- A walkaround and some comparisons to my previous 2020 Harley Street Glide. I forgot to mention the heated grips on my Harley were much better than the heated grips on the Honda. The Honda on max is only about mid heat level on the Harley. I never used my Harley grips above 3 (halfway) so I should be fine.

Looking at getting a 2023 but definitely want the DCT. Such a beautiful bike. Good luck with it.
It's amazing how many H-D riders love their Goldwings. I absolutely love having reverse on my 2014 GW ...it has certainly helped me get out of some precarious parking situations...like loose gravel on an incline.
Enjoy and ride safe!
Sat on one of these in a showroom today. It was by far the most comfortable seat I've ever sat in, and I used to sell furniture.
I’m a Harley guy…but that Honda is SICK! Yes sir!
I was too but decided to taste something different while I am still young enough.
That taste made you a believer , there’s nothing better than a Wing!
Great job on the walk around! I took one for a ride at Daytona bike week this year and have decided to go with the same color you chose. I have been riding my Honda Valkyrie Interstate for over twenty years and love it and it draws a lot of attention wherever I go but it is getting harder and harder to get parts for these bikes and I think I will make the move to the wing by the end of the year. Once again great job on the walk around😎
Congratulations on your new ride, I have the same color but in the automatic. Went from a street glide to goldwing.
Beautiful bike, and you’ll never have DCT problems. 👍
Problems?
Congrats on the new bike Doug, I'm enjoying your walk around/ overview.
Thanks Bro
Excellent review! Informative and articulate. Very fair to both Honda and Harley in your comparison.
Enjoyed the video. I used to work at a HD dealer ship. After what I learned and witnessed, I could never go back to HD. Doug, you sound like you are an accomplished mechanic. To that end the cost to change the drive belt or chain on a GW is ZERO, on the HD is over $1,000 since part of the motor has to come apart. The drive belt can get damaged so easy if a foreign object gets caught up in there. Once a customer came in with a HD trike. He has previously had a bunch of service and preventive maintenance done. His bill was like $4K!!! Three weeks after that service, a rock some how got caught up in the back and was lodged tight. It ruined his new drive belt. Another $2K thank you very much! Yep, I like my GW and not sad the HD is someone else's set of fun!
I have always had a love hate relationship with my Harleys. I have never had drive belt issues but I know what needs to be done to change one. The Harleys I have owned really do have their good points, but also have some real bad ones. I really do love the simplicity of working in an air cooled engine. I hate the fact the swing arm is connected to the engine and then the whole thing is rubber mounted. On both the Dynas and Baggers I have had it causes handling issues when you start to push them. Some of the stuff on the Goldwing makes you shake your head though, especially the access to the air filter. That and I hate pulling apart all the plastic panels that feel like they are going to break and will if you don’t do it correctly. Everything seems to be a bit of give and take. As for the other, yes I do most of my own work. My first engine rebuild was in my teens back in the 70’s after I blew my engine racing someone.
@@Doug_Morgan I hear ya about the AF. Its a chore that one tackles in leisure while putzing about cooking BBQ. With good music, cool weather, and calm head its really not that bad. Soldier on!
I don't know what kind of mechanic are you but I can't even compared a Harley with a newer goldwing , mechanically is day and night difference, 1 is solid and the other one is disposable ,almost everything is trash , even the suspension you can't compared.
@@FandFcustomcarts yes, they are opposite. I guess I did not make myself clear. So lets try this. A HD is a hot dog with no fixings and served cold. A GW is the best steak served by the best chef..... how's that?
To me, its the best bike in the whole world.. fully packed, enough speed, better Torque, premium comfort, more space.. hope to sit one day on this bike 🙏
Absolutely great job. I was going to do a similar video but this was great. The fact that you can do a comparison was awesome. I own the 2019. You are guaranteed to fall in love with this machine. Warning, be careful. The drop guards doesn’t stop the bike from going over on the bags. I am talking from experience. 😊
Yes I expect they are only good if you are holding the bike as it goes over and it sets down easy. On a hard fall I expect it would go right over onto the bags until the handlebars hit and stop it from going further.
