That is my exact bike. I put the tall & wide windshield and an Ultimate seat on it since I’m 6’4” and 300lbs. I put only synthetic oil and change it every year. Mine is a 2021 and I only have 3900 miles on it. Only do short local rides and keep it in my garage. I have my detail guy wash & wax it every 6 months. I’ve owned every bike from Harleys to Indians, and Kawasaki’s to Suzuki’s. I’m 64 years old and this will be my last bike. Love the DCT. I also own an African Twin DCT for my adventure rides. Been riding motorcycles since I was 13.
Agreed completely on all points, I too feel the new Goldwing is the best touring bike on the market today. It's just so reliable, versatile, comfortable, and convenient. 😎
Great video and tutorial. I have been riding for 40 years on the streets and owned every brand of bike and a year ago I purchased my first gl1800 with only 7k miles on it and absolutely loved riding it. I kept thinking how amazing the new ones must be because the 07 was such a great bike for the year. I did 3 amazing trips on it and then my brother recently bought the the wing like yours. Even though I never rode his (he has offered it numerous times) I started liking it more and more and learning more about it so I went ahead and sold mine and bought the same dct wing. I was so confident I would love the bike that I still never rode my brother's before buying one. The first dct I rode was my new one and I couldn't be happier! These wings make you want to get on them and just take off and keep going. Enjoy the ride and be safe out there.
Good video. I am a big H-D fan, currently riding a '21 Trike Ultra, but I have to give credit where it is due. I have owned one years ago and it was amazing...outstanding handling, solid around town, and on the highway...simply wow. If I was buying a two-wheel today, I would seriously consider the Wing and that version is really nice.
Love the looks,have a busa & a 14r but startin to like these,looked at the Bmw 1600b also,like the Gps,sound system & now the saddlebags which come in handy
The pre-2018 Goldwings used the starter motor to go in reverse. The DCT uses another set of gears in the transmission for reverse. There are two clutches (hence the name DCT, dual clutch transmission). 1st clutch handles 1st, 3rd, 5th, and 7th gear. The second clutch handles 2nd, 4th, 6th, and reverse gear.
Well done review. You got me sold! While I do agree that Honda has done a stellar job of streamlining the F-6 engine into the overall style of this latest generation GL, there was a time when they went out of the way to showcase the Flat-Six. Back in the eighties when I worked for a stand-alone Honda dealership, along with the full fairing Interstate & Aspencade editions, Honda would offer a standard or naked version through 1984. With every trim level the engine was notably visible. Regardless of motor configuration, the overall size & dimensions were more or less in keeping with the competition. All that changed when the revolutionary 1988 Gold Wing 1500/6 debuted. It was, bigger, and heavier, with acres & acres of plastic. From the bow to stern every component was molded and integrated (uni-body) as one. Even the twin front brake rotors were shrouded w/chrome covers. The only visible part of the motortrain was the valve covers. And for this Honda had an optional accessory piece; a plastic cover that fit onto the engine guard! It was said that the Gold Wing was a two-wheeled car. Of course Honda is a major automobile manufacturer and kudos to them for integrating auto design into motorcycle design. The style trend with autos during the late eighties, into the nineties downplayed any sight of mechanical components including eliminating the front (Lexus & Infiniti) grill. But then when sales of the Gold Wing began to wane, Honda, with all it's engineering prowess would get back to the essentials and build it's own heritage model; the 1997 Valkyrie. By hot-rodding that jewel of a flat-six motor and eliminating just about every other Gold Wing contrivance Honda built a showroom floor halo model. With it's "classic American" styling, the Valkyrie was much more then a standard Gold Wing. It was its own model which complimented Honda's flagship Gold Wing. Now with both GLs, Honda was able to offer riders who wanted to ride across America in comfort or be comfortable with American style! Honda would ultimately showcase its mighty Flat-Six with form AND function with the 2004 Valkyrie Rune. Thanks again for your video and for letting me comment.~
You are making me excited for the Gold Wing! I love your voices man! I really want to test ride the DTC. 8000 mile services sound great. Thanks for the excellent review. Ride Safe
Great video AB - def makes me want to try one, esp how you described how the weight feels and the handling - AND REVERSE for my short self?! Pretty sweet
Great video. I have a manual transmission ( yes they are available in Canada) 2023 non tour bagger like yours . I have owned about 10 bikes over the years and of course this is the best by far. Coming from many sport tourers, I don t feel like I am riding a big old man touring bike but more like the best damn sport tourer I have ever had. An the manual transmission is sooo smooth and easy, I like the sportiness of manual and the feel of controlling my bike myself with the friction zone. I anyone is looking at these bikes, don t hesitate, they are fantastic.
I have to agree, I am picking up a 23 tour, manual 6 speed tomorrow. I’ve had over 20 bikes, a few of them various wings, and I am excited to get back on this newer model. I also believe the engine in the wing is one of, if not the best engine produced for a touring, sport touring motorcycle, period.
I have that bike and bcs of your videos I have the beautiful saddlemen seat… and everything u said is why this will be my bike for a long time to come…
The tour model isn’t just about the trunk, it comes with other functions. I will say my wife preferred our 2007 it was better for passengers and had more room for 2 up touring. Either way I love mine. I would get rid of my other bikes way before I would let the Goldwing go.
they are a really nice looking bike. I just bought a couple of '83 goldwings, so that I have a bunch of parts that are starting to get hard to get. Looking forward to do some long tours with it in the years coming. I like the old iron.
Excellent video!!! Goldwings are an awesome motorcycle (for those who can actually appreciate what they offer). You have a great color Bike as well!! 😀
I love the new GW, but I also love my "15 Deluxe F6B. Wished the new model saddle bags were as roomy as my '15. Do wish I had a 6th gear some times too!
