@@daryljones3195 x3 190hp R1 180hp VFR1200F DCT 145hp/185nm GL1800 DCT Unless your pulling 3 hunge I'm on your a55. Most riders tap out. Their dreams and hopes disappear along with what little balls/skills the majority have when the realise they can't shake a 390kg bike with a 110kg 6'2" unit on the back dressed in short shorts and a singlet. Don't push me if you don't want to be pushed back. Kunt learnt a valuable life lesson that day.

@@Paul_Zernick most street riders can't use 1/3 of what any bike is capable of. Some can get more out of a KTM390 than any liter bike too. All things being equal though, the sport bike will always leave the Goldwing in the fading mirror image. I can hang with some solo sport riders when I'm two up on my Goldwing depending. But not all of them. Nor can GL riders hang with me on my SP if I don't want them to. 6 of one, half dozen of the other.

@@daryljones3195 that's why I hedge my bets. Life's all about that sweet V4 1200cc goodness. If I can only keep one. VFR1200F DCT. What a thing of engineering. Missile fast. Power. Bullet straight. Twisties with (265kg) ease. Comfort, cargo. 12hr days. Nothing to hate. It's my favourite toy. It's not R1 fast, on B roads, but it can keep up. Unfortunately mines still in the shop. Tree fell on it. So I'm winging it more than I'd like. 105L cargo on my vif. 110(built in ) wing. I've done alot of 3-5 day rides I could have viffed it on instead😭😭😭😭 But I can embrace wing mode very quickly. #1stworldproblems

You got a calender? Bit late mate. Just baught it back then. Did just fine, just fine. Been tracked at SMSP since then. But you were there with SSR on our track days with us right? 🤔

@@paulh7589 yes & no. I run a '13 R1, '10 VFR1200F DCT as well as my DCT wing. Sports, SPORTS tourer, tourer. 190hp 200kg, 180hp 265kg, 125hp 390kg. Though it must be said ole wing pumps out 170nm! Have the Stage 1 Bren tuner at home. Once flashed big rig will be 145hp & 185nm. Insane! But alas maths is maths. I'm running 500kg+ loaded up for a weeks trip. Solo! 110kg + 25kg gear, 525kg. It's amazing how it hauls that weight, and yes, previous gen was heavier and slightly down on power, so it's as good as it could be. Yet to ride with the tune. But again, it's how you enter a turn that determines how you exit it. And steaming into a bend at 150kph+/500kg+, well it's something. It's, um, different. I definately don't ride it like my VFR. Now, that thing is something. Let me tell ya. Still no light weight by any stretch. 265kg, 1200cc V4. It fukkn moves. You need to manage some weight there also, but about the SPORTIEST sports tourer on the planet. I love that thing. If I really want to have "fun", over multiple days, over thousands of km, in creamy comfort. VFR1200F. But yeah, you can definately have a giggle on the new wing. It's mind bobbling how fast it rips though gears out of a dig. That 7spd DCT in manual mode is fukkn hilarious. Btw, I baught big vif first. Yep! DCT. Love that box. Absolutely suits the Vif & wing. Would not buy manual. Do not use auto on vif. Occasionally use auto on the wing. Just kick back. Tunes on, cold bevvy at hand. Legs up, cruise on, reeeeeest! In that regard, sure, the current wing is a flexible bike. Long n lazy. Pokey n giggly. However, a VFR1200F she is not. BTW, record? 14hr day on the vif. With breaks obviously. Fresh as, for the most part. I wouldn't do that 5 days in a row. Just an example. Can do a long day on it and still tear up twisties like it's a CBR. The wing you do need to muscle to get it sparking up. Not, tbh, what I'd want to, repeatedly. It's tiring. 500kg! Only one bike for fun, and comfort? Wait for it........... K1600 GTL. If that's all I could have as a bike? Oh, I could very easily get by with the VFR. But yeah. 1.6L straight 6⃣. All the bells n whistles. 250kph+. That'd probably be me. But I like my options. But my favourite bike I own. Yeah. Big vif. That 1200 V4 is sumfin. Most mileage but? The wing. So. Go figure? 🤔 🤷🇦🇺

@@kugangles9860 lesson learnt. Be a kunt get treated like a kunt. Not all GLs have 65yo fragile decrepit limp dikks on em. Messed with the wrong MFer.

