Video

I currently have one of these fz6 it's a keeper.

Good video, I bought the same model and colour 4months ago as a retirement present as it’s the only bike I can get the wife to pillion on. Can’t fault a single thing, best bike I have owned in 40years of on road biking. Blackpool Honda couldn’t have been better to deal with, let me have the bike for a day to try it out and to see if the missus would be happy on. Service plan you suggest is great value too. As comments say, it’s a lot of money, but 40 years of work, I think I am owed it, and I am getting the miles in with the wife enjoying it too. DCT is a must if you want an easy life, manual if that’s your thing is also available.

Evening my friend, looking at that yam makes me wonder if pushing it when it ran out of fuel might have put some strain on your heart. Good idea decluttering, living in a chaotic environment can cause stress - and stress is a hidden, unseen problem. Sorry you missed wildbad, I saw a few vids pop up and thought of you. Look after yourself and really hope you can join us on the Sunday in August.

Looking good!

“Mighty NC”?? Surely mighty Goldwing?

Biggest negative is the dash, they have not changed it since 2018... way way way behind the 24 Harleys Tour bikes, really hoping the 25 GW has this upgraded

Flat six (Boxer) not straight six and sounds like a Porsche 911 as engine layout the same, not a Mustang which is a V8...

Think it’s fair to say that you like the Goldwing. Regarding the DCT, when changing down it sounds clunky …or are you using a paddle shift?

Does it have Stop/Start function?

Fantastic bike in every respect….many say it’s the worlds best tourer; if that’s true why are there so many touring on BMW’s and even Harley’s? When I’m out and about on UK roads I hardly ever see a Goldwing. Surely if you can afford a big BMW you can afford a Goldwing?

Judging width is difficult. Did you know that a Rolls Royce is 5 inches narrower than a Range Rover?

That is a VERY nice S1!!! These bikes are not beginner bikes. That's why they got offed.

I mean the standard

The hima 411 bs 4 is better to drive when there is bad weather and wind than the 450.i have both. The 550 has more power and also to heavy to put the hima 450 from the pickel

Anyone who owns an NC750 is a smart person. I don't have one, but I keep my eyes open for a good deal on one. I would choose it over the Talp 100%.

a fantastic bike for sure but a mighty NC it aint ! Nice look at the Goldwing mate, good job.

About 2 years ago I had a Goldwing for a day down in Exeter. Fell in love straight away. Even for a 5'9 shortarse like me it was easy and so so nimble at slow speed. However I live in the Black Mountains in Wales with snotty little lanes and even when I get to Motorways and A roads, these days they're like Nepalise mountain tracks after they've been bombed. Therefore unless I move to France or California I'll have to stick to my GS.

Hi Paul. Interesting vid on the Golf Wing. Talking of economy , I ride my NC from Halifax to camp in North Wales, then do the Horseshoe Pass, arrive back in the garage just before the fuel light comes on, doing about 74mpg with all the camping gear on. If I do a straight run from Halifax to Scarborough (where it’s a bit flatter) with no camping gear it’s touching 80mpg. I’m not hanging around either, I’m running the manual gearbox.

Hi Paul,just been into Youles yesterday and bought my first DCT.. it was a choice between the mighty NC and the mighty Rebel 1100..but because I'm coming off a vstrom and fancied a complete change i opted for the Rebel..i took one for a test ride and absolutely fell in love with the bike and the dct,can't wait to collect it..and whilst i was there i got a quote on a Goldwing £4000 down and £316 a month😂😂 maybe one day..it was Brad who i dealt with.

Great to see you out again. Ade

Goldwing was an interesting bike when they appeared in '70s. Concept could have been improved so much with improved handling, performance & handling sticking with 1000cc flat four layout. 1800cc six seems so American & a waste. Supercharged 750cc would have been interesting.

Your comments on the Goldwing was very good you were very honest as i said before I live in Spain the serviceing hear is a lot cheaper England not so good but I enjoyed it very much thank you and the wife does nod off on the back sometimes great to be alive cheers

Blake was here 😊

The goldwing really is a touring bike for highway miles. I wouldnt want it for our narrow small country lanes. I did wonder something, do u sometimes travel with your NC? I dont think u have ever made a travelling video (multi day) or do u just keep it at day trips?

As I have said previously, if I could only have one bike it would be my NC750X. My second bike would be my ZZR1441 My third bike is a classic (I own an old Kawasaki) A Gold-Wing in my garage would be relegated to 4th position. My issues are it is not overly good for filtering on British A-roads. It isn't overly good at dealing with nadgery little lanes in the Scottish Highlands, and it is a heavy old beast around town. I reckon these bikes are ideal if you live in the US of A, or you wish to ride to Palermo in Sicily. Don't get me wrong, having owned a GL1800 they are truly incredible machines, but they have a very limited appeal for the riding I do...Hence I sold mine.