I have a 02 and must say the goldwing is the most comfortable bike I have ever owned. I have had Harleys and other Hondas. By far this is the most comfy and very Nimble for it's size. Tons of upgrades for these bikes
Thanks Doug for the very useful video.
What a machine! My ultimate dream bike
. I just purchased a 2014 honda valkyrie in blue and love it.
Congrats 🤟
You'll love it. I have the same bike & put over 35,000 miles on mine in the first 18 months. Changed tires out at 18,000, Still on original brake pads.
Nice color choice. Pros and cons to everything as you mentioned. Long term. The Goldwing should do you fine. My 90 GL 1500, approx 79k. Does great and I just but it 6 months ago. Cruise control and everything. Safe Riding 👍
Little late to this video but first off all, awesome bike! And im so glad to see the bike comes in manual. This video confirmed that for me
Nice bike. I recently traded my 2019 Road Glide Special, but I chose the BMW K1600 GTL. I preferred the 10" TFT display and the 32 extra horsepower. Both bikes are great rides. Enjoy.
Love the BMW in-line 6. I have looked at the GTL and the 1200 a couple years ago.
What a beautiful bike!
The air filter (half the bike needs dismantling!) is WHY I got rid of my 2008 GL1800 and went with a 2018 Yamaha Star Venture Transcontinental, that the GL1800 was traded in on.....a 15 minute job...no half dismantling the bike for a freakin' maintenance item... BTW...LOVE the large V-Twin...had 7 prior Wings...but this is my first V-Twin...and my wife and I ain't ever going back to anything but...for the V-Twin is an exciting, and engaging ride...
I have enjoyed my V-twins as well.
I'm a diehard Harley guy. I would love to have a Gold Wing myself. No way I would ever get rid of my Ultra Limited. The Gold Wing would just be added to the garage so I could have the best of both worlds. Gold Wing's are great bikes.
@Dan Casey Right on
I agree. I have a CVO Ultra Classic I will NEVER part with, but I could very easily add a Gold Wing.
You get the DCT Tour you’ll be parking that Harley tank in the garage for good, trust me! 😊
Nice review. I owned 3 Goldwings in the past the last being a 2013, now I have 2 HD CVO's. A Road Glide and an Ultra Limited.. Love both bikes, but I'm enjoyed the HD's now, and the Wing was so refined it almost was boring so to speak to ride. Kind of like a big scooter... Enjoy and be safe... Larry P.
As much as I love my new Wing it will never have the soul and personality that my Harleys did.
That feature, the map lock while you're driving, might ultimately save your life.
Best colour option for the wing in my opinion . All parts look high quality.
Great looking bike.. enjoy!!
It's a work of art.
I just stumbled across your channel. Great looking bike. Congrats 👏 I just subscribed
Congrats! Beautiful bike❤
Thanks
Congrats 🎉 great choice
Excellent review
Thank you
Great video. Thanks.
Love my ‘21 manual.. my previous bike was also better in the wind but also over 100 lbs heavier
I just love your bike bud.
Thanks
Thank for the video
cool video - nice video - great points of view - more please
I have a 2020 GW and a 21 Road Glide. Both bikes have a unique feel. My wife and I like to ride long distance. Here is how I make the comparison. We just got back from the Blue Ridge parkway taking the autotrain with the Harley to Washington DC and riding back home to Fort Lauderdale. The Harley is like riding a convertible sports car. Its fun and more of a moto "experience". The Honda gets you there from point a to point b without issues, and is easy to ride with no issues. But at the end of the day you don't get off the bike and say wow that was fun. Maybe it's the DCT which makes things effortless where the Harley you have to participate in the ride, controlling the bike. I actually enjoy the Honda when we take short runs to dinner or drinks or head to the Keys. The GW is like riding a sport bike in an out of traffic. It accelerates faster, weaves better in and out of traffic and that makes it fun. I occasionally use the reverse gear and me and the wife laugh, but it is handy sometimes. The navigation on the Honda is worthless and we just use the apple play anyway. The Harley nav isn't too bad, but with car play it's just a back up when out of cell service.
