much more quiet and easier on my head. Maybe I am getting old. At 73 a tall seat is a real challenge.

I don't remember the Goldwing's double wishbone front suspension being discussed. That is a big plus for comfort. I love it.

Thank you for the nice video.

Best review besy cinematic shots best opinion sharing best viewing pleasure best quality video🏍️

Very enjoyable video and both guys gave their honest opinion good and bad.

Great review.

Hi, I have a 2018 BMW K 1600 GTL. The best bike I’ve had so far. Smoothness, performance, ergonomics and long term comfort. Option 719 with all options and a reverse. Also have a 2008, Road King Classic Super tuner and screaming Eagles Slip ons, for shorter day cruising

The Beemer for me...!

Good review👍

Watch out for Count Dracula! Great video.. Love the Wing

You guys are great together👍

Both are really good bikes, you cannot go wrong either ways, it really depends what you want from the bike, the GoldWing has a great clutchless riding experience. I have ridden both bike's & if I had the money i'd buy both

I have a 2003 Gl1800 and still LOVE it. Even though the BMW is nice, it looks more pieced together, where as the Gold wing looks more like one piece and it all flows together.

Another great video!! Apart from the bikes i also dig that light gray jacket!! Would you mind telling me what brand it is? It would be great if you guys left info about gear you use bcs its always great looking and i suppose you wear something functional and quality made given your experience. Cheers!

The Goldwing is a GOOD bike at any age.

a best comparative review

What's the city name, again? I liked this review format a lot, guys! The calm you both transmitted with the coffee... I enjoyed it 😊

"wow. you can really dance"

Beautiful Beasts. I used to ride in my teens. Have fun guys.

Great compare... TY

Hii Guys Excellent video on this 2 toys keep it up Good Luck

And the winner is...The BMW R1250RT. All the comfort and enough torque and power to enjoy a "sporty" ride. 80 kilos lighter feels like a true motorcycle not a luxo barge on steroids. Waiting for mine...

My max of riding is about 150 miles before a break so I'm cool with the GW's milage. Not to concerned with luggage space either. After making so many road trips on a 2003 Honda Shadow Spirit 750, I have learned how to make due with less. One concern is that I have a 31 inch inseam. The BMW looks challenging as far as height. Please consider telling the the seat height with reviews. I could always look up specs though. Awesome review guys. So far the best. I'll subscribe.

Wouldn’t the GTL be the better comparison to the GW ? I’m thinking of the riding position.
