ZaTT -NET yep, thats what Im saying. Some journos seem to always compare to liter sports bikes. Not these guys, they tell you how the bike is for what it is.
This is the first time I've ever wanted a goldwing- it's actually good looking for a tourer. I could never afford one or ever be able to justify buying one but the thoughts are there.
Copied the BMW front end. Good choice. Lot of owners complain about it bottoming out. For $2000 you can buy larger lids for the side panniers and the top box from corbin that are the size it should be to begin with. Still has minimal cornering clearance, too bad. No wireless apple car play. A Honda Civic has it for less money than a 2022 goldwing ? Crazy.
Nice bike! If ever a bike was going to tempt me into the dark side of overweight but comfortable cruisers it would be this one - nice blend of modern, practical(-ish!), and elegance.
Not in a million years did I think I would ever want a Goldwing. But when I looked at and sat on a new 2020 it blew my mind! WOW what a machine! This isn't the old man's bike of yesteryear. It's a sporty sleek touring machine. I gotta have one! I thought I wanted a new Indian or Harley Ultra to tour on but when I sat on the Goldwing it was instant facination. It's been a long long time since sitting on a bike absolutely blew me away
Dam honda out done themselves the goldwing used to be an old mans bike but now I'm only 19 and I want one. But since I'm broke Imma just get a used cb650 nighthawk :(
I like what they did to the bike all except shrinking up the storage capacity. A lot of people buy a goldwing to travel long distances comfortably and that also means having the space needed for all your gear needed usually for two people. Especially on the touring model. But other than that it looks and seems like an awesome touring option.
R Zu yeah that's kinda my point. I have an older model that was left to me when my grandfather past away. It's the 6 cylinder 1,500 model and has a paint matched trailer with it. He used that bike and trailer to travel the U.S. cost to cost twice. I'm just surprised that they would lower the on board storage capacity is all.
I feel you. When I was younger I always wanted sport bikes like the CBR. But as I get older, I'm starting to prefer these types (Gold Wing, Rebel etc) of bikes.
Im on my 5th wing . Today i got the chance to try a 2018 1800 at my local honda dealer . HOLY SMOKES , WHAT A BIKE ! :-) Some day when i win the lottery i will buy one ...
Yeah stupid move by Honda they made this one more sport touring when before it was more touring focused and if you want a sporty tourer your better off with a k1600
Thank you very much for this great review. I am going to buy the new Gold Wing Tour in April, the top end model with airbag. Looking forward for some nice journeys through Europe with my Canadian wife. Greetings from Germany
This is a car. This is legitimately a car. I'm actually waiting for Honda to offer some sort of detachable roof with drop down doors (maybe called Weather Barriers) so that I don't have to bother with two vehicles anymore. Not bashing Honda or the Goldwing, but especially recently these bikes have gotten to be that whole level of extra. Heated seats, AIR CONDITIONING, full sound system, etc., If I didn't live where it snowed I would just buy this and not look back.
The ‘ultimate’ ST - but I did notice near the end of the video that the rear suspension was pogoing across a bridge - whilst the front was good! Hope the front talks to the rear.
Dunno; the reduction in storage capacity and fuel capacity is a bit of a turn off for me, especially the side panniers. Maybe that's because I've huge fiberglass bags on my motorcycles, but the lesser storage capacity has me on the fence. Ditto for the reduction in fuel storage. Other than that, I'm loving this new G-Wing. One day, hopefully, Honda will bring back their big V-Twin cruisers to add to their big-bike lineup (one can only dream).
Once there was the GL1500 Wing. Then along came the BMW K1200LT. That forced Honda to release the 1800 Wing earlier than planned (Look it up). BMW a cople or so years ago released there K1600LT. and it's taken Honda until 2018 to release this latest incarnation of what has always been a great bike. I have in the past owned a 1500 Goldwing, which I believe was released to better the BMW K100LT, which I have also owned. I currently own and Love a BMW K1200LT, which is a fantastic machine. It is super comfortable, has pretty much everything that was available on the first generation 1800 Wing, but is a Lot Lighter and handles a Lot better? Why has it taken Honda until 2018 to put a Power Screen on the Wing? My K1200 was built in 1999, and came as standard with a Power Screen, a Decent Stereo, Reverse Gear, Heated Grips and Seats, and Decent Luggage Capacity. I am yet to ride a K1600, but my guess is it's at least as good as the latest Wing?
I'm on my 2nd GL1800, and have waited years for Honda to update this bike. I'm totally disappointed with the changes Honda made; loud exhaust, too high seat, luggage capacity so small not to fit to FF helmets. The '18 is now a sport tourer, IMO, and competes with many other bikes, and doesn't win in that category. I'll keep my '06 GL, and buy a naked for another type of riding.
It's a great move and nice to see it doesn't have a 12 foot high windscreen like many of the previous models had as add-ons. The 6 speed is a disappointment as this bike would be much better served with a 4 or 5 speed so the only real choice is DCT. But $30k is a lot of cash and a real stopping point
Well to be fair, at 70 mph the engine is just above idle at 3200 rpm which is a real sweet spot. It only seems like it's revving more due to the number of power pulses. I have bikes with 6 speed and I normally stay in 5th unless I am going over 80mph. Also all they really needed to go is change the rear end ratio so 1st would be a little taller and 5th also taller which would happy up just about everyone. Doesn't this make more sense?
I am ALWAYS trying to kick up into (a non-existent) 6th gear when I ride my 2013 F6B. At 70, it really just wants to drop RPM's from 5th gear. It's got the torque to go lower and the buzziness and fuel economy would improve. I like the ratios as they are, it just needed an overdrive and its finally got one. I like that a lot!
I like the redesigned look and the front W/B but, that storage space is pitiful. I'm not in the market but, I'd like to demo ride to feel how that new motor runs.
I wonder how easy it is to adjust the suspension for heavier riders? On my VTX I put HD progressive springs and it was a huge improvement over the way too soft front end that fully compressed under hard braking. Will this maintain suspension height against front end dive like BMW's does (or even the Suzuki Burgmann to a lesser degree)? It certainly appeals to me much more that the previous model.
No guess necessary, as I've spent hundreds of miles on the K1600. It's lighter, more sophisticated, more powerful, and cheaper. In other words, it's better in most measurable ways.
all i could notice from this video is that its seems all they have done is give it things that my 2012 K1600 has had for years. But now the only thing the goldwing had over the K1600 which was its sofa seats and luggage space, is gone. The K1600 is a better bike in every way.
It looks more nimble for rider maneuverability (big plus )but not as comfortable for the passenger on long trips..I like it and hate it at the same time.
Great quick review! Beautiful bike. Please help the motorcycle industry out. Tell the mfgs if they want to sell more top end bikes price them less than a car.
At that weight, price and size I would rather be riding a Miata, Corvette or any other convertible sport's car. I'm glad for those of you who were waiting for it. 😎
Can you guys do a review for 2014-on Honda VFR 800 Interceptor, a very underrated bike which I personally find interesting, this would be my next bike. You have a big poster in your garage with this model if I'm not mistaken, we would like to hear your opinion about it.
It is completely unbelievable that Honda made the trunk too small to easily fit a full sized helmet, let alone two large helmets and some additional items! It is unacceptable to have to go to the after-market for ANYTHING for a $30,000 motorcycle. I will not buy the a Gold Wing until the storage space issue is fixed.
So you're saying that this is either automatic or shift is that what you're saying cuz I have a bad left leg and I would like to purchase one if that is the case just to get myself back out in the Wind please comment back and let me know if they still make them in automatics I had one years ago I rather find out on TH-cam then go to a dealer and look like an ass thank you very much

