2008 Honda Goldwing: Regular Car Reviews

We ride Honda's flagship motorcycle. The Gold Wing. When you need the best touring motorcycle, you get a Honda. The only thing you need to get used to is its size.

He should do your magna ps been following you since the note not actually brown intro

[@darius2640]

when you look at the rear of this bike, from the shape of the taillights, it looks like an S2000 sitting on top of 5gen accord coupe, or maybe that's just me

[@AgentJayZ]

Dang. You are good. This is spot on. The non-riders who call this a two wheeled car are missing one little detail... it's a two wheeled Corvette! Damn right. Ride one and feel like captain of the Enterprise. Twist that throttle and your first words are "Holy Shit!"

[@briand4000]

Coming from a Turbine Master like yourself, you are well-versed on the subject of pure power! I just want an afterburner in the trunk of my '06 Wing. Hook me up, brother!

[@sandasturner9529]

Yes it is pretty quick.

[@mndlessdrwer]

Not to mention that flat-6 engines, much like I-6 engines, make good low-end torque, which is an unusual feature for motorcycles and is one of the significant contributing factors for the Goldwing being an easy bike to learn to ride on.

[@thedownwardmachine]

"So you're... lookin' directly at drivers' eyes and trying to discern how dumb they are." This is the quote that made the video for me.

NOT A CAR... er, wait, it's almost a car....

It can tow a car :)

[@buggs9950]

I've had lots of cars with a smaller engine.

Only, with more parts.

Can concur. Riding a motorcycle takes way more brain power than a car and you'll never drive a car the same way after you learn to ride a motorcycle.

[@quentins5692]

After my first bike, I never answered another text or Snapchat or changed a song on my phone while driving again. I know it sounds bad but I had a horrible habit of it. After my first bike, I realized just how damn dangerous it was. I use my headunit if I need to skip. I glance at all three mirrors almost constantly and always pause for motorcycles, much to the disdain of impatient drivers.

[@icebreakertech]

I want a motorcycle but all the interior features of a car, Honda Goldwing...

This is the most underrated comment in the whole comment section lmao.

[@kokobeatz7222]

[@Zalonka]

I want to confess I took my 2015 Ninja from Wisconsin down to Georgia. That night I slept like a baby. The next day I rode my bike for 15 hours maybe taking an hour brake all together that day. Eating lunch and stopping at some gas stations for fuel. The following day I rode for 14 hours. Going from Georgia to.. North Carolina and TN. That's right you already know what roads I'm talking about.. I love you TOUCH on the things motorcyclists pay attention to. There are paragraphs of missing information but for the general viewers they get an idea. If everyone had to ride at least a scooter for a year before they had their full license. They would a more watchful driver for the rest of their lives.

[@kleinbottled79]

I have also sinned. I toured Angeles Crest Hwy, Sequoia National Forest, and visited a friend in Fresno before returning to San Diego on a Ninja 300. Three 300-350 mile days. I planned that length because everyone told me how exhausted I would be, especially on my little bike. TBH I could have gone further each day. Rode 2 1/2 hours through LA to oceanside with some traffic in one stint. If the bike had a slightly better seat I wouldn't have much to complain about. Legs get a little stiff but can be stretched on the bike. My feeling is one can tour on any bike. (Although the Goldwing has more appeal to me now that I've tasted vast open highways.) We are so spoiled on our motorbikes, the road bicycles I've toured 1000s of miles on make any motorcycle seem a luxury vehicle.

[@MilesFromExtraordinary]

Zalonka - Crazy, that's exactly what you do in Taiwan - ride a scooter for a year before getting a car license. I'm in Wisconsin too!

[@fkerpants]

Dude, that's nothing to confess. That's something to be proud of, especially on a bike like that.

[@B10401]

I'm planning to take my sv650 from Wisconsin to the rockies (glacier, yellowstone area). It's naked so I'm thinking about what the Dakotas will be like etc. I'll try to give myself plenty of time and flexibility schedule-wise.

[@kyles280]

Miles From Extraordinary I’m also in Wisconsin!

[@mws3779]

Good Lord you are soooooo right, there is so much more to riding a bike mentally than a car. Most car drivers feel safe and secure in their steel cocoons, where us riders are fully exposed to the world. I won't ride if I feel it fatigued in the least. One last thing I would like to mention. Growing up a friend's father was Die Hard Harley-Davidson, but when he got older and still wanted to ride. He went out and bought a Goldwing.

