- 2025 GWM SOUO S2000 ANNOUNCED : The Ultimate Challenger to the Honda Gold Wing.@NDSTV425

Heralded as the Honda Gold Wing's fiercest competitor, the SOUO S2000 brings an array of advanced features and specifications that are set to challenge the reigning champion of touring motorcycles.

inline 4 cylinder you say? thought it was a boxer 8
Simplismente um espetaculo....Queremos que venha para o Brasil.
5:30, this bike is truly exceptional, it even rides backwards. 👍
So do the GW and they have a center stand
@@sadveryy4984 GW yes, SOUO no.
Can someone please tell me when it will be available in the UK?
Very nice.
In order for GWM to win or compete over the Goldwing, they will need to do something crazy to have riders switch. The business is there, but how it will be done is a BIG question. Would love to test one, as a Goldwing owner. This might be a killer bike, or garbage. The issue is zero info on reliability cause its a new baby. Not a simple task.
Every other Japanese maker tried to compete with the Gold Wing. The Yamaha Venture, the Suzuki Cavalcade, The Kawasaki Voyager and Voyager XII were all good tourers, but they came and went and the Gold Wing remains. It's hard to imagine that an upstart like GWM, with no previous experience with motorcycles, will create a better product on their very first try.
Well, if the Goldwings keep shrinking, Honda will soon screw themselves. The European Goldwing styling and small bags make the Goldwing not so appealing anymore.
Awesome motorcycle. ❤️❤️l👍🏼👍🏼💪🏻
When will it be available in the US
When will it be available forsale
Verán que con el tiempo va hacer venerada la Souo S 2000
Wow, goes as fast backwards as it does forwards.

My initial observation is that the Honda GL1800 DCT is far more elegant-looking!
I AGREE
The gas tank is under the handlebars, not really easy to fill up the gas. That bike really looks big and a 2000cc engine will make that thing really heavy. I wonder if we'll see that kind of bike in north America.
Big is good. The Goldwing has shrunk and is not so appealing to American riders.
Hopefully this will push HONDA to get off their rear ends and actually create some new innovations and add the upgrades to the new Goldwing that loyal customers have been asking for. Like a touch screen, more power, better seats, Home link, and A better stereo. Wireless Apple CarPlay, and better Bluetooth integration.
Oh, come on HONDA. Rise to the occasion and up your game. Give us what we have been asking for so we are not forced to buy this Chinese stuff.
Why not list price points?!
Watch out with all this tech... Especially on new Harley-Davidson... If it gets messed up and needs repairs your f**ked
v8 exhaust note. Take my money.
What V8 would that be ? it's a flat 8. Different sound.
If it sells in the USA for $12,000 to $15,000 it'll be a hit!
If it is in China, I think it is possible.
No not proven yet
Everyone seems to forget that Japanese bikes used to 'copy' other production bikes?
That's true but I don't have 20 years time to wait until china crap turns into quality
Yes but now they have over 76 years experience and the Wing is King for 23 years of that.
China lately is very bad quality and fake advertising. Look nice though! Lets see how ling the bearings last in that engine, or how strong the weld joints are under those plastic covers which should be the frame of the bike on display. Then the electrics!! The rubbish goes on and on.
Of course they had to go 8 cylinder and cooled seats and bigger luggage. Thats the hook.
@@joefoley4253 Have you researched the problems of the great German engineered BMW motorcycles, lately?
How about how far the slam-dunk reliability and quality champion Toyota and Lexus have fallen?
YOU are speculating when you can easily research actuality. WHY?
@@SmittyAZ "Have you researched the problems of the great German engineered BMW motorcycles, lately?"
Yes. And not just lately over the last 20 or so years.
Right now....don't buy German.
Now for your second question.
"How about how far the slam-dunk reliability and quality champion Toyota and Lexus have fallen?"
Eh. This is a motorbike video and topic. But yes quality in pretty much every motor brand especially since the EV rush ( and Covid , and 2008 ) has taken a dive. This is also the same in many other manufacturing markets. High end stereos etc etc.
But as you say "slam-dunk reliability and quality" should really be kept for most other brands. Not for just "Toyota". Especially as of late...Ford ( will they be here in 5 years ) and the two main south Korean brands along with cadelshack . The dirt they are churning out. Wet belts and low compression piston rings ring a bell?
Anyway....
@@joefoley4253 The smart money changed from NEVER get the extended warranty to, ALWAYS get the extended warranty.
I've had several TVs go out at two homes. They just send the new ones and say keep the old ones. I guess they expect it.
I'd trust my old Hyosung before that thing.
