Harley-Davidson owner rides the New Honda Gold Wing 

I was a harley guy until the new gold wing. Picked up a 2019 goldwing tour and cannot be happier.

Test rode the new wing on a whim one day. I traded my FLTRXS the very next day for it... 18 months of ownership and I can tell you, if you haven’t rode one, go demo one... I’m just warning ya.. you’ll probably buy one

I ride a street glide special now. But back in the day I rode a gold wing. There’s nothing as comfortable to ride than the gold wing.

I work at a Harley dealership, but my personal bike is a 1999 Honda Valkyrie Interstate (stripped down Goldwing with more power) and I love the bikes Harley has, and I ride a lot of them, they’re all fun. None of them have made me want to trade away my Valkyrie.

I definitely can see why the GW has a loyal following. They are nice bike with a lot of power and features. Thanks for doing these videos.

The thing that I like about your videos is your open mindnes towards other designs and ideas. I tire of the brand guys that become rabid when discussing bikes that are not what they are ridding. I’ve watched a few of your videos on the improvements on your Harley-pretty impressive. I’ve never owned a HD, but have wrenched on a few and have ridden a few and I like them all! For the record I ride a 07 goldwing on long hauls with the wife and for hour rides etc I get on a 09 Yamaha Raider. I could care less about brand, as long as your riding! Be safe!

Just recently became aware of your channel and appreciate your motorcycle reviews.

Traveling Tall Great Vid! Appreciate your honest opinion. A lot of People even if they really like the other Brand will still talk bad about it. Enjoying your Channel. One Love.

Nice nice video Like the fact that you are a bike enthusiast! It’s refreshing. I get the best of both worlds I ride a Harley for work which I love and I have a 2013 Honda gold wing! Also a 2004 Honda rune! I get to ride a 2019 Harley Davison road king at work! And man I love the ride it gives! So I appreciate the total love for bikes you give! And your street glide is pure 🔥 🔥! Love the channel keep up the great great vids! Be blessed bro!

Great review. I ride an 09 Ultra and I too test rode a DCT Goldwing. I loved it. I think it’s ironic the Harley dealership is right next door to the Honda dealership. Noticed that in your video. Good job on the review!

Great video Brother I am really Liking the new GW I'm 5'9 so the knee thing won't be a issue for me going to try out the DCT also thinking about the Africa Twin going to give that a shot too I have some pretty country side in MO that I think the Adventure Bike might be fun on. God Bless Brother

Good video brother! Made me think a little about the Goldwing. - HD for life

Enjoyable video, and informative. I have >114k miles on an '06 GL1800. I'm 5"10" and the seat/pegs are still stock. Wife loves it too. I'd love to test a new DCT (at that same dealership) but I had the wife set on one and she didn't like it. So, I'll never tesst one because I know it would be awsome, but I couldn't have one. Taking her is >50% of my enjoyment.

Great video. I was thinking about the GW but the bags was too small. I heard many good things about the GW. Especially how comfortable it is.

Nice work on the video. Really liking the new Goldwings..

Enjoyed your review, over the winter went from a 2015 Victory Vision to a 2018 Ultra Classic. I seem to be buying discontinued models LOL!

I just purchased my 2021 Goldwing from that same dealership. I bought the grey "Standard" model then added the tour pack. SWEET RIDE! Two Harley's before this. Three Honda's before that.

My dream bike!!!!! Got the 750x DCT as a placeholder while I learn to ride but hopefully 3 years tops before I’m on that!!!

Right of the bat they got that road glide tech

I love your channel, I’m 6’4 love the gold wing but not meant for y’all riders, that’s why I love my road king

Great review.

Picked one up in June. I have the B-model with the 6-speed manual. Love it!

Thanks for doing the video, it's definitely a nice bike, but I'm gonna keep my Harley.

I love how the goldwing has hands down more power and speed than any harley davidson

Yep… I own an Harley Electra Glide and a GoldWing GL1800. Can’t be happier

TT loved your video. I currently a 2012 FLHTK which is the last new motor that I bought, I started on a HONDA in 1969. I may come full circle and get a GW before I get too old. I don't want a DCT, I want to shift gears while I'm able to...

I live about an hr north of this place..im heading down there next weekend too..i check them out.. not sure about the automatic tho lol... great video

Tall, I’m 6’3 and just switched from Harley to the Goldwing. I loved my Harley but the GW has been calling me since 2010. Next time you’re near DC, let’s ride. BTW, I understand needing more leg room but the use of highway pegs really helps. God bless!

I'm curious why Harley has not developed an auto, all the years they have been in business....I'm taking a wing out in a month from now and can't wait. A good vid with a honest view.

You addressed exactly what I was wondering. How a tall man would fit at the knee's. Hope there is a solution to that. I enjoy your reviews and appreciate your congenial way.

Nice video by the way!

The Goldwing technology is second to none, but I just don't like the seating position (feels cramped) compared to my lazy-boy Harley SG.

