This popped up when I searched for "best used touring motorcycle", and I loved the wisdom of it enough to subscribe. Even my wife who doesn't ride and usually doesn't pay attention when I watch videos about motorcycles commented on how much truth was being said. Thank you.

Amen!! I toured coast 2 coast on a 2004 Silverwing scooter (after I modded it). It was great. Have done it on Gold Wings. On a VT1300 Interstate. Each one was awesome for me after I modded it for ME. I don't understand why your channel isn't more popular, it is awesome. Anywho, thanks for sharing your videos.
@@BootsandJeansRiders I have a 2001 600 Suzuki and I'm trying to upgrade to a Goldwing or Harley Glider. One of the Deacons of my church told me, that he had a Gold Wing at one time but now he has an Electra Glide, in it the best bike ever is better than the Gold Wing cuz I was considering more like the Goldwing, but listening to your video it more clear to it all even what he has said; thanks a lot, God bless you Bruh! You know I got to show him this video😂! Shame the devil!!!👊
Great video!!! Keep it real brother. Currently riding a 07 CBR600RR. My wife won’t ride with me nor do I think it would be a enjoyable ride for her. I love the sound of a inline 4 but my 600RR IS NOT good for more than a hour or less at a time. So I find myself looking again.
Yeah...you can make it comfortable enough to ride a little longer, but you will need to stop for gas more often. Keep looking man, I'm sure you will find the right bike for the long haul. Thank you for watching and commenting.
Great blog , I agree with what you're saying .I'm a first time viewer . Its very nice to hear from a neutral party .I ride a BMW k1200lt and it fits me just fine for long distances . I rode with many different riders and that have different bikes and they all was fine with what the had as well . Keep up the good work and I will be watching you !!! (smile)
Hey Floyd, First let me say "Welcome aboard!" Yes, the bike must fit the rider...I've never seen a perfect bike. I've also never met a BMW that I didn't like, you have a fantastic bike, great choice for you. Thanks for checking us out and commenting.
I love it!! Great info. We've taken week long trips on every bike we've owned but one. Of course, the most basic was a '91 750 nighthawk but we were in our early 20's. Lol At that age we didn't have many aches and pains yet.
Great topic...As for me it's the Honda goldwing bikes 2012-2017 model. The reason I believe it is best bike for most people is protection from the elements, reliability, low maintenance, stero system etc. However it may to large for some people so making your bike touring friendly is true👍. I have ride my 2012 from south carolina to California and back to south carolina over 2 weeks. No problem
Hey Platinum Riderz...Yeah you can't beat the Wing...Its al that you mention and more. We love ours and like you, we have taken them on many long BikeCation without any problems. Simply put, they are truly the best. Thanks for watching and commenting, we appreciate it.
@@BootsandJeansRiders where do you live? I'm in Orangeburg sc. You can check out my California ride on my channel...you have great content so keep up the nice topics...
Excellent video Rich, you are right, the best touring bike is the one that fits "you". I've had Honda's, Kawasaki's, a Harley that I bought new in 81 and still have it, Picked up an Anniversary Edition 15 Goldwing in silver just over a year ago with only 13k miles on it and "it is wonderful" The wing before it was a 1986 SEi 1200 that I had for 20 years, only reason I sold it was parts were getting hard to find, even though I only had to replace one rectifier the whole time I owned it. To date the only thing I've had to do to the 15 wing is change the highway pegs. I do think I want a back rest even though I've got a seat bag that seems to be doing a good job. Ride safe, see ya on the road.......................
Diddum thanks for the kind words. Man you have ridding owned more bike than most people that I know. The Goldwings are an engineering marvel. I don't see me changing to another brand soon, and if I do...I will make it fit my riding style. Ride safe also.
You nailed it. Best one for me is what I can go on! I’ve been cross country on 500’s up to 1500’s. Love them all and I ride the bike that suits my mood and where I’m going for the day. I don’t waste my time arguing with idiots! Good video!
Hey Doug that's fantastic...You really get it. If someone done think that they don't have the right/best bike for touring, its probably because they listen to what other say. Thanks tor watching and commenting.
I like you, and you are so right. I believe the 2006 RSTD is the best touring bike period,...for me. For you it's YOUR Goldwing. Thanks for the upload 😀
I’m on my 3rd Wing so you know what my answer would be. When I had my Honda 900 Custom I rode from Houston to the Grand Canyon so it was right for me. My wife rides a Honda CTX DCT (her 9th bike). Love your videos. BTW, I’m 72 and she is 69.
Wow!!! You two should take a bow... So much experience and knowledge. 72 and 69 yrs. and still riding, that's how we want to be. And love the fact that you ride your own bikes. Thanks for watching and commenting, you are an inspiration to us.
Hey Rich Once again, because you are "backlit" by the l bright sky behind you, you face is a bit underexposed (not as much as I've previously mentioned, because now there's a LARGER portion of YOU in the frame, which is good). Here the problem is MOSTLY that the hat brim puts your face in shade, (because of the direction of light behind and above you). It would have been better to ditch the hat, or even MORE better, always try to be FACING the sun, without Kake casting a shadow on you, blocking the light from the sun, as she videorecords. Well, there you go, another free tip to a great guy (and gal). Best2U, KawiKid
Hey James thanks. Too many people let other tell them what they should ride, based on non sense. I truly believe that there is no perfect bike. Thanks for watching and commenting.
There is no such thing as a prefect bike. They all have issues, but there are some that are better from the dealer to be an almost prefect touring machine. Ride what you love, and love to ride.
The 1100 Rebel...Yes, as long as you make it comfortable for you. Just sit back and enjoy the ride. Thanks for watching, Now...Get that Rebel ready for the road.
Excellent point. Stop arguing and start RIDING. Customize for a CUSTOM RIDE.
Exactly!
Finally, practical advice on touring bikes. I completely agree with you sir and I’ve been riding for 40 years!!!
Thank you sir.
Well said brother!!! It doesn't matter what bike, it matters how comfortable you are on it.
Yes comfortability goes a loooong way.

Thank you Kevin...I appreciate that.
I agree 100%. The best touring bike is the one you own. Make a few changes to make it comfortable and go!

Wow you are a true rider. No one can tell you that you don't have the "Best" bike. You made all your rides your own, and that's whats its all about.