I have the 2021 Tour DCT in black. I didn’t put the rack but I did buy a bag that fits on the passenger seat and is curved for a perfect fit. I have the highway pegs from Aero and I like them. CarPlay is a great feature but I wish it didn’t require the helmet comm connection. I lose CarPlay on longer ride days when the battery runs out on my helmet. I would also like a little more fuel capacity as the range is just over 200-225 miles depending on how i ride it.
Ive been a Harley guy for 40 years........until I took the DCT for a ride. Harley WISHES they could put a product out like this. Yes, even the CVO's! No comparison whatsoever! Hey guess what? Everything Harley charges you for (thousands of dollars) comes standard on these bad boys. Just try it. The sport mode almost pulled my arms outta the sockets. NOT kidding. .
It's still my favorite even with the headache I had with my last Wing. If I could hit the do-over button - I'd still have my 2018 Candy Ardent Red 6 speed 😁
I test drove the BMW 1600 grand america and it had a lot of plastic that rattled over bumps. Rode the "22 Goldwing DCT and it gave me hip pain because of the foot position and the adjustable windshield rattled and the saddle bags are made for luggage but not putting stuff in without it falling out when opening them. Rode the Yamaha Star Venture and it was the most comfortable but slow and under powered and a ton of plastic everywhere. Rode the Indian Roadmaster and windshield and dash rattled and it had a lot of handlebar vibration. Rode the Harley Ultra limited and the fit and finish is flawless and was better than any of the other bikes for comfort and torque. Bought the Harley and decided to have the engine blueprinted and added a 7 speed baker transmission and now I have a 100,000 mile motor and the most comfortable bike I have ever ridden. If the Goldwing had a more comfortable foot position, usable saddlebags and better fit and finish I might have considered it. Everyone is different and what is best for one is NOT best for another. So in my opinion the Ultra Limited is the best for comfort and fit and finish.
I had to give up my Victory XC after 10years and 78k miles. I was not expecting to do this or to get another bike this year and never would I imagine it would be a Goldwing.... 😐 Funny how things happen in life, a few weeks ago I picked up a 2018 GW Tour with a mere 10k miles on it. Last night I just got back from a 1600 mile ride around NY and NE with the bike. My wife was with me for about half of it and I was solo on the rest. All I can is I'm blown away with this machine, the Goldwing is like no other bike I've ever ridden. My wife also can't believe how good the passenger accommodations are. She loves the comfort, lack of gowning exhaust, smoothness and the full heated seat(of course.... )
Riding a 99 Valkyrie now, but one day I'll upgrade to an F6B Goldwing. To me it looks absolutely amazingly sleek and bad ass, though i know that's subjective. But for me, I've never seen a better looking bike.
I went with the BMW K1600B. It does NOT have the GW reliability or dealer network! But here is a list of the stuff that made me chose it over the wing. Better handling. Better HP. It’s a MONSTER in the twisties! Better seat. Less buttons cluttering tank. (Sorry my opinion is the GW controls and dash are dorky) Better looks. Better sound. Floorboards. The rest of the stuff between GW and K 1600 are the same. Rent both and find out for yourself. Issues so far broken spark plug at 9000 miles. Reverse does not work 8000 miles.
Just like you, when I picked it up from the side stand I was impressed. The center of gravity is so much better than my CTX1300, the Goldwing feels lighter. Even though it's about 100 pounds heavier. I'd buy a Goldwing tomorrow if I could.
I have the same same 2021 Wing in the same color .. love the blacked out look too.. and out of box stock is dead on .. love the sound of mine .. and totally agree on the stock Nav is just fine .. I also changed out my shortie windshield for a standard size one .. Wish my manual had the walking speed forward/reverse .. miss that feature
the owners of the previous gen Wing definitely like way more chrome, but not me .. forgot to mention - also love the combination matte & gloss paint job on our grey/black/orange colored model .. and last one .. the orange stitching in your new seat is gorgeous .. @@ANONYMOUSBIKERUSA
There is no doubt that the GW has been a touring standard for a couple of generations. I do not own one, but if I ever have to make a change from my Victory, this will be a top contender. At 68 years young a DCT would definitely be nice, especially around town, and hill hold and a reverse is also very appealing. As a tall rider, I would need to test one, but I have a pretty average inseam at 32 inches.
This was a great video and I have to admit that I prefer a clutch and gears to change. I had a NC750X cdt and tried it for a few days. I still love my 2012 Wing that unless a big change in 2024, I will keep shifting my Wing.
The tour package has heated seats. You can also replace the glove box with an airbag. But the best feature is the transmission. The DCT is great. And having forward & reverse walking mode is the icing on the cake.
