Thinking of buying a 2016

88k on Harley 96ci, I don’t think mine would’ve passed from factory😂

Excellent video very informative ❤❤❤

Just another piece of Chinese garbage. The Chinese auto and motorcycle industry simply copies the best, but with substandard materials, poor technology, and they are known for not standing behind their products.

Just more cheap Chinese junk!

Nope it's crap out the box

WHAT??NO TRAIL 70S?? beware of Kenda Kruz rear tires ...I've had TWO of them disintigrate on my 82 Aspencade! If that keeps up, I WILL have GOLD WINGS!

Oh my gosh. Loved loved loved this video. Your tribute to your older brother is very heartfelt. Your finding your 400 is very similar to mine. Just found mine two weeks ago in a garage 6 blocks from my house here in Owen Sound. I have been searching for many many years. This bike also has very special place in my heart unfortunately mine in in a lot tougher condition. But it came at a good price and I will bring it back to stock. There are a couple of things (shifter and rear brake pedal) that look very different than yours. Mine will go up on the lift this fall and fingers cross d ready to ride in the spring. Looking forward to more videos. Cheers

My first bike was a 1987 VFR 750 interceptor. In 2013. I had never even ridden a full size bike other than my buddy's Harley the day he taught me to ride and shift. I had ridden a little 150 around town in Miami. Moved home to Boston and eventually wanted a real bike. The gas station up the street from me had an 81 Kawasaki road bike and a Honda VFR 750 for sale. Ad soon as I touched it we bonded. I paid $800 for it then spent another $800 on a full service, plugs, fluids. Filters. New front tire. New chain. New front brakes... It was frickin awesome. I didn't realize HOW special that bike was until I told people I got it and it was my first bike. The number of people asking me if I was fuckin crazy was at first disconcerting, but only because it's such a fast and legendary bike. I'd buy another one cost for cost. Do I want a BMW, Yamaha, or Aprilia? Yes. Am I buying another motorcycle in this economy? Nope. My first week I raced a 1965 Cobra 427 up route 3 from Cape cod. It was 7am on a summer Saturday, clear and dry. He and I were the only people on the highway that moment. Old head. The type of guy that can afford a real 1965 Cobra 427 and Massachusetts registration license plate #1965. White hair. Ford trucker cap. Aviators. $30,000 Rolex. I was that close. Oyster Perpetual Day/date. I pulled up in the left lane while he was cruising the right, to offer a nod and pay my respects to the vehicle and it's accomplished owner. Those are the rules I don't make the rules. You see a Shelby Cobra you pay respect to the car and the driver. Superformance, Factory 5, or Shelby American, it doesn't matter. He returned my nod with a little wave. We're going 75. He gooses it to 90 real quick. I respond with the same. He gooses it to 110. I do the same. He looks ahead, sees no police, guns it and I chased him. 130...140... Both back off. Look at each other and share a smile and a shake of the head in minor disbelief. He slows back down to 75-80 and I carry 90 up towards Boston. The entire thing lasted maybe 30 seconds from my nod to my departure. It happened so fast and we both hit 140 so fast that is the actual point of the story. We didn't "race" competitively, we just played a little tag with our fast toys. And backed off immediately. That was my first week as a motorcycle owner and the Interceptor was so smooth and straight at 90 that it was almost impossible to dip to speed limit on open highway without remembering every 4 seconds to check speed. It was a perfect size for stability and agility. That squared aluminum chassis was sweet as fuck. But the real star is that 4-cylinder masterpiece from the kings. I got to 140 so fast from 90 that I didn't have time to feel it or get scared. Once I noticed I was most certainly aware of my circumstances. But that fucking bike was rock solid. No gear was high enough. It bucked up at the front like a racehorse through 4. My carburetor was really well-tuned. No effort of mine. Some skilled tech did it. But it worked and as long as you revved as high as the bike wanted, they stayed pretty clean and strong. I do not work for Honda I just have fond memories. By the way, I'm 5'10", 150lbs. So unless I was over the tank well when I shifted. The bike acted like I wasn't there. Now I understand the 500 or 600 would have been a better first bike if I knew what I was doing. I'm glad I didn't. It was a tiny bit big for my frame, but I still fit fine. It's size made it smooth at every speed.

nice video,i would like to buy one,i was wondering how much are they goin for in good condition now a days thank you

I guess you get smarter when you get older , I sold my wing it’s too damn dangerous riding with dip-shits texting driving next to me , I miss it dearly

everything perfect untel this handlebar!! they ruined it :s

great results! What kind of paint did you use?

no ! end of discussion ! that any self respecting motorcyclist even talks about this is

Sorry but it's "RED China"

They often sent one bare Goldwing to a dealer. Very impressive machine when its naked.

