Brilliant vid Bruce love it, Mrs TeaPot was a brilliant addition 👏
Cheers Chops!
Ha Ha, yeah she’s my version of ‘Mavis’ 😉😂
I second that 👍🏽
You have seen the light brother - welcome.......
I just bought one that looks exactly like Mr Flyers😁 It’s an unused 2019 bike so it was discounted. Question for you both - It seems jerky as I approach junctions slowly on occasions. I’ve tried a DCT reinitialisation, and it seems a little better, but not perfect. Any advice guys? Love both your videos👍
That’s exactly what I found Charlie, the down change at slow speeds - particularly on approach to roundabouts and junctions, was a lot jerkier than I would have expected.
Pretty much my only complaint 👍
@@charliewhittaker3057 I haven't noticed any issues but I'll pay more attention next time I ride mine and report back....
@@charliewhittaker3057 not the answer you are looking for but if you have to do tight u turns ie car park etc, then put it in rain mode,for better throttle control,with a bit of back brake
@@fab3226 yes, I tried that and I agree it makes the throttle mapping gentler, making it easier to be smooth. Thanks😁👍
"It's like someone's towel-flicked it *right* in the danglies" -- Best description of Sport Mode I've ever heard! :D
I went to buy an Africa twin.......but went on a Goldwing ride instead, now I own a Goldwing, and it's the best bike I've ever owned, or ever likely to own, I had Harleys for 20+ years but this bike is on another level for comfort and rideability. It's a Lexus on two wheels.
My Dad has had Harley Deluxes over the past 3-4 years. Same price, but the Honda is another level. Hopefully he sees the light soon.
I love how the enthusiasm just evaporates when mrs Teapot suggests going round the world together, proper 'yes dear' moment.
🤣👍
"A decent turn of speed" is all relative. For someone who doesn't ride a sport bike, the bike is phenomenally powerful. It scared me a few times. From a standstill it fires through the gears and reaches silly speeds in no time. Sport mode is crazy responsive. Too much for daily riding, but fun when you want to pass a string of cars.
"We can go round the world on this together".
Pause.....
"Awesome"
Well played use of single word discretion, Bruce. Well played.
That was the champagne moment right there..🤣🤣
Bloody hell, I hope you found Mrs Teapot on the way back😮😊
This DCT Gold Wing is a plush Lexus LS500. The torque on this bike starts full on at 2500rpm. Sport mode is other level for a bike this size. The 200 rear tire adds to the stability. A fantastic bike. The GSA still has the soul. Ride safe and ride often. Peace.
Love having Mrs Teapot along for company. Cracked up when she stated,"You can go as fast as you like", and then followed by "But you don't have to be silly". Great stuff Bruce, you make my day brother so thank you. A big G'day from Australia.
Thanks Andrew 👍
Great review in total. Pillion review was excellent really added to understanding the bike capability. Many thanks indeed. All the best.
Exceptionally excellent real world, no fluff, to the point review and the Mrs input was very valuable. Great team work. Many thanks from Canada.
Great video and assessment of the Goldwing. Great to also hear about the ride from a passenger! Keep up the great content!
I got the no airbag dct back in 2018 and love it,paid $24k with 8 years full warranty.
Wow 8 years!!! 👏👍
Love the video,good to see Mrs Teapot enjoyed the pillion ride. I have rented Goldwings on my USA holidays,they are lovely bikes to tour on. I use all the backroads as well. I rode my rental on the Blue ridge parkway and tail of the dragon. 😎🏍
not a single "MY GS..." wow that is hell of a progress, might subscribe again))))
Careful now, I mentioned all “the tractor” comments and he didn’t like it!
Great Vid Bruce, liked the addition of Mrs Teapot.
I had the VFR 1200 F with DCT, vastly underrated bike, put that in sport mode and it was more than a flick in the dangles, it was mental when I you pulled on the throttle and it kicked down the gears.
Get saving Bruce, the wife likes it !
