Why the Goldwing is the GREATEST motorcycle of all TIME!!!

Love these motorcycles. They are everything a Harley isn't; smooth, quiet, comfortable, powerful, reliable, durable, well engineered.

[@robertplank6284]

Kevin Barry you are correct but Harley isn’t really supposed to be any of those things, with the exception of reliable and durable where you have some substance to your argument. They are stylish and rambunctiousness loud and come with the brand. Some day I’ll be buying a Goldwing!

[@TOURMANBOB]

I keep trying to find a reason to sell my 2003 and buy a new Goldwing, but there just isn't a reason. 130,000 on the odometer and it runs as well as a new one...better actually. I've had dozens of bikes over 65 years of riding and never really "arrived' until I bought the 2003 used but in perfect condition. Best vehicle I have ever owned period !! I will never sell it and you can't wear it out as long as you maintain it properly (easy and inexpensive to do). Besides, at 80, I'll be dead long before this bike gets "old"......

[@phdep1]

I just bought a 06' Wing for $5k with 128,000k miles. Did an Iron Butt Saddle Sore 1000, (1,114 miles in 20 hours) without a hitch. Bike is smooth as melted butter, KEEP IT!

[@Legitbit58]

Started riding at 23 on a Kawasaki mean streak 1600. Two years later, moved to a full dresser harley. I was obsessed with Harley because I’d never owned one. It didn’t take long for me to own it to find out why people complain about them. About 2 years after that, my Dad decided he was going to upgrade from 2002 Goldwing to a 2018. I decided I was gonna give the “old man bike” a try and I was not disappointed. Since then, I’ve bought his 2002 and sold the Harley for the same price I got it for. Now that I’ve been spoiled by the Goldwing, I’m extremely confident in saying I won’t ever ride anything else.

[@Supercell725]

I’m 63 but feel 43 when I’m on my 06 wing. I love the bike, the handling,power, comfort, 40 mpg, mine has 82k on it. I took my highway pegs off, I don’t miss them. I enjoy watching your channel, you guys rock.

Loud pipes save lives was a good mantra back in the 90s before cell phones and distracted driving took over people would actually hear you. Nowadays people have windows up, A/C blasting and music even louder to drown out the A/C noise. If they can't hear all the sirens on my fire truck when i'm driving they definitely can't hear your motorcycle.

[@shawnbrown9636]

Thank you truth spoken

[@roberthood7407]

The noise from loud pipes is only heard by the traffic behind you because the noise is coming out the back. Cars in front of you don't hear it till you get by them . To late by this time. Turn your headlights on and wobble a little bit.

[@BP-xe7dw]

I have both. Loud and quiet. I tend to disagree with the blank statement either way. It is all situational. I had so many instances in the city where my loud pipes worked in alerting people about my presence as they were about to do a move. A light blip is all that is needed sometimes. On long trips, I always wear earplugs anyway, regardless of bike loudness. In the city, I do like to have that added presence. Above all, I think the best possible defense, apart from skillful riding, a helmet with high visibility graphics. That is what most other drivers spot first.

[@tealtazmanian966]

I'm 70 and ridden about every bike and prefer the Goldwing over anything out there hands-down. That's NOT TO SLAM any other Bike. I rode my first one that a buddy wanted to switch for a section of our trip. I had a beautiful EX100 Full Dress Yamaha at the time. It got traded right after that trip because I fell in love with the Goldwing. I haven't looked back or regretted any one of the other 5 before this one. I actually went backwards a few years and acquired an older but "NOW" VERY SAWEEET '84 GL1200 Aspencade for under $600. My wife's distant, and almost lost, cousin was in need of the BREAD so He came to me and set the price at $150 but I wouldn't be able to sleep with myself at that price so I opened the garage safe and gave him all that I had at the time which was the $575. Neither of us got messed up too badly by the deal because I have to admit that the Bike was actually pretty rough, No, let me re-phrase that, VERY ROUGH in a lot of ways in the painted dept, the engine was pitted from sitting out in all that weather as well as a lot of rusted chrome and the seat covering was shot from sitting outside, uncovered here in Idaho for maybe 10/12yrs. He inherited it from his Brother killed in the Gulf. I just felt for the guy and later gave him work around the Ranch and the Mountain Property to get him back to living a Godly Life. The Wife was in charge of all that and it always feels better to help than to not. It got a very Quick and temporary paint job, quite a bit of the time-tested stand-by rust remover and a ton of good old elbow grease, Rebuilt the front Forks, head Bearings, new fork seals N Fluid, new shifting shaft seal, other misc seals and ALL new wheel bearings front and rear, every fluid thoroughly flushed, a bit of Marvel Mystery Oil to make certain the engine even turned over before anything else got changed out and of-course all new Carb Rebuild kits later were synchronized with my 1973 true Mercury Sticks and lastly a $175 re-upholstered seat and I now love this thing...who can complain with 52mpg out of an Oldie-But-Goody ridden by an equally Oldie Dude. I now ride a Bike almost 4 decades old that gets asked about by a lot of other riders. Most people are funny and think it's a lot newer than it is and when they call me on it I show them the Registration and their mouth drops and I just have to laugh WITH THEM. Yeah I know, I plead guilty to KINDA getting carried away with all my bragging about any and ALL Goldwings in general way too much and I must confess. I still however, CLAIM I have every right because I'm about as OLD as Them-Thar Hills...feels like it some days too. Yes SIR, you are exactly correct, "The Wing IS KING." If you don't mind I'll ad-lib just a tad-bit, "The WING IS & ALWAYS HAS BEEN KING at least for this Ol' Rider."