Nice one Paul, an honest first hand review from someone who rides a lot. Cheers bud.😊

I wonder if the guys who lent you their 30K bike would be happy with you taking it down a gravel lane. I for one certainly wouldn't want to buy it now.

Great vlog bud , what a Machine , still I cant fault my NC DCT , hope your getting back to full heath now buddy

Unfortunately I judge my bikes by the size of my wallet an £32 big ones for a bike I wouldn’t be able to justify

I’ve a 1800C version which is more basic, great smooth engine, very stable, brilliant for A roads, but tight lanes need concentration and every-time I stop I think; “what’s going on here?” Ie what’s the camber, slope, gravel situation etc. yes the weight is low down, but the C is still 340 Kg and on one leg it can be daunting. I’ve not taken a pillion yet, but can only imagine that is even more tricky.

How do you find the suspension? I’m thinking of getting one (my other consideration is a nx500) - mainly for blasting around rough country lanes but worry the suspension won’t be up to it

A fun description mate. Cheers from America! My wife is from Uddingston. So it was easy to follow you. I got my ‘dream wing’ in 2022, have 23,000 miles so far. The more you know the bigger the smiles! Last bike I will ever buy, at 69 years young! Be careful of ‘sport mode’ brother!

I have just got one been my dream to have one since a kid now 65 just lost my dad and. Thought what the hell mine is a 2020 tour dct with 5000 miles just booked her in for a tire change my insurance is £300 a year I have been riding bikes since 16 years old you are right it is a dream just getting used to the weight on the move no problem moving in garage yes heavy but what a bike ❤❤

How tall are you.

I recently swapped my 2018 ATAS for a 2023 NC750X DCT. They both have the same instrument set-up. Different screens. I had my AT for 3 years as a daily. I loved owning and riding it, both on and off-road, but it's just too top heavy. I tested a newer AT with the DCT and really enjoyed it. But. Same weight problems and that bloody over complex instrument cluster was a no no for me. The NC is just one of those bikes that will blow you away with it's abilities. It's so well engineered and intelligently designed. Great ride. Fully useable power range. Huge torque. Love it.

I am not rich. Worked 2 jobs and saved like hell to get one. Sold most of my bikes. It was an investment similar to a house in some ways. Didnt like your comment "if you had one of these you wouldnt miss the money!"

Like your good self I've now overcome my stent procedure and got used to taking the numerous drugs and for the first time since last September i got my bike out for a bimble. Its the exact opposite to that Gold wing it's a GoldStar but how did I just love getting back in the saddle.

Going on the title, 'unless you want to move it around your driveway/garage ect 😂

Watching this for my pops to grab as he likes my 2024 NC750

I love the Gold-Wing...but if I could only have one bike it would be my NC750.

Well Paul, enjoyed that and I think a test ride could well be on the horizon 👍👍👍👍👍👍

But it’s too big like the six cylinder bmw great if you like big lumpy bikes but sorry after sixty years biking not for me, but if that rings your bell that’s ok by me

Hi BB they are nice bikes but expensive for the normal working person 👍🏍️

Flat six.

Great bikes. Without doubt the most comfortable bike I’ve ever ridden. I loved my little go on one. But I was devastated when I gave the keys back because I can’t afford one.

OK mate you've talked me into it. As soon as I win the lottery I'm having one.

Got to hand it to you Paul..there's not many people would take a new Goldwing down a gravel/dirt track..😂😂

Nice couple of video's you have done there of the new Goldwing DCT. I too went for test rides on bikes with my Mrs like the BMW K1600, RT1250 but did not feel right for us. We then went down to Blackpool Honda superstore were we test rid the Goldwing for the day, by the end of that day we were both sold on having one. We now have owned Goldwing for the last six months and what a great six months its been, it as got my Mrs back out in the saddle again enjoying biking. The best thing is i have a Kawasaki ZH2 as well in the garage so have best of both worlds, thanks again for the videos the mirrors are not electric you move the glass by hand 👍 and glad you found the hand brake in the end 🙂 Regards Gary

I am 70 and bought my 2nd hand wing last July it’s a 21plate full tour. I’ve had bikes my whole life, my last one was a VN900 classic which i owned for 14 years, i had major heart surgery in 22. The wing was my prize to me for surviving 2022. I love it to bits i wish i was ten years younger as im sure this machine will out live me. 😅

If money grew on trees I would definitely want one haha, My local dealership offered me a test ride on one but it would spoil my current and any future bikes so i passed.
