2020 Honda GoldWing DCT | First Ride 

Damn, I wish my first bike had been of this quality! I love that 2020 color scheme, it looks amazing!

Be careful, be cautious, until your experience grows. A helpful suggestion: do not roll through stop signs. Not just because it's dangerous, but because every stop sign is a chance to practice a safe, controlled stop, left foot down as you come to a complete stop. Nice neighborhood! ;)

You’ll be fine, don’t listen to the haters just practice and in time you’ll gain your confidence. So far you’re off to a good start. Listening to people making you doubt yourself is worst than not having much experience.

It’s awesome that you are back riding, please consider taking a riders safety course. Every rider can benefit from this course.

I love the subtle silent scream it gives on first start up and then settles down. Just beautiful

Congratulations on your bike, it's beautiful. You are on the right path, the DCT exchange will make your life easier, soon you will be traveling with your friends. Be safe, greetings from São Paulo, Brazil.

I’ve gotta hand it to you. This is your FIRST bike? Respect!

My Tour gets delivered on Sat 29th. I am so so looking forward to it. Love the colour (UK) combination of your bike

Beautiful bike my friend. Please be careful & practice, practice, practice. I have a 2018 Goldwing & love it but you have to give it your full attention. One of the things you need is to relax a bit, I know you will when you get the feel... Enjoy !

Will surely wait for your next video. I really like the Goldwing and want to know more. Ridesafe brother.

Good choice I'm 30 years old and my first bike is a Honda Africa twin sport dct and I sure love it 😆👍🏻

Gorgeous bike. I recently purchased a 2021 DCT Tour. ( My 3rd GW ) My last bike was 10 years ago so I consider myself a newbie and will be taking the MSF basic course at first possible enrollment. There are great instructional channels on RU-vid with MCRider being one of the best. And I too, will spend many many hours practicing in a parking lot !

First bike, goldwing, and vloging cant get any more spoiled than that

It’s very refreshing to see motorcycles exercise caution. Stay safe and enjoy yourself. Thanks from the U.K.

Nice first bike pal 👍 being from Britain I can't imagine what it's like to not have speed bumps every 50 yards, long smooth roads like that are ideal to learn on

Had to come back around. Hoping you are doing great and still enjoying this awesome bike. I’m sure with this purchase you have inspired many people to step up. Best to you and your family.

Glad you're being safe with the new bike, ride at your own pace and you'll be fine. I hopefully be trading in my Iron 883 for a 2020 Goldwing DCT in the next few weeks.

Ride as often as possible, and try to work in Econ and tour mode at slow speed while covering the rear brake with light pressure. This will help you develop the slow speed handling that’s necessary when having to place the bike with confidence where you want to place it. Keep your head up and look where you want to go. Above all take a course and enjoy your bike.

Amazing video, thank you for sharing and congratulations that you dared to go directly for your dream bike! Wishing you all the best and please keep sharing your progress.

A fantastic bike and colour combination.....I am seriously considering that exact bike myself. Stay safe and enjoy...I'm very jealous!

Great video! I just picked the same model of Goldwing a week before you posted this video. I moved up from a 1998 Honda Valkyrie that I bought new. I got the DCT because ongoing issues with my left hand. If I get the same reliability from this one as the Valkyrie, I should be able to ride into my 80's! Enjoy!

Absolutely gorgeous!

Hell I am showing my age & how senile we all come, lol. I put my comments in the wrong place down below. My first bike was 56 years ago on a Rupp minibike. A Kawasaki 100 trail bike. A Yamaha 125 Endureo. A Yamaha 175 motocross bike. Then a BSA 250 street bike, A BSA 441 Victor. A 250 Bultaco Motocross bike. A Husky 250 motocross bike. Then a Yamaha Big Bear, Then a Honda CB 550, A Suzuki 400 Endureo. A Harley Sportster which me & my older brother made into a flat tracker so I could race it locally. A Honda 750 street bike, A Kawasaki 900 street bike. A Honda Valkyrie. A Honda VTX 1800. Now that I am an old man in my 60's it's back to the Honda Valkyrie Interstate, an old mans bike that is smooth, heavy & powerful. Ride it like you stole it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If you bust your ass get up & do it again faster. That way you won't be scared of it. Enjoy your new ride.

