$500 vs $50,000 Motorcycle

Thanks to Continental Tire for sponsoring today’s video! Click here bit.ly/3Ztb5Nf to learn more about the ExtremeContact DWS06+ tire.
We bought a $500 motorcycle and compared it to a brand new $50,000 Harley-Davidson to see if it's really worth 100x the price.

I have owned several new Gold Wings in the 80s and 90s. I currently own the CVO Road Glide in Whiskey Neat. I agree with y’all’s assessment of the two bikes overall. With 2 ½ million miles behind me, I feel a touch qualified to make a judgement. 1. The HD suspension absolutely sucks - that’s why many owners are replacing it with far superior aftermarket brands. 2. The price of the HD is astronomical - everything with the Bar & Shield emblem is jacked up too high, 3. The accouterments are a definite plus on the RG. Only a few things to aggravate the owner: a. The saddle is a dud. I replaced mine with a custom rebuild which gave me copious amounts of joy, b. Electronics challenges (constant code alerts), c. All handlebar switches were swapped between left and right (takes a while to relearn), d. Nothing from the past Road Glides fit this new one. e. The four Wings that I owned and rode for over 300K, NEVER had a wrench turned on them, f. Among the twenty-two HDs that I had, EVERY ONE except two had maintenance issues ranging from drive belts to blown engines!! All of that being said, I’ll still keep my HD! THX for an informative and funny comparison video.

[@kevinfranklin3155]

Curious as to why you'd keep the Harley. From everything you listed, it sounds terrible! What are some reasons to love it?

[@danteinouye6098]

@@kevinfranklin3155 I get why he loves his harley; 'cuz theyre cool I have a GL1500 like in this video, and an HD Electra Glide (among others), and I wouldn't give up either of them. The GL is great for just jumping on and taking a ride. Besides the rubber timing belts that need to be done every 75k ish/5 years, it's literally the most reliable vehicle in my garage. 170k on it and counting. the EG on the other hand has had constant oil leak issues and it's been through two sets of timing tensioners, one of which blew an engine (it's a pre 2007 twin-cam, so this is a well known issue). I could go on with issues with the Harley for days, but that's not the point. The point is the Harley is cool :) It sounds like a stereotypical motorcycle going down the road, it's painted bright colors and has flames on the fuel tank, it's loud, brash, and has tons of chrome. It's so much more fun to walk out to than my goldwing. Think about driving a modern Lexus IS-350/500 versus a 1969 Coronet 440. The Lexus is more reliable, functional, and probably quicker to 60 than the coronet, but the coronet is 10,000x more interesting. Some specifics that are fun on the harley; The pegs are way out front, so it feels like you're leaning back. Not optimal for around town or through a mountain pass, but fun on the freeway and looks cool The handlebars are way up high, and the seat is down close to the ground, so you gotta reach up a little more than most bikes, giving it a different feel It has a suuper old style dash and handlebars. The Goldwing's bars are covered in plastic, while the harley has big chrome bars and big chrome dials. It just adds to the old muscle car feel. Iunno, that's basically what a harley is. Rolling americana, it's awesome :D As a side note, the Goldwing is literally the second most boring bike I've had. It has damn nearly no character, which is both a blessing and a curse. It's a blessing because i can't list a single thing it does badly. It's a curse because it makes the bike itself EXTREMELY boring. It's a bike you ride to get somewhere and not focus on the bike. "I'm taking a ride today" versus "I'm taking the harley out today." The GL, the ride is the adventure, the Harley (and most other bikes), the bike is the adventure.

Sonny Barger once said he hated the rule about having to own a Harley as a Hells Angel because he later grew to love the bikes that were coming out of Japan, and other parts of the world.

Not to mention Japan had been the enemy in the war.

Through the touring Package on that cvo, and you're ready to do an ironbut.

But I've never bought a brand new cvo Road Glide ,and probably never will. The older twin cam bike's is what I deal with, but eventually I'll have to work on those Milwaukie 8's if I am going to stay competitive with other used harley-davidson shops around the area.