the old DCT transmission was not very good but the new one oh yess , when you try it , you gone like it. You gone play with the manual shifter but after a few days you gone a stay with the automatic , in sport mode it do the same job as a Manuel transmission and in the city with stop and go , it's wonderful
I don’t think I’ll change your mind but I bought a brand new Goldwing in 2019. It was ultimately lemoned out by Honda. The reason being is the oil pressure light kept coming on and after many trips to the dealership they couldn’t fix it. It had other issues as well, things like the hill start assist light would come on, things like the filler flap wouldn’t open, the rubber on the pegs was worn out before my first oil change. Then the day to day things that were frustrating, I had the touring model with the top case and my helmet wouldn’t fit in any of the cases. The cases were so small that basically my jacket, gloves and riding pants took up both side cases and if my helmet fit in the top case basically all of my luggage would be full. There was basically no luggage space. On top of that the fuel tank was tiny so you had to stop quite frequently on longer rides. Then being someone that came from a BMW touring bike the fixed cases were especially irritating, when you got to your destination if you could fit your stuff in the little hand bag inserts you could take that with you but the little hand bags barely held my toiletries much less stuff for touring. So after they got their bike back I went and got me another BMW and it’s been fantastic, in the first year I had my goldwing I didn’t put very many miles on it because it was broken a bulk of the time. My first year with my BMW I’ve put almost 15,000 miles on it. The side cases are HUGE, I can fit all my gear and helmet in one case and still have the other two cases free, I can fit a whole case of water in one of the side cases and I can remove the whole case at my destination. It has a 7.9 gallon fuel tank so I can go almost 300 miles between fill ups so if I get to an area where it says “next fuel 60 miles” and I don’t want to stop at a shady gas station, I can keep going. Also 15,000 miles and no oil pressure light. Also another negative with the Honda is their customer service. I even went as far as the BBB complaint to Honda corporate asking them to replace the bike before I got an attorney involved hoping they would own up to the defective bike and is all they did was tell me to keep taking it in for repair. When do they start treating their customers right? Each repair attempt was under warranty, each repair attempt I had to ride in, and get a taxi/uber home none of which was reimbursed and no loan bikes were ever offered. Usually at BMW dealers from my past experience if you are having a larger service done they’ll give you a demo bike off the showroom floor just to get you back home while your bike is in for repair. I paid a premium for the Goldwing, it was a childhood dream to buy a brand new Goldwing someday and it was a disaster. Up to that point I had only used bikes a couple ancient goldwings a 1975 and a 1980 but the others were mostly used BMW’s and I was still given loan bikes on those old out of warranty BMW’s for larger repairs. The Goldwing was my first brand new bike and it completely soured me to Honda in general. I even did a video about the poor experience I had. Also the suspension was terrible on rough roads, the front end would hit the bump stop in the suspension so many times it was very jarring. You gotta give me credit that my dislike is from actually owning one, some people have dislikes and never even tried one. I think I would have somewhat different feelings if Honda didn’t fight me and just exchanged the bike. I would have figured out how to live with the shortcomings but they got their bike back and lost a customer. As for a positive, I liked the wind protection, and I liked the smooth engine on the Goldwing. Other than that I could never recommend it. I don’t even really like Harleys but I’d give Harley a try before I ever considered another Goldwing.
flat enough and i’m sorry you had such a bad experience! Really stinks !!!! so far my experience has been fantastic but I appreciate you sharing your story. ride safe !
Ride what you like. Ride em all! They are all fun. Some are for short rides, some for long rides, some are big, some smaller, some are for speed, some you take your time on ect. Never limit yourself And this goes for motorcycles too!
Thanks for the reply, and good to hear it sits you back a little. The stock seat sits me about an inch or so too far forward, which is ok on short runs but uncomfortable on long trips. Thanks again!@@ANONYMOUSBIKERUSA
The Goldwing is a great bike. I have rode the dct and had an issue in a turn with sand. I didn’t buy it for that reason. I bought a Kawasaki voyager instead after watching some of your old videos. 2024 goldwing has a manual! It may be my new Christmas present. I will update!
I have a 22 lowrider st and I think im going to do the swotch up to a GW. Everytime I see them I love them more and more lol . I do more highway miles than anything, so its right up my alley
I’m a Harley guy I took one of these for a ride and I’ll tell you I was pretty impressed with it I want one to travel the country when I retire next year....🙈
I own a 2021 dct tour. Love the bike, but at 6'3 i just can't get comfortable on long rides. Added corbin seat, helibar risers and goldstrike highway pegs. Everything else is great. Performance wise it is a beast! Got 12k on it and going to go look at the pursuit.
I am 6ft 3 and the bike fits me perfect. Take that Corbin seat off and scrap it. Put on a Russell day long seat with a BACKREST. I have zero complaints.
i have one and i have some things to say... 1. Zero aftermarket for pipes or bars. they are there but i cant afford 3300 for remus pipes. Helibars makes bars but are 800. Storage sucks. Other than that... Awesome, awesome. Btw. Made my own pipes and added the corbin doors and seat, also added the shad 59x top case. Brought it all together.
true i'm ok with the stock exhaust and bars personally but i understand your point interesting you made your own! excellent! storage is def a little tight but a nice pillion bag does the trick while maintaining lines of bike for me when not needing the bag for travel
So….. as a biker who is not loyal to a brand I ride cross country a lot. I rode a triumph but knew I needed to go with a larger touring bike. The two I studied for almost two years were the Goldwing and the Pursuit. Like a lot of things, personal preference comes into play. So without being swayed either way I got the pursuit. To me it’s a better bike hands down. The Goldwing is nice especially the auto and reverse assist. But after all the testing and looking the Indian pursuit for me was way better. More customizable. More comfortable from the start without buying things like a new seat. Again the Goldwing is a nice bike with a cheaper price. But it also felt cheaper when I was on it. Just my opinion.
Hi great vid. I want one, However, can you see over the top of that screen when it’s in its lowest position? I’m 5’7”” and don’t like looking through screens, especially when it’s raining. Thnx.
I'm 5'6" (Puny). The windshield in the Down position is way lower than my chin while in the saddle of my '21 GW DCT Bagger. Also, my feet can be planted flat on the road when it is at a stop. It's by far, the most comfortable and capable bike I've ever owned in 40 years of riding.
I finally am back in the real world! Been not feeling so hot (no pun intended) this past few days or more. I finally feel good enough to make a decent comment on that beautiful Wing of yours! If If I were in the market for a touring bike, I don't think you can beat the price for what you get! Sounds like a sewing machine! Yeah, I wish all my bikes sounded like a sewing machine lol. Automatic!!!! Why that ain't a motorcycle that's a,a,a,a,a, Mini Bike!! Water cooled HA!!!! That ain't no motorcycle! Love the humor ABUSA! Emergency brake! Lawd have mercy! Electric motor....Great video and motorcycle ABUSA! Ride that Wing, err, Scout err, Enfield, and stay safe ABUSA!