@@ntdscherer : Nope. The original Goldwing was Honda's counter to the HD, before there WERE "touring" bikes. Then they discovered that the main customer base was completely different: it was young professionals, who were putting Vetter commuter-type fairings and bags on them and MAKING the whole "touring bike" thing start. So, just like the invention of the Honda Trail, HUSA saw what other people were doing and followed their customers. They made a deal with Craig Vetter for custom Tupperware, and eventually developed the whole-bike concept found in the GL1500 and GL1800.

Thanks to srk I have more knowledge about all my friends harleys than they do. I rock a cbr600rr. 😭

[@aspiceronni4462]

I've been thinking of pulling the trigger on a late 90s Wing, as they are now so affordable...im talking 1500 bucks. This video made my mind up.

[@CiBi1968]

Sean, One day you will surprise us all and continue right @7:03 LOL

[@jimsnider3971]

Completely agree about the loud pipes save lives crapola, and have been preachin about the loud clothing and helmets for years! I bought my '89 Wing back in 2000 with only 4,000 miles on it and it now has 165,000 miles and still going strong. I'd love to upgrade to an '03, but I just can't wear this '89 out!!!

[@canderson72]

That verse you through in there is awesome - made my day! And I have a yellow 2010 Airbag version - I love it!

[@custommotor]

I don't need a phone mount, so the 25% off promo code is a moot point. How about the 25% discount code for the Goldwing?

[@russnurse2b807]

I couldn't agree more 😊

[@arthurschamne]

I got 34% off when I bought mine, I found a brand new 2016 in a dealer's showroom last year with a sticker of 24,999 and the dealer let me have it for 16,499.

[@russnurse2b807]

@@arthurschamne That's awesome!!

[@Domitianvs]

@@arthurschamne I'm guessing they wanted to get rid of the old stock before the 2018's came in. If you don't need to own the latest, baddest, coolest stuff just for bragging rights, that is a hell of a way to make a good deal on a bike!

[@stephanielongden597]

I'm subscribing because I felt the review was way too short - I could listen to you for hours - lovely voice matched with brilliant presentation.

[@randytaylor6444]

I have to agree with you 100% I had a 98 Wing I was hit head on the bike took most of the hit but because they are so nimble I was able to maneuver my bike for less of an impact I just couldn’t afford another at that time but maybe some day

[@SamofCR]

I have ridden the 1800 and the 1500. I like the way my 1200 sits much better. I think I will stay with it.

[@davidcowan4705]

The joy of the vibration and sound of the Harley dissipates quickly. The smoothness of a Goldwing never goes away. I prefer the joy of smoothness and lack of Hundred Dollars (HD) every other month 10 to 1.

[@curtanderson8655]

I had a 1990 wing and rode it coast to coast, no problem. Tried out a 1800 and it just felt small, legs hit engine guards, by the way I'm 6'5". I just didn't like the feel of the bike for me so I moved on to a Victory Vision and it has the leg room with out hitting my legs. Nothing wrong with the newer wings, it's just not for me

[@awuma]

1:43 The sitting position is "standard" rather than "cruiser" or "sport bike". For many years, most bikes sold in North America were sport or cruiser, whereas the standard type of bike is much more common in Europe and Asia.

[@robertbelote5273]

I want that shirt the og one from the early 60s , i think , when that slogan came out. Great episode man.

[@sassed12many]

Test rode a 2018 Goldwing Tour DCT for 4 hours, felt like riding across country

[@migueljonz3901]

This happens to all G-Dubya owners.

[@henryhonda8408]

I owned 3 Honda Civics between 1991 and 2009..... and presently have a 2012 Honda Goldwing which I've had for 8 years now. And YES the mirrors on the 5th Generation Goldwing are EXACTLY the same as what's on a Civic. My Goldwing has a bigger engine then any of my Civics had . I put mega trouble free miles on my Civics and my Goldwing has close to 100,000 miles & every bit as reliable as my past Civics.

i really love the goldwing videos. my favorite bike.

