2024 Honda Gold Wing Vs. 2024 Indian Pursuit

True road warriors yearn for machines as tunefully crafted for devouring lost horizons as their souls. It's a desire for a true predator, purpose-built to brace miles while cradling your capacity for wonder. We're talking about true adventure masterpieces like the Honda Gold Wing and Indian Pursuit - legendary beasts engineered specifically for the long haul. But which of the two comes out on top? Here's the head-to-head comparison.

It’s GW, and then comes all the rest!

[@rugby3874]

Nothing will outlast the Goldwing as in reliability.

[@igorpoyuta]

GW with DCT is 👑

[@alp3781]

Goldwing was my call. Cheaper, quitter, cheaper parts, superbly comfortable, Fwd/Rev walk mode, center stand. But, I do like the Indian too.

[@chiefjoseph8154]

Indian needs reverse

[@alp3781]

@@chiefjoseph8154 They do indeed. I just don't get Indian. Such a heavy bike on slow speeds, why not cater to a wider customers with center stand and walk assist REV. That turned me off and I am a tall guy and I don't really use it much on the Goldwing. Its just nice to have.

[@alp3781]

@TRC_WA Please make an effort to ride manual and DCT. You will thank me. I fell in love with the DCT. Its not for all.

@@roadglide..I think he meant “quieter”

[@roadglide]

@@joecatalano166 Obviously Joe. Thank you. 😂

[@JonR_1138]

Heres my opinion. The Goldwing DCT is the best out there. The forward/reverse walking mode is the best feature on any bike. But Honda offers more than just that. All day comfort, and a great feel when riding because that flat 6 sits low. Honda just needs to offer the Goldwing in more colors.

[@jag1963]

I own the 2023 Goldwing tour and its seat is not comfortable. The pursuits is though. Subjective I know but thats my finding and I own them both.

[@JonR_1138]

@jag1963 I've heard that on a few forums. I gave the Gold strike highway pegs so that helps.

[@GautamKumarGoswami]

Performance, Price & Look - it is indeed the Honda Goldwing that wins the race - the the best touring bike !

[@StevenZerwas]

I was a GoldWing owner, had several generations in fact. Last one was a 2018 Tour DCT Airbag. Wings are amazing motorcycles, but the Indian Pursuit has better suspension, has better handling characteristics, has top loading and larger saddlebags, has a more customizable TFT touch screen and you can easily remove the trunk if you wish. My choice is the Pursuit. For those that have never ridden an Indian Pursuit before, I highly recommend doing so at an Indian demo day event.

[@jag1963]

I own them both and I agree. The pursuit is the bike I ride more. I wish it had a centerstand like the Goldwing does though.

[@ARCSSelfDefense]

I've been on both, but for me it is was the Indian Pursuit for the room and comfort. If you are 6' tall or more the Honda is beyond cramped. Honda has no floorboards, far less storage, smaller fairing results in less wind & rain protection. Honda is a great setup, but the Indian wins for comfort on those long rides.

[@adrespostbus201]

"I suppose, compared to a Goldwing, the Indian V-twin feels more like a vibrator?"

[@hitmax-l5m]

Yeah, what about vibrations?

[@DrDiff952]

The persuit is Premium fuel only. The Goldwing is regular unleaded.

[@tonycamino]

GW IS 👑

[@patriotone755]

GW all day long coast to coast.

[@boths6ify]

Does anyone make a decision between these 2 bikes based on miles spent with the other half? I don't see much in the way of Passenger comfort referred to when these two are compared. Wife hates the experience on the Road King with that small passenger seat and she has occasional back issues that flare once in a while. I've heard poor passenger experiences with the Gold Wing,.... Even with a R.D.L. seat swap, the back support isn't as robust. Anyone have any thoughts. Thanks in Advance :)

[@ZoePaschalis]

I have been riding for over 4t years and had multiple bikes goldwing bmw k1600gtl r1200rt suzuki 1150 yamaha 650 turbo v rod k1200lt and a few smaller bikes now I ride a ultra limited 2016 one of the best bikes I have riden. I have 65k on it so far and never used the 7 year warranty I had with the bike . Ride what puts a smile on your face.

[@pureblood2020]

Rode them both. The wing is the clear winner. 41,000 miles and counting on the wing.

