Younger guy (30) with a 2005 gl1800 here in the UK. Whilst I love my goldwing, it is a real handful at low speeds compared to my other bikes. If you cant stop with the front wheel straight you're in real trouble (tight turns, parking lots, drivers stopping suddenly in front of you). It forces you to be a better rider and anticipate the actions of others.

So I got my first 2010 Goldwing about five years ago from a brother of a close friend that had passed away. He offered to me at a pretty good price and I wasn’t really interested in it, but I figured from the sentimental value point of view, I would get it and bring it out to my second home out in Colorado. Well, it never left my home state Florida because I absolutely fell in love with it. I loved it so much that I end up buying another 2010 Goldwing that only had 6300 miles on it and I leave that one in Colorado. Goldwing is a fantastic bike with very little maintenance issues.

I'm 54 and just bought my first Wing last summer. My only regret is that I didn't get one sooner!! I've had tons of other makes and models but none compare in nearly all categories. I had a friend that made fun of me for getting my geezer wheels when I bought it. Guess what he just bought, yup, you guessed it, a wing for himself. He sure did eat his words. LOL 🤣🤣Anyone that thinks they are no fun hasn't ridden one yet. It's fun to watch their faces when they return from riding one for the first time. 😛👍

The Wing is top of the line. Young people have noooo idea what they are missing. Great video D2. We both have a 2015 wing and just completed 367 days on the road. We wouldn't attempt this with any other bike. Both bikes are approaching 200k miles. Rich purchased his new, from the dealer in 2016. Kake purchased her F6b in 2017 from an HD dealer, with only 200 miles on it. We love our bikes.

Just found your channel. Bought my 09 wing 3 years ago after the carburetors on my Yamaha Royal Star Venture went south after sitting during Covid. It's an Audio/Comfort/Nav and the fuel injection put that carburetor crap to rest. It had 36k on it when i bought it. Now has 44k and I look forward to many more happy miles on the wing. Keep the videos coming.👍👍👍

Solid information D2. Agree on all points. I was 28 when I purchased a brand new 82 two tone burgundy GL1200 Interstate. Years later a new 96 Pearl white GL1500 SE. Today a new 22 an ultra blue DCT airbag. Gold Wings are Kings. Nice job D2! Keep that excitement. It’s inspiring.

Video summary: Plenty of speed/power, good on trips, has cruise control, has relaxing highway foot position, low center of gravity, repeat Would have been cool to hear about other things like storage and how you back up/lift a 900lb beast like that

How does the 2002 handle ethonol added fuel?
@adamcondon51152 ай бұрын
No difference at all in how the engine performs, however, I wouldn't recommend storing the bike for winter and such with ethanol fuel. Last couple tankfuls before storage I fill with ethanol-free gas. I usually buy ethanol-free during riding season but sometimes it's not available at some stations. Like I said though, it runs it just fine.
@garyedwards81422 ай бұрын
I own an 02. I avoid ethanol at all costs…might run ok short term, but long term it will destroy plastic components inside…..be warned…👍🇬🇧
@d2destinations1062 ай бұрын
No problem. However if storing, use non-ethanol while in storage.
