    We bought a $500 motorcycle and compared it to a brand new $50,000 Harley-Davidson to see if it's really worth 100x the price.

    Do a series where you put $49,500 into it and make it 10x what the Harley is. Similar to your old vs new Honda series. Gullwings are the Cadillac of motorcycles, big boats that have the best seats for long drives and more options than you need.

    I have owned several new Gold Wings in the 80s and 90s.
    I currently own the CVO Road Glide in Whiskey Neat.
    I agree with y’all’s assessment of the two bikes overall.
    With 2 ½ million miles behind me, I feel a touch qualified to make a judgement.
    1. The HD suspension absolutely sucks - that’s why many owners are replacing it with far superior aftermarket brands.
    2. The price of the HD is astronomical - everything with the Bar & Shield emblem is jacked up too high,
    3. The accouterments are a definite plus on the RG.
    Only a few things to aggravate the owner:
    a. The saddle is a dud. I replaced mine with a custom rebuild which gave me copious amounts of joy,
    b. Electronics challenges (constant code alerts),
    c. All handlebar switches were swapped between left and right (takes a while to relearn),
    d. Nothing from the past Road Glides fit this new one.
    e. The four Wings that I owned and rode for over 300K, NEVER had a wrench turned on them,
    f. Among the twenty-two HDs that I had, EVERY ONE except two had maintenance issues ranging from drive belts to blown engines!!
    All of that being said, I’ll still keep my HD!
    THX for an informative and funny comparison video.

    • @thekevinfranklin

      @@thekevinfranklin I get why he loves his harley; 'cuz theyre cool
      I have a GL1500 like in this video, and an HD Electra Glide (among others), and I wouldn't give up either of them. The GL is great for just jumping on and taking a ride. Besides the rubber timing belts that need to be done every 75k ish/5 years, it's literally the most reliable vehicle in my garage. 170k on it and counting.
      the EG on the other hand has had constant oil leak issues and it's been through two sets of timing tensioners, one of which blew an engine (it's a pre 2007 twin-cam, so this is a well known issue). I could go on with issues with the Harley for days, but that's not the point.
      The point is the Harley is cool :)
      It sounds like a stereotypical motorcycle going down the road, it's painted bright colors and has flames on the fuel tank, it's loud, brash, and has tons of chrome. It's so much more fun to walk out to than my goldwing. Think about driving a modern Lexus IS-350/500 versus a 1969 Coronet 440. The Lexus is more reliable, functional, and probably quicker to 60 than the coronet, but the coronet is 10,000x more interesting.
      Some specifics that are fun on the harley;
      The pegs are way out front, so it feels like you're leaning back. Not optimal for around town or through a mountain pass, but fun on the freeway and looks cool
      The handlebars are way up high, and the seat is down close to the ground, so you gotta reach up a little more than most bikes, giving it a different feel
      It has a suuper old style dash and handlebars. The Goldwing's bars are covered in plastic, while the harley has big chrome bars and big chrome dials. It just adds to the old muscle car feel.
      Iunno, that's basically what a harley is. Rolling americana, it's awesome :D
      As a side note, the Goldwing is literally the second most boring bike I've had. It has damn nearly no character, which is both a blessing and a curse. It's a blessing because i can't list a single thing it does badly. It's a curse because it makes the bike itself EXTREMELY boring. It's a bike you ride to get somewhere and not focus on the bike. "I'm taking a ride today" versus "I'm taking the harley out today." The GL, the ride is the adventure, the Harley (and most other bikes), the bike is the adventure.

      You need to ride the current goldwing, it's more fun than a roadglide and makes more power as well 125 hp at just 5500 rpm. They've changed the whole bike, it has more features than a roadglide for half the price. The only reason to get a Harley now is if you like the looks and don't want to get looked down upon by Harley people who judge you for riding a Goldwing that's it. GW is plain better in ride and handling

    I traded my 2020 Road Glide Limited for a 2018 Goldwing Tour DCT and have never been happier. The HD was like straddling a slow, heavy oven. Too hot to enjoy beyond 60 degrees. The Goldwing is all day easy and comfortable to ride and will run circles around the heavy American. I noticed you weren't able to put the Harley in reverse... Also, I had to spend an extra $1,200 for the HD heated seat, which in retrospect wasn't needed thanks to the rear cylinder crotch cooking feature it comes with.

When Willie G davidson and Vaugh Beals got a bunch other investors to buy back harley things started to change, Namely with the development of the Evo engine and today with the Milwaukee 8. The twin cam engine was one of the best performing and most reliable ever created.

    If anyone hasn't seen a Goldwing ripping up The Dragon's Tail, make sure to take time and watch the videos. It's a big bike, but it can really rip through trails. Most importantly, you are comfortable while doing so. We had a guy with a ~2015 Goldwing that would ride with us on sport bikes and I was always impressed how well he could keep up. It did help he did amateur sport bike racing, but it's impressive seeing that big bagger on it's side scraping through corners.

      Harley-Davidson is running out of old men to pay as much as a decent new car for their 1950s bikes. Their electric bike is a failure because you can't hear it coming from the next county. I'd rather have the Goldwing. Quiet, runs like a sewing machine, lasts forever, comfortable, reliable, doesn't shake. It's a two-wheeled car. Just get on and cruise.

    Through the touring Package on that cvo, and you're ready to do an ironbut. I have a custom Motorcycle shop in Chattanooga Tennessee, and you're on two of the best selling motorcycles in my part of the country. The harley-davidson keeps the best resale value, but whenever you pay over 50 grand from the start. I just can't see how they're going to keep, anywhere near a decent resale price! But I've never bought a brand new cvo Road Glide ,and probably never will. The older twin cam bike's is what I deal with, but eventually I'll have to work on those Milwaukie 8's if I am going to stay competitive with other used harley-davidson shops around the area.