They are available in manual in the United States also. My only question is. Is it very hot in the heat when riding? Never riden one and kind of curious in test riding one for my next purchase. It either that without the touring pack or a Indian chieftain darkhorse for me.
I am a Harley Davidson rider for the past 19 years. But I will say Honda built these bike for the highway and ease of maintenance. All you really have to do is change the oil and brake pads . One hole in and one hole out for oil changes, it’s fully counterbalanced and fully liquid cooled as well. Goldwing riders have their crews and Harley Davidson riders have their crews, but I will say Honda did their homework on those Goldwings no doubt.
"Rabble, rabble, rabble DCT, rabble, rabble". I freely admit that I am one of those people. However, to be fair, my first complaint about my last car was that it too had an automatic transmission. To quote Rupert Giles from Buffy the Vampire Slayer, complaining about his car in the show, "I just want to feel like I'm involved". However, my current bike is an 86 GL 1200. My second street legal street bike was a 77 GL 1000, and I put around 300K miles on her in a bit over 5 years. I don't want to talk about tires, but I replaced 2 seats, wore 'em out, and didn't, and really don't have a clue about just redoing them. If I had the money, and wanted a brand new bike, I wouldn't look at anything else, because the Goldwing is my bike of choice. When I have my current bike out and about, and am sitting where I can see her, she's all I see.
Love Apple Car Play for navigation and podcast listening. Too bad the onboard nav has to be entered manually. Would be awesome if you could mouse point on the map and hit enter.
Never thought about owning a goldwing, thought it was an old mans bike, now, im 73, bought a new 2018, and now it's a young mans bike. Dont figure. Love my candy Goldwing. Yes, a softer seat would make it about perfect. You're correct on the rest info. Ive rode 27 different steeds, and the Goldwing rules. Absolutely no contest. And i love my 6speed. FASTEDDIE
stopped about a third way through when you confirmed my beliefs on there is no better handling touring motorcycle! I watch other people's review like on a Harley Street Glide, and they swear that they can maneuver that bike at slow speeds better than the Goldwing! It cracks me up LOL! I have a 2016 F6B which does the model right before the one-year riding, it is superb in handling two, I have not ridden the Goldwing that you have but I have ridden the full dress 2018 with the top case and they really did some adjustments on that center-of-gravity because I noticed that I could throw that bike around with the top case as well as I can my F6B 2016. The one thing I didn't like about the 2018 was the wind protection did not seem as good as mine, I have a madstad windshield on and absolutely love it, also I did not like the radio, could not hear it at highway speeds very well at all. Now they may have fixed those couple of things, I'm not sure I haven't rode one since 2018, I'll keep watch it now, yes Goldwing absolutely the best Touring bike
Hi bud.... can you tell me the name of the seat supplier please and also where the seat heater is operated from please? Cheers and keep up the good work!!
I gave you a like a subscribe. I would have liked to hear more about MPG, Oil type and amounts, tire sizes, top-end speed, RPM, running the bike through the modes, and your comments while doing so. Might be 15 more minutes. I know editing is a PITA. Yea I can go look that up or watch other videos elsewhere, but you want the subscribers, correct. You don't want your viewers "shopping" elsewhere and just to find out the other vloggers provide more or better info, when you could have done the same. Just my opinion! Yea I got one of those too. I'm not trying to pound on you, else I wouldn't have liked and subscribed. Overall for what you did comment on, you did a good job. I'll look through the rest of your catalog.
Just an FYI. The 2024 Goldwing does not use an electric reverse motor or the starter motor for reverse. Still a great video. New sub here too.For the reverse gear there is a small "reverse idler gear" between the countershaft gear and the output shaft gear. This causes the reverse gear to turn the opposite way from the other gears on the output shaft. The output shaft is a splined shaft that is more or less (via the differential) connected to the wheels
You are completely right but it's correct if the bike is a DCT model. Manual goldwing and goldwing tour uses electric motor for reversing. DCT gets pulled by the engine and transmission.
The Goldwing is A+ in every category. And the DCT is great. I have the CMX1100DCT and it shifts WAY faster/better than I ever could. Beautiful machine. I wonder what changes are in store for the 2025 model. That's the year they are supposed to change.
@@ANONYMOUSBIKERUSA thanks, but I'm wondering if the top box from the touring version can be removed. There's a '21 touring at the local dealer, and I'd like to know if the top box can be removed.
That is my exact bike. I put the tall & wide windshield and an Ultimate seat on it since I’m 6’4” and 300lbs. I put only synthetic oil and change it every year.

Been riding motorcycles since I was 13.
Honda sez only mineral oil (GN4) in that transmission. At least the couple of dealers that I've asked.
Great video. I worked at the Honda assembly plant in Marysville, Ohio for 23 years and we built a lot of these.
wow! that's really cool!
Agreed completely on all points, I too feel the new Goldwing is the best touring bike on the market today. It's just so reliable, versatile, comfortable, and convenient. 😎

Great video. I have a manual transmission ( yes they are available in Canada) 2023 non tour bagger like yours . I have owned about 10 bikes over the years and of course this is the best by far. Coming from many sport tourers, I don t feel like I am riding a big old man touring bike but more like the best damn sport tourer I have ever had. An the manual transmission is sooo smooth and easy, I like the sportiness of manual and the feel of controlling my bike myself with the friction zone. I anyone is looking at these bikes, don t hesitate, they are fantastic.
well said!