This is a great video, simply because it is honest. This video is one of the best first time riding a heavy motorcycle. My first time, i did ride the same way for around 3 days then I toke off.

Beautiful bike! Unless you’ve ridden a dct you wouldn’t understand the benefits of it. One of my bikes is dct it makes heavy stop and go traffic not such a pain in the rear. Sometimes you just want to enjoy the ride. I’ll admit I do still like thrashing the gears on my other bike but not all the time. I think you’ll be happy with this bike maybe you should find a riding partner to help you get your confidence up. Please be safe and enjoy yourself.

I cant wait until I get a chance to ride that motorcycle again. It's lovely!! 😎 😎

Good luck I started on a dct 700. I loved it. Congratulations

congrats on the new bike! i just recently got a 2016 Honda CTX 700N, its not a very big or heavy bike but for me (i have a small physical build) it might as well be a fully kitted Goldwing, taking the time to learn and ive already had a few mishaps but that kind of thing happens! stay safe!

that goldwing looks so good that I changed my mind and I want it😂

Very nice video, that Bike looks so nice, have fun with it :)

A new subscriber from phillipines. Great video mate. I really like your bike, my dream bike. It looks killer! Have a safe trip everytime!

Congrats !

Congrats good job keep going champ

first time driving one and a raven cawing above you 😂 great vibes man

Wooow its like a dream💕💕💕

omg u sick man !! NICE ride you got there !!! Drive save !

Man, its so beautiful

I'm your biggest fan🥰🥰 And being a kid...I'm always inspired by you to work hard n get one of these rides for myself😉

Great looking bike and Klim gear is top of the food chain.

Nice bike! love that color scheme! Although I always recommend people start with something smaller. It’s by no means impossible to start on a larger bike. With anything it just takes practice and patience. cheers, and happy riding :)

Brave that your first ride after 15 years was on an 850-pound DCT. Take care, man.

In my country goldwing its longroad dream bike, yes i like too this bike. Its one other dream bike, (this is my first time see new type gold wing dct) I see many conten from our country, say gold wing its easy , comfort and if running its not feel so heavy. The problem its when theres road turn edge, becareful the balance, its good too reduce ure speed far away before turn edge. Cause its the bike weight its so heavy. Enjoy ure ride mate.

Pretty mad for first bike,enjoy it man

i love goldwing . my dream is to buy one

One thing that has always stuck with me is a video called Twist of the wrist. It is a must watch and enjoy the msf course.

Beautiful bike ... Rider safety course !

An empty parking lot is a great place to get to know your bike,being a new rider(you) just take your time,and don’t listen to what others say,you are the rider not them

I am a bit confused but in europe STOP means STOP what does it mean in the U.S.A.?

First I want to say congrats on an amazing bike!!!!! The best bike period. Second I want to say congrats on not being afraid to start on a big boy bike. A lot of people will tell u that u shouldve started smaller and a bunch of other stuff. But u didnt. U know yourself and u know the practice its gonna take to learn. This model is actually my favorite. I love the matte black and red. Please keep posting videos. I want to follow your progress.

That wing ain't no joke!

I had a 1975 Honda 750 supersport when I was 15 years old.... I know what you mean about practice😁😎✌🏄‍♂️

The area looks cool man

Safe ride and God speed

Nice Video, hope you' enjoyed riding in the summer and fall. I'm aspiring to get a used GL, I can't afford a new one. It will be an upgrade from Triumph Bonneville T100 to GL. How are feeling after riding this beauty since the day one as a new rider. Luv from Toronto

Hello sir I would like to ask you before you drive this motorcycle did you had experience with another category, for example 300cc or little one..

hello. I'm student in faculty of languages English department i need someone speaking with me to develop my language ❤❤

Looks cool 👌👍😀

Look at that city 😯

That is definitely the color and bike I want. Thinking about upgrading my bike soon trading in my Victory. Selling my Vic. Lol

Looks comfort to ride

but what a gorgeous, awesome bike...

this thing is soooooo cool

First ride already sitting in your driveway already? Was it delivered?

