Honda Corp just needs to go ahead and ordain Rider Caliente the Global Ambassador and be done with it. A long haul super hero, motorcycling community leader & recipient of many coast to coast Gold Wing customizing compliments acknowledged and confirmed by none other than the God Father of custom Wings Charlie Brown. There is no content creator who has set himself apart more than Rider Caliente and his magical Gold Wings. Past & Present. I have no dog in the fight. I’m smitten with my Ultra Blue DCT Tour Airbag 22! Come on out Caliente! Let’s wake up the Funky Town kids. They need a break from that rental house. 😂 Let’s go! More in 24!
Great video Chris! Agree on all of your ad on suggestions. I wish they would make this touring version with a detachable tour pack like harley models. And yes on the additional power ports. Come on its 2025 already they need to step up and be ahead of the curve not behind it.
You're absolutely correct on all points. Amen. There should be no reason why should any touring motorcycle should be decreased on trunk or sattlebags. That was Hondas mistake.
You talked about this much earlier this year. If Honda was listening then maybe they would have done something but now not so much. I 💯% agree with everyone's recommendations with exception to the radar detector one since it is illegal to use some places. As far as when we'll find out about the new version I don't think that will happen until November 5th thru 10th at the EICMA show in Milan, Italy. Fingers crossed hope that they were listening to you. David from Ontario Canada.
You're spot on with 2 predictions: new color scheme and a 50th anniversary badge. But also there will be a price increase, the 3rd given. I'll keep waiting for the new release like everyone else, but if Honda doesn't give "we the consumers" something for next year, I guess I'll go buy a new truck. Thanks Chris, from Lebanon, Tennessee. You've got a great channel sir!!
one this video Chris. I agree with you on everything except the digital dash. But that is out of preference for me. I love the old school analog speedo and tack. But a digital dash would be very cool on the Wing. But if Honda was to make any changes on the Wing and you know they won't till they have to, but if they did the best changes they could make are the set and saddle bags and trunk. Those are the biggest downside to the newer Wings. I have an 01 and people are amazed at how much i can get in it. Again great video and as always looking forward to your next one.
I totally agree. I have a 2012 and love my goldwing. I am holding back in not buying one unless honda makes it somewhat similar to the last generation with this generation tech. I agree with the size being bigger because its a tourer.
More storage in the front bigger fairing like you said, bigger saddlebags and bigger gold wing for people like the old interstates or Aspen case similar in size
My opinion on the 2025 honda will be a gold color and a fifty year anniversary badges and a 7.2 gas tank. They should automatically put a CB on the bike a phone mount that automatically charges in lights all the way around the motorcycle.
A lot of things Honda SHOULD do, but I agree, changes will probab 12:04 ly be minimal. They used to listen to the Goldwing rider more closely. Maybe they will come back to that. Maybe not.
GWs may get smaller. Log past are the days of the luxury liner bikes. They have to get sleek and younger to meet future expectstion and demand. That's my prediction.
On the previous generation I KNEW the bike is locked when I heard it click. I don’t know if my 2024 is locked when I walk away. There should be some way it talks to me. IMHO.
Honda has been doing that since they started building the Goldwing, anyone that has been associated with Honda over the years know that they do things for Anniversary editions. This stuff comes up every year before the release of the new model year. Everyone has an opinion.
I think that if Honda knows something we don’t, ( meaning that new Chinese bike could be a threat in the Asian market). I think Honda may have a new bigger version. And then they will wait a year or two before bringing it to the US…….never mind me wishful thinking
Now we all know AI is foolproof, and it doesn't lie. The 2025 is a virtual Esprit Lotus on 2 wheels. And missile cannons. And hovers a foot off the ground at 70 or more. And auto braking. And.... and..... I THINK AI lied to me? Lol.
Gooder? "Greater" - sorry........... Agree with you 100%. An updated TFT dash or proper Entertainment System could be an outside chance, starting to fall behind there. With no apply car play android auto the whole bike is a dud. And that is frustrating. I refuse to watch the many AI vids out there, lies, all lies. Goldwing designed for Japanese, not Westerner?

Well Said!