I would have to test a DCT for a while before I would ever buy one. To me having a clutch is part of riding a bike, the same as it is driving a sports car. Today's generations like paddle shift ,but for me it will always be a stick and clutch. My Harley touring bikes were mile munchers and the 42k I had on my last one in two years shows that. I am loving this Honda so far and have no regrets. It will never have the personality of a Harley however. I would never bad mouth either one of them.
Sweet. Congrats
Can't explain it, I'm 5'6" and I find this bike cramped, I had a goldwing f6b, that was ok, seat height has changed, they also widened it, bars are back to far, ended up on a kawasaki vaquero, which I think is less bike but more comfortable , footboard put my knee slightly bent forward other than a 90 degree angle, helps after knee surgery, for me, nice review, enjoyed it
When I first sat on one it was a 2018 here that the owner was selling. He had a backrest on it and it felt a bit cramped to me. But when I sat on one without the rider backrest it was fine. I am 6' and I think he just had it too far forward for me.
I bought a new Goldwing in 2008 and had it about 10 years. In that time, I had a love hate relationship with it. The good? Power, reverse, performance and it handled VERY well. The bad? Lots of cheap plastic, horrible stereo, uncomfortable and few upgrade options.
So, It came time for me to buy another bike, I checked out the new 2022 Goldwings and saw the exact same problems from my last Goldwing. Considering the bike is approximately $33k or so, there was no way I would have purchased another. Seriously, they need to beef up the plastic because it scratches easily (dealer told me it was an issue on new Goldwings), put a 400 watt stereo in it MINIMUM with better speakers and put on a plush seat for both rider and passenger. The recent "update" to the speakers and bag space was a good start, but seriously, for a $33k bike, some of this should be obvious.
I agree with what you say, I don't need the high power stereo though as I only listen to it through my headset. Much better sound without having to have it blasting away to overcome wind noise on the highway. They really need to improve radio reception though. It sucks.....
There's Motorcycles, then there is Goldwing. 😎
Hi, new subscriber here. I just stumbled across your channel. Sweet looking bike. I have the exact same bike in a 2021. Love it. Ride safe..
Thanks, I don't usually post much. It all started just as a place to save videos I took. For some reason this video lined up with the algorithms or something and took off. I hope you enjoy yours as much as I am mine.
I’ll be doing a video on a one year review soon. Pros and Cons.
I'll be watching for it Rich, thanks for the heads up. We did our first two up ride today now that my wife was off shift. We rode down about 125 miles from here for breakfast. My wife loves how smooth it rides. She commented that she hardly felt any of the big bumps we have on our highway up here instead of getting launched off of the seat.
@@Doug_Morgan awesome stuff. Yeah my wife love it. This summer we will be doing some beach rides and just enjoying it.
I love it.
great bike😁
In Australia we can only get the air
bag model,wish we could get the glove box in the tour model
I just learned that today. I was watching a video of someone there that had waited about 10 months to get one.
Great job! If I ever do a comparison vid between a Wing and Harley it would be very, very short because there is NO comparison. Sorry Harley friends. :)
beautifull black bike!
Going to rent one of these to try them out myself soon.
That is how I started and then the rental outfit was unable to supply one for me. The dealer said I could take one out for a ride and I was sold after only a couple minutes on the bike.
The best motorcycle in the world
I suspect the satnav screen being “locked” on the move may be deliberate, screen-scrolling and riding probably don’t mix too well.
It is definitely made like that due to people getting too involved with it and not paying attention. Any other vehicle I have had has this ability. The way things are going these days our ability to do anything will be restricted. Some are for good reasons but others are just silly. The ole reasoning of a few make a mistake and new rules are made for all.
