Honda Goldwing Killer? | GWM Souo S2000 GL Has Arrived

[@heep34987yt]

I can do without that ‘Harbor Freight’ version of a Goldwing. 😂

[@Tom-h3s4x]

I OWN a Goldwing...an old one... WITH a few miles. And I'm not stupid enough to be so dismissive of this bike.

[@Bored2Deaf]

Open your eyes mate. Times are changing. Also remember that at one time people considered goldwings the harbor freight editions of American bikes.

[@dinbosco9658]

You are insulting Harbor Freight. The name of the company (wouuuuhuhuu) s the sound you will make when your balls are toast by the exploding engine between your legs. RevelatorAlf is wasting everyone's time

[@jamesberry276]

Not really! I remember when the 1975 GL1000 was introduced. Honda had a big market share with many models of different sizes in the US. The honda street bike sales brochure had all the models pictured from top to bottom with the new flagship goldwing at the bottom. Your very wrong in that the bike was very well received! It was its own bike and no threat to anything else. Even had a funky emergency sideways kick start arm. Some say the same B.S. about the Japanese cars as well; Truth is the Japanese cars actually Were garbage before they were refined later and took off when gas prices climbed. ​@user-yr1gl3vy7p

Japanese bikes were once called Jap Crap.

[@mikebell2750]

I am a Harley guy, but it’s common knowledge that the Goldwing is the gold standard of touring bikes. This bike has an uphill battle trying to get anyone who rides a “wing” to even consider it. But I have to admit that I am curious about what this bike sounds like, as a “flat eight” is a pretty uncommon engine configuration.

[@r.williamcomm7693]

I did a Google search “gwm sou gl2000” in the first article that came up was by a site called New Atlas. It’s a straightforward review pointing out that while the engine looks impressive it’s low in horsepower with a 6k redline. While I admire Gold Wings the rubber mounted Harleys have a “soul.” I think this GWM bike it’s going to have to be very inexpensive to get people to take a chance on it

[@davidbell3169]

The Goldwings already have a proven track record. This new bike has nothing yet. I wouldn’t want to be one of the first ones to own it.

[@openureyes]

Absolutely

[@12masterr]

Look like a star venture with a goldwing engine!

[@nelsonphilip4520]

Ditto! That Venture was a well styled & engineered Luxo Tourer but only lasted a scant 4 years! Hard to envision this laviathan having any success in this market.

[@12masterr]

@nelsonphilip4520 I test drove tjat yamaha, and even when the engine was good, it was super heavy. The pegs touch the road at the slightest inclination, and the turbulence in my helmet was horrible.

[@squidduck]

You’re not wrong…

[@ericperry72]

​@@nelsonphilip4520venture/eluder issue was the heat from the engine. Other than that it was a killer bike.

[@gregdcross]

For American riders that want a full dress tourer and want a Gold Wing type bike, they are going to buy a Gold Wing. Why? A history of innovation and quality build. There is also a dealer network for maintenance. This new Chinese bike has none of that.

[@Phuc_Socialist_You_Tube]

There was once a Cadre of aspiring Electraglide owners who bought Goldwings. Primarily because they were cheaper. History didn't even remotely figure into the equation back then because large bore Japanese bikes were a new idea. One thing is for certain. History has a way of repeating itself.

[@pedroreprezas]

I purchased my first GWM Pick Up over 10 years ago, I'm on my third vehicle bought brand new at this point from the brand. Unfortunately as some would say the Chinese value for money is unbeatable, we've had to learn that lesson in South Africa it's the reality, as for motorcycles I'm sure they'll commit to the same principles and eventually begin selling them like hot cakes, just as their motor vehicles have in the past it's only a matter of time. I own a Honda VFR800 6th Gen, my dream bike but if opportunity allowed I wouldn't hesitate to purchase one.

Some people pay a premium for Harley, just because it’s Harley and some people just don’t get that and will happily ride other ‘lesser’ cruisers. Goldwing doesn’t have much competition so I’d expect there will be plenty who would give this bike a go if the price is competitive. Personally I think it looks gorgeous, like a wing on steroids. But.. Honda is so reliable that there are plenty of their tourers around for cheap. I’ll be sticking to my ‘86 GL1200

I own an older Goldwing and this S 2000 is a nice looking bike ... or at least someone has taken nice looking photos. Before this company becomes a player in the American market, they will have to prove successful in other markets. I am old enough to remember when Toyotas were disposable cars and today they are an automotive leader. Is there room for another touring motorcycle? Of course there is and maybe this will be it. We'll just have to wait and see.

You may be surprised to learn how many Chinese parts are actually on your motorcycles and you don't know it. It will be interesting to see the test rides reviews.

I remember all the negativity for the products that came out of Japan in the 60s-70s and we can see how wrong that ended. CFMOTO is is behind KTM and we see how well they are already doing in MOTOGP. Time will tell and pricing will be a good point as time goes on. will I sell my Kawasaki and my Harley any time soon for a China built motorcycle, NO, but I would add a 3rd bike to check one out.

