I bought the unit. It didn't work right for me, my e. CU work fine before I bought this it within 3 months. It trash my ECU. NOT recommend it.

awesome bike my goodness

great review thank you for sharing , hello from australia happy 2025

WHAT WOULD MAKE ME TRADE IN MY CURRANT WING (2021) ??? an X-wife !!!!

If Honda was going to do something for thier 50th anniversary, it would already be making news around the dealerships and media outlets. I think the only thing Honda is going to do for it 50th is add a new color to the same motorcycle.

I'm hearing the DCT clutches are burning out in constant low speed and stop and go conditions.

Guy named Ivan does ECM flash, mine runs awesome now.

The older Goldwing 2002 should replace the rear shock absorber, I did and the bike was mutch hoger , newer models should set de preset at full 2 passengers with luggage that will increase the you angel space :)

Merry Christmas Rich & Lorna !! Look forward to your content in 2025 !

Merry Christmas!

"...on your journeys out there!" Chilly in FLA....It's 20's Farenheit in the 203!!!

Happy holidays and all the best for 2025

A terrific 2024 was had with you guys. Thank you for your informative, real world content and positivity. Continued blessings and good health to the both of you.

Merry Kringle

That was great guys merry Christmas to you and your family!

Merry Christmas to you and your family.

Which road pegs are those and where did you get them ? I've got the same engine guard.. Thanks for the video and safe travels brother !!

I love the m109.. but I’m not getting one until the add cruise control. More wind protection, and more fit for taller guys

I'm 6'1" and 290#'s. The Generation 6 wing just felt uncomfortable to me in the seat and leg position. However, the Gen 5 full GW doesn't give much room for rider as it shares comfort for passenger as well. Now my F6B is perfect for me. It has a totally different seat design than the full Wing. Plus the Gen 6 just is not big enough for me, I'm like the one guy you mention that he Dwarfs the bike.

Hey Rich. The Gen6 do look small. I'm a smidge under 6'5" 225 lbs. I ride 98 Goldwing GL1500 SE. My knee do hit the C.B. button sometimes but I'm still kinda comfortable riding this bike. Gotta change my seat & footpegs. It'll probably improve my riding experience. ✊🏾🙏🏾😎

Great video Rich. Thank you. Always thought provoking. Always informative. I’m feeling great at 5’10. Best to you and Lorna. Happy Holidays to ya’ll.

6'4" 34" inseam. My 23 Wing Bagger DCT with Goldstrike highway pegs is the most comfortable bike I've ridden. Knees are about 1.5 " away from the fairing and further with the highway pegs. AT advanced age and limited right hip movement I get on by standing on the left rider peg and can swing over my route 1 bag and backrest no problem. I have to sit in an upright position so the Wing is great. I sold my Indian 26" high seat bagger because it killed my lower back on long rides despite floorboards and highway pegs. Ride what is comfortable!

I’ve seen some fat people on GOLDWINGs

Another great video Rich!

Hey Rich as always good to hear your valid opinion… telling it like it should be told. I’m 6’1” 245 lbs with no modes to support a more comfortable ride and I have to say my 2023 is as comfortable as any other bike I’ve rode if not more comfortable. I am going to put some highway pegs on it soon just for extended ride comfort

I envy you and your perfect fit body for the Goldwing. I'm 76, 6'3", 34' inseam, 280lbs., size 14 boot. I can't swing my leg past the travel trunk or lift it over the seat high enough to get on the seat. I fit just fine on my 15 year old '09 Harley Ultra Classic Electraglide but I had to remove the travel trunk 5 or 6 years ago because it became too difficult for me to squeeze past the travel trunk. Without the travel trunks I can swing my leg over the rear fender. I know Honda has a model without the trunk but I'd still have to have a custom seat to move me back, Heli bars or similar and after market foot controls on the Goldwing because no floorboards and no heel toe-shifter doesn't work for me. So, that adds a few thousand bucks. That and the fact that my age is no picnic makes me wonder if i should just continue to enjoy what I have. If Honda made a Gen 6 or 7 Goldwing that fit me I'd be riding one right now. Enjoyed your video, thanks.