[@yoshit9819]

The Goldwing is the king of the highway. Bottom line

[@StevenZerwas]

Not so much anymore. I used to own several Wings, last one was the 2018 Tour DCT Airbag. I now own a 2023 Indian Pursuit. The Pursuit handles better, is just as smooth and has top loading and larger saddlebags, more customizable TFT screen. My choice; Indian Pursuit.

[@humbleplumbersadventures4602]

Persuit is a dang nice bike but also more money

[@Tinfoilhat311]

I have a 6 speed wing with the ecm flashed. I have yet to meet any v- twin that can keep up with me.

[@Johnrider1234]

Indian road master dark house

[@Truth...]

As for looks, the Indian still looks like a motorcycle while tbe Honda looks like a speedboat...bikes traditionally do not wear radiators and radios, so neither is for me

[@roadglide]

DCT or Paddle shift. In Sport mode and off the line it’s catch up for the Indian. Just hard to out-shift a DCT. Indian has a place though. Nice we have great choices.

[@AyaWetts]

when talking engine and fuel... should have mentioned the Goldwing can run normal gas, where the Pursuit needs higher octane and calls for premium gas

[@chiefjoseph8154]

I own the 21 Challenger limited. I tried the GW w/ dct. I chose the Challenger. Sometimes I have buyers remorse.

[@jag1963]

I own them both and the pursuit is better. I trust the reliablility of the Goldwing more but the pursuit has a Better Seat, Better handling, Way better electronics, Better front brakes. Better ABS being a 6 axis cornering ABS. Better suspension, I've bottomed out my Goldwing on the front forks more than once. And the pursuits rear Fox shock is way better. Better storage up front with 4 boxes for nic nacks 2 of which are huge. The Goldwing bests the Pursuit in the following. It comes with centerstand and reverse. It uses 87 Octane fuel I put premium in the pursuit as it has a higher compression ratio. The Goldwing Tour without airbag is slightly cheaper than the pursuit and comes with 3 years standard warrentee beating indians two year. DCT on the Goldwing is nice but removes a little of the fun of riding it. Useful in traffic and the city though.

"I suppose, compared to a Goldwing, the Indian V-twin feels more like a vibrator?"

[@fidelcatsro6948]

Goldwing engine is a marvel of engineering using 6 cats to turn the wheels...Pursuit is a simple engine that says you only need 2cats to do the job!

[@harryhowell5644]

Not much of a comparison. Just specs

[@SirBeck0621]

All comparison zero contrast

[@hitmax-l5m]

What about cruise control?

[@joseprado3492]

I'll take both of them, I love indian,and the goldwin is a beautiful bike.

[@MehmetAliAVCI-sz4cx]

new goldwings are big scooters. if you are looking for some character then indian is the right one.

[@SirBeck0621]

Goldwing is a classic king of the road. Unfortunately newer goldwings are really pushing the definition of what a motorcycle is.

[@adrespostbus201]

"I suppose, compared to a Goldwing, the Indian V-twin feels more like a vibrator?"

[@MiketheNerdRanger]

I fell in love with the Goldwing, which then led me to the Pursuit. I think the Goldwing is objectively better, but something about the Pursuit just draws me in a way the GW doesn't.

[@frankward8003]

Just a fluff video that glosses over everything..for example it mentions that the Indian has Apple Car Play but fails to mention that the Gold Wing has Android Auto and Apple Car Play..mentions both have nearly the same power and torque, but Honda's flat 6 makes max torque at 1200 rpms and holds it til it falls off at 5500 rpms...low rpm torque is what is importantwith a touring machine...both nice machines, but the Gold Wing is the top touring machine in my book.

[@philippep5924]

Goldwing 1800 DCT vraiment la meilleure 👍

[@serviam7]

GW with reverse, thats it. 👑

[@josephconaughty4760]

I thought each bikes description was vague and neutral. It felt like a commercial for each bike, which didn’t want to offend the other.

[@davidascroft9888]

now do a comparison of the Great Wall Motor Company's Souo S2000GL boxer 8 cylinder 2000cc bike. No rush - I'll wait.

[@donmunroe8148]

Quite possibly one of the worst reviews I’ve ever forced myself to watch

[@matt51402]

Who holds the best value?

[@JoeFurtado-xv5no]

Both bikes are great at what they’re designed to do it all comes down to personal preference. I’d go with the Indian myself

[@almohandskhaild]

Goldwing will not feel any heat between your legs you will not pay too much money for spare parts the service it’s very cheap around $60 for change oil and filter

[@migueljonz3901]

G-dub, so good I bought two!

