Darkside: Car tire on the back of your Goldwing. It tears the community apart and is most certainly worth a video.
Ryan F9 did a video on this on the Fortnine channel.
My question is will your insurance cover you if you're rolling dark and something happens?
@@Coldwarrior7781 insurance covers negligence, that’s why it’s so expensive
My 2015 F6B has completely changed how I ride. Longer distances, and so much comfort and smooth performance. And I have more HP and torque than 98% of the Harley's out there.
I actually went from a 13 F6B to a 22 Pan America.... Miss having the 100% peace of mind in the bike.. but so far so good!
I am the same age as the GoldWing. It's aged much better than I have. It's a great ride
Yes I want heated grips, a nice soft suspension, full body wind protection, shaft drive, cruise control, chair ergos, a large comfortable 2up seat, ABS, and DCT. A Wing is the only option and if I find one for the right price I’ll jump on it.
It sounds like you just described Lexus.😁
@@kenbowlus2995 Pretty much! But a Lexus doesn’t lean like a Wing.
You haven't seen me drive. Lol @@greatbigeye2506
@greatbigeye2506 exactly! I just took my Goldwing on an 80 mile ride, mostly on canyon roads. It may not be quite as thrilling as my Thruxton R, but it's WAY closer than any normal car could be.
@@kenbowlus2995 I have both. The Wing is thirstier but far more engaging.
I recently met a gnarly old hippy on a mid 80's Goldwing. It had over 600k miles on the clock, still on the original engine and never had any real problems. Most of the miles were done in Europe and Africa so they weren't easy miles
The Goldwing is my ultimate bucket list bike, I don't think I could ever afford it, but if I could, I would buy one in a heart beat.
Older models are completely affordable and most are in great shape since the engines are bullet proof and their owners meticulously maintain them, mine included. I'm sure you could find a 2010-12 for around $10K.
Dude I got a 2002 for 3700. Buy one. They run forever
Great vid man. Still riding my ‘83 GL1100 Goldwing. 105k kilometres on the clock and runs like the day I bought it.
Love my 2013 airbag GW. Moved from a zx14r and really appreciate the touring benefits of the GW. Not as fast or as powerful but then again, I never used that power much anyway. Zx14 was fun at the start but that massive power became less practical over time.
I have a 2018 GoldWing, my wife and I took it on a 3500 mile trip Tx to Key West. Awesome bike wanted one since I was in my 20s.
❤🎉 can we be friends, I'm also a bike girl, you sound interesting.
I have a 1977 GL1000 on the road still, love my wing.
Just purchased a 2018 non-tour manual with 986 miles on the clock! Sorry I waited so long to try a Goldwing. It is an incredible bike. I'm 77 and wish I had done this 20 years ago.
❤🎉 can we be friends, I'm also a bike girl, you sound interesting.
The latest gold wing is a magnificent machine.
If I had too much money I would definitely own one.
I was never really a fan of the gold wing. But, I have wanted the new generation since it came out in 2018. It looks so much more sleek and the new front suspension is trick.
I occasionally fall a little bit in love with early Goldwings - the naked bike style ones.
Consider the late nineties Valkyries too!
I still have my '86 Oldwing Aspencade and it's still a great touring bike. The '78 I had before it had the lockable luggage system that I really miss.
I had a Road Glide Ultra. Traded it in on a Goldwing Tour DCT. Very happy with my decision. 30k miles in the first two riding seasons (Minnesotan here).
Love my 1985 GL1200 Aspencade. Fresh rear suspension, air preload still works, stainless braided hydraulics. All systems in great shape. And, the big bike can dance the twisties.
A member of our club bought a early Goldie as a young man traveling Europe sadly he passed away a couple of years ago but his goldwing is still running with over 900,000 miles on the clock
❤🎉 can we be friends, I'm also a bike girl, you sound interesting.
I want the GL1500, it has the largest storage of all the models.
Rear light's from a NSX on the Wing. Class. A mate of mine had one from 1995, didn't ride it for 18 months and decided to sell it, started 1st time and rode perfectly.