It's a blend of the Yamaha star venture and the Honda gold wing
Yep, exactly what I said when first saw it! Most importantly, it's a bigger bike for bigger folks as a lot of people had been hoping Honda would have done with the new GoldWing instead of shrinking it. More storage capacity, larger screen, adjustable seat. Apparently, these folks have been listening or watching Chris Calente a LOT 😂. If it proves reliable, dependable, have no bugs, or many, many recalls especially in the first three model years, and the service, support, and parts are available in the time of need. Honda will have a new contender ready for a title fight to take the belt. I'm just saying 🤷
@carboncopych4616 personally, I'm not a fan of the dct, I want shift my own gears. I do appreciate the fact that it has an 8 speed dct , now how about an 8 speed cable clutch model.
@@pastorjohnculbertson661 Also I forgot to mention the WEIGHT factor. Never have the dry/wet weight specs been mentioned in any of the video press releases I have seen to date.
EXACTLY IT LOOKS TO HEAVY
@carboncopych4616 I figure 850/890 lbs, my 07 road glide is only 768 lbs.
What about Apple Car Play
IT LOOKS TO HEAVY .
my 1984 Honda Goldwing Aspencade weighed in at 1120, with all the chrome and light kits I put on it. ( Heavy, I'm thinking more protection around you )
Leave it to AI to screw up what the engine is. Everything is going to AI and it will only get more screwed up.
Yes but now they have over 76 years experience and the Wing is King for 23 years of that.
China lately is very bad quality and fake advertising. Look nice though! Lets see how ling the bearings last in that engine, or how strong the weld joints are under those plastic covers which should be the frame of the bike on display. Then the electrics!! The rubbish goes on and on.

Really?? In line 4?? If that’s how Chinese statistics are presented, kind of makes you wonder about the rest of their stuff!!
I get the feeling this video is "click bait". The bike is real, but the stats have not been published. Someone show me a link to the stats claimed in the video. I could be wrong, and would like to be wrong. BUT, best I can tell this video is a work of fiction (based on real life).
Inline?🤣😂
No crash guards. Be expensive to drop
Most bikes, offer those as an option. $$
did I hear the narrator of this video say that this has an “ inline 4 cylinder engine”???
The thing that I am concerned with, is the front end design used on BMWs that has anti-dive single shot design upfront.. I had a BMW K 1200 LT with that front end design..
because that front end design was on that BMW, I dropped my BMW not once.. but twice in walking speed parking lots. When you tap the front brakes when jockeying around, trying to find a parking spot. Touching the bricks makes a weight transfer to the front end. When the bike has anti-dive like the BMW design, that energy from all that weight in motion does not go into the fork springs like it does on every other motorcycle with a telescopic fork. That Wade has nowhere to go, but making the motorcycle feel awkward and top-heavy like a wheelbarrow with a refrigerator in it if you have the front wheel turned even slightly. My BMW was the only motorcycle I have ever dropped since the 1960s when I was a beginner. Many times I barely held that BMW up at stops.. it’s not like that was the first heavy motorcycle I ever owned, I’ve owned a Yamaha venture royale for 16 years, 138,000 miles, never dropped it, I went to the BMW, dropped it twice, then I went to Yamaha royal star venture, never dropped it, then I went to a Honda GL 1800, never dropped it, wasn’t crazy about the perfect Goldwing, because of how buried everything is when you want to do simple maintenance like just changing the air cleaner.. I do all my own work, I used to be a motorcycle mechanic at three different dealerships years ago, the dealer charges customers over $600 labor just to change the air filter in the GL 1800 Goldwing. I thought that was ridiculous, until I did the job myself. $600 is a fair price. That thing is really buried in there.
so as perfect as the Goldwing is, and it really is, the thought of having something serious go wrong was alarming so I got rid of it because labor in a shop is now $130 an hour if I had to have something repaired on the road 1000 miles from home. so I went back to another Yamaha Royal star venture, which I have at this moment in May 2024.. it’s not as smooth as a Goldwing, it’s not as powerful as a Goldwing, but it’s roomier, and it’s more comfortable, and I can get at the starter, the stater, the slave cylinder, the water pump, even the clutch without removing any plastic on my Venture.. I like simple serviceable comfortable..
this motorcycle interests me. I am going to be closely watching for dealer networks to pop up here in the United States. Motorcycle dealerships have been closing steadily over the past 40 years ever since the Harley Davidson requested tariff on imported motorcycles… before the tariff, I worked in many of the motorcycle shops that were in my area, full-time, and later, part time selling motorcycles, evenings, and Saturdays February through May. There were 22 motorcycle dealerships within an hour of my home here in Western Pennsylvania. That number has been dropping dropping dropping since the tariff was enacted by Ronald Reagan the President of the United States in 1984, Dealerships are still closing, the market never recovered from that tariff. Two motorcycle dealerships within an hour of my home, closed in the last couple years. A Yamaha Kawasaki dealership, and the only BMW ducati dealership that I know of is gone now here in 2024..
there are actually only three dealerships hanging on within an hour of my home since the tariff 40 years ago..
usually a new line dealership is a dealership that’s already in existence selling other brands. I can’t see this motorcycle company opening a dealership just a standalone dealership. It has to be an existing multi brand dealer..
if there’s not a show room floor for people to go and test sit on the seat, there’s an old, saying, “unseen is unsold”.. that is true. Here’s an example of how I have experienced that saying.
in 2018, there was one Yamaha dealership nearby still opened. I asked when he was going to be getting the new Yamaha V twin Venture in. I was very interested. I gave him my number to call me when he gets one.