I have to agree, I am picking up a 23 tour, manual 6 speed tomorrow. I’ve had over 20 bikes, a few of them various wings, and I am excited to get back on this newer model. I also believe the engine in the wing is one of, if not the best engine produced for a touring, sport touring motorcycle, period.
Great looking bike! I like the addition of the highway pegs!
Thanks!
Great video, thanks ✌️
Glad you enjoyed it
I have that bike and bcs of your videos I have the beautiful saddlemen seat… and everything u said is why this will be my bike for a long time to come…
that's awesome to hear!!!!
Great presentation my bro bro, dig it.
Much appreciated
Its beautiful & my next bike , thanks for the informative video .
Glad you liked it!
Nice video keep up the good work fella
Thanks, will do!
Absolute stunner of a bike. The seat design is absolutely delicious!!
thanks! Saddleman seats are amazing!
Good review and great points
Thanks!
The tour model isn’t just about the trunk, it comes with other functions. I will say my wife preferred our 2007 it was better for passengers and had more room for 2 up touring. Either way I love mine. I would get rid of my other bikes way before I would let the Goldwing go.
yes i mentioned the suspension and airbags as well Gw are awesome !
I just posted. I had a new 2008 for about 10 years and it was FAR better for the passenger than the new Goldwings.
my point exactly, went from a cross country 2 up tourer to a weekender@@glickmpb
first time i would buy a goldwing and yours has a great paint combo
thanks !
I completely agree with you! Wings are a great bike all around!
they are a really nice looking bike. I just bought a couple of '83 goldwings, so that I have a bunch of parts that are starting to get hard to get. Looking forward to do some long tours with it in the years coming. I like the old iron.
Very cool!
Crawl forward and reverse is powered from engine, not electric motor😊
@@gra271 thanks 🙏🏽
Man you are funny! 'That ain't a real motorcycle!' I want one of these, exactly as is in this video! Enjoy your ride bro!
amazing machine !
Excellent video!!! Goldwings are an awesome motorcycle (for those who can actually appreciate what they offer).
You have a great color Bike as well!! 😀
thanks for watching!
I love the new GW, but I also love my "15 Deluxe F6B. Wished the new model saddle bags were as roomy as my '15. Do wish I had a 6th gear some times too!
I have the 2021 Tour DCT in black. I didn’t put the rack but I did buy a bag that fits on the passenger seat and is curved for a perfect fit. I have the highway pegs from Aero and I like them. CarPlay is a great feature but I wish it didn’t require the helmet comm connection. I lose CarPlay on longer ride days when the battery runs out on my helmet. I would also like a little more fuel capacity as the range is just over 200-225 miles depending on how i ride it.
Ive been a Harley guy for 40 years........until I took the DCT for a ride. Harley WISHES they could put a product out like this. Yes, even the CVO's! No comparison whatsoever! Hey guess what? Everything Harley charges you for (thousands of dollars) comes standard on these bad boys. Just try it. The sport mode almost pulled my arms outta the sockets. NOT kidding.
.
agree, it's a tremendous machine!
It's still my favorite even with the headache I had with my last Wing. If I could hit the do-over button - I'd still have my 2018 Candy Ardent Red 6 speed 😁
Great video and sure a lot of good things about the Wing 👍
i was taking to YOU about not liking the engine 😂😂😂😂 thanks for watching sir
@@ANONYMOUSBIKERUSA like I didn’t know that 😂. The airplane engines looks good stuffed into a motorcycle, really 😎
@@BoDean52 but man do they perform!
I test drove the BMW 1600 grand america and it had a lot of plastic that rattled over bumps. Rode the "22 Goldwing DCT and it gave me hip pain because of the foot position and the adjustable windshield rattled and the saddle bags are made for luggage but not putting stuff in without it falling out when opening them. Rode the Yamaha Star Venture and it was the most comfortable but slow and under powered and a ton of plastic everywhere. Rode the Indian Roadmaster and windshield and dash rattled and it had a lot of handlebar vibration. Rode the Harley Ultra limited and the fit and finish is flawless and was better than any of the other bikes for comfort and torque. Bought the Harley and decided to have the engine blueprinted and added a 7 speed baker transmission and now I have a 100,000 mile motor and the most comfortable bike I have ever ridden. If the Goldwing had a more comfortable foot position, usable saddlebags and better fit and finish I might have considered it. Everyone is different and what is best for one is NOT best for another. So in my opinion the Ultra Limited is the best for comfort and fit and finish.
all fair points ! thanks for sharing!
I had to give up my Victory XC after 10years and 78k miles. I was not expecting to do this or to get another bike this year and never would I imagine it would be a Goldwing.... 😐 Funny how things happen in life, a few weeks ago I picked up a 2018 GW Tour with a mere 10k miles on it. Last night I just got back from a 1600 mile ride around NY and NE with the bike. My wife was with me for about half of it and I was solo on the rest. All I can is I'm blown away with this machine, the Goldwing is like no other bike I've ever ridden. My wife also can't believe how good the passenger accommodations are. She loves the comfort, lack of gowning exhaust, smoothness and the full heated seat(of course.... )
it's a beast !
Nice dude great job best on earth
Thank you so much 😀
Perfect color combo.
Thank you! Cheers!
Enjoyable review man!
Much appreciated!
Riding a 99 Valkyrie now, but one day I'll upgrade to an F6B Goldwing. To me it looks absolutely amazingly sleek and bad ass, though i know that's subjective. But for me, I've never seen a better looking bike.
it's a gem!