I bought a 89 Goldwing when i was 19 years old. To this day one of my favorite bikes. I have had 16 motorcycles from sport bikes to naked bikes to duel sports ect. My last bike was my favorite 2020 Yamaha MT09. But that old ass goldwing is my 2nd favorite bike. It had 100k miles when i bought it. I literally would get friends to sit on the back and we could do a wheelie. If nobody was on the back it would do a rolling burnout. Bike was only a beast for its size and age. I drove tf out of it for a little over a year. Nothing ever broke on the bike it was fantastic to drive.

[@chaseychaseum5366]

I traded my 2020 Road Glide Limited for a 2018 Goldwing Tour DCT and have never been happier. The HD was like straddling a slow, heavy oven. Too hot to enjoy beyond 60 degrees. The Goldwing is all day easy and comfortable to ride and will run circles around the heavy American. I noticed you weren't able to put the Harley in reverse... Also, I had to spend an extra $1,200 for the HD heated seat, which in retrospect wasn't needed thanks to the rear cylinder crotch cooking feature it comes with.

[@neruwu]

Yes I love it!

[@mikewazowzki8759]

Just want to say the editors for Donut are killing it. big respect

[@GrandadmiralSeewolf]

I had a toy of a Green Goldwing... loved it... still think the Goldwing looks just sick !

[@kevinmiller4312]

I’d love to see y’all’s take on a newer Goldwing vs a Harley. The newer wings are apparently even better than the GL1500. And I mean newer as in any GL1800 so about 2002 and up 😂😂😂

[@TheCallMeCrazy]

Keep in mind there are three generations named GL1800 now! The '02-'09 got refreshed heavily for '10-17 and the 2018+ model shares basically nothing with the previous generations. I'd like to see the current bagger 'wing vs this Harley for sure.

[@kevinmiller4312]

@@TheCallMeCrazy that’s exactly what I’m saying. And any of them would probably be better than the CVO. Of course I’d love to see a flagship 2023 go head to head with the Harley but I bet that a sub $10k 2010 would be a good comparison too

[@Dergg]

My dad has a new Goldwing. Thing's a beast. Shape is still similar, has plenty of power and torque, comfy and, yes, still has reverse. The bike weighs a LOT, so the reverse is there to help you move it. Would recommend.

[@baddaddybrady2]

Nutz to butts on The Harley!!! Fitting!

[@motociclettando]

And you didn't mention that the GW has an onboard compressor to load and unload the rear air suspension (and consequently its height from the ground). If, before the curves, you load it some more that thing will be far better to ride. Then, when the highway begins again, unload a little and gain comfort. The front suspension hardens itself when you're braking. Pretty cool for a thing from like 30 years ago, isn't it?😉😎 Edit: that onboard compressor can be used also to inflate the tires

[@leviminton3320]

I love the motorcycle content. Please keep it going. Jerry and Nolan are one of my favorites to watch on KZbin but I find myself watching other channels with motorcycle content instead. As that other guy said a moneypit series on it would be awesome and probably significantly cheaper than a car as well. I feel like Nolan would do very good up to speeds on them as well and there’s quite a few he could make. Or even more history focused would would be cool. Either way more motorcycles please.

[@motoroam71]

That GoldWing cannot cost 500$ that's crazy, but stilll it will beat Harley by comfort even in the worst condition possible...

[@BikerBabeBeth]

Hell yes! That’d be awesome 😂

[@jacenharding2674]

It’s so hard to find anything in that good of shape now, even though it’s a gold wing it’s still a running bike

[@Ronracer]

Got mines for 500 off Craigslist 😉

[@um_fu1326]

I’ve seen gold wings go as low as $250 and as high as 5 grand they normally don’t sell for 5 but they are listed

[@Ronracer]

@um_fu1326 I actually bought 2. One is just a nonrunning donor I got for 350. But I have seen a few going in the thousands. Honestly if I had the money to burn I'd buy one. It's a pain restoring these things 😅

[@reneantunez1998]

Definitely more content like this... do like cheap vs expensive side by side single rider and trade while riding after liek each fill up or something

[@mattblair613]

Love it! You should do a video on the best bang for your buck bike, somewhere in the middle

[@MAKOS-ky5my]

i can hear the goldwing prices increasing

[@tydontdy3459]

Who else thinks the Goldwing deserves some upgrades? 0% sureprised its Jeremiah bringing the motorcycle content lol.