Good video brother. Good thing you had chosen a Motorcycle after a big break. Unfortunately in India there is only one variant & colour available. I once ridden this bike which suprised me of it's character. I thought inline 4 is the best engine to give the best sound. This inline 6 is way too good.

I can imagine what you went through as I am getting my DCT 2024 next week and it will be my first (and last) heavy motorbike too. It's beenmy dream all my life and now I can afford it and hopefully have a few goods years ahed to enjoy it. It's been a few years for you now and how long did it take you to be realy confident?

My first bike was a Honda also. Good bikes. One thing though, if you don’t practice stopping at the stop signs you won’t learn and one day you will be in a bad situation without knowing how to completely stop and down shift and take off again. Use the low traffic situations to practice and also avoid a ticket.

I don’t quite get the rain mode on a cloudy day. No need even if it’s your first ride.

Can you list your Gloves, Jacket and pants set up. I also only wear Klim. Not sure wich ones these are.

I had a Honda as my first bike, too. A CD175.

Please stop at EVERY stop sign. Put your feet down and set to take off again. Rollin thru stops even tho you can see that your path is clear will lead to a bad habit that in the least will get you a ticket and in the worst will put you in danger. Either you start good habits now or save your self and someone else from having a really really bad day and dont ride at all. Be safe.. enjoy.. !!

How are you downshifting is it automatic....🤔

Just remember the three main rules of riding a motorcycle. 1) Countersteer, 2) Countersteer, 3) Countersteer

PRACTICE PRACTICE, PRACTICE. Take the motorcycle driver course and practice some more. That's a whole lot of motorcycle for a new rider. I'm surprised that the dealer didn't recommend something else. It's a beautiful bike, I hope you keep it that way. Safety is the key.

It would serve as a first motorcycle for a beginner since manual ones are difficult for me

My favourite bike

Sweet ride 👍

Just wondering is this a belt drive or chain type?

bravo prika bravo !!!!!!!

When you went in you went all in. No finer motorcycle on the market than the new dct goldwing. I would suggest riding in eco mode for the first 1500 miles

I can't wait to take possession of my 2020 tour... I ordered 2 months ago...

Que conviene más una de estas o una motoneta Italika

Future bike dan cool too,like batman bike 🖒

I understand that this bike is for any age but if I'm getting this bike it's gonna be long term to be honest Post more videos I would like to see you progress with this

go fast man

Hey brother... good luck work the new ride. I'm new to the motorcycle world myself and I'm considering a Goldwing. If it's not too personal of a question, what does that bike cost to insure?

What is name of this sity

Cool design

Is it a space ship?

If you dont mind me asking what was the out the door price? Did they come down any from msrp? I am VERY interested in this exact bike and color looks beautiful. Enjoy(:

I laid off of riding too but for 25 yrs,,, Lic. was expired to had to re-test with written and a riding test..... You?

Hey boy... dangerous guy!

This is your first motorcycle ?? Practice coutersteering, it could be a life saver !!

When I first started riding I wanted to get the BMW K1200, similar to the Gold Wing. Everyone said start with a lighter bike. I'm glad I did. It takes time for your brain to figure out motorcycle dynamics and it will be more difficult on a heavy bike. I know you don't want to hear this but you will learn faster on a lighter bike. So get a smaller used bike, take a MSF course and learn how to ride. At a certain point everything will click and you'll be able to ride with confidence. Take care.

You've chosen the space shuttle of bikes hehe Good luck and much safety, enjoy every mile on that amazing machine.

What kind of transmission is it ?

Hey man. Wanted to check and zee how much better u have gotten on the bike?? Still recommend the Goldwing for a new rider?

good for u keep going , I'm so excited to ur next practicing vidoe

Stop signs. Rolling stop signs. Im sure this has been corrected by now? Great vid. Im cknsidering a 2018 right now.

Lucky you 👌

That bike deserves someone who isn’t afraid to twist the throttle... the DCT is nimble by nature. I love cornering on this bike
