    We bought a $500 motorcycle and compared it to a brand new $50,000 Harley-Davidson to see if it's really worth 100x the price.

    Do a series where you put $49,500 into it and make it 10x what the Harley is. Similar to your old vs new Honda series.

    I have owned several new Gold Wings in the 80s and 90s.
    I currently own the CVO Road Glide in Whiskey Neat.
    I agree with y’all’s assessment of the two bikes overall.
    With 2 ½ million miles behind me, I feel a touch qualified to make a judgement.
    1. The HD suspension absolutely sucks - that’s why many owners are replacing it with far superior aftermarket brands.
    2. The price of the HD is astronomical - everything with the Bar & Shield emblem is jacked up too high,
    3. The accouterments are a definite plus on the RG.
    Only a few things to aggravate the owner:
    a. The saddle is a dud. I replaced mine with a custom rebuild which gave me copious amounts of joy,
    b. Electronics challenges (constant code alerts),
    c. All handlebar switches were swapped between left and right (takes a while to relearn),
    d. Nothing from the past Road Glides fit this new one.
    e. The four Wings that I owned and rode for over 300K, NEVER had a wrench turned on them,
    f. Among the twenty-two HDs that I had, EVERY ONE except two had maintenance issues ranging from drive belts to blown engines!!
    All of that being said, I’ll still keep my HD!

      Sonny Barger once said he hated the rule about having to own a Harley as a Hells Angel because he later grew to love the bikes that were coming out of Japan, and other parts of the world.
      However, he also said that it had originated as a way to support American manufacturing, as the club started post WWII when a lot of soldiers were coming back and working in factories. Not to mention Japan had been the enemy in the war.

The Goldwing is all day easy and comfortable to ride and will run circles around the heavy American. I noticed you weren't able to put the Harley in reverse... Also, I had to spend an extra $1,200 for the HD heated seat, which in retrospect wasn't needed thanks to the rear cylinder crotch cooking feature it comes with.

    If anyone hasn't seen a Goldwing ripping up The Dragon's Tail, make sure to take time and watch the videos. It's a big bike, but it can really rip through trails. Most importantly, you are comfortable while doing so. We had a guy with a ~2015 Goldwing that would ride with us on sport bikes and I was always impressed how well he could keep up. It did help he did amateur sport bike racing, but it's impressive seeing that big bagger on it's side scraping through corners.

      Harley-Davidson is running out of old men to pay as much as a decent new car for their 1950s bikes. Their electric bike is a failure because you can't hear it coming from the next county. I'd rather have the Goldwing. Quiet, runs like a sewing machine, lasts forever, comfortable, reliable, doesn't shake. It's a two-wheeled car. Just get on and cruise.

My last bike was my favorite 2020 Yamaha MT09. But that old ass goldwing is my 2nd favorite bike. It had 100k miles when i bought it. I literally would get friends to sit on the back and we could do a wheelie. If nobody was on the back it would do a rolling burnout. Bike was only a beast for its size and age. I drove tf out of it for a little over a year. Nothing ever broke on the bike it was fantastic to drive.

    Through the touring Package on that cvo, and you're ready to do an ironbut. I have a custom Motorcycle shop in Chattanooga Tennessee, and you're on two of the best selling motorcycles in my part of the country. The harley-davidson keeps the best resale value, but whenever you pay over 50 grand from the start. I just can't see how they're going to keep, anywhere near a decent resale price! But I've never bought a brand new cvo Road Glide ,and probably never will. The older twin cam bike's is what I deal with, but eventually I'll have to work on those Milwaukie 8's if I am going to stay competitive with other used harley-davidson shops around the area.
