    What a fantastic dealership. Last year I purchased a 2022 Gold Wing with Roadsmith trike kit installed. I live in Hawaii so I made the deal over the phone. My salesman, Bill Spearman, picked me up at the airport and spend several hours teaching me about the bike. My wife and I took of for a 6,000 mile road trip ending in Montana. Kyle Downey is great! Lastly, if you fly in leave yourself a couple days to ride the area, unbelievable. Nothing but good to say about Southern Honda Powersports. Aloha

    I flew from Albany,Georgia to Chattanooga to get my 2023 DCT TOUR. It was a great experience. The bike was prepared and ready to go. Bill Spearman picked me up at the airport. It took a little over an hour to do the paperwork. Everything matched the quote . No added hidden cost. I would do it all again. My Wing is awesome. Not one issue with it.

    Great video and great dealership! I did a group ride from Georgia to this dealership when the 2018 model was released for a ride event. I test-rode a blue 6-speed and enjoyed it. I September of 2023 I purchased my new 2023 DCT Tour from this same dealer after the easiest online vehicle purchase I could imagine! And I purchased at $1900 under MSRP without the motorcycle build fees I was encountering at dealers in metro Atlanta! Plus the Gold Strike anchor points were already installed on my new bike, free of charge, to make that made securing my bike to my trailer much easier and quicker! TOP NOTCH and worthy of level 5 dealer!

    Southern Honda is a great dealership. I purchased from them back in 2018 and traveled from Phoenix AZ . The process we easy and the sales group kept me informed. They had the inventory and the prices saved me thousands. Even with the cost of traveling to pick it up.

    Love your content! Kyle Downey is an absolute fantastic manager and director. I bought my ‘22 GW DCT Tour from him and traveled from Charlotte NC to meet him and buy from him. His prices are awesome but that doesn’t tell the whole story. His customer service and fairness in everything he works with is untouched by any other dealer in the U.S. in my experience. If you are in the market, if you have been thinking about trading for a GW… go see Kyle Downey! Great job Chris. Kyle, great interview!!!

    @RTC_TampaBay Před 4 měsíci +6

    Here’s what happened for me-
    After watching the podcast I figured I would see what Southern Honda could do for me on a Rebel 1100 DCT for Mrs RTC. It took a little effort and a couple of attempts to get a response from them-2 days these days is an eternity. Once I did get a response, way too much back and forth for something pretty cut and dry. After getting two local quotes from where I bought each of my Gold Wings, I asked for a out the door price, providing them with my home location to calculate tax and still got an X plus tag and title figure instead of a actual hard number.
    I your playing along at home and keeping score, that’s strike three. Although the savings may be there, it a 580 mile each way trip and I would say not worth it, IMHO.
    Enjoyed the interview, keep it up Chris! 💪🏻

    • @RTC_TampaBay
      @RTC_TampaBay Před 4 měsíci +6

      For those of you that think that comments on CZcams don’t get peoples attention, let me tell you why that is 100% not true! My comments here about my experience with Southern Honda were not an attempt to get a better deal, actually, it was just to share my personal experience. Apparently Kyle Downey read my comments and did something about it. I just got off the phone with him, on his personal cell phone, while handling a family situation, a few minutes ago and had a long conversation about my entire experience up to this point with Southern Honda Powersports, and he took a personal interest in what took place. To the point that he put together a quote for what I was exactly looking for in an attempt to make things right, not necessarily sell me a motorcycle.
      Bravo, Kyle Downey, bravo!

    Have bought 3 motorcycles from Southern and had at one time a working relationship with them when I was the District Director for the former GWRRA and did the TN yearly rally at the Camp Jordon. They are a great dealership and all fantastic folks. If I was in the market it is the only place I would consider. Thanks for all that they do.

    I bought my 2018 Wing from these folks as they were one of the first dealers getting the initial shipment of the new generation Goldwings. Great folks to deal with and the price couldn’t be beat. I trailered the bike back to register in my home state. I dealt with Bill Spearman and he was great and I highly recommend this dealership!

    Great Dealership! I did just as described in the podcast. I flew from Indiana to Chattanooga, my 2023 DCT Baggert was ready for me and I rode it 400+ miles down to our home in South Georgia. I did everything via email and it was a 5 star experience. They are a great group of people to deal with and also as stated, the price is the price. No BS charges.

  • @markman7
    @markman7 Před 4 měsíci +5

    While these guys must be doing something right by selling so many Wings, he's spot on about off-road focused dealers wanting to move Wings. Honda forces all their dealers to take at least 1 Wing, and dealers who don't want them will probably unload it at near cost. I paid $28,500 otd including 6% tax for my 2023 DCT Tour last Feb the day after it came in on my pre-arranged deal and they delivered it to my home. My nearest Powerhouse dealer in Michigan was over $32k otd.

    Enjoyed this episode. I like that Southern Honda posts pricing. In 2008, I was going to them (from Eastern, NC) to purchase a Level 3 GW. I took that pricing to my local GW dealer to see if he could match the price. Surprising they did. I always want to keep my money local if possible, but I was certainly ready to head to TN had things not worked out.

      I bought my 2021 DCT Tour in Ardent Red/Black from Dodd's. No offense Kyle and Southern Honda, but this was in late 2021, and finding them was TOUGH. Leon Dodd was able to find me a demo model with ~300 miles on it, and he gave me a considerable discount. I really like that place, and I'm sure I'd love Southern as well. Both do business straight forward and with transparency - that'll win my business every time! Great video to both Cruiseman and Kyle!

    Good video… 85,000 miles on my Goldwing switched to a BMW 1600 GTL… far and away superior engine performance & handling however the wing is superior on very long rides & two up. maybe someday ill be slow enough to ride a wing again.

    Chris, excellent interview for your second podcast! That was a great subject to discuss because I would not think to look outside my immediate area to shop for a new or used Wing or any other model. I feel pretty dedicated to my local dealership but if the difference is a couple thousand dollars then I'm all in. Maybe if you get the chance you could film part two and physically be at that dealership and do a walk-thru?

  • @flexjay87
    @flexjay87 Před 4 měsíci +1

    I got my first Honda mini bike in 1971, have purchased many bikes since then, and currently am still riding a Honda street bike. It is pretty well known, that Honda is playing the game a lot of companies do, and that is supplying motorcycles they want you to buy, not want you want to buy. Case in point, is the Honda NT 1100, which is only available in Europe/ Asia ( i believe ) , but not North America. The NT would be a good replacement for the ST series, but of course not perfect, because the NT is chain drive, so some would say, once again, if you want a sport/ tour type bike, you gotta spend big money for a Goldwing. Supposedly this is because marketing does not want competition with the Goldwing. They seem to want the high income earner only, when it comes to bikes for the street, that would qualify as a Sports tourer or a Tourer. Some would say, Honda has abandoned American customers , and variety, compared to the rest of the World.