You are awesome for bringing history of motorcycles to us the people.
Love my 04 GL1800. Put around 4500 miles a month on her
I've had a 1978 GL1000 since 1990. Rode it across the country twice and still take it out 2-3 times a week to work.
The Gold wing is a jack-of-all trades machine.
I've got a 2005 Anniversary Edition Goldwing and it is a delight. Every time I ride it, it impresses me. How a big bike can have so much power and deliver it so smoothly is wild.
Got the same bike. 30 year Anniversary. I test rode it for about 30 seconds and I immediately understood why nobody wants to sell or trade thier Wings away. I rode it home after the drive.
❤🎉 can we be friends, I'm also a bike girl, you sound interesting.
I had a 2004 GL1800. I put 70,000 miles on it in 6 years. Most comfortable bike I've ever owned. Very powerful too.
❤🎉 can we be friends, I'm also a bike girl, you sound interesting.
You do alot of Miles you should get the Henry's Final Drive😅
I bought a2023 F6B after watching your other GW video. 9,000 miles on it so far. I love it!
That flat 6 is a beast.
I have an 01 1800 after 10.000 ride 15 hour a day there was no fatigue never let me down
poring rain and high wends and thru the mountains of BC Canada and beyond still runs perfect today
at 281.000 miles 0ne new tire and lots beef jerky water all good😁😊😉
❤🎉 can we be friends, I'm also a bike girl, you sound interesting.
@@Yvonnemorgan2020 ok but I'm a guy
281k thats freegan amazing. Any engine work at all, same alternator?..I have the the '07 with only 14k mi😅
I love both my goldwings! I have a 2016 f6b and a 78 gl1000. Both amazing bikes and have no real rivals for comfort and power.
I had a2013 F6B , loved it, I'm riding a 2021 Africa Twin Adventure Sports ES , fun and fast
Damn I completely forgot about Harley Davidson. It just shows how insignificant they are to the point I forgot they do a version of a touring bike. Personally, I couldn't think of anything worse than a loud, misfiring, vibrating, heavy, unaerodynamic, slow, expensive bike to buy.
yeah, but those Harley's got that American, macho vibe. A lot of Harley Davidson riders frown on those rice burners for some reason. Good luck trying to join the Hell's Angels on a rice burner.
@strangeuniverse1199 Why would anyone want to join the Hells Angels? If I wanted to hang around a bunch of old boomers wearing leather chaps I could find them on the over 60s filter on Grindr
Well if the Hell's Angels are not your cup of tea, then there are the Mongols, Hessians, Vagos and Pagans to consider. In all seriousness..... all nine bikes I've owned have been Japanese bikes. I've never even ridden a non Jap bike. I would not mind owning a new Indian M.C. or a new British twin. There are way to many M.C. deaths in my area, it just gives me the creeps hearing about them in the news all the time.@@ilikelampshades6
@@strangeuniverse1199 macho? Bahahahahaha Harley Davidson and bud light? Macho???
They are woke......
I don't need to be macho.....
not gonna lie the new GW's look pretty freaking sweet. Cant afford one, but would like to own an older one some day. Im only 28 btw, and no kids, and generally prefer metric cruisers or sport bikes. So the goldwing has definitely left a mark on all kinds of different motorcyclists.
7. Lol. You should do a kawasaki voyager. Got a 1986 I rebuilt myself and love it. My daughter calls it the 2 wheeled recliner!
Love my 2019 Goldwing
I just bought a 03 kawasaki voyager xii because I wanted something like a goldwing, but cheaper got it for 1700$ with 50,000 miles thing's awesome.
Got a ‘77. Smoothest machine I’ve ever ridden. These bikes have no competition.
I love my Wing. Can ride her all day and not be sore. If you know, you know.
Yup. I have a '14 with a stock saddle with a Utopia backrest and I can ride all day for 600 miles, get up the next day and do it all over again.
For a 14:02 min. Gold Wing video, you spent a lot of time (1:22min.) extolling the virtues of the K1600 GT !
I am 68, had a 2004 R1150RT for 68,000 easy-riding KMS.
