First time ever on a  

The Pursuit or the Goldwing?

Yes.@@garlandlabat4922

I was wondering what this same gentleman would say about being on the Indian Pursuit 💃. Trying to decide which one to pull the trigger on : mostly for my passenger that finds being a Harley passenger uncomfortable,… >50 miles and game over. Thanks for your 2 cents

@@boths6ify I really think you can’t go wrong with the Pursuit. It has everything you would want in a sport touring bike. I add sport because this bike handles like a sport bike but also eats up the miles with ease. It is a complete joy to ride. You do have to get used to people wanting to talk to you about your bike. Constantly people are saying “wow what a beautiful bike, how do you like it?” It has so many great features, like the adjustable windshield, the great infotainment center and especially for your passenger, the fox air adjustable suspension. The when you ride alone, the touch on the screen and it’s the perfect suspension ride for you. As you can probably tell, I absolutely love this bike and I don’t know anyone who has it doesn’t feel the same. If you just test ride one, I think you’ll be sold. Good luck in your decision.

I’m a Goldwing man, but your pursuit is a fine motorcycle. 🇺🇸⭐️

Facts

YES

@@driverjamescopeland hahahaa. That's why we keep our golding friends around!!

I agree! I really like the attention my 2011 Harley Ultra LTD gets, but I would like to ride a Goldwing DCT someday. Maybe I shouldn’t? Getting older is about comfort!

Amen brother

Hahaha love it!! #enlightened

ferocious? hardly. try a K1600 if you want ferocious

@@keemez Well relatively ferocious…

👍

@@keemezk1600 ferocious?? Try a moto gp bike…. There is always one like …..

My man!!! You are getting in the wind!! That is amazing!!! 💪 💪 💪 be proud and ride safe!! I could imagine the DCT in mountains is life changing!! Haha

Agree

Just bought a 24 tour manual trans also. I just love it. Still have my 12 limited. Harley just priced themselves out. Besides, this is a far superior machine. It is so smooth and easy to ride.

I did too!

Thank you!!

Agreed!!

Absolutely true! It destroys HD, Indian and even BMW K1600. It’s amazing to me how people will spend 30k + on a HD just to be accepted by that culture. The Goldwing is THE KING.

HD hasn't changed since 1920

The goldwing dct does have that option

I also have the Rebel 1100T DCT and I love it. There will definitely be a Goldwing in my life at some point.

My wife said the same thing! Seat too small for her ass.

6'4 and own a 22. The lady and I absolutely love it. Still smiling over my decision. Have not added anything but a phone holder.

​@@notorioussob9445 no highway pegs?or floor boards? I call bs

Or maybe most Americans are just too freaking fat! I'm 6'1 175 and my beautiful bride of 48 years is 5'4 115 '24 Wing DCT Like riding in/on a rocket ship limo. Eat your heart out.

Holy moly!! That's amazing riding!! I hope you are all good!!

wonder if honda will make a big new design of GW or may not. as emission stricter. hope GW evolution or just go get a dark green one of 2024 f6b ❤

@@j.bin_genex1927 Some say, 2000cc might be coming. Hard for me to believe. Hybrid, yes, maybe.

@@alp3781 hard to pass emissions maybe. i thought current model is almost perfect . may be change a little plastic cover design 😁

adaptive cruise control is all I would like to have 😅

I have one and feel the same! Incredible-I never thought a motorcycle could be so fast and so smooth!

🤣🤣🤣

Why? Genuinely asking. Smoother?

@ksmalls3785 the 2012-2017 GL have better wind protection, are more comfortable, have more storage capacity and if you know how to ride will do anything a 2018+ gen. If you want to amp up the handling, upgrade the suspension to Traxxion and your better than a 2018+ gen

@@robb8773 I owned a 2001, 2003, and a 2012,....than bought a 2019 DCT. The 2019 does not have the storage space as the gen 5, but that's the only plus over the gen 6. The 2018+ are far superior over the gen 5's

I'm a motorcyclist and i can find anything good about 2 wheels.. that being said this bike is great!!

Yes, I really do agree with you!

Thank you.. the amount of info it would take to understand this bike without owning it would be a class at the university

@@RidingfishAgreed it’s another world. That reverse gear saved me out in the middle of nowhere when the road I was on turned to rutted gravel with a high crown and no shoulders. I was able to make the 3 point turn that would have been difficult otherwise and they’d probably still be looking for me 😅

Heck yea!!! The new ones are nice!! 💪 💪

The 2018+ Honda Gold Wing is a precision tool... to which I bring all the required "personality and soul"! It is a truly refined extension of myself. ...but I take your meaning, and it is because of our differences that this would is a truly great and interesting place. Shinny side up.