@@keyboarddancers7751 the good bits of road are scattered. To get from one good bit to the next there's average stuff inbetween. To really play the fun game I bring my VFR1200F. Comfort & gear to munch up the miles(105L), a raunchy V4 1200cc when the fun bits pop up. My 18 DCT GL hoofs along alright. It ain't slow by any means. About to up it 20hp & 15nm. But it's a different fun. The VFR1200F really does do it all.

@@TonyTromp-b4c easy as. Sweepers. Goldwing hunting ground. I fukked him up cause he was riding my ar5e through the twisties just before he passed me. I let him through so I could return the favour. Sharing is caring. He did not like it apparently. He was exceeding his capabilities. I was not. Wing destroys sweepers. Twisties, I know I'm not on my R1 or VFR1200F. If I was this video wouldn't even be made. The turd would have got nowhere near me. 🤦😂🇦🇺

@@alitoroganan2442 I'm 6'2. My opinion is 💩. No not a small bike. Change pegs, bars & seat? Yep. Enough for you? 🤷 Can I flat foot. Of course. Would I buy anything I can't? 🤔 Not sure. Would I want to tippy toe 265kg? Yrsci have dropped mine in a wet car park. Yes I did end upp with 265kg on top of me. Yes I needed a mate to lift it off me. Learnt a lesson that day. Have special rain shies that know. How low can the seat go. Need to google. Though I have seen one on bikesales before seemed noticeably low, so........... 🤷 But yeah, I'm not the guy to ask. Hit up a 5' 7-9" guy. Might help. Graham_vfr on here maybe 🤷

@@gorbacev85 don't even have torque. Average Harley 146-168nm vs Grandpa GL 170nm. Mine will be 185nm after tune. And that HD average is spread over the 107/114/117ci. 117ci btw being 1.92L. 120cc more than my 1.8L. Luckily we don't need to talk power or 7spd DCT gearboxes. But I'll soon be running 16% more power & 9% more torque. So...... 🤷

Zero. Best kept secret. Don't care. If it's fukkn awesome, not buying till 27/28 atleast. I wouldn't be racing to buy a 24 though. 40th was a nice bike.

DCT x2. VFR1200F. I'm a luggage whore. That barely has luggage removed either. In fact just got a 45L box to replace the 31L. So it's running 105L now. The wing just looks well put together with the top box. Not a add on or afterthought. It is rock solid also not a hint of wobble. Not hard to remove. Not 5min. But not hard. If you only tour 1 or 2 times a year, buy the delete kit for the rest. I've pulled mine off to fit a 4" back, 1" up adapter. Massive difference. Still looks sweet. Just as rock solid. Last tour removed hitch rack and placed a 35L dry bag on pillion with ease, vs, squeezing in my 26L and having the 18L on hitch rack. Yet to fit or need or use trunk rack, but there if required also. Could take either the 18L or 26L if needed. But light. As in rain gear, jackets, layers, clothes etc. You've seen me use the top box for daily duties. That's a given. Just way to easy to use. Central locking, drop 💩 in walk away. I chuck a million things on the pillion under the cargo net. Again just so easy quick and practical. Do the same on the VFR1200F. Now that Lil fella(265kg 😂😂) is a absolute commute demon. Yet can also grab a week's groceries with ease also, and then some. And I eat alot! I do alot of running around on both my DCTs. Luggage was a non negotiable. Touring? Weekender, 3,4,5 day etc, summer, winter, rain. Never once concerned, oh, 💩, what do I carry. Pack it, bring it. Tented a few times. But only weekenders. Have plans for a larger hitch rack to carry my 60L dry bag if needed. All the gear, somewhat of a idea. 💡🤔

@@Paul_Zernick I'll be going the used route when I finish moving (one less thing to move 1600+ miles). Almost certainly will get the tour. Happy/safe rides, dude 👍!

@@mikeb8342 you won't regret. Baught my 18 in 21 with 40k km on it. Put another 20k on myself. Battery. Oil. Tyres. ✅✅✅ Enjoy.