I own a 2021 Honda DCT Tour. I'm 6'1", with a 32-inch inseam, and weigh 250 lbs. For long-distance trip leg comfort, I added the Goldstrike 3-way adjustable highway pegs. My next purchase will be the Tall Boy seat from Ultimate Seats.

6’5” 228 lbs, 34” inseam. Too cramped stock, so I swapped my stock seat for a Corbin that sits me 2” further and puts me in a slight sport touring lean. Also a Klock Werks recurve windscreen and highway pegs. Multi-day road trips felt great.

Yeah, I've seen 6' + people ride Wing without any problems. However, if you have the slightest knee issues, then the stock seating position can be a major problem, especially on a long ride. As with any bike, comfort is king.

It is good to see you, Rich. I am just a hair under 6'4" and now weigh near 270lbs. My inseam is 32" which is important, so I am longer in the torso. I used to ride a Victory Vision, but do to my needs to run more off pavement, I ended up selling it and buying a low mileage fully outfitted 2017 BMW R1200 GSA. I will be turning 70 shortly and just needed a lighter weight, multi-function motorcycle. Since I also tour regularly, I needed the ability to carry a lot of stuff for long rides and then easily drop the panniers for short distances. I think I made a good choice based on my style of riding. That is the key; you buy a bike that fits you physically and checks the boxes. The only limitation with my Beemer is that it is definitely not a beginner motorcycle and is very responsive and fast. If you lack self discipline it will kill you. You may die with a smile on your face, but dead is dead. Ride within your skill level. Keep it safe out there!

I am 6'1" 260 pounds

6 feet and 254 lbs. I love my 2024 Goldwing. I personally do not use highway pegs. I am sure anyone over 6'6" will hit their knees on the air deflectors.

Can't subscribe for some reason

6’4” here. I ended up with Indian Pursuit. The Goldwing was a strong option for me. I had just enough knee room. The leg room is a bit less too. But could work. In the end, my choice came down to these things coupled with the very large saddle bags. Clamshell cases just didn’t quite hold enough. But I won’t rule a Goldwing out for the future. I figure I can’t stop riding before owning at least 1!

well great to see the bike out n the road, as i live in great Britain, one has to stay vigilant all the time as the road are not as wide as what you have in your video. but it the same were ever you are, and on the Motorways which do have lots of traffic on them, you must never let your concentration wonder for a moment, you see folk on the cell phones eating food as they drive its just never ending, but there is one city that is hell on earth is Paris in the rush hour, well there is no rush hour its kind of full on all day long. as its bumper to bumper at high speed, as i found out when i took the wrong runoff lane. so stay safe, yours Kevin

It's never too gold as long as there's no snow. We have been using heated gear forever and love it. Cones or Curb? Check out one of our old videos regarding practice. I think you'll like it, kzbin.info/www/bejne/kJqcdmtviZh-r8Usi=a1Y4VaDNiKW8QQ3c

Rather ride a 35° day than a 95° day anytime!

I recognize that area! I passed through Lake City on my way to Bike Week. - as for cold weather, here in Nashville, I roll year around with the help of a heated 12Vdc system. I can’t help feed my addiction as you call it!

I think the more you ride the more proficient you'll become today with all writing conditions.

Ritch, I don't have a temperature degree, no matter what the temperature is I'm going riding up here in Raeford North Carolina. I rode yesterday and the temperature was in the 20 to Charlotte NC, I just put on my heated suit and keep it moving. The only thing that will stop me from riding is if there is ice on the road other than that I ride almost 364 days a year. I ride my 2018 Goldwing in the rain/snow I don't care.

I use warm and safe heated gear. The vest and gloves let you ride in pretty much any temp.