[@ConservativeCalifornian1032]

Just bought a 2002 illusion blue honda goldwing and i havent felt this much excitement since i bought my first bike almost two years ago. I haven’t received it yet since i bought it in texas and im having it shipped to my city but it only has 28k miles on it. Barely broken in 👌

[@eparreira65]

I’m coming up on 134,000 on my ‘01. Ride smart, do regular maintenance, it’s running as good as the day I bought it.

[@MatthewMcClellan]

Thanks for this review. I’ve been looking at the early 2000s Gold Wings, I like everything I’ve seen so far.

[@johnpaulmakowski7464]

Honda Gold wing definitely my favorite. For so many reasons as he points out.

[@WORRO]

Always loved my Wings! Thumbs up video Brother ~John

[@badfish2002]

Thank you for the video. My dad always rode a goldwing…great memories 😊

[@moconno1]

The only touring bike that is better than a 01-17 Goldwing is a 18 or newer Goldwing. I waited awhile and bought a new leftover Goldwing Tour DCT in May. Really liked my 08 Wing but so far I’m loving my new DCT. Keep up the great work 😎

[@Gofr5]

I'll admit I tend to lust a little more after the K1600GT, but I would love a Goldwing just as much.

[@alainpaquin627]

The BMW K1600GT is a nice bike too and it's more powerful than the GW.

[@scafusa]

As much as I admire the Gold Wing, I still prefer my ST 1300 PanEuropean. V4 engine, same power as the GW, elastic beyond belief, and 70 kilos lighter as the 2020 and 140 kg lighter than previous GWs. And, detachable sidcases 🙂👍🏻

[@georgecostanza2695]

Don't know about a dime, but you can balance a nickel on the Goldwing... and not just at idle, you could even rev it up without it falling over! Surprised at that 0-60 though, your runs are usually pretty accurate for real world acceleration times but I thought those old 'Wings would have been sub 4 seconds.

[@robdot1964]

It took awhile but I actually found something to agree with you on! Loud pipes do not save lives.

[@jackblah5842]

5:43 can't you believe you left that guy hangin' !

[@2bazookas65]

I put 86,000 miles on my 1994 GL1500 Aspencade. I meet a fella in 2022 in Arkansas that just rolled over 300,000 miles on his 2004. The machine is bullet proof.

[@monmixer]

i personally love the mid shift position. I believe that is the correct posture for riding a motorcycle. I rode a 76 CB 750 touring bike for a couple of years. It was a heavy iron pig but it ran like a MF.

[@MarvinMonroe]

My grandfather had one in the 80s. I think it was an 82, took me out on it sometimes

[@Austinhelm]

My grandpa has a goldwing he brought brand new in 2002 I believe and has drove it 2 times. Last time I checked it had 600 miles on it.

[@donupton7374]

My first bike was a Honda Goldwing 1000 1975 when my daughter was about 10 years old we rode to see my father about 60 miles away had a nice visit and then we return home freeways are the way and what I got to buy house she was asleep on the back of it. That's how smooth and quiet a Goldwing is. The biggest mistake I ever had is when I sold it. That I bought a Yamaha Maxim after that I bought a Honda Shadow 750 and I knew that it wasn't the bikes that I wanted. Now I have another Goldwing 1500 and it's quietest smoothest hike I've ever owned. I can't think of any reason why somebody would ride something other than a cold thing

[@ShawnKitchen]

Point of mention: 2:23 - The GL1800 does not come with air suspension. The last Wing with air preload assist was the GL1500. I like what SRK Cycles does, but sometimes you guys need to do a better job researching before you make statements about bikes.

[@Jt96.]

Couple of days ago me and my friend were trying to pull out of a parking lot and we heard a loud motorcycle before we saw it. We couldn’t see him till he went by us. So loud pipes save lives

[@alainpaquin627]

At low speed, you'll hear them as well as all the people in their houses or the ones walking or cycling or eating on the terrace. For unknown reasons, those pipes seem louder when the rider is at a stop sign or just about to go...lolllllllllll

[@cliffordb47]

I bought a 2007 Goldwing brand new put 81,000 miles on it, eight sets of tires one set a fork rings that's it nothing else broke there a great motorcycle.

[@DonutLord32]

I would live to own a Goldwing. Ive heard many good things about them. Are they good for short riders at about 5 ft 4?

[@zrotzel]

I'm a VTX 1300 owner. Goldwing may be my next purchase..

[@Supercell725]

Roger, do it buy the wing. I rode a 97 Valkyrie for 15 years before I bought my 06 Wing, that Valkyrie sits in the garage now retired. I can’t stay off the wing.
