in this episode, two people that don't know their bikes, compare two bikes
I respect the work they put into the cinematography and editing, but the knowledge about the subjects is a bit poor.
TONIGHT........... Chase waves his arms around, Mnosity pushes buttons, and two motorcycles go broom-broom.
*cue the Allman Brothers Jessica song.
And on the next exciting episode: the Mercedes S class VS the Toyota Tacoma!
Got 6 minutes in and had to turn off it is awful. The constant inane chatter and trying to be funny was tedious, if you are going to compare bikes at least know what you are doing. Slow riding with both feet down, ok it's a DCT feather the rear brake in lieu of a clutch... BIG THUMBS DOWN FROM ME
Pretty much. Shocking knowledge. My kid brother knows more about these bikes. More research less chitter. It’s like power rangers presentation.
All this video is missing is Yammie noob and his crap adobe stock cutouts.
GW for touring and long highway stints. ADV for twisty roads and commuting. Both fill a very different roll and do it well, but comparing them to each other is almost apples and oranges.
I daily a 95 Goldwing that cost me $2800... so far, but I think the chat gpt intro might just have sold me
The goldwing is definitely a commuter!! I did it for over 2 years. I still do it when the weather is good I have a 22 goldwing that I ride daily
With DCT you can simulate the clutch by riding against the rear brake in slow speed maneuvers.
no disrespect but as a southeast asian, I would nail the maneuverability challenge effortlessly especially on those tight spaces.😂
If it wasn't for DCT, I'd go Goldwing for touring, but the CFM Moto for commuting. My new to me RT cost me $5K and I've done a 45 minute interoffice commutes with no complaints. Plus I love it on the curves.
Nice review keep up the good work fellas
I can't wait to watch this when i get out of work 😭
it is two totally different things being compared. however, it was a great success on how you all did it. hope you got to swap to see which one you did like. cheers.
Damn, the Honda Goldwing is a better bike than I thought, although I can't afford one, and I still want a clutch, impressive none the less...
GW is available without the DCT in a fully Manual transmission
I freaking love my 2019 Goldwing Tour. Only thing I’d trade it in for is an updated version with the radar cruise and blind spot monitor. I do wish it had more of a forward control option. The highway pegs you can get for it just don’t feel right to me. Other than that, it’s got what I want.
Commuting in the US is completely different to the UK where manoeuvrability is an absolute must which isn’t something the Goldwing has. We can lane split as you Americans call it
Did you ever try one? I commute with one every day and the GW is as easy if not easier in traffic than my GS.
Had my DCT wing for 5 years no problems commuting or slow manoeuvers oh I'm in the UK
@@mikejacks1939 same for me, i'm between Paris and Brussels, i find my GW non tour easier than my GS that is wider especially with the cases, i don't see the problem and DCT makes the commute even more relax
Goldwing for touring. In California you can split lines, so my little Kawasaki, Z400 or a Honda 300 R.
I've owned two Wings the 1984 aspencade & the 2012 A. it can be a touring bike, a cruiser, and a sports bike, just depends on how you want to ride it.
Awesome video 👍🏻👍🏻
It's like y'all knew I've been looking at Goldwing videos.
The ibex 800T has a quickshifter for both up and down shifting. Going from that to my r3 after I had gotten used to it was a bit weird since I had been riding my r3 for just over a year
I will take a GW any day of the week over an IBEX. To be honest I wouldn't own any CF Moto product, for a multitude of reasons. But even a Rebel 1100T(same price range, kind of the same role as GW) would be in my garage before an IBEX.
anything under 50 mile trip and city i go with the cf 800 if am going across the country or a long trip goldwing its what it was made for
Every time I see the aprilia commercial I think of motonosity
Classic “your mom” jokes. ;)
Great video gents.
Chase,
How would you pair the IBEX with the Pan American? Besides price, they are relativity the same in weight and seat height. Obvisouly, the HD would costly to maintain compared to the CF. However, if going across the country, there are more HD shops.
Which would you choose if money wasn't an issue?
Gold Wing. And it's not even close. DCT alone wins it. On a Gold Wing? Blowout!
Geez these guys blab….a lot.
It’s like, amaaaaayzing
it was your iron butt video that made me know how good ibex800 is as a commuter.
If you’re talking strictly commuting the DCT is a huge advantage. But I’ve ridden a DCT on my channel and I did not like it.
great buddy ride , thx guys
Only an American would think a goldwing is a commuter bike 😂
At least the americans have wide enaugh lanes to fit both a car and a goldwing side by side 😅
That’s because we aren’t “filtering” through crazy London traffic at low speeds. We’re “lane splitting” on a wide open highway at 90mph all day.
My IBEX has a Garmin ZUMO XT2 mounted above the TFT and is amazing for Navigation. It also pairs to my Cardo nicely and you can control the music from phone through the ZUMO... it's sick!
Dang! I gotta look into this.
That Goldwing only holds 0.2 gallons more fuel than a V-Strom 800.
So you basically compared a Raffaello truffle with a dog poop?
The goldwing does have a nice rear
This isn't even a competition. I don't know much about the ibex but it seems very similar to the BMW F850GS and I've ridden a lot of the F series bikes. I have also ridden a lot of the new style goldwings both DCT and manual. I commute on my bikes 4 days a week all year round and that's only because I have to drive my truck sometimes and before I bought that, I didn't own a 4 wheeled vehicle for about 6 or 7 years. That being said, I have a little experience riding bikes as a form of transportation and not just as a play thing...
