My Wing comes in at 1005 lbs fully loaded with tools and the usual load of gear I carry, but it is just as easy to ride as any other large cruisers I have owned. It only feels heavy when standing still; once moving, it's no harder to handle than any other large machine. In fact, i would describe it's handling as great. Once out on the highway, for both long comfortable distances as well as just enjoying the corners on country roads, it does so with grace and stability. Reverse IS handy at times when parking on uneven ground. It is just as thrilling to ride as any other of the 29 motorcycles I have owned over 62 years of driving on several continents, and is now the ONLY bike I own having gotten rid of all others. It's anything but a car, and I love the quiet of not having a loud exhaust rattling my brains for many hours on the road. I'll take the superb sound of a Porsche under hard acceleration over the constant noisy blatt of a Harley any day of the week !!
Say what you will about it's size, this motorcycle has been around for 40 years and continues to sell well. My Wing is 14 years old and I have no doubt I'll get another 10 or 15 years out of it easily (although I may not make it that long....:))
I would of loved seeing you catch some air on that beast!!! Go Wing!!!
Well for this honda... I'm dying to see your adventure in Spain, Cuenca... when ????
Best regards
Medel
Great Review Jamie! So plush!
What year is the goldwing you tested?
Thanks
I see there is a charger up front. The Revzilla review said the only charger was in the back, which I was surprised to hear. Was this an add on or did I not understand correctly? Otherwise great review and bike!
No wheelies Jamie??
My car doesn't have that many features! In fact, I don't even have a car!
buying a goldwing in spring around 2015 or 2012
Love the colour
Would love to own it 🇹🇹
does this model still have reverse gear? I remember a friends old one did. bloody need it the size these things are.
+TheFruitcake Yes it has a slow-reverse, same button as the 'start'
+TheFruitcake Just think, the electraglide ultra classic (the main competitor to this) doesn't have one - it's a bitch to back up hills, ask me how I know!
+MrSlowestD16 I wouldn't say Electra Glide, maybe Road glide. While yes not standard it is available if you can't manage the bike.
+TheFruitcake, (in a tone of disappointment) I tell ya, I bet the decision-makers responsible for implementing tech matters at Honda's , probably don't know that they are havin' a good thing going there with their GoldWing. So much so, they had had the (as U so-rightly opined) much appreciated 'Reverse' & so was another, the 'Cruise' mode, 2 key features, central to any touring bike of such considerable weight & dimension. Now howevr, are no longer available in the F6B, from evn since the dressed-downed GW (F6B)'s very introduction to the gen.public.
Speaking of wic, though on a little different note to this. Didja know, they likewise similarly lacked vision at not inducting the highly convenient & equally appreciated 'DCT'!! automatic feature on especially a long distance (custom created) specifically for far flung touring in mind comfort bike, such as the Winger. Instead made the erroneous mistake of putting the feature into a luxury, high-end Sports-Bike, as the VFR 1200.
An entirely wrong corporate tactical decision, if U ask me. Street legal Sport-Bikes are & will always be for only the hot-blooded, young ones(from an age of as early as whatevr the Law permits, legally), all the way to some who're in their mid 50s or evn around 60s. Who'd been riding hard all-while, possibly from since they were only in their early teens & accrued all the many fundamental experiences they now ave. Are by definition, the only ones who'd ride Sports Bikes & they are the ones who'd love the up-shifts, down-shifts, down by their left foot, as well as the timely grabs + releases of the Clutch grip-lever, from takin' on long stretches of hill road bends of the so-called "Twisties" switchbacks.
Certainly not what.., (the by 'em) some "Appalling!" automatic or the 'Manual Shift', transferred instead all the way to the handle bars & evn transitioned into being 2 buttons. Wic in essence, the enthusiasts of this ride-type segment, in entirety did not like the feature at all.
As what I mentioned earlier, these innovative automatic (or Honda's proprietary DCT) technologies are in essence by "NO" means at all an abomination by motorcycle sense & "They" (meaning all manufacturers , Honda alike) shud "NEVER"!!-Evr abandon this absolutely-remarkably amazing technology all too quickly. They but so-much need only be strategic to identify & know where, wic segment to apply this tech where It shud appropriately be. As the system is much x2 better suited only for long travelling, i.e. Super-Touring or Adventure (back "waters" roads actually) travelling, where This "Hassle-Free" feature truly stands-out to be an absolutely wonderful, no other like kinda experience or convenience. Leaving the rider(s(partner or his missus)) free to marvel at all the majestic natural wonders, God had created or evn to a good extent some imposing us-man made structures, like very high elevation, tall or very lengthy bridges or dams (just to name a few).