At this age I won't be buying a motorcycle again. I have a 2 year old Made-in-India Yamaha FZ25 doing 12,000kms, which does all I need to do.
One BMW in my lifetime is enough. Enough niggling things going wrong. Worst bike I ever spent money on. And yes, I do have regrets.
Yes, I am a Japanese fanboy !
There is NOTHING, like the Japanese machine !
Found a barn held 1980 GL1100 with 20k miles on it, im hoping to get it running after a single carb conversion

I ride a 1987 GL1200 Interstate. Still a fantastic bike today.
i drive my brothers CBR250r and it has been running perfectly from the past 9years
Hilarious how goldwing hands down beats that bmw on looks. Thing is slick.
Indian has a good looking touring bike. Similar to harley but better in my opinion.
I liked my 2019 manual Tour so much, I bought a DCT too!
The new blue one is simply gorgeous.
Gave my Harley to my Son. I am now riding a 1500 Gold Wing and love it. Blows the "doors" off my old Harley while being hundreds of pounds heavier. 😊
I saw one of these Honda Gold Wings when they first came out in 1975. Some young marine had one with his wife or GF sitting behind him. The bike was so quiet. I wondered why they would put an ultra smooth engine suitable for a small car in a motorcycle. Some guys had mechanical problems with those early Gold Wings, engine overheating and other assorted complaints. I heard of one guy who bought one of those first Gold Wings back in 1975 and his bike was an absolute total lemon. It spent more time in the shop being fixed than it did being ridden.
The first Honda Gold Wings sold for $3,000 new
All major brand motorcycles incorporate to one degree or another variety of automotive components. Honda, being a major auto manufacturer, is well situated to take advantage of this synergy. And since it's in house, it's well suited to benefit from the economics. Even Harley-Davidson, with it's historic relationship with Ford Motor Co. benefits from the automotive crossover.
@@strangeuniverse1199 jeebus
My best friend from high school bought a new '74 Gold Wing. He had scraped together his nickels and dimes until he had the $3,000. It was awesome in its day. I had a '72 XS-650 Yamaha. We used to race each other from stop light to stop light. Of course, the Gold Wing would spank my 650. His bike had cool features like dual front disks and a drive shaft. The only problem it had was blue smoke at startup if the bike was left on its side stand. Apparently, some oil would leak into the cylinders on one side. He always had to remember to use the center stand. Then the exhaust didn't blow blue smoke at startup.
Dude - there are not just Goldwings on the road from the 80's. I ride a first gen 'wing from the 70's. Super reliable motor and a great overall bike. I am not alone either. There are a great many GL1000's still on the road across the country.
I had a 1976 with a Windjammer 3, bags and a luggage rack on the back that would easily hold 175 lbs(we tested it). The latest goldwing will replace my MT09 when I retire and have more time to road trip.
EDIT: wheelies! Yes the original Goldwing would power wheelie. Scary if the road turned though, flexible handlebars didn't help
❤🎉 can we be friends, I'm also a bike girl, you sound interesting.
@@Yvonnemorgan2020 no, but thanks for asking.
I have a 2010 GL1800 and love it!!
Would you recommend a gold wing for a first bike
Lol, I got an 81 gl1100 I've been trying to get running. Saw this popup and got curious
Love to see the middle weight sport tourers.. such as the likes of the yamaha tracer, Kawasaki verseys
Yommie needs to do a serious distance ride on one to convince me this is worth it
I have a 07 919 that I bought almost new. A 19' Africa twin I bought almost new. I want a brand new Goldy but I'm only 38. Can this thing achieve a dank nooner???? Wheelies are a must for me and comfort for my wife. Please chime in if anyone has rode out a 1-2-3 on the rear tire of a gold wing.
Wheelies ain't a gw thing dude. They are very linear with power and the front wheel never lifts off. Try a sports tourer if you want that
6:06 ... Naturally it's some shirtless dad taking the picture... 😂
can you do a video about the new 2024 Kawasaki zx6r it got a upgrade in tech and design but lost a couple ponys day 1
❤🎉 can we be friends, I'm also a bike girl, you sound interesting.