Many thanks for the review Doug. By the way, do you run Dunlop American Elites on both the Goldwing and the Street Glide?
I will see if I can get them or not for the Wing when the stock tires wear out. It came with Dunlop tires which are wearing down much faster than Elite tires did on my Harley’s.
A great video. You mentioned highway pegs. With the shape of the engine on that GW how do the highway pegs mount ?
There are several different types and how they mount. I can take a short vid of the ones I bought when I get time.
They make ones that are machined to fold in on the engine cases. Atleast they do for the odler wings and valkyries.
@Hutch you must be referring to these. If so they were one the ones that I was deciding on when I bought the ones I have. czcams.com/video/R3CNohpssW8/video.html
I heard reviews on wanting a touch screen but how would that work with gloves?
It depends on the touch screen. The type that Harley uses will work with any glove. The ones on phones require gloves with special tips on the fingers to work.
Beautiful bike! I'm picking up a 2022 DCT bagger (in the matte blue) on Wednesday. Can't wait. I have a 2020 Fat Boy with the stage4 131 and CycleRama 512 cam. I'm keeping that too. I'm in Edmonton. Where are you?
Congrats, :). I am up in McMurray, my other bike is a 20 Bonneville T120.
I see on your NAV screen you're in Wood Buffalo :-)
@@williamb.9110 Ya that is the new name for the regional municipality.
@@Doug_Morgan Well if you're ever down in Edmonton on the wing ping me and we'll go for a spin
I have a 2018 Tour 6MT bought new to replace a POS M8 Harley. It's the best boring motorcycle I've ever owned. It's name is Wife Taxi. Looking at buying a new Naked bike to stable with the Wing for my solo riding and fun.
Exactly what I did with getting my little Bonneville. Enjoy and ride safe. :)
I've owned (3) Sportsters & now own a Honda CBR1000RR so I'm aware of just how superior Honda is to Harley. Can't believe HD is even still in business their that bad.
I have to say I completely enjoyed my 2020 Street Glide. There are things I didn't like but overall I loved the bike and put over 40k kms on it in two seasons. Sure Honda does many things better, especially on the performance and handling side but they could learn a thing or two from Harley when it comes to fit and finish. Especially with the plastics.
Great review!👍 Was that done in 1 take? If so, impressive.🤙🏍
Thanks, yes it was just a quick walk around with my cell phone. All in one take, no edits.
Does it have a quick shifter for the manual?
No it does not.
how to pump air for the rear wheel?
I just kneel on ground beside rear wheel and put in air. It comes with 90 degree valve stems so it is very easy.
la vendi?
Just found your channel and outstanding video! I own a '21 Street Bob that I love and plan to keep, and have been on the fence between adding a new GW or '22 Road King Special. Have test-ridden both, and my brain pulls me toward the GW, but my heart toward the RKS. The GW handled so effortlessly, but I found it the steering to feel weird (I know now that must've been the uniqueness of the front suspension). The GW's tech is incredible, but overwhelming...almost "too much," and I love the bare bones of the RKS. But your comparison of all the elements between your SG and your GW have me reconsidering. I subscribed, btw, and look forward to following your GW journey.
Yes there is a huge difference between the RK and the Wing. The RK is pretty much a bare bones ride in the way of tech. Nothing wrong with that, sometimes the simplicity of that makes the ride more enjoyable. It all depends on the person and the riding they do. That is why I have always been a firm believer of "ride your own ride" and do whatever make you happy. I will never get people that will go online and hate of people for what they may or may not ride. If they are on 2 wheels and having fun then all the power to them. If you are really drawn the the RK you could always get a handlebar GPS (I have one on my Bonneville) and a helmet com unit which will give you radio and bluetooth music from your phone. Good luck with whichever you buy.
Thanks, Doug. Well said, and I couldn't agree more.
I traded my 18 Roadglide for my Gunmetal DCT Tour. I have never looked back. suspension is far superior, not sure if you mentioned that.