I went with the BMW K1600B. It does NOT have the GW reliability or dealer network! But here is a list of the stuff that made me chose it over the wing. Better handling. Better HP. It’s a MONSTER in the twisties! Better seat. Less buttons cluttering tank. (Sorry my opinion is the GW controls and dash are dorky) Better looks. Better sound. Floorboards. The rest of the stuff between GW and K 1600 are the same. Rent both and find out for yourself.
Issues so far broken spark plug at 9000 miles. Reverse does not work 8000 miles.
1600B is a tremendous machine! i wanna try it for sure! how's the GPS ?
Just like you, when I picked it up from the side stand I was impressed. The center of gravity is so much better than my CTX1300, the Goldwing feels lighter. Even though it's about 100 pounds heavier. I'd buy a Goldwing tomorrow if I could.
Right on!
That seat looks great!
it's awesome
MC built for riding and going places, and your vid shows it all...great ride!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I have the same same 2021 Wing in the same color .. love the blacked out look too.. and out of box stock is dead on .. love the sound of mine .. and totally agree on the stock Nav is just fine .. I also changed out my shortie windshield for a standard size one .. Wish my manual had the walking speed forward/reverse .. miss that feature
awesome machine!
the owners of the previous gen Wing definitely like way more chrome, but not me .. forgot to mention - also love the combination matte & gloss paint job on our grey/black/orange colored model .. and last one .. the orange stitching in your new seat is gorgeous .. @@ANONYMOUSBIKERUSA
@@seeaboutagirl2 thanks ! the Saddleman road sofa LS is amazing !
Great video.
Glad you enjoyed it
There is no doubt that the GW has been a touring standard for a couple of generations. I do not own one, but if I ever have to make a change from my Victory, this will be a top contender. At 68 years young a DCT would definitely be nice, especially around town, and hill hold and a reverse is also very appealing. As a tall rider, I would need to test one, but I have a pretty average inseam at 32 inches.
same inseam here all good great bike! but so is victory ✌🏽
I don't own one, but do mildly aspire to. I wonder if floorboards are an option (OEM or aftermarket) for the Gold Wing?
@@Jonathan-L they have nice highway peg options after market
This was a great video and I have to admit that I prefer a clutch and gears to change. I had a NC750X cdt and tried it for a few days. I still love my 2012 Wing that unless a big change in 2024, I will keep shifting my Wing.
Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for sharing! ride on!
Great bike. I don’t even mind the stock seat.
Absolutely gorgeous in every way....
Thank you! Cheers!
The tour package has heated seats. You can also replace the glove box with an airbag.
But the best feature is the transmission. The DCT is great. And having forward & reverse walking mode is the icing on the cake.
the old DCT transmission was not very good but the new one oh yess , when you try it , you gone like it. You gone play with the manual shifter but after a few days you gone a stay with the automatic , in sport mode it do the same job as a Manuel transmission and in the city with stop and go , it's wonderful
Love that bike!
yes sir !
Good job.
I don’t think I’ll change your mind but I bought a brand new Goldwing in 2019. It was ultimately lemoned out by Honda. The reason being is the oil pressure light kept coming on and after many trips to the dealership they couldn’t fix it. It had other issues as well, things like the hill start assist light would come on, things like the filler flap wouldn’t open, the rubber on the pegs was worn out before my first oil change. Then the day to day things that were frustrating, I had the touring model with the top case and my helmet wouldn’t fit in any of the cases. The cases were so small that basically my jacket, gloves and riding pants took up both side cases and if my helmet fit in the top case basically all of my luggage would be full. There was basically no luggage space. On top of that the fuel tank was tiny so you had to stop quite frequently on longer rides. Then being someone that came from a BMW touring bike the fixed cases were especially irritating, when you got to your destination if you could fit your stuff in the little hand bag inserts you could take that with you but the little hand bags barely held my toiletries much less stuff for touring. So after they got their bike back I went and got me another BMW and it’s been fantastic, in the first year I had my goldwing I didn’t put very many miles on it because it was broken a bulk of the time. My first year with my BMW I’ve put almost 15,000 miles on it. The side cases are HUGE, I can fit all my gear and helmet in one case and still have the other two cases free, I can fit a whole case of water in one of the side cases and I can remove the whole case at my destination. It has a 7.9 gallon fuel tank so I can go almost 300 miles between fill ups so if I get to an area where it says “next fuel 60 miles” and I don’t want to stop at a shady gas station, I can keep going. Also 15,000 miles and no oil pressure light. Also another negative with the Honda is their customer service. I even went as far as the BBB complaint to Honda corporate asking them to replace the bike before I got an attorney involved hoping they would own up to the defective bike and is all they did was tell me to keep taking it in for repair. When do they start treating their customers right? Each repair attempt was under warranty, each repair attempt I had to ride in, and get a taxi/uber home none of which was reimbursed and no loan bikes were ever offered. Usually at BMW dealers from my past experience if you are having a larger service done they’ll give you a demo bike off the showroom floor just to get you back home while your bike is in for repair. I paid a premium for the Goldwing, it was a childhood dream to buy a brand new Goldwing someday and it was a disaster. Up to that point I had only used bikes a couple ancient goldwings a 1975 and a 1980 but the others were mostly used BMW’s and I was still given loan bikes on those old out of warranty BMW’s for larger repairs. The Goldwing was my first brand new bike and it completely soured me to Honda in general. I even did a video about the poor experience I had. Also the suspension was terrible on rough roads, the front end would hit the bump stop in the suspension so many times it was very jarring. You gotta give me credit that my dislike is from actually owning one, some people have dislikes and never even tried one. I think I would have somewhat different feelings if Honda didn’t fight me and just exchanged the bike. I would have figured out how to live with the shortcomings but they got their bike back and lost a customer. As for a positive, I liked the wind protection, and I liked the smooth engine on the Goldwing. Other than that I could never recommend it. I don’t even really like Harleys but I’d give Harley a try before I ever considered another Goldwing.
flat enough and i’m sorry you had such a bad experience! Really stinks !!!! so far my experience has been fantastic but I appreciate you sharing your story. ride safe !
