Honda Gold Wing in SPORT MODE [RAW Onboard]

[@Schaaf]

One more from last year's birthday ride :) Make sure to leave me a comment (a comment, not a reply to this comment here) telling me which country you would like to cross on a Gold Wing. I choose Croatia. This bike should offer enough space for towel and swim trunks I suppose.

[@lupurednic8624]

I dont care I will say here , I would like to cross Norway :)

[@SuperiorNo1]

Location?

[@riceburnerbiker1483]

Europe and UK island..through the ALPS in summer. Drive all day till you ache... Then stop at a place with not expensive night to sleep and GERMAN BEER for the aches and a good night sleep. Get up eat breakfast and ride all day again.🤔😊

I often just put this on loop in the background while I'm working. The engine purr and wind are so soothing together, and the lack of any extra narration or intro or anything basically makes this a meditation soundscape for gearheads.

The fact that you can ride like that in complete comfort has to be the highlight of the Goldwing.

complete comfort yes BUT as far as the road is smooth, due to short suspension travel, the motorcycle is not well suited for rough/bumpy tarmac, for those roads, motorcycles like r1250gs or africa twin with their bigger diamater wheels and most importantly long suspension travel are much more well suited

[@Schaaf]

Lol

[@gravesclayton3604]

Guys, if you watch what Schaff is doing, and likewise listen, his throttle actions are perfectly matched to what can be seen of the upcoming road that is visible in the distance. That is staying ahead of the machine and not letting the machine get ahead of you! Over-aggressive riders will push the throttle past what is in their line of sight, hoping they can either brake without losing traction, or that the unseen curve will open up to their advantage. The bike may sound aggressive, and it definitely sounds hearty, but Schaff is driving well within the cautious and conservative range. Try dragging the pegs on my '81 Goldwing (10" high when level), and you definitely will know the meaning of "hard cornering", lol! I am always amazed at the light handling that Honda has managed to build into the Goldwing with every generation! Correct me if I'm wrong, but I felt you had the urge to pass that trailer at 6:36, and decided to hold back.....and just 30 seconds later I knew you were itching to make that pass.........looks like it was a good decision, lol! Thanks for the excellent demo ride Schaff!

[@Schaaf]

Thanks for the great comment :)

[@jackandblaze5956]

Nice to see the new ones still sound great. It sounds almost exactly like my 40 year-old wing that still has stock exhausts. I might need to upgrade though, I recently got smoked by liter sport bikes a couple of times. Was ahead until about 85 mph, but then they got by. After 150k miles, it's starting to feel a little weak. It doesn't pull quite as hard as it used to and feels wobbly over 80 in the curves.

Depends maybe it didn't get slower because of high miles. Maybe it just feels slower compared to some sport bikes.

Your four cylinder wing sounds nothing like that new six cylinder.Sorry.

[@jackandblaze5956]

@@joycecottingham9432 Well, yes and no. Below 6000 RPMs with stock exhaust in good condition, the 4 cylinder Goldwings sound similar... as smooth as a sewing machine, and beefy. There is no other bike that sounds like that besides a six cylinder Goldwing (maybe you've never heard a GL1100 with stock exhaust). The main difference is the redline on the GL1000 was 8500 rpm and 8000 on the GL1100. Above 6000 rpm, the GL1100 wakes up and pulls hard to at least 8200, unless it has the big carbs for 1982, then they pull strong up to 8500. There is no fuel or ignition cutoff. Your 1800 definitely doesn't sound better at 8000 rpm, because it will never see 8000 rpm. Your redline is 6k and your fuel cutoff is around 6200. You could reprogram the computer, swap out the fuel injection for six carbs, and change the cam profile to get to 8k, but then it wouldn't sound stock anymore. And if you think your 1800 is significantly quicker than an 1100, bear in mind that the standard GL1100 weighs 595 lbs, 200 lbs less than a 2023 Goldwing. Your 2023 GL1800 has a higher top speed, 140 mph vs 128 for the old dog, but the quarter mile is similar, the GL1100 being 12.47 seconds @ 107.39 and 0-60 mph in 4.2 sec. The 2023 Wing does 0-60 in 3.9 but it needs premium fuel, the old dog does not. I hope to get a GL1800 at some point but I'll keep the old ones around just for the nostalgia.

When I read sport mode I was expecting an instantaneous 'chrchrchrchrchrchrchrchrchrchrchr" sound in the first corner. You are getting 😞 old? Soft? ... ah responsible is the word. 😂. ... aaand as I am writing this, I just heard it. 😁 Nice riding as always. 👍

For a big bike that thing can move. Looks like you can throw her around fairly easy. Beauty of a bike. Thank you for not putting music on just raw engine sound. Oh she sounds great

Thanks George

Can u camera the bike 1st, and start the engine and ride? 😎

[@Schaaf]

Nah, sounds like work and I'm trying to do this for fun. Thanks for the feedback though

[@the_mad_ratter]

@mm 2417 nah, the right answer. Don't turn your hobbies into your job, they stop being your hobbies and you lose interest in them.

Finally, someone riding a 'Wing properly. I remember the original GL1000. They were first promoted/sold as sports machines. Yes I'm that old, lol

[@dupajasiu920]

Honestly, this is how this motorcycle should be ridden, I think. Goldwing desrves a rider, who can utilize the power, suspension and stability. Great video. Btw, I admire fantastic corner judgement. In one tight corner you knew the peg will limit and slowed down right on time. Hearing the pegs scratching all the time one could say, why the hell they are not a bit higher and let the bike go faster...

[@Schaaf]

Thanks Dupa

That’s funny you say that. I had a V6 Accord and I just bought a Goldwing. I was telling my dad how it sounded like my old car only I was sitting on the engine!

Hahaha awesome

What's the lean angle?

[@ConservativeCalifornian1032]

You probably dont notice this but when a goldwing takes off, it sounds like a plane or spaceship. You cant really tell when youre riding but if you stand behind one while it takes off, you’ll hear the power and its truly breathtaking.

[@Schaaf]

It definitely does