I think I did, I would have to watch it to be sure. Even with 13" Legend shocks on the back of my Street Glide it doesn't begin to compare to the Wing.
Are motor vehicles in the United States still subject to annual tax?
I am in Canada, we don't have an annual tax but must renew our license plate each year. I have family over in the UK and they need plates and some road tax sticker or something on their vehicles.
Thank you very much for the information, Sir. I am in Indonesia there is an annual tax and for this Honda Goldwings the tax is more expensive because it is a luxury item. In Indonesia, motorbikes cannot enter tolls either
i hope i can have a motorcycle also, even not that one...i need your help sir...
Hey man I just got mine like 6 weeks ago, my foot hits the engine everytime I go to shift, do you have this problem?
No I haven’t had that happen. I am a size 10.
@Doug Morgan I have a size 14 boot and I either hit the engine or miss the shift lever lol, coming from an Indian challenger the riding position is just a little different, not bad, just different, I wish the pegs were longer
I would take the gold wing over any Harley Davidson. It's a better bike superior reliability that can't be matched by any other motorcycle.
How much does a second hand cost
Your best bet is to do a search for them. It will depend on the year of the bike, condition and country it is bought in.
You can’t move around the map but you can zoom in and out with left handle bar control.
Just the opposite on mine. I can zoom in and out but cannot move around the map. When in motion if you try to move left or right it changes radio station or music track. Up or down changes zoom level.
@@Doug_Morgan correct. That’s what I said.
Read your reply wrong. Yes that was what I mentioned was my dislike. You can move around in the map once the bike is moving.
Ala brevedad del tiempo de la eternidad de dios jeova de los ejercitos celestiales boy a tener la Plata para comprare estos muebles y mas
You would think Honda would have made those tip over bumpers stick out more. l have seen one Wing with a lot of damage to their saddlebag, and the side of their rear view mirror when a tip over occurred. Safe Travels.
Yes I think all they will work for is if you are on the bike stopped and drop it but kind of hold it as it goes down. Going down with any force at all I think will cause it to rock over past the bumpers causing the damage you mention.
Looks to me like you’ve worn about 3/64” tread off the tires 😉
Lol
Sad to know that the people who fly around in private jets , ride around in massive 5 mpg limos , sail around on mega Yachts live in 20 room homes and have 50 foot motor homes have made environmental laws to make the Goldwing little emissions illegal :( Honda will no longer be making it or a few other bikes .
I was just reading about that, what I seen it wasn't known if just certain Goldwing models like the manual will be dropped or if it is all of them. I am hoping it is just certain models and not all of them.
They should make an electric one
I have 1990 1500 Goldwing… think I’m going stick with it… seems lots bugs on new models. Otherwise, yours great looking Goldwing … hava go dealerships and sit on one.. see if I can touch the ground as I’m short guy.
They are not very high, but is is quite wide. My wife is 5'7" and she can touch with both feet.
Does it actually turn out the advertised 42 mpg?
That would depend on load, how fast you drive, wind, altitude, etc. Where I live I am seeing an overall average of 5.5 l/100 km (43 mpg US) travelling at an average of 70-75 mph.
@@Doug_Morgan
Pretty impressive for a six cylinder engine.
@@BillySBC not too shabby. A couple weeks ago my friend and I were riding together. He was on a 2020 Street Glide like I had before. We filled up our bikes together and then drove 200 miles and then fueled both of the bikes. On the bikes computers it showed he got slightly better mileage. I knew from owning my Street Glide it always showed you were getting better mileage that you were. Sure enough when we filled the bikes my Wing took less fuel for the trip.
Hermosaaaaaa
I have a 2016 Ultra Limited. I don't pair my phone to my bike. I use my Sena 50S blue tooth.
I didn’t either. The way the new ones are is you pair the headsets to the bike and then plug the phone into the USB port. This gives you CarPlay, full phone usage and audio text messages which you can reply to by speaking.
