How to fall in love with a motorcycle that only old men buy 

So what I'm reading is, the one has it's name forced upon it by the manufacturer, the other earned it.

Hows she treating you

@@nickr2795 must not have got it huh

I’ve wanted a Goldwing since I was 16 years old (1985). Finally got it in 2020 (2018 that never sold) & immediately rode it from Vegas to Texas to see family. Cadillac of touring bikes. Love it. My daily rider is a BMW R1200RT. Also a fantastic bike.

Good 4 u

BEN : RIDE ON , STAY SAFE , THE " WING's " ARE THE " CADILLAC's OF CYCLES " .

Tell your wife to mind her own business

Nobody tells me I can't ride🤣😂

If she again complain you, you know to whom you should change this time.

Thanks , good to know. I've been on sport bikes mostly all my life. But plan on getting a Wing within the next 2 yrs.

@@georgecarlin2879 you will not regret it brotha.

Are you 66, 6'1" & still riding?

@@garrettsmith8286 No, still 6'2" and still riding.

@@BruceWNelsonMangyFetlocks Haha that's great to hear! 👍🏼 I've owned and rode many types of motorcycles but never a Goldwing I'm 6'4" and was afraid it looked to cramped. Trying to find something used for $6k. My last comfortable bike was an 06 VFR Interceptor 800 but I said I'd never ride a Honda again after they screwed me on a recall.

Yup. We do that as well over here, in addition to using them if we're stuck behind a slow vehicle (tractor, combine, tow vehicle) for that same reason...to warm approaching traffic from the rear. I should specify us OLDER drivers do...most of the younger drivers who got their license via Driver's Ed, don't get as much safety and courtesy training.

@@billcichoke2534 as a young dude who has spent a lot of time on the road, I've never thought or heard of doing this, glad I know now tho

@@riskyraccoon It's part of a number of things my father taught/showed me when I was very young. Things like flashing high beams as a vehicle passes you, so they know it's safe to change back over. Since he had been stationed in Europe while he was in the military, it might account for him knowing these things. But you can see truckers doing a lot of this stuff on a daily basis, so...

It's important to note that in some places (certain states at least, idk about countries) that being a moving vehicle with your hazards on is illegal since hazards are reserved for stationary objects. Seems like itd cut down on snowstorm hazards usage except the only place I *know* this law exists is Florida, the snow free state. Also, some cultures use a hazard blink as a thank you/acknowledgement. I think that's adorable.

Yes it is very nice. Keeps the viewer engaged

Please bear with me. No ill will here, just how I felt about that video and what i would like better. After the first 3 minutes of this video i was like: WTH? What kind of noob did the editing for this Video. Throwing the Bible-Verse in between 2 sentences when the first one isn't even finished properly. Than throwing the part with the transmission in between the one with the reverse gear. To me this looks like some Highscool kid took one of your reviews for a homework asignment in video editing and did a bad job in hacking different parts of it back together so he could at least show his teacher that he did something. The transitions get somewhat better after the first minutes but I did like the older format better. Maybe i would like this new one better if you at least finish one point (like the section with the reverse gear) and than switch after that to one part of driving and after that is finished back and so forth instead of switching after every other sentence with no continuety between them. Even better would be if you keep in mind when the switches beween indoor and outdoor will happen when you're recording them (aka scripting the video beforehand) That way when you make the switch it would look way more professionel and not like bad editing. If you can improve on that part than I to think I and maybe others too will find this new format much more enjoyable. Best regards from germany.

Hi. Best ask a man with experience. I know what the answer will be but I'll ask. 2007 harley ultra classic or a 2005 honda goldwing? Both same price

@@nasseral-momen1463 The Harley if you like weekend rides with other Harley's and just hanging out and doing the biker thing AND THEY ARE BEAUTIFUL, but a Goldwing if you plan on taking long trips and carrying a lot of stuff with you AND WANT DROP DEAD RELIABILITY. In town I like the Goldwing better because IT RUNS MUCH COOLER. in the summer that Harley get s pretty hot waiting for the light to turn green !! I find myself scooting back trying to run from the engine heat. Harleys have a lot of primary SHAKE at idle while sitting at the light as well. It depends on what you want most from a bike. PS... I am a fan of American made and I do feel a little comprised when I think about riding a Honda... I just wish an American company made something as good as a Goldwing.

@@GK-ud8dv thanks for the reply. The harley does look beautiful I won't lie. U make 2 very good points for both bikes. I guess I will just have to think a little more. Probably wind up with the honda as it does seem an all round better bike

@@GK-ud8dv Goldwings 2010 and older are American made

Go for it u wouldn’t regret it I’m 30 I own one and runs flawlessly I’ve owned Yamaha venture 1300 and Yamaha road star1700 The GL is a couch on wheels Period And it can eat miles.