That would be cool!
Morning Chris,
Nope, you’re not the only one.
Some good points and yes I forget and double check thanks for sharing Chris I like to see more horse power safe travels and Amen. ARKANSAS BADLANDS
Right on
You're absolutely correct on all points. Amen. There should be no reason why should any touring motorcycle should be decreased on trunk or sattlebags. That was Hondas mistake.
I think it was intentional by Honda, that way they have the option to make the saddlebag bigger then justify charge more money!
Yeah Chris that's why I added a camera pointed at my garage doors
Yes sir for 30,000 you should have all the bells and whistles
I second that motion!
They NEED to get back to inspecting the fit and finish of the finished product. My 2023 was pretty bad.
And AMEN!
Love to see Adaptive cruise control (ACC)
Great video
They should include a belly pan also.
Every Goldswing rider needs a Belly pan, I highly recommend Wingstuff. th-cam.com/video/ftEQ4wXhSXI/w-d-xo.htmlsi=di6IW1Oq76VkU51c
Yes i agree with all Chris is saying plus make the trunk detachable

I can wait to see what it will be!!

Now that’s telling it like it is!
Yes they do need to bring back the big body
Nice intro

Upgraded stereo... radar cruise control.. new color and 50th badges is obvious... then I'll sell my 2015... let's go!
AMEN... Hello Somebody PREACH.... 30k That why I'm still rolling old school 2003!
I totally agree. I have a 2012 and love my goldwing. I am holding back in not buying one unless honda makes it somewhat similar to the last generation with this generation tech. I agree with the size being bigger because its a tourer.

They should automatically put a CB on the bike a phone mount that automatically charges in lights all the way around the motorcycle.
Excellent suggestion!
Can’t tell you how many times I’ve turned around to see if the garage door was down 😂😂😂
I bet there are a lot of people second guessing themselves whether the garage door went down after leaving home LOL.
A lot of things Honda SHOULD do, but I agree, changes will probab 12:04 ly be minimal. They used to listen to the Goldwing rider more closely. Maybe they will come back to that. Maybe not.
Just explaining 😂 Hello Somebody 💪🏾
8 gallon fuel tank would be nice!!!!
GWs may get smaller. Log past are the days of the luxury liner bikes. They have to get sleek and younger to meet future expectstion and demand. That's my prediction.
Love your videos, do you have a video of installing your radar detector mounting. That location you have is what I am looking to do.
I have a similar radar install video that use the exact same procedure. th-cam.com/video/ntsJOtKTMLc/w-d-xo.htmlsi=VP0lao96HpUZQli3
On the previous generation I KNEW the bike is locked when I heard it click. I don’t know if my 2024 is locked when I walk away. There should be some way it talks to me. IMHO.
Active cruise control please
The China 8 cylinder has been listing to GW complaints
Big body needs to come back!!
I'm please with the current size of the Goldwing but I would have been nice to choose from two different sizes for the larger size riders!
Third Brake light
A 3rd light is much needed I recommend the Goldstrike Trunk Light. th-cam.com/video/brmgjV8dnHE/w-d-xo.htmlsi=tvHIS21xMklbg3dh
@@chriscaliente5033 I guess I’m going to have to take a ride to Memphis and let you install all these goodie’s for my bike. LoL
Its only money, lets do it!
Honda has been doing that since they started building the Goldwing, anyone that has been associated with Honda over the years know that they do things for Anniversary editions. This stuff comes up every year before the release of the new model year. Everyone has an opinion.
True but the topic always becomes will Honda make any changes to stay competitive therefore I've made my prediction in this video.
Larger hand grips also
Brother Cowboy will be all over that Big Body
A lot of Goldwing owners agree!
Does my 2020 do that to if so I didn't know that
I think that if Honda knows something we don’t, ( meaning that new Chinese bike could be a threat in the Asian market). I think Honda may have a new bigger version. And then they will wait a year or two before bringing it to the US…….never mind me wishful thinking
DID YOU WIRE YOUR HEADSET THRU.. THE BIKE OR IS THAT JUST AN ALWAYS FULLY CHARGED SECOND UNIT😮
I was wondering how it's wired or otherwise connected to his helmet.
Now we all know AI is foolproof, and it doesn't lie. The 2025 is a virtual Esprit Lotus on 2 wheels. And missile cannons. And hovers a foot off the ground at 70 or more. And auto braking. And.... and..... I THINK AI lied to me? Lol.
Larger fuel capacity
Gooder? "Greater" - sorry...........
Agree with you 100%.
An updated TFT dash or proper Entertainment System could be an outside chance, starting to fall behind there. With no apply car play android auto the whole bike is a dud. And that is frustrating.