The dealer informed me at that time that they are pre-order only. They will only order one when someone puts money down on one. So here it is six years later, I still want to see one, I have never seen one of those new V twin Yamaha ventures. I have never even seen one on the street passing, I’ve never seen one at a bike night. I’ve seen more Ferraris and Lamborghinis than I have the new Yamaha Venture in person..
I have had many many dozens of motorcycles of all types, duel, sports, dirt, bikes, motocross, bikes, trails, bikes, commuter, bikes, sport, bikes, factory, Road, race, bikes, big touring bikes..
I am approaching 800,000 miles of combined accumulated mileage, just on street bikes, not even counting over 40 years of off-road riding..
i’ve tried the BMW, I don’t like them. They are too different, and too expensive and too flawed, I won’t go into all the flaws, including that weird front end that BMW has that makes the bike, top-heavy, curiously, no one has copied that front end design- until now..
this machine is not going to hijack the oil, Goldwing riders of the world, especially the Goldwing riders in Europe and France, especially. I cannot believe the gigantic thousands and thousands of gold wings that show up at goldwing gatherings in France. I just can’t see The wing dingers, jumping ship for this machine, at least not yet. I know there are Goldwing understood or not happy with the newest Goldwing model that has been out since 2018. two buddies of mine had 2015 gold wings that they traded in for identical 2018 gold wings. Within four months, they traded those new 18s in on leftover 2017 gold wings while they were still available. They liked the older ones, especially their wives, saying that the luggage and the seating arrangements for the passenger are much roomier on the older ones.
I’ll be watching, and watching all the videos I can find on this machine. I’m very interested. I was a motorcycle tire test rider for Continental tires at one time..
I would like very much to have one of these new motorcycles for a year to do a long-term test..
I have a feeling that this machine could be something special. With their target market being the Goldwing riders, they are aiming very high. I don’t think they would risk that amount of capital by rushing a motorcycle to market that was not capable.
this could be big..
We’d all be better off buying less chicom stuff.
Give me one for free,and I will test it to the best of my abilities and give everyone a review, just hope I don't need it worked on since there are no Dealers, maybe they can start like Tesla and then stop making charging stations so you cannot charge your electric vehicle
They have one of the largest dealer networks in the world! Many of the car mechanics have a motorcycle background and training. Don't see servicing being a issue and what repairs? For 100,000 km.
As a low volume speciality product a dealer will probably wait to book two on a day and call in the specialists as is done with other low volume speciality products.
Better off spending your money on a Harley
Apart from the engine configuration, this piece of junk is an exact and shameless copy of the Yamaha Star venture. The Chinese have absolutely no imagination of their own.
It's a copy
What a load of old rubbish the presenter knows nothing
Paid commercial from someone reading the sales brochure. Probably never even sat on a motorcycle.
Cheap components, 100 lbs more than the GW, no dealer network, weeks for parts from China, no history of reliability..... no thanks!
If their parts deliveries are as quick as Temu's, then you're looking at less than two weeks.
Keep dreaming. China's catching up , and at prices that won't make you choke 👍
Honda, Yamaha, Suzuki and Kawasaki were no different when they started
Yeah right. Buy a Chinese motorcycle. Go ahead.
BWAAAAHAHAHAHA...
If you do some Research you will find that the newer Harleys , Indians and Wings now have alot of CHINESE PARTS . I just bought my last motorcyle and I bought a Indian Chieftain Limited , and this is the 3rd one that I have owned . I have 4 other motorcycles including a Harley Heritage , a 1969 all restored to Mint condition Triumph Bonneville t-120 , also a ALL ORIGINAL 1979 Honda CB 750 K , The 10th Anniversary model with 7,000 miles in Show Condition , I have been riding motorcycles for more than 55 years , and had a lot of differant bikes . And my favorite is the Indian and the Gold wing . The Only TRUE AMERICAN BIKE THAT IS MADE BY HAND 100 PERCENT AMERICAN IS THE JANUS Motorcycle , look it up .
Chinese copy anything they want
Eishhhhhh ..
"Made in China" .. 🙄
No .. No .. No .. Soon , it will be broken .. 😂
looks nice but always concerned at any advertising that spends as mutch time bitching about another as it does repeatedly making claims that dont really amount to much beyonehey look at what we got, with no real data.