I would say when the rubber freezes to the ground

Great video, Rich😊 last year I took a ride to the top of Roan Mountain and encountered some snow😳 that will bring out some slow speed skills. As we know, keep that bike straight up. S.S. Goldwing

Hey, Rich. I have been testing the same temperature levels. So far, i made it to 37 degrees without any real problems. I believe my cut-off will be 32 degrees for road safety reasons. Im sure we can ride under that temperature, but i don't see the point. Ride safe.

This is absolutely EXCELLENT advice that you rarely hear any other KZbinrs mentioned. Thank you my brother. I remember that Jesus Christ is King and he is coming back for his own. don't be left behind. 🎗️Time is running out. Please don't let Satan deceive you. Something BIG is about to happen. Remember, HE came into this world to save us from ourselves. From the schemes of the DEVIL. Spiritual warfare is intense and very real. Tomorrow's not promised to you or I. People die every day, lots of people. Nuclear war could break out at any time. And the rapture is truly imminent. I'm 50 years old, and it took me that long to find out the truth. Besides that, tomorrow is NOT promised to you or I. Look at all the warning signs around you. YHVH is trying to shake you out of this complacency. The enemy wants you to believe that everything will continue just as it always has been. Pray and ask GOD, who created the heavens and the earth and made YOU in HIS own image for the truth to be revealed to you. If you are sincere in your prayer, HE will reveal it to you. I was in a very dark area of my life at some point, and it's only because of HIM , HE took me out of the darkness and brought me into his glorious light. And now I have to share what I know. Because the devil, he truly wants to kill you. Do you know why? Because you were created in the image of God 💯 It all starts with the simple ABC'S . And no, nothing happens by coincidence. I know you're asking that. Don't brush this off, it could cost you dearly. You will live an eternal life in either one of two places, whether you believe it or not. 🚫And it has NOTHING to do with being a good person. Satan is called the father of all lies for a reason. Don't let him dupe you. 👉A - Admit Admit what you have done wrong and ask forgiveness. Romans 3:23 All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. Romans 6:23 The wages of sin is death. I John 1:9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness _______________________________________ 👉B - Believe Believe that Jesus died on the cross and rose again as a payment for your sins. John 3:16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. 1 Corinthians 15:3-4 Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the Scriptures. Romans 5:8 But God demonstrates His own love for us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. ________________________________________ 👉C - Confess and Choose Confess and choose to allow God to be in charge of your life Matthew 16:24 Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. Romans 10:9 If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. Romans 10:10 For with the heart man believes unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. Romans 10:13 Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.

A Great color

Great video Rich. I might get a new one, but I don’t think I’ll ever get rid of the SS Goldwing 😊

Both of us have the 40th anniversary and still love them. I (Rich) plan on getting a new Wing when I reach 300k miles. Oh, Honda hasn't released the 2025 Wings because I haven't given them permission to release it yet. IJS!

I hope to see Active Cruise Control

Well, I am amazed to learn the TPMS on the Wing isn't as good as the FOBO's on my two bikes(Harley Ultra and Rocket R3 Triumph) and two of my three cars. Thank you for that revelation, Bro. Lots to like about the new generation Wing but have been very bummed over the incredible amount of work/expense required to change the air cleaner, to open the gas tank, to put it in Park/Brake, the finicky lids and plastics and doors, etc. My last Honda was a 2001 Valkyrie Interstate, yup 1500, 6 jugs, 6 carbs, Awesome in many ways but a real slug handling wise. Still looking for someone like you to tip me over the edge and onto a new gen Wing. Question: Can a big fat dude, 6'3", 280 lb., size 14 boot, be comfortable on this Gen Wing? I know I could go down to a dealer and sit on one but I'd like to avoid that potential humiliation and get some opinions beforehand. Thanks, like your video. 👍 PS forgot to mention I am 76 and have a vey hard time singing my leg past a travel trunk and thus why i removed the trunk on my Harley, if i go Wing I'd probably need the trunkless model. thanks again.