I like this generation wing. I need to test ride one
The gold wing was the GOAT of cruiser bikes of all time!!
Let me fix that for you.
"The gold wing IS the GOAT of cruiser bikes of all time!!
There ya go.
Video idea…. what’s the status of the motorcycle market new and used, I see a lot of new inventory in the stores and I also see the used market with extended days on market….
My Goldwing looks identical to the blue 1 at the end of the video.
Goldwings are the best motorcycle ever made
As far as Yamaha touring what about the 2018 + Venture and eluder models
we call my friend Mongo's Gold Wing "The Star Ship Enterprise" because of all it's bells and whistles. it's gym buff twin, the Valkyrie is a monster. it destroys rear tyres for some strange reason??? like a VMAX but better.
I have an '85 wing. This bike holds its own very well. The only thing wrong with it, is it's ugly! Lol I love it.
I bought a 1975 GL 1000 new and now have a 2003 Valkyrie 1500C f6 standard! The Valkyrie is even better...
the Gold Wing's gym buff brother the Valkyrie is an absolute monster. very, very rough on back tyres. not sure why? lol. Like a VMAX. i would love one but in OZ dollars they might as well be $400,000 at the moment. how do these compare with the FJR1300? BTW. Mongo's Gold Wing has 780,000 kms (almost 500,00 in freedum units) on it and still doesn't use oil.
I want a 3/4 scale touring bike. Like can i have an 800cc with touring suspension that's NOT an adventure bike lifted out the roof. Like i rode a BMW R1200RS the other week and it rode amazingly. But i don't need the huge boxer engine, I'd be fine with just an 800 or so parallel twin and keep the weight under 600 pounds and seat height close to 30"
Yamaha Tracer 9 GT or GT+ maybe? 890 cc (triple), 117 hp, 68 lb-ft, 492# wet, 32.2" (low) seat height, includes side cases.... This seams to meet your criteria other than the seat being a bit over 30", and it is still much lower than most of the seats on the tall ADV bikes you referred to. Plus, that CP3 engine is sweet.
Find a Honda pacific coast. They don't make them anymore, but still can be found used. I had two of them. Loved them. Just a baby goldwing! 😀👍
I’ve got a nice 2011 c50t I’ll sell you
The new generation goldwing has outstanding real-world gas mileage. Have heard of many cases getting 40-45 us mpg
Given the massive 1832cc, high weight, flat 6 and shaft drive, that's incredible efficiency
Mine is a previous Gen and I average around 41MPG on the open road. About 38 city
@wingandhog thats quite good
I see many that get more like 40mpg and less. Some even go to 33mpg and lower.
Thats one of the reasons why I will not change my NT700 for a 1st gen GL1800. Yes. 25L tank. But at 40mpg and maybe worse with my riding style, it results in less range than my 19.7L and my 45-50mpg
@@someguy9520 No doubt. I think the mileage results depends on how someone rides. On the open road, I usually clip along around 75-80mph and am not typically hard on my bike. Usually for most Wing owners, gas mileage is not a major consideration. Comfort and dependability is. But getting 45-50mpg is excellent for your bike which is also an excellent machine.
@wingandhog with the NT700, it kinda doesn't. If I baby it, i get my 4.7L/100km or 50mpg. If I constantly go on the highway with 160-170km/h or 100-105mph, i still get 5.6L/100km or 42mpg in the worst case
On backroads, i don't go any faster than 60-80mph, I ride with a heavy right wrist, but i also use a lot of engine braking and ride with momentum
I get that many don't care about the mileage, but paying between 6.8$/gal to 8$/gal is very expensive for 15,000 miles per year with that mileage. Dependability is ridiculous. Locally, they have 170.000miles and still charge 10.000$.
