My eyes 👀 ‼️ casual Friday! 😫 Every brand has issues and recalls. I never once thought you turned your back on Honda. Just the copper HD caught your eye. 😉

There’s some things people shouldn’t see… but I show it anyway! Thanks for watching my friend! Yeah that Copperhead CVO caught my eye but Honda has my heart. For now!

I think the one big thing I like about Harley is that they have a lot of these cool events. I like how they sound as well. Like you said, I’d probably go buy the other if this puppy hit the ground. But luckily so far it hasn’t. I think it was funny when the recall first came out. Everyone was freaking out and suggesting I go to honda ASAP. Like chill everyone. Thanks for posting. Hope to see you down the road in the near future.

I’m with you my friend. Harley definitely has a ton of events and rides. Everybody was freaking out for sure. I say it’ll all get taken care of and just relax. Looking forward to meeting up as well. Thanks for watching buddy!

It is surprising there are two issues going on with the Gold Wings. That said, it is surprising there are ANY issues going on with the Wings. But let's face it - we can't expect perfection, and as bikes and cars get more and more sophisticated both technologically and mechanically, there are going to be issues with any model or manufacturer. The question is, how many relative to other manufacturers and models. I'm betting Honda/GW is still at the very low end. In recent months, I've seen a handful of Valk owners on our forum who've made the move from Valk to Gold Wings. Even Rick has his for sale and wants one. Course he has two Harleys in the garage as well, LOL! A recall on a part or two does not a bad machine make. Admittedly, my eyebrows would be raised higher if this were happening to Harley, but if we just look at the track records, who can blame me? Not ONE of the Hondas I've ever owned has had a recall on any of their parts. Call me biased! Because I AM! Now about that casual Friday incident, just use your common sense going forward. I think your employer will understand after all you've done and endured for them! LOL! Tongue click and fingers pointed back atcha!

It really is surprising to see Goldwing having an issue. For years they haven’t had any problems and have been rock solid. But that’s part of production with any vehicle, you’re gonna have issues here and there. I appreciate the comment and your continued support Craig!

Being a long time Wing rider I’m not worried about it. Difference between HD and Honda is they are addressing the issue. My Pan Am HD wouldn’t do squat, my dealer had to fight to get a new fuel pump, a common issue on the PA. If my wing blows I’ll still get another one.

@BigSmittyRiding 8 ай бұрын

I’m with you Pete. I’m not at all worried about the Wing or about Hondas response. I fully believe it’ll be fine and that these bikes will continue to run for hundreds more f thousands of miles! Thanks for watching my friend!

I rode a Victory for 10 years before I got my Wing, the Vic was problem free until the end. I don't expect any less reliability from my 18 Wing, I'm not worried about the recalls, most gen6 Goldwings run like tops and plenty are solid with over 100k miles. When I get my recall letter I'll have the issues taken care of. I haven't been interested in any HD since 2012 but the new batch of Greezer Glides has got my attention, especially that CVO Road Glide S/T.. 😎

@BigSmittyRiding 8 ай бұрын

I also had a Victory for 5 years and absolutely loved it. I fully agree that the Wings are rock solid and are amazing machines. Much like you the new HD’s have tempted me but not enough to make a move. Thanks for the comment and for watching!

@@BigSmittyRiding Tempting little minks, those new Glide are, Its not enough to get me off this Wing...Plus BT Moto(Bren Tuning) just released a Stage 1 ECU flash for the 18+ Goldwings. Can you imaging this engine properly tuned in all the modes and with the restrictions removed..😎 My tuner arrives tomorrow...

@BigSmittyRiding 8 ай бұрын

Daaaaaamn! I’m jealous! I’m seriously looking into the BT-Moto tuner. I wanna see how well they respond and then I’ll decide. But the thought if the bike being tuned and the revs extended makes me smile!

@painsrides3616 8 ай бұрын

@@BigSmittyRiding I'll make a video review once I have some time with it. I thought from the day I rode the Wing home "this is a damn good engine but its seriously held back and needs a tune". I've been waiting for the ECU to be cracked and BT is one of the best.

Smittty how would you compare gold wing vs your old 1800 Valkyrie on performance and handling thank you brother

@BigSmittyRiding 7 ай бұрын

I’ll be honest they are about the same. The Valkyrie was lighter so I believe it had a little better take off speed. But the handling and top end power are about the same with the Goldwing getting a slight edge. Comfort is the Wing hands down. Both are amazing bikes but serve different purposes in my opinion. Hope that helps???

So... Your torn between the copperhead and one of the big Indian chief models? I was not a fan of the issues Indian had in the past but from the newer ones that are out now they do really seem pretty awesome and the 100 plus horsepower on the chief isn't too bad either... But that copperhead is a very very nice looking machine and it will definitely turn heads

There are more Harley Davidsons than any other brand. There are also way more Harley Davidson dealerships and independent shops that will work on Harley Davidsons than any other brands. There is also way more aftermarket parts and accessories available for Harley Davidsons than any other brand. I have had at least 1 bike from all of the 4 Japanese manufacturers. I have have several Hondas. Right now I have 2 older Harley Davidsons and 1 Honda. I ride what I like. I think everyone should ride what they enjoy riding. To me enjoyment is the number one reason to ride.

@BigSmittyRiding 8 ай бұрын

You are 100% right, enjoy what you ride and have fun! Yeah, Harley is the dominant brand so I try to have some HD content simply because there’s so many Harley riders out there. Thanks for the input and for watching!

Issues on anything built during the so-called pandemic I believe is because of the hostile work environment that it caused. My 2023 FXST had to have a few warrenty jobs done. When a persons job is in the air every day at a plant work quality falls short. that wing motor sound beautiful. stay in the wind👍👍👍

@BigSmittyRiding 8 ай бұрын

Very good point! I agree anything produced during the pandemic is bound to have issues. All companies are gonna have recalls, Honda has been lucky enough not to have very many. Thanks for the good feedback and for watching!

@roadglide 8 ай бұрын

There’s one confirmed issue. Fuel cell impeller. In April Honda will communicate with customers. I know Gold Wing Doc went on a tear but it’s only from Forum banter. Honda has not confirmed this latest. Nor has my dealership here DFW. The nations largest volume Wing dealership. It’s a fire run wild. Until it’s confirmed by credible legitimate sources. I’ve owned 3 Wings since 84. All have been awesome. I appreciate Harleys and Indians. But they so are also plagued with their own idiosyncrasies. Some known and some as you live them long enough.

@BigSmittyRiding 8 ай бұрын

Oh I’m with you, there’s far more issues with HD and other brands than there is with Honda for sure. The Wing is still an amazing machine and I won’t be getting rid of mine. I looked at the forums and watched Goldwing Docs video before I decided to put it in this video. More as a forewarning than anything else. If it’s true as “some” folks on the forums say then we’ll see what happens. Personally I’m waiting to hear from the mother ship and not gonna freak out. Thanks for the info and for watching my friend!
