Is the Honda Goldwing the Bike for You? Should You Buy the Goldwing?
Is the Honda Goldwing the bike for you? Should you buy the Goldwing? Its a question I get asked a lot by viewers. In this motovlog I attempt to answer this by describing what its like to own a Honda Goldwing and how it compares to other motorcycles.
I do admit though, I might be a tad biased!

ABOUT ME:
My name is Mengy and this is my motovlog channel, Moto Mengy. I plan to upload a Goldwing motovlog every Sunday. I ride a 2018 Honda Goldwing DCT Tour but I rode Harley Davidson's for 25+ years before. I'm motovlogging with a GoPro Hero 8 Black mounted to a Bell Mag 9 open face helmet, no external mic! To me riding is wind therapy.
My goal for the channel is to motovlog Pennsylvania country roads while also motovlog exploring around America. I'll also talk about biker topics and such, probably test ride a few other motorcycles, and will definitely get lost and accidentally wind up on unpaved roads along the way.
Please SUBSCRIBE if you like my motovlog channel and LIKE any videos you enjoy! Thanks!!!

    You're killing me how you kept pronouncing Natchez and a few other towns. Tupelo is a great half-way point with hotels, restaurants, gas, Elvis and the downtown is cool. Vanelli's Bristo downtown has the best pizza ever!! In Alabama, around Tupelo and Jackson, you will encounter folks using the road to commute. Park Rangers have unmarked vehicles (trucks, cars, suvs) so keep that in mind, the fines start at $250 and go up. There has been some shady stuff happen on the Trace so if you stop, just be aware of your surroundings and those around you. Plan your gas stops before riding it. It is a great relaxing road to cruise. Some find it boring but others enjoy it. If you want to do 80mph, just take the interstate. Been traveling the road for over 30 yrs. Always be alert to wildlife. Deer do stupid stuff. Turkeys not much of an issue. Turtles and armadillos will cross the road. Seen horses and cows that got out of their pastures on the road. If riding, try to get off before the sun goes down due to wildlife. Very hard to see. People head deep in their smartphones are a problem. They will cross that double line.

I just don’t feel like the tiny crash bars the bike comes with are sufficient to keep the bike from tipping onto the plastics…. What do you think? Good idea? You know I like to do the slow speed practicing…..

    Yep! I bought a new Tour DCT Wing recently. Took two demo rides and all i could say is WOW!! I had 2 Harley FLHT's and an Indian Challenger in the past. Actually, I'll say the Challenger has a little better suspension. But, the whole overall riding experience of the Wing won me over. I've never been able to ride nearly pain free as I can with this bike. The neutral riding position helps me a lot. I became a DCT convert in less than 5 miles. LOL. I'm all about a quiet ride now and don't miss loud pipes! To each his own. I still wave at all 2 or 3 wheelers and have a great time. Some of my riding buddies are taking their first look at Wings now because of my experience.

    The Wing rides so good. It will be the best boring bike you have ever ridden or owned. Most like the DCT. But the 6MT is a much more engaging bike with a real slipper clutch that works. So if you get aggressive the 6MT is the way to go. Yeah the suspension is soft,,, Honestly to soft and no front preload adjustment. And the the damping and rebound are really poorly controlled through the modes. Even Sport mode does not firm it up. But the suspension geometry is utterly fantastic. The tech sucks and is horribly out of date with the navi audio system being pulled out of the tech trash can from their old cars. And the Bluetooth version was out of date in 2007. The paint is soft and thin and it has the worse air filter change in the complete and total history of the internal combustion engine. The frame is great,,, brakes like a last gen sports bike. It's underpowered but not drastically like a Harley or Indian. It's smooth and quite and easy on the body. They eat miles like a kid eats candy without destroying you. They are not perfect and Honda did cut some corners. Honda is not at any level the company they use to be. So don't pay Hondas asking price. Their not worth MSRP. Get one discounted heavily like I did and then you can start over looking some of the bikes shortcomings and enjoying what it is good at.

But with the DCT you get the sweet O.D. 7th gear....... Most riders dont get it the a paddle shifter is more fun the pullin in a clutch all the time and not have a clutch to worry about at a red lite or in bumper to bumper traffic is sooooo nice.

    So after only riding Harley Davidson bikes, you basically get on the Gold Wing and are a convert. I bought a Gold Wing last August, and I regret it. I did not have the opportunity to test ride, all the dealers said no dice. In fact, I did not even see it beforehand, it was still "in the crate". Mine is the base Gold Wing without the trunk, and has the manual transmission. I have ridden other brands of bikes. before and since. There are many things about the G Wing that piss me off. Fit and finish is poor, my saddle bag doors give me erroneous open indications frequently (even when empty). They also leak water inside when it rains or I wash it. The latches on the center storage and RH fairing storage are cheap and do open and close properly every time. Refueling the bike is a pita, if you try and operate the fuel nozzle at anything other than a trickle it overflows. The paint, mine is the matt finish in grey, looks like shit to me, would have preferred a gloss finish. Maybe I got a turd, maybe it could be fixed by a competent dealer, maybe it is just better if I unload this steaming pile and buy the BMW K1600 instead. The G Wing rides nice, the power is okay, but a bit low for an engine of that displacement, the instrumentation is good, the seat is good, and the fuel mileage is so so. As far as the sound goes, it is more of a Porsche 911 sound, the BMW K1600 sounds more like an M3. I do agree with insist on a test ride.

    With the longitudinal crankshaft, how does motor torque affect handling? Like a boat needs trim tabs at high power, why doesn't a gold wing? A gold wing wheelie might be difficult to pull off?

      I'd never try to wheelie my Wing, but I've never had any handling issues at all on my bike. Best handling bike I've ever owned by a wide margin.

      BECAUSE OF 2 THINGS WEIGHT AND A LOW CENTER OF GRAVITY. I AM GUESSING THAT A NEW GOLDWING WEIGHS AT LEAST 900 POUNDS

      They counter rotate the clutch and drive train to counteract the torque effect , not to mention the drive shafts annoying tendencies ... its wonderful

    Nicely done! I did a solo ride from Natchez MS (MI is Michigan!) to Tupelo before I headed home to MI. Yes, 50 mph can get tiring when you're on a touring bike that likes to do 80! I rode my '18 Voyager 1700. I may go back later this year and do Nashville to Tupelo.

      I still cant believe how cool the Wing's motor runs. I never ever feel any heat from it, not even when sitting in traffic on 100+ degree days, its incredible. Heck the radiator fans hardly ever even run the thing runs so cool!

    100% agree with you Mengy! The Gold Wing comes standard with a Reverse gear, a slow creep or Walking mode gear and a Center stand make this a very easy heavy touring bike to manipulate in tight spaces and out of parking spots. All of which a good looking equally as heavy Harley or Indian touring does not have. I’m on my 3rd Wing. (84, 96 and now a 22 DCT Airbag). It’s quick, looks great and Honda reliable. Love it! People tend buy what their groups are riding and not what they would really like to ride. Like the Harley sales folks like to sometimes say. Not many will tattoo a Honda logo. 😂 Gold Wings are special. Keep creating Mengy Mania!

    • @MotoMengy

      When I bought my Wing I thought I'd never use reverse because I never needed it before, but man is it handy. I wish Harley touring bikes had it, would help them out a lot.