Loved it. Great too see mrs. Teapot having such fun. Maybe the only bike I would swop my Harley for. But not yet, not yet
That was a so 24 minutes of fun, loved it!
Brilliant 👍
Great to see Mrs Teapot getting involved 🙂
Love her comments.......
"Yeah, get one...." and
"NATIONALS!" 😂
Top video Bruce 👏
Great review Bruce...especially the Garden of Eden analogy. Well done!! 👏👏👏
Nice to see MrsTP1 enjoying the experience. Many moons ago I worked at a campground in the BC interior. The Goldwings would come in packs, and they were usually great guests. Probably because going through the Rockies was a rubberneckers paradise! Cheers Bruce 👍
Absolutely stunning part of the world there in BC Terry, I’d love to go back 👍
Brilliant video Bruce, you and TMF around the UK on Goldwings. Prime time TV that.
Went back to watch this again . Really good video . Mrs T should have her own channel as she is just that brilliant. Listening to u and TMF I bit the bullet and bought one . The DCT is a bit tricky at times for low speed maneuvering as u have no clutch and rely on the rear brake . U r awesome but mrs T is super awesome
Great review Mr Teapot, it must be amazing to ride. I rode the 1500 back in the 90's and totally for the Goldwing thing. This must be lightyears ahead.
What a machine,amazing.keep your pillion happy,top box etc,makes them feel special 🤙
Not even a second thought I would take this any day over a Harley Davidson!
"don't be silly though"- LOL, ah, the advice from every pillion ever.
Mrs Teapot "nationals" 🤣 awesome 👍🏽
Apart from me when I'm a pillion 😁
Great real world review. So entertaining and informative. I laughed so hard so many times I think I had more fun watching than you did riding.
Need more of the Mrs. on the channel - love her commentary. Sounds like she is advocating for a new addition to the garage😊
Ha Ha yeah but she’s not paying!!! 😂👍
I'm glad you gave it a second look. I've been a GoldWing owner for many years and I consider them real value for dollar. They are a bit pricey for sure, but reliable as hell for hundreds of 1000's of km of fun. Safe travels. Nice video.
Cheers Mike 👍
Lovely to see the other half out and about with you enjoying the bike. My other half often says why didn’t we see more from you with pillion. All down to the bike as you mentioned. Maybe see if you can do the same with the RT or more 💙
This was a happy surprise to see 😁.
I’m just watching your RTW trip , as you know 😉.
You have a swedish subscriber , all the best you both / all three ( the dog ).
Thanks Ake 👍
This is the first review I've seen with a passenger. Thank Mrs. Teapot for her input please. It's good to know the handling seems the same with a passenger.
The luxury barge is amazing......the engine is seamless and oh so smooth........superb machine for what it's designed to do.
The laugh after she says don’t be silly 😈😈
Awesome vid mate 👍🏻👍🏻👊🏻
Your thoughts after a 1st ride on that bike highlight how it's almost impossible for joe public to make a decision on a bike after a quick ride at the dealers.
Exactly why we need to refer to you guys to get a proper feel for the bike longer term. Thanks Bruce.
Thanks bud,
Aye that’s been my experience a few times now when doing these reviews, and there’s no way I’d buy a bike based solely on a 15-30 minute test ride now.
I’m glad the vids are useful to some people 👍👏
Lucky my dealer...(like finding a needle in a haystack) lent me the bike for a entire day to ride and decide...he said at 9am just comeback before we close at 5 pm 🤔 i actually thought he was joking and he said no take it for the day no joke. 😮 After the ride on a 6spd and after he showed me around the repair area and introduced me to his mechanics that have been with him for many many years ...my new dilema was a 6speed or dct and what color?🤔
I went with a Ardent Red dct . Love this bike.
Now that sounds like a great dealership 👏👍
Just watched this one a second time; great review, thanks!