People are still chucking ohlins on these 15yrs later. Nah, I re-vamped mine. Front n back. YSS/hyperpro. Ohlins? Way overkill for this bike. But everyone's got hyperpro, nitron, wilbers etc on the back by now. DCT is fab. DCT on my 18 wing is not much better. So it's a reliable consistent stable predictable box. Tbh, was never ever going to get this bike without. Got the VFR before the wing. Would I get DCT on a VFR X or africa twin? 🤔🤔 🤔 Not sure yet. Yes, not ruling out adding a X. I end up on dirt regularly, I'm keen to do more. No, don't need to spend $4k+ on suspension. But yes does benefit from aftermarket. It's a daily query on FB groups. I was fine, till I wasn't. Won't rule out more work again at a later stage. Otherwise?? Fukkn weapon. Replaceable? Nope. H2SXSE....... Maybe...... 🤷 Now? Definately not.

You'll love everything. Especially 2 extra pots. I had a CTX1300. My 2nd bike. I have a VFR1200F. I like big bikes, speed & comfort. And well, goldwing has always been the standard. K1600 a close second, but more GTR1400 than GL1800. And if I want the real deal, than the 1200 V4 delivers in spades. I have the big vif with DCT also. Accident? No. Love DCT. Between Android Auto & DCT the main reason I went GL vs K16. Won't rule out a K bike in the future, but with what's out TODAY, no. And am eagerly awaiting a extra treat or 3 hopefully in the 2025 50th anniversary. We're all holding our collective breath.......... BTW there is a BT Moto tuner out now for the 18+. Most guys seem happy. Am I looking at get one? Tbh? As I have 170hp big vif? 🤔 Yeah, not likely.

Heard of sprints. Just checked again. 96kw. VFR800 78kw. VFR1200F 127kw. Same eras..... '10-ish+. Getting more 800 vibes from it than 1200🤔🤷 I think they were more in competition with each other. The 1200 was a weirdly recieved rooster.

Still considering adding ADV. But I smash bush trails heaps on my goldwing...... So ....... Maybe not. Would love to do dirt over 60-80kph but..... 🤷 🤔

Yeah, I'm lucky. Other neighbourhoods, forget it......my Lil oasis, been Here since 2008.

Enjoy you delusions, they guy was up my ar5e riding me before the over taking lane. I simply returned the favour. It boiled his beans. Much as it did me beforehand. I was there to ram home a life lesson. 185kph? 😂😂😂 Priceless. I do more than that with my tour screen on, fat arming it on my highway pegs. 200kph and a bit more on a good day with 500kg and a shorty screen on. I'd say I feel sorry for ya, but you're a shit felching cunt, so I don't. Enjoy your lemon fuck eyes. 🍽️💩

@@Paul_Zernick and it's not KP H it's MPH. 115 miles that's the speed limiter on the Gold Wing. FACT you're not gapping any sport bikes with your Gold Wing nobody's buying it the guy wasn't racing

@@Paul_Zernick I had a Gold Wing for six years and sold it because it was too slow

@@Magicinstalls 200kph @ 500kg+ Touring through the Alps...... Slow....... Lol. Clown. Get off the freeway ya flop. Doing 1300km today, in 2hrs time. Only freeway I'm taking is across Sydney to get to the meet point with the group. Then it's Old pac, Putty Rd, & Thunderbolts all the way to day 1 stop at Nundle. 170nm & sports mode in DCT is plenty to rip Putty apart. And embarrass many, sports included. Only the tightest of tights does the weight show. And how often am I actually bouncing off the bump stop, in reality? 🤔 Really? Lol. If I want to rape to my hearts content I just pull out the Destroyer. My DCT 260kg hyper tourer. VFR1200F. 180hp 130nm. Slayer of super bikes. With 105L of hard removeable luggage. Plush all day Super Touring at warp factor speeds. If I just want to tear the fabric of space & time then it's a R1 day run. But I'm a rider, not a closet cock stroker. I ride for days. So no R1 this week. Just a Lil 4day poke on the wing. VFR can have a break. It's going to be wet. And I'm a lazy packer. Luxury of wing living. Don't think, grab, chuck it on. Over packed, always do, last minute, don't care. 170nm & 7 gears hauls my 500kgs+ around with ease. 3 tickets from my last run says it ain't slow, how many this trip? Let's go for 4.

@@Paul_Zernick In germany and other courties they only do 180 I wonder why down under it's different?

@@terrasiho5606 bikes & cars come US EU ROW. Usually. Aussie is Rest of World. We also have no nav software. Gps in there I believe, but nothing to run it.