[@tbrowniscool]

That Goldwing looked like the better bike in real riding! Love 1980s/1990s Jap engineering.

[@SurleyBlaine]

Here in Canada I did a quick look. Depending on the year, condition, extras, $1000 - $2500 on 80's bikes. Newest 2022 one starts at $32,000.

[@rodrigo76387]

The “This feels like we both wanted a Harley but none of us could afford one” got me 😂

[@prawnstar9213]

I had 6 different sidewall blowouts that rendered the tire destroyed using dws-06s on my Audi S3 with 19 inch rims. Each happened after hitting a potholes of all sizes which come after a hard winter. The tire is great for 18in rims and below but cannot handle bumps in anything over that size. Just wanted to out that warning out there. Never had a worse tire.

[@joesaysstuff5802]

This was one of the best Donut videos lately. I laughed really hard

[@davidrochow9382]

Living in Australia the most amazing part of this episode for me was getting a Goldwing of any age for $500.

[@davidbrayshaw3529]

Yes, It's about a $10,000 bike here and the Harley's around the $70,000 mark.

[@GTSW1FT]

Yeah they're definitely 5 to 10k for a older one in poor condision

[@rainrainwebdesign]

about 5k-8k in ireland

[@kaplonek]

Here in the EU, I haven't seen one in good condition for less than 4k

[@zarmaanful]

Pakistan here, the most you could get for 500$ is a 150CC motorcycle, A Suzuki GS150. I would sell my 150 in a heartbeat if someone offered me a Goldwing for 500$.

[@michelleshaw337]

BTW - the Honda flat-6 engine also appears in their Valkyrie bikes - which are less "rolling easy chair" bikes than the GoldWings. (I love both, but the earlier Valkyrie models (90s-ish) are pretty amazing looking bikes.

[@oleeejek]

More motorcycles content please. That was fun

[@kylebullock5877]

PLEASE more motorcycle content! The first video I watched on donut media was a motorcycle one. I ended up sticking around for the hilarious car content, but I'm a rider at heart and seeing these vids always brings a smile to my face!

[@selstromi]

Should’ve gotten a touring pack for Zach! It makes the ride for the passenger so much better

[@adriandaw3451]

50k and have to buy more for the pilloion. That seems so HD

[@cwadlow]

@@adriandaw3451I think the commenter means get a more comparable bike to the Goldwing… such as a Road Glide. Not add on more stuff to the HD in the video lol

[@woody4u247]

Having owned many bikes... Including a 2003 Goldwing 1800, 2007 Harley Ultra classic & 2016 Harley CVO Limited Roadglide Ultra... I can easily say the Goldwing was leaps & bounds nicer to ride. I've literally ridden across the United States on it.... The Harley only has the biker comradery of it being a Harley.... The Chrome, The patented sound... It's just nostalgia.. But The Goldwing is such a nicer bike on multiple levels... BTW, there's a HUGE performance upgrade in the 1800cc goldwings vs this older 1500cc

[@erikvaughan4609]

[@user-bu2en3cl6s]

I ride a '99 Goldwing. My friend has a new street glide that is highly modified. I just got back from a short-ish 850 mile, three day (two days riding) trip...by myself because his bike's clutches have "lost their grasp". At last count, he had about $70,000 "invested". I have about $3800($400 of that in accessories) in mine. There are those who like telling folks how much they paid for something and those who prefer telling folks how LITTLE we paid for something...