[@joeln6861]

GW and if you look at the MSRP (in USA) it is 6K less. That is a lot of cash less for the better motorcycle (as long as you aren't dying for the HD looks of the Indian), but that 6K is a lot to pay for the looks. And let's not forget no reverse gear for the Indian on this big beast.

[@chriscline2652]

Nothing I mean Nothing Beats A Goldwing.

[@Yvonnemorgan2020]

Hi❤🎉

[@impossibledrms]

This is "murica" and yet dimension we're mostly metric. Don't know what the metric/ murican equivalents are.

[@artwallace5925]

Goldwing engine is NOT a Boxer but instead a flat 6!

[@DrDiff952]

An opposed flat design is a boxer

[@georgeyekich697]

My second Wing is 21 tour last one an 05 the best bike out there in my opinion

[@BigBadAllis]

This is painful to watch. Your facts and history are off. I think this is mostly AI junk.

[@texashonda7]

This is nothing more than a show room comparison and not a real side by side review. How does it feel to ride each of them, time for a typical pass from 30 mph - 70 MPH on each? IP requires premium fuel and the GW uses regular fuel so what is the cost difference per 100 miles? Difficulty in parking and backing out, or pushing each bike by hand? Time, cost and difficulty to do your own 8000 mile service? Someone needs to do a real review.

[@lawnranger3432]

Tried the rest, stick with the best,...Goldwing!

[@mafosa8519]

just wish GW would have a better upper fairing.

[@nalendraalif1116]

The pursuit is more comparable to gold wing than road glide

[@GoodGuysCarry]

Millimeters? Liters? There are probably a few Americans who know what distance and volume you’re talking about… I guess

[@oldgriff8559]

For looks alone it would have to be the Goldwing…that Indians fairing is so bulbous..

[@travelinben1966]

Nothing compares to a wing.Nothing.#️⃣1️⃣

[@Myrune1]

As compared to ........ Whatever that item is, you need that. Everything in the touring world is compared to the Goldwing, so that's what I have. My spare bike is a K1600GTL. The K bike is faster than the Goldwing....and that's the only arena where the Goldwing is beat. The Goldwing goes on all the long tours or if I have my wife along or if I'm pulling our camper. So, Goldwing!

[@rickallen848]

I have both as well. The K also corners better, but cornering puts a lot of stress on the K's smaller front tire. Its the only bike that I have worn out the front tire (side walls) before the rear.

[@Myrune1]

@@rickallen848 I do a lot of course work so I'm always wearing out front tires.

[@christianrabe7984]

low center of gravity, handling balance and smoothness of the GW has no match

[@Roll_with_R.C.]

Disappointing AI video. Love my Pursuit and would love to see an actual comparison to a GW. Pursuit ride position is better for me and doesn’t feel cramped. Layout of the tech is seamless and not a fan of all the GW buttons. Honda has the best quality, but lacks any character. It’s all personal preference. Both are great looking and performing touring bikes.

[@ejseda6546]

Goldwing!!!

[@susiloe.mahesworo7036]

I prefer Honda Goldwing than Indian HD.

[@operator0]

You need to hire a native English speaker to write these scripts if you intend on appealing to an English speaking audience. This is virtually unwatchable.

[@andygeorge6065]

I dream of Pursuit with DCT...

[@zalacainbilbao]

This guy uses 50 words where 5 will do.

[@davidedwards5773]

This has to be the poorest attempt at a comparison of these bikes, failure if you will. Go ahead and mention Apple Auto Car Play for the Indian but not the Goldwing even though the Goldwing sports both Apple Car Play and Android Auto. How's about fuel? Goldwing uses regular 87 yet the Indian has to tank up on premium fuel. Many more slights to both bikes. Anybody can do a review like this by picking and choosing from a manufacturer's specification sheet.

[@davelubeck9683]

The Indian Looks more like a Harley ! For me To Classic i Dont like . I Like the Honda Goldwing

[@leohughes6921]

what is this AI chat written video.

[@4940markhutchins]

This robovoice spec comparison with marketing photos made my skin crawl. Unwatchable click bait and I fell for the first 5 minutes of it.

[@lonniecross4698]

I can’t watch these AI generated videos all the way through.

[@bluespirit164]

The Indian logo looks like a red Indian person....!

[@Notimetoplaywu]

Out of a job yet ? Keep buying foreign .

[@darkMoon202]

Gold wing is only big scooter but Indian pursuit is real motorcycle.

[@renzoktb767]

Gold Wing the King!
