2025 Goldwing my thoughts

[@joshuastevens6029]

Just like the Ridgeline, which has a waiting list every year......same simple design with incredible reliability and a smooth ride.

[@Broncoride]

I really enjoyed riding your bike in KY. Very surprised on the acceleration and how smooth it was. Probably right on no major changes for the 25.

[@BlackBirdieGolf]

New nav and heated seat on the bagger. They might upgrade the lights also but i'm guessing those three things are a winner for me

[@WunKoolKat]

I had a 2015 Gold Wing and the only thing I didn’t like about it was the impossible air filter change. Did they change that or does it still take 2-3 hours to complete? It would be nice if they engineered a trap door slip-in system.

[@Petesmotoadventure]

@@WunKoolKat the air filter is still buried under all the plastic. I find the 2018 worse than my 2007 model to get to.

[@nctexan1970]

I only want more colors! In my dreams they incorporate adaptive cruise control but Honda have already said they will not add that for a awhile.

[@Petesmotoadventure]

@@nctexan1970 color options would be nice.

[@BoDean52]

You deserve a new one and your bike is a beauty as is!

[@stevenwright6573]

I would love to see the motor get pumped to 150 hp and the gages to go full tft display. That would be a nice tweak for the 50th anniversary. You're probably right though, paint and badging lol.

[@Petesmotoadventure]

@@stevenwright6573 I think we will see a full digital dash before 150hp lol.

[@painsrides]

I predict the 2025 Goldwing will be upgraded with badging and pinstripes.

[@Petesmotoadventure]

@@painsrides yep. Honda isn’t known for their upgrades.

[@nelsonphilip4520]

@@painsrides This seems to be the consensus on many GL vlogs. So who could blame Honda only doing paint & tape job!

[@painsrides]

@@nelsonphilip4520 Honda don't play dat' .... 🤣 The Goldwing has passed many anniversaries and never got a "redesign" because of them. Why should the 25th be any different? Honda has barely gotten warmed up on the Gen 6 Wings...

[@ANONYMOUSBIKERUSA]

I think they will make it look like a Harley 😊😂. dash be nice, heat issue in bags, more Torque 😂. thanks for the mention sir! The funny stuff pipe 🎉.

[@Petesmotoadventure]

@@ANONYMOUSBIKERUSA lol. More power is always nice.

[@RoadReality]

I think they're gonna go v-twin :D Liquid-cooled, 150hp/200tq, full digital dash, rider modes, heated everything, adjustable everything, active suspension, adaptive cruise control, 300-mile range, bigger bags, and lighter weight. Oh wait, that's MY wish list for a new bike! :D

[@Petesmotoadventure]

lol. Well that’s a small request

[@RoadReality]

@@Petesmotoadventure Nothing the Big H can't do :D

[@MotoMengy]

I think they might have a special color for 2025 and the anniversary, maybe? I'm not expecting Honda to make any big changes or a big deal about it.

[@Petesmotoadventure]

@@MotoMengy yep.

[@paineys3341]

It will be interesting to see if they try and keep up with HD regarding the dash and storage but also match the price. When HD brought out the Street and Road Glides they actually lowered the price by about $4k but offered a much better bike than the previous versions....Could/would Honda do that?

[@Petesmotoadventure]

The non tour Goldwing starts around 24k. Basically HD stripped the bikes down to bare bones and will let you build it out the way you want. I do agree 100% the new RG/SG is much better base than previous years. It would be nice to see a price drop but I don’t see it happening.

[@paineys3341]

@@Petesmotoadventure not sure about the bare bone description, with the new dash, engine modes, engine, suspension upgrade, plus HD beats the Gold Wing in storage all day long

[@Petesmotoadventure]

@@paineys3341 I guess base model would work better.

[@RyanCorsaut]

@@paineys3341 I definitely don’t ride or buy a bike based on storage. Just me though.

[@KrakensGarageandAdventures]

I think it will be a great variant of the GW. At least I'm hoping...

[@Petesmotoadventure]

@@KrakensGarageandAdventures I’m not holding my breath lol. Honda is not known for doing much

[@GEN084]

I think they will change the body style but everything will be the same.. possibly up the hp a lil

[@Petesmotoadventure]

@@GEN084 they could remap the ecm to boost it a bit.

[@AggieAlum2000]

Airbags in all trims please!!!!

[@northbysoutheast5439]

I’ve heard good things about the 2025 model 👍

[@Petesmotoadventure]

@@northbysoutheast5439 we will see.

[@nelsonphilip4520]

It's all about return on investment and paint & tape changes are the least expensive changes Honda could make without much concern for going "underwater". It's noteworthy that you mentioned the ready supply of 2024 models at the dealer's showroom. Also you seemed to be somewhat "sticker shocked"! So with these market conditions, and since any model changes cost money, why would anybody expect anything other then paint & tape changes?

[@Petesmotoadventure]

I guess I’m shocked because I paid 24 out the door in 2018 for a brand new bike. We seem to understand the economics behind the decisions Honda makes. Will be interesting to see what happens.

[@BlackBirdieGolf]

the matte green didn't go over well. a lot of. the bagger 2024s are for sale. you can hardly find a 2023 because the color was nice

[@HarleyDayRider]

I am sure they will add an entire digital dashboard next year. I think they want to keep up with everyone else. I also feel Indians will do the same. You're right. You have the video dialed in very nicely. Ride Safe

[@Petesmotoadventure]

We can dream. Still won’t trade my 2018 though. It’s paid for.

[@Motoramblings]

Larger bags, and more passenger room!

[@Petesmotoadventure]

Yes.

[@Motoramblings]

Wait, I have no topics! My videos are lame??? Wait, I know the answer…😂

[@Petesmotoadventure]

You got topics. Every video is a story.

[@Motoramblings]

@@Petesmotoadventure Ah, thanks Pete!

[@RoadReality]

Pete lies! Your videos ARE lame! :D I kid, I kid... you're always telling a story. At least you stopped mentioning retirement so much ;)

[@Motoramblings]

The prices are up, and I’m needing to buy…. Ugh

[@Petesmotoadventure]

Yeah. It’s a bummer.

[@Motoramblings]

@@Petesmotoadventure yup

[@BernhardtNyp-ch5fn]

Bigger tank and 2000cc.

[@motorider4130]

Just another price increase. Keeping my 2018 till it falls apart. 😂

[@Petesmotoadventure]

Same.

[@ThisAndThat-l4p]

Honda GW has the worst, unexcited color choices of any modern touring bike available. Dealers are packed with that Fugly Green that they cannot get rid off. This bike needs Active Cruise and Blind Spot Detection for sure.

[@Petesmotoadventure]

@@ThisAndThat-l4p color choices are lacking for sure.

[@zedacruja681]

I no what there going to do with 2025 golwing ......all that plastic in front of you going to be Titanium and so we can leave the IPHONE 16 LOCKED Because there going to be put a lock on that LOL

@@Broncoride your bike was also a blast. Stage 14 kit.