[@pedlpower]

Well, we do get wiser as we get older! 😉

[@abedekok322]

My gramps had over a dozen of these *t a n k s* drove them from the Southeast to Nova Scotia with gram, always liked the 90's gold wings he had as the styling was sooooooo 90's

[@wellsbengston4132]

He misspoke. It's 123 lb-ft. Still more than some cars.

[@joshbobst1629]

Well, he said at the rear wheel, so maybe it was in a lower gear when they measured the torque?

[@HeroRR]

210 ft/lb of torque??? whhhaaa...? I think you made a mistake here.

[@goodmorning8172]

He meant 110 lb/ft

[@muttbone01]

Being a seasoned rider for decades, having had saddle time in just about every aspect an owning a fair few, by FAR my favorite that I've owned is the one I have now, the Honda F6B. Basically, it's a lower, trimmed down Goldwing, in that it doesn't have a trunk bag, no reverse gear, no cruise control (early ones didn't, newer versions now have it, mine does with a retro-fit), an no adjustable suspension like the full-dress Goldwing. Hells, even the mirrors are the original Goldwing mirrors, but hung upside-down! It really is a lowrider 'Wing. Super plush, stable, quick an quiet, an almost no feeling of being tired after a 500 mile run to Myrtle Beach. After you get over the size intimidation factor, you realize that it's deceptively agile an easier to handle than you would first think. TONS of torque, like that of a diesel truck...the torque is just an endless wave. It doesn't tug you around, it wafts you effortlessly.

“Calling this a sport bike is like a bigger misnomer than the term Apple Genius Bar.” HOT.... DAMN!

[@goldwing7714]

Evidently, you have never ridden a Goldwing 1800. You feel like you're riding a sport bike. For the 2001 model redesign, the first year for the 1800, who did Honda pick to head the project? They tapped the head of Honda's motorcycle road racing, a 250cc Grand Prix technician, whose task was to make it more sporty. The 1800 corners incredibly.

[@Aderin.]

I haven't ever even been on a motorcycle and I know the goldwing handles like a sport bike

[@burkezillar]

Imagine, for a moment, a two wheeled V6 Accord. I need a change of pants.

[@NotFromConcentrate]

BMW K1600GT maybe? :)

[@KayakTN]

Honda's shaft drive is still the smoothest motorcycle drivetrain I've ever encountered.

[@nomadben]

Excellent video. You're not joking Mr. Regular; I rode a Ninja 636 several hours across the state once. PAAAAAAIINNNNN. Also, whoever's reading this, go to your nearest BMW motorcycle dealer and test ride the K1600GT. It's pretty much BMW's version of this, but instead of a flat-6, it's a 1600cc inline-6, and OH BOY does it sound good. It sounds like if you mixed an E46 M3 with an F1 car (the last generation). Plus, you don't ever feel the slightest bit of vibration from the engine.

[@kabj06]

I took my Ducati M900 on a two hour road trip through the mountains and my shoulders, arms, and palms hated me for days

[@martinshuster387]

Goldwings don't vibrate either

[@DiegoRuiz1991]

You are quite the weaklings... Maybe it is because I started going all-offroad from ages 6 to 17 but, yeah, I can travel for miles and miles on a motorbike without much pain. Of course a grand tourer is more comfortable but one of those "naked bikes with fairings" are good enough to cover 300-400 miles per day. Here is one of my last trips before having to sell my bike: · Barcelona-Tomelloso= thursday evening-night after working for 8h · Tomelloso-Jerez = friday morning, arrived late to watch the final practice sessions · Jerez = saturday and sunday all about MotoGp and other side activities · Jerez-Tomelloso = sunday afternoon-evening · Tomelloso-Barcelona = monday morning then worked the night shift 1250 miles in 4 stages. I could've been comfortable but it was 100% doable. I saw some folks doing the same route with stuff like CBR1100XX and even some crazy guy with a goddamn 2-stroke sportsbike (Yamaha RD350) from the 80s.

[@JMLueckeA7X]

Plus they're FAST. My dad used yo have one, it was a gnarly to be going 110 in absolute comfort.

[@MiGujack3]

@helicopter weewee Honestly, it depends. If you are the hoon type of guy, get the K. If you care about smooth and Honda indestructibility then Goldwing.

[@nakamichipanasonic2140]

The main difference is that Honda made a motorcycle for a specific type of riders and the Gold Wing came, BMW facelifted K1600 to try to do a Goldwing rival... Not only BMW, all the manufacturers want to do a bike which is close to Goldwing, and Goldwing is their measuring unit.