The only bike I would change my Deauville for would be a 2018+ DCT Goldwing with all the options. All other bikes just don't offer all that much more from purely touring aspects, especially for the money. My NT700 cost me only 3700$
@@someguy9520 …that is ridiculously expensive. I get that. Are you in Europe? That would explain those costs. Here in the USA where I live, we pay $3.20 USD per gallon. It was $1.85 prior to Biden
Goldwings will run for at least 200,000 miles
I liked the part, when he talked about the Goldwing! ;D
I can't wait to turn 50 and buy this and go cross country w my future wife.... I'm only 28 rn tho so catch me on my ninja 400 at the track baby!
I really don't understand the whole rockform phone mount thing. Just enjoy the ride, unplug for a bit
The Goldwing is expensive. I rationalized it by thinking, it'll be the last bike I'll need to buy. And the value really hasnt dropped. A used 2018+ will cost between 20-25k.
You can get an '18 Wing for $16-17k now
@@seatime674 I saw a few non-tour models for about $16k-$17k but there are lots still going for $20k+. Cycle trader is a bit hit or miss on pricing.
I bought my 2018 a little more than 2 years ago and paid $26k for it. My point still stands though. If someone buys a Goldwing, in 3-4 years, the bike will still be worth close to what was paid.
The only disadvantage of the Gold Wing is that it is an absolut horror to work on. I work for an aftermarket suspension manufacturer and last time my college had to install a new damper on a Gold Wing, it took more than 6 hours and in the end some electronic feature did not work anymore.
Love my 95 Gwing yeh yeah
can we get a video on the best sceneic drives for motorycles
There are plenty, just search...
loved this video.
God bless Japan. No one adopted capitalism like Japan. Japanese industry said, "Hold my Sapporo!"
Honda Goldwing: we was kiings and shit
Wouldn't trade my 2018 GW bagger for anything else.
If you didn't stay for the end...🤣
my 95 k1100rs (bmw) has over 60k known miles, I got it 2 ago for cheap, It had been sitting a year or 3, some new transmission seals (clutch and shifter), a new fuel filter, and 3 valve buckets changed, and I have put over 15k miles on it commuting and traveling! insane cheap reliably, pretty quick and stylish (lots of compliments) but I'm absolutely getting a gold wing if I can't afford the k1600, I'd trade a kidney if anybody is interested!
Get rid of it !
There is NOTHING like the Japanese machine !
How can you find fault with a model of bike that simply will not die?
Even though I'm more a Kawasaki guy, I have the ultimate respect for Gold Wings; many of them have more miles on them than people's cars.
Long live the King. I had two...
Yes please!
13:41 whaaaaaaaa?
Ran to the newest Yammie video just to say I dropped my bike for the first time!At a gas station no kick stand, in front of a baddie too!!!
SMH! 💔🤦🏽♂️
yep , my next bike !!
Seriously Yammie, No Vulcan Voyager
how much does it cost to get owen wilson to do your voice overs.
Best bike of all time
I wish they made a modern version of the VOYAGER XII
Whats the best rpm to cruise at on a Goldwing? Mines an '86 gl1200.
❤🎉 can we be friends, I'm also a bike girl, you sound interesting.
One thing I love about the motorcycle community is that no matter what we ride, we can all agree harley sucks 😂
I have an 06 Suzuki C50T, not because I was looking for that bike specifically but because I was looking for a good first bike and got a deal on that one. So far, it has been a fantastic and comfortable machine to learn on and ride. Your "Cringe and hard pass" just based on looks you don't care for and nothing to do with the ride/reliability is pretty lame.
Agreed. I just upgraded to a 2023 Indian Pursuit from my ‘19 C90 B.O.S.S., which I totally loved. Reliable, powerful, confident in most all conditions and terrain, I loved that thing. Not sure why he neglected to mention the C90 since it is closer to the GW in engine size….(or why he had to dump on the C50 for that matter)….maybe b/c they don’t manufacture the C90 anymore? But the Boulevard was my first return to motorcycling after my teenage run with the 1976 Honda 125 CB. I’ll remember that 2019 Suzuki fondly.
I dropped my phone from my waist (missed my pocket) in my rokform case and broke my screen and screen protector
Best motorcycle ever built by Honda, no bike is better, HONDA is #1.
I want a Tiger 1200 for touring, or maybe the new bmw 1300gs