I've had HD full dressers and GW's, 6th and 7th gen. They are different bikes despite being heavyweight tourers. For long distance comfort the GW is very good. The HD was fun but just didn't have the competence in handling, comfort, maintenance ease, etc. Sold the HD's; still have the Wings. Also had BMW and Yamaha's big bikes. Again overall the GW is still my favorite although the older Yam Venture's, the 83-93 years, were darn good bikes too. Back then much better than the GW's were. Never a fan of the BMW's, they were just ok for me. Too $$$ for what you got. The tech on the new tourers is too much for me personally. Key fobs? Electric opening hatches and bags? More to go wrong for what value? Been riding since 1973 so I've seen massive improvements, but some of this is complexity for what gain? Ride safe and enjoy, whatever you like!
Yes all this new tech on bikes now makes me wonder about issues as they get older. A good friend of mine had a gold Venture Royal he bought new back around 88 or thereabouts.
You get way more for your money with a Honda I know I have owned many of them I have only owned 1 Harley and I will never own another one.
Good evening Sir,
How smooth is the manual and how far off the bar does the clutch engage? I rode the DCT and was not impressed - especially at slow speeds. I like to be able to do relatively tight U-turns - hence the interest in the manual. Thank you, sir. Respectfully,
Robert
The shift from 1st to 2nd on mine is a bit clunky but not bad. The rest are silky smooth. The levers are adjustable for distance. This one engages closer to the bars than other hydraulic clutches I have had but not as close as a manual clutch if that makes sense. I have zero problems feathering the clutch in tight maneuvers. Some of my previous bikes with hydraulic clutches like the FJR did not feather well. They were like an on off switch to me.
@@Doug_Morgan thank you for the info. I appreciate it. I was looking at the FJR as well, so I’m glad you mentioned it.
@@Doug_Morgan Sir - would you recommend the GWing over the FJR?
I’m 6’3”, I’ll be using the motorcycle to commute 100+ miles per day and go two up with my wife once or twice a month for weekend outings. I’ll be splitting traffic when commuting and would like decent wind protection. Thank you
@@roberthaven8094 If you are that tall you will be really cramped on the FJR. It is much faster and is more towards sport than touring. Riding with a passenger will not be that comfortable. The Wing is much more comfortable especially with a passenger. You will probably want to put highway pegs on it so you can stretch your legs from time to time. I am 6' and have a set but only use them on long trips once in a while. Everyone is different. The FJR will run away from the Wing and out handle it all day long. The Wing is no slouch though and is very sporty for its size. BTW I hated the clutch on the FJR It doesn't engage until the last 1/2 of travel and is like an on off switch. I never found a windshield I was happy with on the FJR. Something about it causes a lot of buffeting around your head. The stock shield on the wing is great in my opinion. (tour version, the non tour has a shorter one)
@@Doug_Morgan awesome info! I really appreciate it! Looks like I’ll be shopping for a manual Wing. 👍
👍
Handsome boy ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I own a Honda cub 70cc. I'm going to upgrade to goldwing straight. 😁😂🤣
Haha love it. :)
Your black Goldwing is absolutely stunning!!!!! I recently saw the exact same bike but in the burgundy red which was also nice. Honda has offered these in some beautiful colors. I’d be happy with any of them but the black looks amazing, especially when your bike is so clean.
I dream of having a Goldwing but I’m worried that being 5’7” tall will make a bike this big challenging for me to handle. Your thoughts?
Bob I think you may be OK as the Goldwing has a fairly low seat height. If you can find one at a dealer get them to let you sit on one. One of the CZcamsrs I follow (Missenden Flyer) has one and he is around 5'7" as well.
@@Doug_Morgan I follow the Missenden Flyer as well…… great channel and videos! I didn’t realize he is only 5’7” also. I believe he just traded in his 2019 Goldwing for a brand new 2022 model in dark blue. The seat height of the Goldwing isn’t my biggest concern. It’s the sure size and weight that I may have difficulty in maneuvering around in city traffic or in tight situations. There is a local Honda dealer here in Taipei where I currently reside. They allow test rides of the Goldwing but I feel I lack the confidence to handle such a big touring bike, plus they are super expensive here. They sell for nearly twice the price you’d pay in Europe or America because of the import taxes. Many have said it looks much bigger and intimidating than it really is. For now, I’ll just have to admire and enjoy these beautiful Goldwing on CZcams.