Tnk-U fer yer generous time & attention in the reading of this opinion piece. Ave a nice evening ahead, God Bless.
Looking forward to a proper sports bike review, new ZX-10R would be nice
what tires were on the bike as you rode dirt roads at a good speed? I ve never felt that sure on a Wing in the dirt with OEM tires
for you doubters out there these things are light on there feet and a rocket ship through the curves of North Carolina and the Smokey Mountains. Check out Yellow Wolf as the guy said on the Dragon
YW is a legend. Watch his videos then watch them again and be extra impressed knowing he uses a car tire on the rear!
No fatigue at all you say? That's a bold statement, there, sir!
Really looks like an awesome bike.
+MrSlowestD16 It is a sofa on wheels :)
+MotoGeo I would say it's more like a well padded barstool in the position you're forced into.
I went from western Kansas to Detroit,Mi. 1114 miles all in one day, no problems. No fatigue. Pretty easy. 2001 Goldwing.
Wow, I have yet to ride a Goldwing, been meaning to rent one. I rode the electraglide and although it was comfy it wasn't for me - I've had more comfortable adv touring rides. Curious how the Goldwing will be.
MrSlowestD16
I rode 2 15hr days with a 6hr beak..4hours of that was a nap. 1800 miles. This is my 4th Goldwing. Owned many bikes over the years, this is the best of them all.
got a chance to get the same year snd colour of goldwing
Older vlog but I couldn't resist adding a comment. That GW will easily get 40-43 MPG and not 35! I hear the GW constantly under rated on miles per gallon, why? IF...you rode in stop and go traffic for an entire tank then maybe 35; otherwise NO.
My new 2021 GW tour/dct regularly gets 48-55 !!! That is why it can afford to carry one less gallon of fuel. Good Rides
I think its a monster in cruisers. woah..... suppr cool motorcycle.....
How does the GW not have LED lights? Reverse should be standard on all GW.
I have the smaller brother to the GW in the CTX1300 and it has LED lights and ABS but no cruise/heated grips on the Deluxe model.
I have been thinking about moving up to the F6B because I want cruise, heated grips and a little more wind protection.
+Bill DeSha Reverse is standard on every 1800 goldwing, has been since they first came out.
Not on the F6B
@@BGD.2980 That's because it's significantly lighter than a 'normal' Goldwing.
i need this
Que preciosidad!!!
my favorite motorcycle
Can weight be a good thing on the open highway where high winds can be a factor?
+80hitultracombo Weight can defo help with cross winds, light bikes catch the wind easily, this bike didn't suffer, but weight also makes other things more difficult, esp off-road :)
Yes
I'm not being sarcastic when I ask this, at 900+ pounds why would someone be riding a motorcycle instead of driving a car of some sort? The heaviest bike I think I've ever ridden was a ~500 pound BMW and that bike was tough to manhandle. What I mean is if you were close to losing it, it was tough to countermand physics. At 900 pounds I would think you could only go slow or cruise, because if you are going to lose it, you're going to lose it. Any thoughts anyone?
Jamie, I really enjoy your videos, but could you start to mention the shortcomings of some of these bikes. They can't all be perfect can they?
+giff74 40 years worth of continuous sales and viability should tell you something.
I come from the repli-racer, naked-bike side of things so was originally warm to those older dudes on their "wings" with their old-ladies atop looking like they are sititing on their isolated thrones, then there was a demo-ride some years back, I totally fell in love with it. Still, not my 'natural' genre/class of mo'sickle. I actually find appeal in the F6B, but still have not made the leap from sport/streetbike over to tourer.
I'd suggest that whenever the demo-days come about, for whatever brand, and whatever bike, because it's free, do yourself a favor, even if you "know" you hate cruisers, or not into enduro, or whatever, just go, have an open mind, go get a free taste.
I also totally fell for the Triumph Rocket 3 as well after riding it, but just like the goldwing, I'm not quite done with sportbikes or have the space for extra bikes. Both those bikes are heavy, 800+ LBS, but amazingly easy to ride and balance. The engines are mounted low in the chassis and that makes all the difference I think.
Well said. He never criticises anything.
The thing is many gold wingers are switching to car tires because they mostly go straight
Sweet....
Honda titanic ..nice bike
Track review soon? ;)
130 m.p.h. max handling is good braking may differ form size shape and riding ability of rider (lol).