When Mrs Teapot shouted out “Nationals,”. Brilliant!
awesome Vid!, the analogy of "Towel Flicked in the Dangles" brilliant
It paints a picture doesn’t it 😉😂
I got one too since october 2019. A Pearl Hawkseye Blue DCT. Very pleased with it along with my BMW R 1200 GS LC 2015.
Brilliant review again mate love the outtakes lol 😂 really like this bike TMF has the best colour would love try the clutchlesss looks great for touring thanks for sharing 👍
My pleasure bud, glad you enjoyed it 👍
"We could go around the world together on that" 🤣🤣 Awesome. Nice review 👌 but I'm a few quid light on the purchase price.
Ha Ha, aye me too!
Cheers bud 👍
Had my 2021 Goldwing for about 6 weeks ,amazing bike in my top 3 of all time does everything so well and quality is top draw 😎👍
"Sport mode" = "towle flicked it in the dangles" 😂😂😂. Glad both you & Mrs Teapot liked it. Loved the ''Nationals'' squeak from the pillion seat.....
Cheers Rob, I genuinely miss this bike now🥺
Don’t suppose you know why the top speed was so low? Could it have been limited as it was brand new and not had the first service?
@TeapotOne Genuinely don't know, but I'll see if I can find out n get back to you chief 😉
Top man cheers bud 👍
You r videos r such a pleasure . I love my 22 Goldwing . I’m having the suspension redone in Atlanta by traxion dynamics . The better suspension eleviates the herky jerky when riding hard and fast in the performance setting
I had a 2018 and I can only imagine how this one rides, I used to say the same things about my. The more you ride it the more you love her 💕❤
I genuinely still miss that bike 👏👍
another excellent review, not the sort of bike for me, but its nice to see something a bit different....upstaged by Mrs Teapot too!! fab job both of you!
Dang nice ride friend. Your roads in your area are beautiful...that Goldwing Tour is a nice bike....
Love it that you had a passenger. Good job! Ride safe.
"A bigger beard "!! Oh my friend you'll pay for that!! Absolutely awesome vid!! Thank you from Cali.
New subscriber here. After watching this in depth and very entertaining review, I may have to genuinely look at one of these even though the AU$50 grand price tag is awfully steep. Been out of riding for a while and am itching to get back in the saddle and tour this wonderful country of mine.
Ride safe.
Hi Rob,
Welcome to the channel bud 👍
Great Video, enjoyed Mrs Teapot views of the bike. Not many wives would say, "I like it, GET IT." Now you have it on camera! Hopefully that will play in your favor. Be Healthy, Be Safe.
Ha Ha, yeah there’s video evidence for ever and ever and ever 👏👍😉
I am lucky enough to have six motorcycles at the moment. I picked up a 2018 Gold Wing tour from a customer of mine who could no longer ride. He only put 700 miles on it. I thought I might just ride it a little bit and sell it. But like you, it won me over. Now they will have to pry it out of my cold dead hands. It holds a line through a corner smoother and better than most motorcycles. I live near the mountains in Colorado so can easily get it out onto some beautiful curvy sweepers. The massive torque makes it effortless and deceptively quick. It is a technological tour de force, with incredible reliability. I enjoyed your video and hope the kind people at Honda will loan you the bike to take on a longer ride. If they had any sense, they would just give you the bike in exchange for these great videos which give them better advertising that they are doing themselves.
Thanks very much Jack, that’s very kind bud and I’m chuffed you enjoy the vids.
Yes this bike is just a fantastic experience to ride isn’t it. I genuinely miss it👍
Jack, you lucky man! We live on the SE end of the metro area. My dream is trade my CTX700 up to the Goldwing. My bank account has other ideas :P.
An amazing bit of kit 👍🏻 great to see Mrs Teapot 😊
Cheers dude!
She did like that bike 💵 💵💵💵
All because the lady loves a Honda Goldwing 😳🤣🤣
Great video as usual.
So similar performance to the big Harley tourers.
Thanks for this... love the accent... and love the interaction with the Ms... cheers from Texas USA
Fun watching you ride. Scary roads!