Sweet bike,, I love those new Goldwings 😝

I’m curious about how the bike feels down shifting. Is there a lot of engine breaking? Do the shift points feel comfortable slowing down and accelerating through the corner

Grew up owning Hondas... didn't ride a Harley until my late 50s. Of all the Harleys I have ridden the Road King is what I ride now. I have a problem with nureopathy in my feet and hands and get cramps in my hands from holding the clutch in during stop and go traffic.. live in Los Angeles. So all of the traffic kills my clutch hand. So the DCT model will be my next and probably last bike. You forgot to test out the reverse which is something I really have missed from the last Goldwing I owned. Since I will be approaching my 60s in another year.. I need all the help I can get. Will miss the rumble of the Harley but Hondas will get Android Auto in June so I can stream Spotify instead.

I found this somewhat ironic. I was tired of motorcycles that were more like cars comfort and no longer about motorcycling. I rode just about every type of HD made except the duel cam. I started with a 1942 45 flat head then a 74 '47 knuckle, a 63 FL pan head , then numerous shovelheads, started with a new 1976 the last one being a 84 shovelhead. Then '89 ultra evolution followed by a '84 Ultra. I quit riding for several years later on. When I turned '66 they came out with the new M8's and I fell in love with this new engine. I decided to buy a m8 2018 Deluxe softail and add the things I felt necessary for long trip touring other than all the non essential things. No stereo, just the sound of my engine. I even left that stock so I wouldn't go deaf from the outrageously loud exhausts everyone seems to like. I wear a half helmet so those noisy exhausts would make me deaf in no time. I think the Honda is just a glorious two wheeled car as is most Ultra's. My deluxe rides great, handles great and has plenty of power. I'm quite happy riding just over the speed limit, about 8 km over the limit. I realize everyone wants the one up tow and that's the kind of riding experience they seek. I like the Keep it simple and good mileage along with the sufficient power I get from my bike, not a two wheeled luxury car!

Harley = Cargo Container / Goldwing = Luxury Cruise Liner.

Its looks good

As I watched ur video on SG reviews lately.. Since 2020 WFH ac Covid-19 no bikes ride although... I should get my 2020 SG 114...thinking of GW when I get older bro... When i don't need that clutch.. Aporpo!!

I think, you being a taller rider, would have liked the 2017 style of GW better. I am restoring a 1982 GL1100 GW. My dream bike is a SGS. but for now fate has given me the GL1100. When I get it finished, it will be the biggest motorcycle I've ever riden. RSMF.

And Honda doesn't need new piston rings after 15,000 miles.

Just can not get over how cheap they look with all those buttons everywhere. I am Harley guy and I like how clean the Harleys look.

Nice bike. The great thing is you can get one used for like $1000 bucks.

The Goldwing seems like the Cadillac of comfort on a long touring bike ride

i think it would be hard to compare the two considering the gold wing is a six cylinder vs harleys two cylinder .the two are different compression and geared different.that would be like comparing a sports car with a luxury car or pickup truck with a utility vehicle.besides who cares ,i have a 107 harley lowrider it is a lot of fun for me .i bet i get more comments from the girls than those folks on the gold wings. wonder why they like my bike so much?

Hey, I'm riding a 15 street glide standard now and am seriously considering an 18 or newer wing.

great video not that I'm considering one but I did notice that the handle bar grips seemed mighty thin did you have any problems with that

Great having a regular guy rider doing the review,more relatable I think , good video keep em coming!

The difference between a Lexus 350F or Infinity Q70 (Gold Wing) and a Mustang GT or Camaro SS (Harley). If you like refined muscle or you like in your face muscle. Being under the radar or On the radar.

Clinton Hwy ?? Thats 25 headed towards Powell right , used to be in the area every week for several years

I've had a lot of bikes over the years...Honda, Kawasaki, Harley, etc. lots of fun, many miles...but the bikes kept getting bigger and heavier. I finally gave them up...sold my Softail last fall. A smaller guy like me has to have a shorter seat height, and lighter weight...and a lot of these bikes are now just too much.

Harley on a Gold Wing? Ain't Nothing Wrong with Flying a Golden Harley Wind! America La North.

Not sure how tall you are, but was planning on getting between a 2013-2016 goldwing f6b, im 6-4, 34in inseam, starting to think my kegs my be to long, what do you say?

As current owner of a 2018 manual transmission Goldwing.... i highly recommend it to anyone in the market for a touring bike. Be aware that the bike has limited storage and a smaller tank. If you can live with those two drawbacks, it's an excellent bike!

For me it’s a fantastic bike but it just doesn’t have any character.... I’ll keep my Road King with the sweet M8 rumble😁

Japan product number 1.

Tryout the Yamaha Eluder!

How tall are you and what is your inseam ? This one issue of leg room concerns me as I am researching my next bike.

Is it comfortable for tall riders over 6ft? The seating position looks really low

Personally I never cared for the foot positioning on the Goldwing, it’s made for shorter riders. Do you think you would have been able to shift in the position your feet were in? If I rode a Goldwing it would be a beater for commuting, but only as a 2nd or third bike.

Rode a goldwing once. And yea, easy to ride , cumfy . Hate admitting to it. That's all I'm going to say.