No wheelies?
Now we just need the K1600 review :)
And 'The Freedom Machine' film ;)
+mightlife Ha, thanks for the comment, sorry if I came across harsh before, appreciate the support :)
No problem man. I appreciate the apology.
Still waiting for the film though ;)
+mightlife Yeah me too, it has been my baby for so long, it is getting closer but it is a huge project (For us anyway!) and the final product will take a bit more time and $, we are pushing to have it complete and released before the end of the year. Best bit, it is different, involves a motorbike and hopefully is fun and enjoyable. If it is, we will do more, so please support us, cheer buddy! :)
Nice bike love u
I can drive my Wing at near freezing temperatures with my jacket opened up. There is just no wind behind that big fairing and windshield.
I have a honda varadero 1000
Super.
😊👍
are you sure that's a motorcycle and not a car missing 2 wheels?
The dollar signs just keep spinning every time I see one. But lets face it, its a Goldwing not a KLR 650.
Take off all those fairings and passenger seat and you ve got yourself a sweet looking bike
When you take down the video ducati monster 1200 r.
If the bike has fallen down, are you able to pick it up by yourself?
There are a few videos on youtube demonstrating how to pick it up. /watch?v=-8Er4FFEQ8I
Can you?
Couldn't tell, I don't own a Goldwing. I can imagine that it will take some effort.
What internet that show a normal man or woman can lift up a fallen Goldwing? This weight more than the HD copied version of Goldwing, because it's over 400kg.
im sure in the future fat americans will have to install goldwing picker upers on their motorcycles
รถราคากีร้าน
keşke benim olsaydı :(
ΠΑΡΑ ΠΟΛΥ ΚΑΛΗ ΜΗΧΑΝΗ
140k on my 1800.
I know it's probably very comfortable... but when it's so big and heavy that most of the things that make motorcycling is fun is removed, you might as well drive a car (cabrio?), because those are even more comfortable. And for $25000, you can buy quite a nice car.
+DoubleYouPee I totally disagree.
+DoubleYouPee Have you rode one? At 900lbs it does not feel that heavy. It is not a sport bike but you would be surprised how well it handles curves. I doubt most cars would be able to keep up around the curves. Check out the yellow wolf video on the tail of the dragon and tell me if you still think that most of the things that make up motorcycling have been removed. Btw, I paid less than 19k for my new 2014 Goldwing.
agree. I would buy a Buick Cascada or VW beetle.
+ Frank Vientos You are correct: very fun and surprisingly nimble bike.
cb? really?
GOOD NICE PICS., MAN.
A BIOLOGIST.
Pity.....no swimming pool and sun deck!!!!!
UUPBuy a car....you won't like it ANYWHERE as much as a Goldwing!(Right on Chris)
it is full on rediculous haha 👍
Stereo speakers built in the office-ish lounge seat, no wind, linear power...why not just get a car?
I'm not dissing cruisers, but some are just WAY over the top. Keep it simple and enjoy the ride guys.
Because it's still more fun and handles better than a car.
BassOutcast i guess thats your opinion. And i would probably agree but it rides so good.but most full dressers are 700-900lbs. But the goldwing is a torque. Monster so once rolling its fine
Like se sei qua per il tizio del Telepass
just get a car damn it
So why don’t you just get a small car you might get better lane splitting on it xD
with this price buy the car.
And miss out on all this fun no way 😂😂😂
So you can be a muppet...?
Amazing bike but it's top heavy !
It's not a review,. It's a infomercial. Go pound sand...
Well if you are excited about this, then buy a car....even a Honda. ;-)
+Sergio Desmo I have a car, and a Goldwing.
+Chris Caliente ha ha ha, i didn't thought of that one ;-)
check out my vids thanks.
+Sergio Desmo maybe all of user of this bike already have a car
Why would you want an 1800cc bike when a smaller displacement will do the same and with better fuel economy. That machine is suited to the States with their petrol prices, but no place for it in this country. Better off buying a car than one of those, sorry just doesn't float my boat, although it is a bit of a barge. LOL
IRISHROVER ride one, and you will know why people buy this thing
35mpg is still better than a lot of luxury cars.
That thing is big and is a real touring bike. But is is huge. Hell, I think I would get a partner with her own bike rather than to buy this thing.
Nasi Lamak, this thing is the best bike I’ve ever owned. Don’t knock it til you try it.
@@robclasen8158 I'm not knocking the bike. I'm stating a fact; it is huge and heavy.