I'm 24 and want one....

You’ll regret it

I'm 31 and my first motorcycle is a 76 goldwing, loved the bike and I look great on it haha

He’s 32 now

I love canyon carving in the Rockies. Amazed how many bikes cant keep up. The loud ones are the worst

I just picked up an 08 as well. Awesome bike!

When you got old and turn 40?

@gemini232003 physical and mental ailments aside in today's world a 40 year old man is still very much capable,

@gemini232003 10-4

thought they didnt come out till 2008? GL1800

Wow so sad you think Ur old at 40... What a negative mental attitude

Definitely an average dude

You are a young man that doesn’t care what others think. Wise

WOW , THATS RARE - HOW MANY 21 YEAR OLDS HAVE A GOLDWING

God bless ur grandpa, I hope I can live to 80 and still be able to enjoy bikes

My neighbor is 75 and rides his BMW's (he has four) often and fast.

I rode with a group a couple of years ago where one of the guys got his first bike at 75, and been through all of the 48 states and several Canadian provinces! Hope I'm in that good of shape at that age!!

MAYBE TRIKE. IT OUT , HAD MY WING " ROADSMITH " . SO FAR NO PROBLEMS .

I'll be 73 in a couple of weeks. Ride every day (no car). My 87 GL1200 is my ride in the US. Starting to wonder how many years of riding I have left but so far doing fine. Still would like a GL1500 but no room to store it.

My wife does that all the time💥😨😂

That's the fear I have I have with my wife that she's going to be too comfortable and fall asleep. I'm picking my first Gold Wing this coming up Thursday

First time I fell asleep on a bike was on the back of a 97 heritage softail I have no clue how but we were leaning alot too and my buddy said he never felt me on the back, this was when I was younger and just getting into motor sports

i hope you have armrest that sounds dangerous lol

I am getting ready to trade in my Vulcan 900 Custom for a GoldWing F6B.

Eric Schneider, not legal in Florida, though many people do

It's yellow duee

@@MrJiffyjiffy123 they come in many different colors. Mine's silver. duee....

I’m 14 and think they are cool (I realize I’m a nerd)

I just bought one at 49 :) Put 8,000 miles on it in about 4 months.

Shit have you seen the cafe racers and bobbers ppl turn the old ones into they look sick

WHEN I WAS 37 I WOULD NEVER HAVE GOTTEN ONE , WHEN I WAS 38 I BOUGHT ONE AND STILL HAVE IT 13 YEARS LATER - WOULD NEVER BE WITHOUT ONE NOW

I am 62 and I just bought a 1982 with 18,000km. Get one. It's worth it

im 64 and hope to ride forever lol

I hit my Hazards 4 and sometimes 6 times a day commuting daily 60 miles on my ST1300. If I'm last in line at a stop light. If I see someone oncoming signaling for a left turn on a 4 lane road called Highway 17 in the Santa Cruz mountains . Anything to make me Temporarily more visible so they don't cross my path. That and High beams, and moving to the left side of lane 1 to separate myself from car clutter. I did want a GoldWing but I bought the 2014 GoldWing Valkyrie instead for my weekends

I hear everything you say, but with the 6 speed starting in '18 my thoughts are that you are shifting more often in town as the gears are closer together which is even more annoying so I'm not sure if this applies to this bike....I'm buying a low mileage '08 next week so I'll deal with the 5 speed for awhile.. Go to Henry's rear drive you change out the rear gear to give you lower mileage...

^^^ What Craig Campbell says. It's all about the sensation of being in motion.

Getting '08 next week, I'll love the heated grips and seat 😅

wow - that was a deal

Trade up and get the 01 night and day

that’s cool how was it on the pacific coast ?

I live in the city and my average commute is like 4 kilometers I ride my 125 more than my 600 Dx Wish I had a need for a gold wing tho

I have an ‘85 Aspencade with 40k miles!

You should go from your 1985 to the 2018 youl notice the brakes are a little better...

Andy they could also change over production From one model motorcycle to a different one. In 1987 it was about a 20 minute change at the Kumamoto and about the same at the Hsmamatsu Japan plant. They also had mini assembly lines that made small units in small numbers and that worked out as well. Power carrier line (Twin tracked mini walk behind hauler) was in a like room with maybe a dozen women in white uniforms doing the build. Additionally you could see two different year civics on the line as the changeover was a running change. They used to be really flexible and could bang out a discontinued production model (as in production concluded till the following year) after getting a request for more units. But just in time production changed that. Orders for parts are set way out and in advance of production. Dealers are expected to order way out and maybe 1 year in advance and take their orders of automobiles. But add floods In Thailand, nuke meltdown in Fukushima and you've got parts disruption all over the world. Affected many manufactures globally as certain quality parts came from affected areas.

YEAH , 5 IS TOO MANY