[@zachmiller9175]

@MGTOW CAT FOOD SALESMAN it's also a different kind of bike...

[@davem4143]

Another excellent review by Mr R, and very accurate summation of biking at the end!!

[@noreworks]

Your regular bike reviews are certainly goldclass.

[@captainexcabier]

My parents had some friends who rode Goldwings back in the '90s. Seemed like pretty nice bikes back then, too, though I could never quite get over my fear of riding them.

[@robertpolkamp]

Your gonna die anyway, what's there really to fear? Look at your life as a split second, your entire life, now what are you going to do with that split second? Stay in fear of motorcycles? Not me.

[@thinredpaste]

If you get a chance, check out a Honda Valkyrie. the 97-03 models, not the new weird thing they put that name on. They're goldwings without all the plastic. Every bit as smooth and as fast, and you can get them with this gargantuan windshield that makes them almost as easy on your stamina. If you make it to Raleigh you're welcome to ride mine.

[@scottnoller8619]

Grew up on the back of a Valk Interstate

[@Tyblorg]

Yess the Valkyrie Interstate. So badass it didn't even have a center stand.

[@Condorito380]

Believe it or not, a Valkyrie is exactly my dream bike. Of course, being an engineering student, my fever dream is to put a super on it and see how many pounds I can shave off the bike. I may be a cruiser rider, but I love me some triple digits.

[@NoBrakes23]

I've wanted to make a GL1000 or GL1100 bobber/chopper for years. Finally saw a guy who had done that a couple of years ago. Sounded nasty and looked the business.

[@mrRhwalden]

The 1500 Valkyrie had a different engine set up... it was a honda gl1500 engine and trans, but it had different ignition timing and six carbs instead of two. (the Gl1500 goldwing only had two carbs). The exhaust was also different and I *think* it had hotter cams. They are just nasty sounding bikes. The Ugly one you are referring to is the Valkyrie rune.... It was based off the gl1800. Other bikes, not quite a Goldwing but is a goldwing is the FB6 (it's a gl1800 goldwing without the trunk and a cut down windshield and not as many options)

[@johnbaptise2262]

Im glad u started doin motorcycle reviews. It’s kind of an evolution with me as well so it’s pretty sweet

[@themikeydonuts]

"Kawasaki, Suzuki, and Yamaha will hand in their traced art..." Ouch. As a former V-Star and Vulcan owner that one stings a little bit.

[@hayksamvelyan]

You sold me on this bike. Nice work! p.s.: You also described what it's like to ride a motorcycle for longer distances, absolutely perfectly. After riding my Ninja 250 for more than an hour and a half, I didn't want to get back on it for at least a week. That is when I finally started to understand why people love cruisers with big windshields, heated grips, and cushy seats.

[@mosmotorcyclejourney9067]

[@stixs2005]

The part where he talks about how quiet the exhaust is....I had a Honda ST1300, it was quiet, sounds a lot like this goldwing. Harley riders, said it sounded like a sewing machine. I always responded, “great. It supposed to sound efficient, reliable and quick”

Dragunov302 Why would you say that? I'm merely pointing out a simple fact. The Goldwing is a Japanese bike, hence it wouldn't be a 7 series beamer on 2 wheels. It would be a Acura RLX on 2 wheels. The top of the line BMW motorcycle would be a 7 series on wheels.

Wow! This is the most complete and fair assessment of the Goldwing I've ever viewed. I've owned a 96' GL1500, four trips from California to Alabama and back. An 01' GL 1800 and currently the 15' F6B. That's 22 years and countless miles on a Wing, so I'm uniquely qualified to comment. Gunny J. OUT!

[@guttsu]

My dad is on his second Goldwing (First a GL1500 ANNIVERSARY Edition) and now a GL1800, and they're definitely sweet bikes. You couldn't be more right about how deceptively quick they are, damn they have no right to hustle like they do. But I disagree that they're made for cruising at 100. They only have a 5 speed transmission, and man they run high revs on anything over 70-80. (Also the GL1500 was still carburated into the 90s).

[@christopherconard2831]

If the Goldwing is a bit too much, try a Pacific Coast. Also from Honda, just smaller.

[@fkerpants]

I always liked that bike, but I couldn't get past the rear. The integrated fairing on the tail makes it look like a fat broad's ass.