Shorty definately higher top end. Guaranteed.

@@Paul_Zernick Take care and dive safely. My wife and I spent 36 years on holiday in Caloundra near Brisbane and it must be heaven driving all those great routs though down under. You'r soo lucky.

mine was written off. I managed to fudge the claim. Kept it. Some minor DIY fixes to offset insurance, gtg. I had no intention of losing this thing. Irreplaceable. Unless a ZX14R came with bags. No, I don't want a FJR or 1400GTR. Add a 14R, sure. Replace my 1200? No. It's the 3rd hyper-bike no one mentions. 300kph maybe not. But it hits 280 liketty split. All day mile munching missile. I'm not getting rid of it. Own a goldwing DCT as well btw. love DCT

@Paul_Zernick honestly, the VFR12 was a better bike as the ZZR1400. Realistically got going just as quick as the ZZR1400, but with shaft drive and guaranteed smooth gear changes. Its not right to compare the VFR12 to the FJR13, GTR14 etc, as they do a different job

Scalpels 🗡 ☠️

65km. 40-80kph. Sh1t to pretty manageable. First 10km was corrugated corners. Progressively cleaned up. Had to keep ya concentration but, especially under the shadows later on. Plus sharp rocks. Not interested in a cut tyre.....​

@@markhingst5368 shouldn't be out of the norm......if you want to keep.🤔

@Paul_Zernick I suspect a very expensive repair, just not sure I want to spend that kind of money on the bike given that it has 125000 km on it. May be better off putting that into a new bike. I would really like something with panniers, quick shifter, better fuel range, same power, cruise control etc etc

@markhingst5368 z1000sx h2sxse gsxs gt .not much out there. No top boxes. K1600 gt/gtl

Indeed. I asked for it. I started at the tail of a 200-300 Harley ride. Army veterans. Not cool enough to be up the front. Even though I'm a 25yr Commando veteran. Have to have fat useless poge's on pig iron up front to ease their fragile egos. I was not popular at the half way turn around. Fukk em🚫🤣🤣🤣🇦🇺

Super quiet area. Disc locks. Outside my bedroom. No one comes through here. 1 road in/out estate.

I'm team green. 14R. Same, tachometer,speedo and central lcd. Why I love my goldy. Same left, right and central digital. Have ridden current busa. Very nice indeed. One day maybe ??

A lazy NT/AT 1100 with a DCT, why not. Kick back, legs up, forward pegs, tap, tap, tap. It's how I roll on the wing. Only use standard pegs when hammering the twisties. Personally I wouldn't get one. But not everyone wants to cart full bags and 270kg or 390kg around. Me, I don't mind a big rig. I consider my 265kg VFR1200F to be, "light". 1100? I'd get mine in Africa Twin flavour personally.

Of course not.🤦‍♂️😉 VFR1200F Forums on fb. Mihai Tomescu. Shrewsbury UK.

@jasoncruz3237 4x magnaflow resonated tips. 8yrs old. No idea today. Running a 6.4 Jeep SRT atm. Will be chucking long tube headers on that soon . Gutted the stock exhaust on it also. And soon to gut oem mufflers on my Goldwing too.

So long as it doesn't get hit again, hope to still have mine when I'm 60. Love a good sports tourer. Can't think of a direct replacement atm. 🤔🤷💯🇦🇺

Who cares? It doesn't invalidate an owners review of the bike.

Europe. All my gear comes from the EU. Thse are Macna. Got a heap of em. All my kit is Macna, RST, Alpinestars. There's a heap of sites, one stock more of 1 brand than the other.

Limited in store variety here in Australia. 9nl8ne,complete product line, have all my sizes, tear fitted here in Sydney, in store. Then order online. Helmets, boots, gloves, leathers, the lot. EU.

Had a CTX1300. Baught this not long after. They both came out of Goldwing youtubing. I've got the wing now, traded the CTX for a R1. Granted the CTX is a de-tuned ST, but the VFRs 1200 V4 is no 1300. It is something else. Ride one if you can. I had to have the DCT. Love tech. But you have the option. I think DCT suits. That's me but. Sorry, no ST comparison. 265kg 170hp. Do the maths? Goes in VFR favour some ways🤷😜👍