The goldwing: The DCT absolutely sucks in slow speed compared to a traditional motorcycle and I personally hate the way they handle in general. The weight alone makes the goldwing a total turd for commuting. The only thing it is good for is crushing miles on the highway... But what do you do with your gear when you get to your destination? You can fit a helmet in the trunk of the touring model but I don't think you can get most full face helmets in the saddlebags. Rounding it out, I believe most people get low to mid 40s for MPG on the goldwing... Not great for a bike.
Since I don't know much about the Ibex, I will compare to my bikes. I have a 2012 NC700X with the full suite of Givi Trekker cases that is my favorite commuter and a 2015 CB500F that I love as an all around bike with the Honda saddlebags and a Givi trunk.
The NC700X has 166 liters of storage and I can fit all of my riding gear in any one of the cases which means that myself and a passenger can put our gear in the bike and still fully utilize the trunk and frunk. The CB500F has 96 liters of storage and can take all my gear in the trunk or two helmets, making it better for solo commuting and riding but still great. They both are right around or under 500 pounds even with everything on them making them an obvious choice over the goldwing in town. As far as fuel, I get 70-80 MPG on both in town and 50 with the 500 and 60s with the 700 on the highway like I ride normally for my commute, again not much of a competition.
Now, my biggest issue with touring bikes like the goldwing is heat. This is very subjective based on where you live though. I live in Florida and I have never sweat more on a bike than when I ride a fully faired touring bike in the summer so I generally don't go for bikes with fairings or windshields. If you live in the cold though, I do love the coverage to cut through the cold winter winds. I personally just deal with it with insulated gear in the winter here and I'm perfectly comfortable down to about 40 degrees, and then the heated gloves and snow pants come out.
You cannot seriously compare any Goldwing to your IBEX for cruising or any other machine for that matter it is the king of smooth mile crunching miles on pavement. An older Goldwing still has the fastest record through the tail of the dragon which is incredible.
The GW is a great bike but there is NO chance it has the fastest time through the Dragon.
i go for Ibex when it comes to commuting and parking it in secluded areas but some catnip intoxicated dudes will intend to scratch a goldwing would be like someone spitting on you 21 thousand dollar cash that you didnt even know who does it. dont leave highly expensive bikes on a public parking lot, or it will be a dream threatening choice.
Epic AI-shit is epic. Sweet idea to do that.
offcourse goldwing but the price is huge
So we are comparing 2 bikes.
Both built for completely different purposes.
Right…
not exactly. they are both suitable for long distance traveling.
@@knighthollow5023 lol ANY bike CAN be suitable for long distance traveling. Goldwing is made to eat highway miles. The ibex CAN do that. But that’s not what it’s happiest doing.
Best commuting motorcycle: Honda NC750X
Give me the goldwing

Goldwing .. Everyday all day
I have a 2018 Wing Tour 6MT and a 2022 Base MT-09. The Wing pretty much wrecks the MT-09 in everything but hooligan. The Wing has a tighter turning radius than the MT-09 at full lock and does fantastic with a run flat car tire on the back. Wing can be commuted on or cross a continent. It has the best non super sport bike brakes I've ever ridden. For those that say you can't commute in the UK on a Wing,,, BS. I've worked and ridden in the UK and the Wing would be fine in London or anywhere in the UK. Mine weights 840 lbs. wet and ready to go bags empty and it rides like a 500 lb bike. CFMoto nope all that are seen should be destroyed. I hated to hear Yamaha jumped into bed with CFMoto and you can see it in the new MT-09. I've bought my last new bike from the use to be great company.
Goldwing versus a chinese ADV bike? Weird comparison.
Suck it up and get a BMW 1250 😅
New GS1300 would be sick
@@JasonRidesmotoI need one 😔
Ibex 800 is one of the most worse ugly model in the list.
Blasphemy!! I give this channel a chance every year or so and can't finish one video.
Anything over 600 lbs for a motorcycle is just dumb. If it had 3 wheels, that would be fine, but on 2 wheels, no thanks.
Hmmm chinese garbage vs goldwing... Think I'd go with the goldwing of the two.
if you'd ridden the ibex, you wouldn't have said that.
@@knighthollow5023 Let’s assume that it’s a perfectly passable motorcycle. It’s still not going to be a tenth of the bike a Goldwing is.
Beyond that I’ve yet to see a single Chinese motorcycle that caught my interest enough to make me want to jump in the saddle. They all just look like budget versions of better Japanese bikes.
Unsubscribed due to this and it ain't even started 😂
Ok bye 👋
Managed 6 minutes and had to turn off it is awful. The constant inane chatter and trying to be funny was tedious, if you are going to compare bikes at least know what you are doing. Slow riding with both feet down, ok it's a DCT feather the rear brake in lieu of a clutch... BIG THUMBS DOWN FROM ME
I'm a longtime Chase fan, but had to bail on this video. Would it have killed the Nazi guy to spend 10 minutes reviewing the Goldwing's features? This is why I don't like Nazis! You need to read Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance. See you next time.
No! CF moto is better compared to KTM as they are the same company..... Never compare Honda to chinesium garbage! 😂
I think I'd prefer the one not propping up a communist police state's genocides and military advances. Could be just a me thing though.
My name is Jjeffff
I have both. So this guy is so clueless about the Goldwing.