Amazing video thank u so much...meeting the owner of 2002 goldwing tomorrow to test drive it and at 57 years old was considering if it's heavy, bulky etc...after this video I guess I will go for it and buy it instead of a versys 1000 cc...thank u brother

You are, indeed, a lucky man. May it stay that way for as long as possible.

Just picked up a 06 and it is a sweetheart of a Bike !

Nope

I guess many “Goldwing Slayers” came and gone over the past 50 years but I think this time it's different. They are facing a locomotive behemoth compared to others in manufacturing and Honda needs to move upscale or get run over. Just my prediction. Btw, My GW has 153k and runs great.

I have a Chinese made SUV, zero problems, equivalent to any modern Korean or Japanese vehicle, somethings are actually better..... Resale value is equivalent to any other Korean or Japanese SUV after 2 years of ownership. Would I buy this motorcycle, a resounding yes if I was in the market for an extra large capacity tourer......I am sure the value would be retained as much as any other extra large capacity tourer....... Unfortunately a lot of people get tied up in brand snobbery........not looking at what parts the product is actually made of. Saying you you won't buy Chinese? The reality is every home has Chinese made products in their home from electronic items, clothing, linen, dinner sets, cutlery etc......... Hardware items, from screws, nuts and bolts electrical items etc.. So saying you won't buy Chinese today would only happen if you lived in a cave.........far away from civilisation..........

Looks cool. I'd like to test ride the big one

One thing we all know about the Chinese is that any research and development done over decades they get the benefit of.

I can tell you right now I don't even have to watch the video. Chinese scooters only last a week anything as complicated as a 8-cylinder motorcycle will never be reliable from China

I have a built and restored 75 cb400f. One of my fav bikes ever

I had a 75 in high school I bought it used in 1979 and rode it year round I did have the top end rebuilt but other than that it was original and I loved it wish I still had it

Excellent video.

At 1000 lbs, the Souo is too heavy. Not to mention there is no dealer network for this Chinese bike.

I confirm every sentence. Especially last one...

When I see a dealer and a well stocked parts and service I might take the plunge. Otherwise you will wait months for parts and no one to work on them.

The concept of quality is not yet caught on to China. Their scooters are crap with the exception of the 150

I just bought a 1977 400/4 in the same maroon colour as the one I had 30 years ago. Thanks for a great video.

What brand are those exhaust pipes?

Why did the 750s sound so much better than the 1000cc bikes? Was there a firing order change between the two?

"Snack bracket" 😂😂

I am lucky enough to have two additional bikes at my disposal. A few years ago I got back into the sport with the purchase of a 1998 Gold Wing Valkyrie by Honda. Little did I know that this Valkyrie would spark a heretofore unknown interest with my younger 20 year old son with his entry into motorcycling. Fast forward to successful MSF training and then onto the classifieds. Bingo! Listed was a 2006 Suzuki Savage650/S40. The ideal Goldilocks motorcycle; not too big, and not too small. Just right! After riding all last season and nearly doubling the mileage, my son was eager to move onto a new ride. After due consideration he purchased a brand new leftover 2023 Indian Scout. So now along with my Valk, I can mix up my riding with either the Suzuki or the Indian. All three of our bikes bring a certain joy de vivre! Excellent video and thank you for posting and letting me chime in.

Ask yourself this. Have I ever bought ANYTHING QUALITY from China that lasts?

by the time the 1986 VFR appeared the whole VF series became antiquated and obsolete. next, the gen3 VFR made the gen2 VFRs antiquated within just a few years

I had a 83 750 and a 85 1000 interceptors. Fantastic bikes!

I have had four Goldwings stating with 1984 and have never needed a dealership. Now on a 2021 DCT.

7+13 for me….

Thanks for the video. I won't be buying a SOUO S2000 touring bike from China, I wont be alive when it has had 50 years of testing like the Honda Gold Wing.

Great video, thanks for going to the time to make it. 👍🏻

“Harbor Freight Goldwing”…..😂😂😂😂

I love your humor, and that sucks about what happened. I will always watch yours. They need to be outed most of the time if you ask me.

Japanese bikes are very reliable, bikes made in China I'd be worried

May I ask you how long does this take to rector the whole bike ? I hope you have more detailed videos. Great job!