@@bfchau Yes you are correct he just released a video the other day on his new bike. If you are uncomfortable with the size of the Wing best stay with something you are comfortable with. No fun riding something that may make you nervous. Ride safe :)
Need to get Toby in some videos. ;)

Maybe I got longer legs than you.😂

I still wish my RG had Revere
Yes there were a few times when it would have been handy on both my RG and SG.
@@Doug_Morgan it can be done.. I had found a kit to add reverse awhile back.. i think it was around $1800 though
@@Touringmidwest learn from my mistake. Unload that RG and get a GW. Stop dumping money into that thing to make it something it will never be. Purched 4 new HDs and owned both versions of their (touring) bikes. I would love to have have of what I spent on the aftermarket ontouring bikes.
@@notorioussob9445 I hear you but man I love my RG.
@@Touringmidwest I loved my 15 RG as well. But when it dropped a vavle and all the HD mechanics were telling me that it did great getting and I should be pleased with 67,000 before it went..... that was it for me. They tried selling me another but I had to look elsewhere. Can't say I won't own another....... I rode that Pan America and all I could say was WOW! Gonna wait on the reliability report tho. Hearing really great things.
I'd go Darkside on the rear tire...
He didn't get the airbag for a glovebox... wow
Correct, it was the last thing I wanted on my bike.
DCT and paddle walk assist. The two best things about this bike, and it's not here!
I was interested in trying one like I said in the video but I did not want the airbag. The only one with DCT had airbag so it was a no deal for me. The standard still has the reverse. If I want to go forward I have a transmission for that.
The dashboard area down to the buttons looks like a crackheads face- Idk if honda intended this but 😹

Great video but you comparing 2 completely different bikes, newer goldwing can't compared with Harleys, mechanically everything is built to do better, so not even the front suspension can't even compared , is comparing a solid bike with a disposable one.
They are both touring bikes and therefore can be compared.
@@Doug_Morgan yes for as touring refers yes.
Comparing a street glide to a goldwing really isnt a comparison..an electra glide ultra would be better
With how my SG was set up it was the same as an Ultra.

You will only need oil changes,BRAKE pads, very low maintenance on 1600 GT 100,000+ Miles no problem same on Ducati Multistrada V4S 2021 + They have made great improvements on maintenance
@@ddbb6721 nope not for me. Little too much on the sport side of sport tour. Many have had tranny issues and recalls. Same for head work. If you don’t keep it on extended warranty repairs are stupid expensive. One of my friends bought a Multistrata and it spent more of the first year in the shop than on the road. One of they guys I follow had major problems with his as well. Might be a one off but I am happy with the Wing and reliability is darn hard to beat.
I have never had problems since 2007 with New Ducati's and new BMW's I do however do Recommend Maintenance no problems I ride 15,000 miles a year + Track Days but I am Glad you Ride
But you're willing to give up your life for the convenience of of a cellphone in the front......right. well I guess the good news is when you die on your bike you'll be able to get to your phone real quick to call 911......... Oh wait....... never mind, you're already dead. bet you wished you had an airbag then not to mention it might lower your insurance.
Funny guy, ride your own ride and quit being an ass. Some people......
@@Doug_Morgan I was being serious actually.
@@theperson7718 If you think it is a great idea to have to unpack or dig through your clothes to get at the spot to hook up your phone to the bike, great, It wasn't what I wanted. As for the airbag it is not something I see as useful on a motorcycle. The only accident it might help in is a head on. Chances are in a head on you are going over the bars anyway. I buy what I want not what you want. I have rode for over 40 years without an airbag I am sure it isn't something that I am concerned with not having.