Ride what you like.
Ride em all! They are all fun.
Some are for short rides, some for long rides, some are big, some smaller, some are for speed, some you take your time on ect.
Never limit yourself
And this goes for motorcycles too!
Well said!
Great video, thanks. I am considering a different seat. Does the Saddlemen you have change the seating position at all?
the saddlemen is phenomenal yes i feel like i sit more IN the bike and a tad back some i love the seat
Thanks for the reply, and good to hear it sits you back a little. The stock seat sits me about an inch or so too far forward, which is ok on short runs but uncomfortable on long trips. Thanks again!@@ANONYMOUSBIKERUSA
@@Big-Si2253 absolutely! thanks for watching!
Dude 🎉 Absolutely beautiful
Thanks a ton!
Beautiful bike. What’s the color and year of the GW?
21 wing. gray pearl
Any vibration in the handlebars? Also what badass looking seat is that!? Nice.
i've never had any handlebar vibrations
seat is a saddlemen road sofa LS heated it's absolutely amazing !
Thanks for the response! Love the bike.
The Goldwing is a great bike. I have rode the dct and had an issue in a turn with sand. I didn’t buy it for that reason. I bought a Kawasaki voyager instead after watching some of your old videos. 2024 goldwing has a manual! It may be my new Christmas present. I will update!
both awesome bikes!
Great video brother
I might have a goldwing looks beautiful 🤩
Go for it!
At moment got 2 Harley-Davidson.
Looking for a motorcycle more comfortable for long distance.
@@eddybraga2435 wing is a great option! the wishbone suspension is next level
I have a 22 lowrider st and I think im going to do the swotch up to a GW. Everytime I see them I love them more and more lol . I do more highway miles than anything, so its right up my alley
ST is an awesome machine too! best of luck the wing is tremendous!
I’m a Harley guy I took one of these for a ride and I’ll tell you I was pretty impressed with it I want one to travel the country when I retire next year....🙈
it's a great machine !
you're a MOTORCYCLE guy !
What do you think of the slow maneuvering comments from MotorMan? Is the DCT not very good when going slow? Thank you from Montreal!
it can be jerky in the DCt mode but the answer is simply switch to manual mode and you have full control
I own a 2021 dct tour. Love the bike, but at 6'3 i just can't get comfortable on long rides. Added corbin seat, helibar risers and goldstrike highway pegs. Everything else is great. Performance wise it is a beast! Got 12k on it and going to go look at the pursuit.
Fair enough! pursuit is a nice one as well!
I must agree. Great bike for shorter guys.
If you get an Indian you will still need the Honda to ride while the Indian is the shoo for recall after recall.
There is no compariso n
I am 6ft 3 and the bike fits me perfect. Take that Corbin seat off and scrap it. Put on a Russell day long seat with a BACKREST. I have zero complaints.
i have one and i have some things to say... 1. Zero aftermarket for pipes or bars. they are there but i cant afford 3300 for remus pipes. Helibars makes bars but are 800. Storage sucks. Other than that... Awesome, awesome. Btw. Made my own pipes and added the corbin doors and seat, also added the shad 59x top case. Brought it all together.
true i'm ok with the stock exhaust and bars personally but i understand your point
interesting you made your own! excellent!
storage is def a little tight but a nice pillion bag does the trick while maintaining lines of bike for me when not needing the bag for travel
i got the same color scheme as you. Got the bagger instead of the tour. @@ANONYMOUSBIKERUSA
That bike is beautiful.
thanks 🙏🏽
So….. as a biker who is not loyal to a brand I ride cross country a lot. I rode a triumph but knew I needed to go with a larger touring bike. The two I studied for almost two years were the Goldwing and the Pursuit. Like a lot of things, personal preference comes into play. So without being swayed either way I got the pursuit. To me it’s a better bike hands down. The Goldwing is nice especially the auto and reverse assist. But after all the testing and looking the Indian pursuit for me was way better. More customizable. More comfortable from the start without buying things like a new seat. Again the Goldwing is a nice bike with a cheaper price. But it also felt cheaper when I was on it. Just my opinion.
very fair and honest points! thanks for sharing! pursuit seems like a good one for sure!
I am in Massachusetts and wish i could rent one for a day but can't find anyone who will rent this bike. Excellent review!
Thanks!
it's just a thing of beauty, I even like how the engine looks head on. It looks like a sea creature somehow ❤
❤️❤️
Dear sir, your review is worthy of sponsorship. Have mercy, I’m looking through the same window❤ well done buddy
Thank you kindly
Hi great vid. I want one, However, can you see over the top of that screen when it’s in its lowest position? I’m 5’7”” and don’t like looking through screens, especially when it’s raining. Thnx.
you def won't see over screen if you're 5 7 in its top position
but you can electronically adjust screen to find setting that works best for you
I'm 5'6" (Puny). The windshield in the Down position is way lower than my chin while in the saddle of my '21 GW DCT Bagger. Also, my feet can be planted flat on the road when it is at a stop. It's by far, the most comfortable and capable bike I've ever owned in 40 years of riding.
I finally am back in the real world! Been not feeling so hot (no pun intended) this past few days or more. I finally feel good enough to make a decent comment on that beautiful Wing of yours! If If I were in the market for a touring bike, I don't think you can beat the price for what you get! Sounds like a sewing machine! Yeah, I wish all my bikes sounded like a sewing machine lol. Automatic!!!! Why that ain't a motorcycle that's a,a,a,a,a, Mini Bike!! Water cooled HA!!!! That ain't no motorcycle! Love the humor ABUSA! Emergency brake! Lawd have mercy! Electric motor....Great video and motorcycle ABUSA! Ride that Wing, err, Scout err, Enfield, and stay safe ABUSA!
glad you're feeling better ! thanks 🙏🏽
Such a nice bike!
thanks!!!!