That's it's problem too for me. I use my GW as I would a car, for big miles and winter rides but if I want to have fun on a summer's day I always take out my HD Sport Glide which has personality and character to spare. Basically one for miles, one for smiles. 😊

I liked your comment except for it has no soul. Rolling that throttle in a curve as the bike sits down on its suspension and it will keep right on leaning and eating that curve until the chicken strip. My pipes are drilled out so I also feel the bass thump of that 1800 in my ears and the seat as I feel it keep pulling. It's a monster that doesn't LOOK like a monster.

Ride everyday you can!!

I appreciate all these kind words!!

...I used to say the same thing, I have now owned the same machine highlighted here (21 DCT tour blk) for the last year / ~8k miles, and I have loved every mile of it. Shinny side up.

💪 💪 💪

Hahaahha

What are you coming off of??

@@Ridingfish Mostly big KTM adventures. But I’ve been doing pretty much only offroad trips on those for the past 10 years. The Wing will be my ticket to getting back on the pavement ;)

@ligu0rien oh yea!!! Then 100% you will love it.. the seat position is what you are use too and then the overall ride will be perfect!! Congratulations on your new bike and the pavement!!! 💪 💪 💪

Oh heck yea!!! Congratulations!!!!

@@Ridingfish Thanks… i’ve rode a wide variety of Bikes, and none of them compare to the GW imo… I haven’t experienced the DCT clutch yet but i’m sure i will eventually… I like the way shifting gears feels but the DCT seems Like the way everybody’s going…

Don't rife 1 then 😂....UR RIGHT!! 😤

💪 💪 It's awesome you have owned all those brands.. To be able to have that fair opinion

💪 💪 💪

Fun and the need to slow down are great signs!! Congratulations!!

Yes!!!!! That is 100% a word I could had said!!

It just takes a little bit to get used to. Once you have it down no problem, just as smooth at slow speeds as if you have a clutch.

Cool deal.. Let me know what you think!!

They are governed at 120.

I'll take it

If they did the Harley purists would complain and say "It's not a Harley". Harley had to build the PanAm to show the world that they could do tech too, not just Flintstone bikes.

I could see wanting to stretch out on it for sure!! But the 20 mins I spent and how I was playing it was good!!... I did not put much thought into the luggage space to be honest.. I appreciate your feed back as you're opinion should be read by others also!! 💪 💪 💪

I had the same problem on my 2018 DCT Tour, so I swapped the seat for a Corbin, which sits me back 2” to fit my 6’5” self, more a sport touring stance. Also swapped windscreen for a Klok Werks Flare. Together, these make the bike fit me perfectly. Travel all day and feels great.

Spot in!!

Hahaa 💪 💪 congrats in advance

Here I am wanting to ride a GSA 1250!!

💪 💪 💪 I hear you!

True!!

Trust me, owning the GW, you will not regret it. However, you must test a manual one and then a DCT again. DCT is not for everyone. It is for me.

@@alp3781 I really enjoyed the DCT. There was a bit of weirdness at first but it was quickly followed by smiling ear to ear and laughing at the fun

@@ARCSSelfDefense Same here. It took me 2 weeks to adopt. Now, priceless.

Bonjour! After owning many sportbikes since i first got my license in 1985, i traded my 1999 'Busa and bought my first cruiser in 2007. It was a brand new Suzuki M109R. At the time i wanted a more relaxed riding position but i still wanted a bike with a strong, powerful engine. I was ready to switch to a fully dressed touring bike in 2021. I bought a Victory Vision and i am very pleased with it. However, i miss the power and speed of my previous bikes. A few weeks after i bought my Victory, my long time friend bought a brand new 2021 Gold Wing bagger with a manual transmission. This bike is a masterpiece of engineering. It's fast, comfortable, the sound of that flat 6 engine is amazing and it will definitely be my next purchase. Not as much wind protection as the Vision but i suppose aftermarket add-ons can fix that. Take one for a test ride, you will be hooked! Greetings from Montréal, Québec. 🖖

@@danielfrancis4258 I changed my wind screen to F4. Perfect !!!!

@@lifeistoshortgottobeoptimi8707 I never ran it.. but I would!! 😉

What would someone do with more power in this type of bike...I mean really?

@@WJJ3rd Why does it need to be 1833cc of useless underpowered turd by displacement? Why isn't it 1200cc which would be much more appropriate to the hp/tq it has. Not to mention lighter. Just because you won't use the power does not mean others wouldn't.

@@wingingit9493 Okay, you got me. It took me a couple minutes to figure out you're just trolling. Why else would a person refer to his own bike, which cost him many thousands of dollars, "...useless underpowered turd..."? Adios.

@@WJJ3rd It's just a objective truth. I know that's hard for some fan boys to accept. At least be honest regardless of money spent on the bike for goodness sakes.