At 32k your vlog is as close to riding one of these Magnificent machines (And it is a magnificent machine) as I am going to get.
Very good, honest video. Honda have done well to reimagine the goldwing into something that isn’t just for going in straight lines 👍 Pity they’re so expensive
They're not if you buy a used one....
Great review. Now that restrictions have lifted I hope you Mr Fish and Dicky Vegas will go on another adventure ride.
🤞👍
Great video Bruce 👏🏻 & fab to see the Boss enjoying it two 👍🏻🏍👏🏻
Cheers Pete 👍
Great Review 👍 loveky bike if Glodwings are your thing. Great to meet you at Bmw Tunbridge Wells last week with my mate. Nice guy, love your videos , keep safe and keep up the Great vids...👍👍👐🏍🏍🏍👍👍👍
Hello David, was great to meet and chat with you too bud 👍
"this is better already, i don't feel like i'm on a bike" "i could sit on this all day" sold
Well, I understand what your saying about the pillion audio controls before Mrs. Teapot was planted in the saddle.😊
A mate of mine had a couple in the early days. Fantastic bike.
Does GS stand for “Gone Soon” brother? Don’t walk towards the light! Great review brother.
I guess the crisps were in the back box when you picked it up from Honda? 🤣 Another great vid Bruce!
I just done a mercy run for my elderly neighbour, we get his daily paper
Thorough and honest review, as expected. Mrs TeaPotOne was a refreshing touch. Would very much enjoy a longer road trip video on this machine. Perhaps a joint venture with TMF and your better halves on the two Gold Wings. I would predict massive views and more subs for both channels. And endless entertainment for us viewers. 👍🏼 😎 🇺🇸 🌎
Cheers Bradley!
Well then @themissendenflyer how do you fancy that? 😉
@@teapotone I'm in!
Best reviews on CZcams! Mrs Teapots awesome
🙏👏👍
Just fabulous, that engine noise, magic!
" towel flicked it in the dangley's!" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Great video Bruce, looks awesome what a beast
Thanks Peter 👍
Bruce this is the first incarnation of the Goldie I have ever looked at and thought I would have one of them .For me it's like the ultimate tourer mile muncher and styles just perfect the price is squeaky bum but wow what a bike I also luv the color of Andy's in that gorgeous blue .Correct me if I am wrong but also has a kind of reverse gear thing going on to, excellent review I hope ya get it for a longer time later on, like ya said that would be good .Cheers : )
Thanks Malcolm,
Yeah it has a creep forward and reverse gear, I actually demo’d it on film but for some reason I’ve edited it out of the final vid 🤷♂️🤦♂️
It really is a great riding machine, can’t recommend you try one enough 👍
...of course my blue one is better.....
It’s also got “backlit handlebar switches” for night riding and how about that horn?
I can tell you the GW is very stable when hitting a coyote. As long as it hits the front wheel and doesn't go under, you are good to go. Unfortunately, the coyote probably won't live and the motorcycle will suffer $20,000 dollars worth of damage when it cracks the engine case and rips off every piece of plastic and smashes the muffler. Alas, my 2018 is totaled and my friend ended up in the ditch as dinner for a bunch of buzzards. Lucky me, I drove on home and didn't think anything of it until the next day when I saw how much damage had been done. Thank you baby Jesus!
Thank You SO Much For This Nice Review
top informative review, video image quality is great too 👍
Thanks bud 👍
What a beast of a bike - first bike I ever went on as a pillion as an at about 8 year old in Canada on my cousins bike. Think the spec might have changed a little since then though!
"I like it. Get it." - she's a keeper!
Top job bruce, keep em coming.
Cheers Dave 👍
First bike video I've seen...think I'm sold on the goldwing.....
Ha Ha thanks bud, it’s a great machine, so much better than I thought it would be! 👍
Smashing video !.......More Mrs. Teapot, please 😍😉.