[@wellsbengston4132]

Great review and you nailed every point about fatigue and watching traffic that exist. I owned a Suzuki C-109-RT their huge bagger with a 1800cc V-Twin and road that for about a year. Took that sucker from Daytona to Key West in one day and OH my gawd I was exhausted after those many hours on I-95 then US-1. But nearly was run over one to many times here in the Retirement State and sold the bike frustrated at the idiots on the road that ruined my hobby.

Great video. I own a 1998 gold wing and have been riding bikes for over 30 years. I have ridden 50 cc all the way up to the 1500, Honda, harley, Yamaha, Suzuki and will agree, gold wing and Honda for that matter are head and shoulders better than the competition. When you speak over dangers and fatigue, it is expressed from a seasoned rider as no other inexperienced rider could truly, realistically comprehend what you are describing. Tremendous video my friend. I found it thoroughly entertaining.

[@mattmopar440]

Been waiting for this since the Harley Davison Review

[@cipmars]

It sounds like George Jetson’s car.

[@TheTarrMan]

Almost a car?

[@HondamaticDave]

Excellent review. I worked with a master technician at a powersports dealership who specialized in Goldwings. He described them as the ''Cadillac'' of motorcycles, one of the best motorcycles you could get. They would only have a major breakdown due to, 14 out of 15 times, the owner not taking care of it. Even then the bike will keep going until the engine explodes. We had a guy who brought his Wing saying the engine was making a loud noise. When we checked it out we discovered that the owner had ran super shitty fuel through the system that caused the valves to develop a lacquer, and were not working right. The valves were even kissing the pistons, already causing damage, but that bike kept going. Cost the guy $3k for a valve repair on the LEFT 3 cylinders, because he ran really old fuel through it. Again great review, as soon as I saw this in my feed I tapped it. Keep up the great work!

I know it's late (6yrs ago) but I'm in stitches, thank you so much, spot on. Ur analogies are so funny but so true!!!

[@xeronicus]

Explaining a goldwing to people who don't like them is a waste of time, kinda like trying to explain to Harley riders that other brands exist(and some do it better), and telling a BMW owner what the turn signal is(I'm a bmw owner). Exercises in frustration all of them. Dad has had 2 86 gl1200 aspencades, he's older, and it's just a comfy ride for him and mom. Me? I like weird things...maxims and round case ducatis...moto guzzis...urals...you know....weird things.

Which crotchrocket is best crotchcouch?

[@robertpolkamp]

Thè Yamaha FJ09 (Traser) is about as close to a crotch rocket that I rode from Florida to Alaska and back, couch however may be slightly exaggerated but it is cheap. You can buy mine for 6000 used and will do the trip again without complaints.

I rode in the sidecar of a gl1500 from Phoenixville PA to Disney world once when I was 5 with my dad. Great memory. He used to tour these things around the continental US for years with my mom on the back for a lot of it. Hundreds of thousands of miles logged. They would do consecutive 500+ mile days and not even break a sweat. I’m 20 now and this bike got me into riding.

Do a VFR

[@EasilyToxic]

Benjamin Naismith I've got the grandpa to the VFR, A 1983 VF750F Interceptor with only 11k miles on her. Absolutely nothing like the sound of the V4s

[@benno_360]

EasilyToxic great stuff. I had a 94 and a 98

Very interesting review. I had no idea these were so sophisticated or expensive.

Outstanding recap / overview of . . . The Goldwing. Just, just . . . JUST bought a 2007 Metallic Black Honda Goldwing. Started with a Honda 50 mini-bike in 1975. Got a 1982 Yamaha 650 Seca out of the box in 1985. Road that HARD in Germany for 3 years. GOD saved my life 3 times there. Then in 2006, got a Honda PC 800 . . . fun bike, smooth. On to a 2003 Honda ST1300 in 2007 . . . fast, really fast. Smooth. Electronic windshield. ALL Wings should have had this. Now a Goldwing. I am shocked at HOW Smooth this is. And how Powerful it is. And how amazingly Comfortable it is. Just. LOVE. It!! My wife loves the back seat too. PSM16 is our license plate . . . much to be thankful for! God-Speed to all you who RIDE.

NOT A BIKE!!

[@xerodelacroix5552]

NOT A CAR...wait, actually, it might as well be.

[@mraltoid19]

I like how the back of this motorcycle looks like the rear of a Tiny S2000 on top of rear 90s Era Honda Accord.