Are you able to change out the tall windshield with little to no change in comfort? That's really the only thing that throws the profile off for me...
not sure , never tried it but i do know after market has several diff windshield versions
“That’s not a real motorcycle!!” 😂😂😂 I can definitely see the Harley boys saying that!
😂 and it's great to hear as
i pull away in sport mode 😂😂😂😂
They are available in manual in the United States also. My only question is. Is it very hot in the heat when riding? Never riden one and kind of curious in test riding one for my next purchase. It either that without the touring pack or a Indian chieftain darkhorse for me.
when riding i don't find the heat very hot at all
it does get hot in the saddle bags tho fyi
I am a Harley Davidson rider for the past 19 years. But I will say Honda built these bike for the highway and ease of maintenance. All you really have to do is change the oil and brake pads . One hole in and one hole out for oil changes, it’s fully counterbalanced and fully liquid cooled as well.
Goldwing riders have their crews and Harley Davidson riders have their crews, but I will say Honda did their homework on those Goldwings no doubt.
thanks for the honest response!
"Rabble, rabble, rabble DCT, rabble, rabble". I freely admit that I am one of those people. However, to be fair, my first complaint about my last car was that it too had an automatic transmission. To quote Rupert Giles from Buffy the Vampire Slayer, complaining about his car in the show, "I just want to feel like I'm involved".
However, my current bike is an 86 GL 1200. My second street legal street bike was a 77 GL 1000, and I put around 300K miles on her in a bit over 5 years. I don't want to talk about tires, but I replaced 2 seats, wore 'em out, and didn't, and really don't have a clue about just redoing them.
If I had the money, and wanted a brand new bike, I wouldn't look at anything else, because the Goldwing is my bike of choice. When I have my current bike out and about, and am sitting where I can see her, she's all I see.
thanks for the reply Robert! 👍🏼
Love Apple Car Play for navigation and podcast listening. Too bad the onboard nav has to be entered manually. Would be awesome if you could mouse point on the map and hit enter.
I'm older and not much $$$ so I still have my 2006 Honda ST that looks and rides like a new bike !!!! .....You have a nice bike by the way .......
awesome! ride it all you can! thanks 🙏🏽
I love the Goldwing.
Dan! what's up bud! thanks for checking it out!
Never thought about owning a goldwing, thought it was an old mans bike, now, im 73, bought a new 2018, and now it's a young mans bike. Dont figure. Love my candy Goldwing. Yes, a softer seat would make it about perfect. You're correct on the rest info. Ive rode 27 different steeds, and the Goldwing rules. Absolutely no contest. And i love my 6speed. FASTEDDIE
stopped about a third way through when you confirmed my beliefs on there is no better handling touring motorcycle! I watch other people's review like on a Harley Street Glide, and they swear that they can maneuver that bike at slow speeds better than the Goldwing! It cracks me up LOL! I have a 2016 F6B which does the model right before the one-year riding, it is superb in handling two, I have not ridden the Goldwing that you have but I have ridden the full dress 2018 with the top case and they really did some adjustments on that center-of-gravity because I noticed that I could throw that bike around with the top case as well as I can my F6B 2016. The one thing I didn't like about the 2018 was the wind protection did not seem as good as mine, I have a madstad windshield on and absolutely love it, also I did not like the radio, could not hear it at highway speeds very well at all. Now they may have fixed those couple of things, I'm not sure I haven't rode one since 2018, I'll keep watch it now, yes Goldwing absolutely the best Touring bike
thanks for sharing!

I gave you a like a subscribe. I would have liked to hear more about MPG, Oil type and amounts, tire sizes, top-end speed, RPM, running the bike through the modes, and your comments while doing so. Might be 15 more minutes. I know editing is a PITA. Yea I can go look that up or watch other videos elsewhere, but you want the subscribers, correct. You don't want your viewers "shopping" elsewhere and just to find out the other vloggers provide more or better info, when you could have done the same. Just my opinion! Yea I got one of those too. I'm not trying to pound on you, else I wouldn't have liked and subscribed. Overall for what you did comment on, you did a good job. I'll look through the rest of your catalog.
thank you kindly
Just an FYI. The 2024 Goldwing does not use an electric reverse motor or the starter motor for reverse. Still a great video. New sub here too.For the reverse gear there is a small "reverse idler gear" between the countershaft gear and the output shaft gear. This causes the reverse gear to turn the opposite way from the other gears on the output shaft. The output shaft is a splined shaft that is more or less (via the differential) connected to the wheels
yes sir! realized that after i posted it, so thanks for the info! thanks for being a sub!
You are completely right but it's correct if the bike is a DCT model. Manual goldwing and goldwing tour uses electric motor for reversing. DCT gets pulled by the engine and transmission.
The Goldwing is A+ in every category. And the DCT is great. I have the CMX1100DCT and it shifts WAY faster/better than I ever could. Beautiful machine.
I wonder what changes are in store for the 2025 model. That's the year they are supposed to change.
let’s see !
Can you remove the top box on the goldwing, or do you have to get the bagger version to have the clean look like that?
they have after market top boxes that can be removed. from the bagger version.
@@ANONYMOUSBIKERUSA thanks, but I'm wondering if the top box from the touring version can be removed. There's a '21 touring at the local dealer, and I'd like to know if the top box can be removed.
@@lcdubs7847 i do not believe so.