Thank you for posting. You can get the bike, wife as pillion, attach a trailer and you are ready for your new around the world trip. :)
Took one on a test ride thinking i want to tour Europe on one of those. My conclusion was yes i would like to do a tour on one but not own one. It was a bit unfair as i jumped off my ZZR1400 onto the Goldwing. It helped me on my sports touring learning curve in terms of wants and needs...........I finally ended up with a 2020 Superduke GT of course a million miles away fromn the Goldwing but driving that helped me to decide what i really needed
Loved seeing the 2up part of the video :) Can you do one like that with an RT?
Thanks bud, not sure if I’m getting the RT again, if I do then I’ll try to get Mrs T out on the back 👍
You're Misses is adorable. You two are amusing. Good looking bike. Good ride. Cheers!
Great video Bruce especially Mrs pot buy it no it’s completely comfortable buy it lol love it stay safe buddy 🤣🎉
Great video. Looking at picking one up.
masterstroke bringing the shepot with you on the pillion bruce! I've even showed it my missus who like your good lady will pick and choose which bikes she goes on the pillion with me. Always down to the comfort and feeling of safety for the passenger.
😂😂😂 Shepot
Thankfully Mrs Boulder NEVER wants to go pillion.....
Love to see you and Mrs teapot on a Harley Davidson Ultra Limited.... Just for comparison.
Good job, more GW vids please
Great vid, Mrs Teapot "me phones ringing" Sounds just like Mrs Yorkshire Chap. Awesome Bike, Prefer it in the Blue though that TMF bought
...it's a matter of taste you see...
@@TheMissendenFlyer what’s your take on the mentioned top speed?
@@ThatYorkshireChap I've never tried mine flat out so have no idea! Like a Rolls Royce, it's "adequate"!
You know m8 after getting knocked off my bandit a few months ago I had really lost my motorcycle mojo, I think I told you about it. But after buying my GS I honestly can't believe what I'd been missing all these years. It was comfort 😃👍👍
I've never wanted to ride as much in the last 30 odd years as I do now on this bike. Maybe if I ever win the lottery I'll buy one of those too. But only in a few more years 🤣🤣👍
That’s great to hear bud, glad
You’ve got the hunger back 👍👏
Enjoyable video, looks a fabulous bike. Take care and stay safe.
Cheers Steve 👍
You're welcome
Great video. I'm waiting for my 2023 Goldwing which is going to be delivered in March of 2023. (Ordered Nov 4th, 2022) I am totally excited.
Awesome, what a fantastic machine 👍
@randyshoop3214 Sorry for the slow reply. I've never ridden a Goldwing, but I figured it must be way better than most of the bikes I've ridden in the last 40 years. My worst bikes was the Harley V-Rod 1250 and Honda Rebel 1100. Both similar in looks and comfort. No wind protection, horrible seat, and very uncomfortable to ride for more than a couple of hours.
Enjoy your new dog. What ur getting. We got a pup back in December. Best decision yet. Good vid by the way
Thanks bud,
She’s a bit of a mix - the dad is a Greek Mountain Shepherd/Mastiff cross, and the mum is some kind of hound/beagle farm dog mix 🤪😂
She looks beautiful though and we can’t wait to meet her very soon 👍
@@teapotone ours is a bit smaller, cross with Jack Russell and Shih-Tzu. Jack Tzu when she’s good and Jack Shitt when she’s not 😀
You haven't gone all TMF until you're wiping your visior clear with fifties 😂 great video Bruce.
😂👏👏👍
😁
My mate Nick bumped into you at Motorcycle live. I’m the guy he told you about that went a bought a new Goldwing Tour DCT after watching your review. So it’s kinda your fault but you are forgiven, the best money I’ve ever spent 😉
Ha Ha hello Dave!
Chuffed you’re happy with it bud, really is a fantastic machine 👍
@@teapotone it’s great, although not sure it has enough torque. Might need a Rocket 3 to keep it company 😉
great vid Bruce!
Cheers Graeme 👍