Any chance you can make a video with a bmw bagger with a little more detail for us taller guys would appreciate it thanks

So many buttons on that thing. Did that bother you at all as far as the complications of it all?

Try the new 2021 I would like to hear your views. They say it’s been up graded from the 2018.

I like the bike..Really like the bike then I looked at the MSRP and didn't like it anymore ! Lol

Traveling Tall, What's your inseam and How Tall are You ? Reason I ask ? I am injured Logger and prefer the automatic over the 5 or 6 gear shift Manuel motorcycle. I am 6 ft 8 inch Tall.

I’m 6’4’ with long legs. Don’t even wanna find out if I’d like that bike if it can’t be modified for my legs.

Nice bike but I prefer my 2018 road glide ultra twisted cherry.

Sir, Didn't you find the knee bend to be TOO much? I'm over 6'1" and I really DON'T like how much my knees are bent on the G/W. You're several inches TALLER, and I thought you'd find the knee bend to be truly uncomfortable. Thank you for the video!

Can you please tell me what is the music name? I would really appreciate. Thanks

Can you fit 2 full face helmets in the rear storage ?

My friend has a Goldwing, he is 5’11” I am 6’3” and to tall for the bike. I love the Goldwing but I am not that comfortable on it.

Where can I find one of those Harley tshirts you are wearing?

How tall are you. I'm 6'2'' and my knees don't come close to hitting those panels.

The gold wing is a great bike, no doubt. But it feels and sounds like a Honda car, and less as a motorcycle.

The japanese still don't get what we want in styling., I do like how they exposed enough of the steering linkage to see it's engineering ., they got rid of the over abundance of buttons ,to some extent..now they need to expose the engine a little more, & find out what chrome after market parts look good to the americanadian public.Then offer these same parts through their own channels.They seem to go from extreme transformer toy like design ,all the way too full custom with nothing in between.Then there is the harley decker lookalike ,which is ok ,but looks like just a, "me too" copy....I think the current model is a step in the right direction, & a lot of progress has been made to get away from having it look like it was assembled from more, & more & more, bits & pieces precisely fit together. But out of too many pieces.Heck we'll buy it anyway cause of the overwhelming excellence of the engineering, & the overall quality., but please don't mistake this for liking the styling...

Great video. That GW is an awesome bike. I saw where you said you were too tall. What if you wernt, could you see yourself choosing one over a RG?

How tall are you and whats your inseam?

Like driving a car on two wheels. To many buttons and knobs for my liking. Harley's 2014 Rushmore is doing fine for me. Feels like a bike, sounds like a bike, rides like a bike. Has attitude. Besides, Harley made of about 50 pieces, compared to the wing made of a 1,000 pieces. Ask a mechanic.

I have that same problem with Goldwings their not really for really tall people 😢

How did you like the wing . I notice you had knee hitting but when I mentioned that there's no other like it I am not sure how tall YOU are but I'm 6.1 and I have the 1st generation goldwing and I have room and ergo pegs because I am tall and I also have a lot of protection from wind . I don't know if you are planning on riding in the cold but I do and that's why I brought a goldwing not to mention the superb comfort . And bells and whistles. I'm so happy you like the ride. No shacking everything is quite I love it.

I have a 2015 f6b and I'm good BUT I'm 6,5 and the new wing is to small and has no provision for highway pegs 30 years of goldwings I DON'T LIKE THE NEW WINGS

Goldwings are hard to beat and ride nice. But i do have an issue as you mentioned the knee's hitting and i feel uncomfortable riding it.

Actually that is "goldwing tour", goldwing is a bike without trunk, replace of f6b

Vaya con dios

It’s like a Lexus F model versus a Chevy Camaro. The Lexus F so high tech, tight, stealth, smooth and slick it sells itself once you drive it. The Chevy Camaro has got the cool factor and raw in your face LS motor. You must decide what speaks to your inner voice. The Thoroughbred or the Quarter Horse.

It looks like a 2 wheeled civic

Nice bike but not auto trans

It's become an interesting concept hasn't it. I think that they are going after the terribly unreliable BMW crowd with this "performance touring bike." It strikes me as the sort of luxury performance tourer that the Victory Vision would have eventually evolved into and I suppose that's a good thing. I really enjoy the vids of you riding with your family; Good times.

No gloves...no jacket....not a good advert for safe riding !!!!

Where your gloves fam. If u was riding that Harley you'd of had them.. You downplaying Honda.. ?? 🤣😂 I ride a honda vtx1300.. built up like a street glide..

Pride of ownership is a thing. Not knocking the Honda Gold Wings at all; but a big, plastic motorcycle doesn't do it for me.

unemployment (made in japan) goldwing is no longer made in U.S.A.

Why would anyone ride a rickety Harley after riding that spaceship?

Nice bike but Definitely Not My Cup of Tea! 👎

No signals, changes lanes, no gloves, no safety gear, speeds.... Yeah... not impressed. Bad example for other young riders.

Technology is getting rediculous ... Automatic this & power that ... Motorcycles aren't meant to be Space ships ... '05 is where Goldwings got outta hand ...

Is that an automatic transmission? Gross

I hate how quiet it is. Old man's bike.

new wing looks like crap