[@joemann3536]

@SJ-oxy OF Course they or different cultures... just saying the future will tell and like the way folks used to claim Japanese bikes were no good (I know because my 2nd bike was a 1974 750k in 1974) & I was given many INSULTS, but the future begged different... and so will China's products. that was all I was commenting, sorry to have offended you if you are Japanese.

[@700clx2]

Thanks for a rational comment. Here in the US I'm closing in on 18k miles on my 2022 first model year worldwide CFMOTO 700 CL-X. It has/had a bug in the gear indicator sensors but they issued a complete redesign fix that will be installed next week. My local dealer , who just opened his 2nd dealership in a 20 mile radius, has been great to work with and so far they have replaced sensors, ECU, Wiring Harness, Throttle Assembly trying to sort it out. The Chinese crap story is indeed coming to an end as the larger companies are using quality components from JJuan/Brembo, KYB, Bosch, Continental, Pirelli, and it comes with cruise control, full LEDs, slipper clutch, 6 speed, dual ABS, self cancelling turn signals, and inverted forks with bug guards for less than $7000. In January, CFMOTO announced their new 51%-49% majority partnership with Yamaha to make and sell bikes in China. And, I know of at least three Harley Davidson dealers in New York and Connecticut that are selling CFMOTO motorcycles under the same roof!! In related news Tesla recalls another 150,000 vehicles.......... keep those odometers spinning!!!!

[@UncleWally3]

Kinda surprised, and disappointed, it isn’t a hybrid like Kawasaki’s Ninja 7 introduced October 6, 2023. Personally, the hybrid has no appeal to me in a smaller bike but in a behemoth touring bike it makes a lot of sense. Aside from a hybrid distinguishing itself in the marketplace, wouldn’t it check a lot of boxes for consumers looking for better fuel economy and performance?

[@Lupo-k7]

I like the look of that more than the Goldwing, not a lot more, but it's lines are a bit cleaner, and the handlebars look awesome. The Goldwing is my target ultimate bike and I currently ride a Chinese bike, but I don't know this particular company. The bike looks fine, it would be whether or not there are actual dealers to support it as well as aftermarket parts and accessories support. We will have to see by the time I am ready by that level of bike.

Is there much demand for large long distance touring motorcycles in China? I mean, there are over a billion people in China, and probably several hundred million who might have the income for a luxury toy like this.

[@ronnietan5509]

I ride a Cfmotor gt400. Tech wise is good. Quality wise, still have some years lacking behind the tested brands. Support wise poor even from dealer. Off market parts essentially none. Price wise cheaper then tested Brand but you get headaches from problems. There one person from the chat group had brought a brand new bike for 6 months but had 2 months in the workshop. Problems range from stator coil, auxiliary relay, over heating , co2 sensor, Low rpm chocking. These are problems for a brand imported for 3 years into the country. Future wise, better get a bike brand that is around for more then 10 years to prevent heartaches.

All depends on the price . If it's halfe or less than a wing it'll sell . Especially when it's s hand .

[@tsubadaikhan6332]

You have to remember used price is a percentage of New Sale Price. If the Used price is still 40% of New after 6 years, and the Real Goldwing is 50% of new after 6 years, but the GWM is significantly cheaper to start, you're still $$ ahead with the GWM. And GWM cars have market penetration here in Australia. There's an average of over ten GWM Dealerships in every State in Australia, and their Brands include GWM, Haval, Wey and Ora. The Haval is releasing a hybrid to rival the hybrid Rav4 soon. And currently the Haval in better spec is at least 10% cheaper than the Rav4 with more equipment levels, and its stylishness is great. And GWM offer a 7 year unlimited km warranty across the range. I'm not in the market for a Goldwing, but don't kid yourself. If you're planning on only keeping it for the 7 year warranty period, you will be saving thousands. And, apart from boomers, the economy sucks for all of us now. Those Dollars in lieu of a badge are valuable now. It does seem weird they've gone for the Goldwing now. If the Chinese bring out a 500 odd cc lightweight Adventure bike like the CF Moto 450MT, they'll own that market. And it's a lot bigger market than the Goldwing market.

[@Phuc_Socialist_You_Tube]

You don't have any idea of what the price, performance, or construction quality will be. You cannot possibly make an informed decision based on a picture. What if it only cost half or two thirds the price of a Honda? It may well be carried on Honda or Kawasaki showroom floors as those two companies are huge investors in Chineese manufacturing. That is why most Chinese motorcycles run copies of Kawasaki or Honda engine designs. The world isn't a stagnant marketplace. Even the big 4 Japanese motorcycle manufacturers cannot afford Japanese labor costs. Can you remember when Made in Japan= junk. I can. I can remember when the only "quality items coming out of Japan were cameras and transistor radios. Now, the big four make some of their motorcycles in Thailand and India. Never say never.

Goldwing made millions and have 50 years of practice and millions of data values for parts failing from dealerships which they improve over time. Virtually nothing form this Chinese new comer. The Chinese bike has likely better performance with a 4 valve head and slightly larger capacity, but moves more into the achilles heel of the Goldwing. And that is it's weight.