I like how you can objectively review motorcycles for what they are from a 300cc versys to a liter sports bike to a Goldwing. Keep up the good work!
Speedytrip don't forget they also did comparison of the grom and z125
ZaTT -NET yep, thats what Im saying. Some journos seem to always compare to liter sports bikes. Not these guys, they tell you how the bike is for what it is.
That versys is good bang for your buck, but I would go for the CB500X

i hated them until i rode one
One could make the argument that this is more practical than any sportbike ever made.

2018+ is a TRANS bike- It is a ST1800 SPORT BIKE that trying to identify as a GOLDWING- You all are being FOOLED!

awdeveau Judging by the Gold Wing riders pulling trailers, I would say the older model was lacking storage capacity too!

Never been my thing.....except I want it now......ah, its the ageing process. I really want one. Damn!
Almost half a million
I feel you. When I was younger I always wanted sport bikes like the CBR. But as I get older, I'm starting to prefer these types (Gold Wing, Rebel etc) of bikes.
I’m feeling the same. This or the bmw rt1250
I gotta say that’s damn good looking. Younger people will definitely be interested. Good move Honda.
How many young people do you know who can afford a $30K bike?
Im on my 5th wing . Today i got the chance to try a 2018 1800 at my local honda dealer . HOLY SMOKES , WHAT A BIKE ! :-) Some day when i win the lottery i will buy one ...
Ari, sweet to see you do such a great review here in Texas.!! Thanks.
They shouldn’t have reduced the storage capacity.That was a huge selling point for the Goldwing.
Yeah stupid move by Honda they made this one more sport touring when before it was more touring focused and if you want a sporty tourer your better off with a k1600
Why is there a "Touring" model of the Goldwing? Like what else would you be doing on it? Reminds me of newer Ferraris with a "Sport" mode.
Yeah, kinda weird. The standard Wing doesn't have a top box and it has a short windscreen. It's essentially an updated F6B.
it's just the name of a trim package...
Touring means more money. More options, more confusion, more money extracted.
Actually I like to take my Ferrari Off Roading. Looking forward to doing so with the new Gold Wing.
I saw a Ferrari by route 20!

Goldwing will be a car-sized motorcycle
And the new Goldwings model will be a convertible.
Zack goes to Italy and Ari... uh... rides a Goldwing. That seems totally fair :P
When I saw the thumbnail I thought it was Ari piloting and Zack riding passenger.
gorgeous bike... 😍😍😍

Super Sleek bike and review. Kinda waiting for a wheelie though! You guys Rock.
Man i am not into touring bikes, but i am loving this ❤😍its just more than a bike,..
Hope you all are planning on doing a side by side with the K1600 and the new Wing.
The ‘ultimate’ ST - but I did notice near the end of the video that the rear suspension was pogoing across a bridge - whilst the front was good! Hope the front talks to the rear.
new stories in new way in new year .fells good.
Yea.. you can tour to the moon on this one!
What if i want to take both my wife and significant other?
You'll need to special order that as an option from Honda dealers in rural Utah.
There is no vehicle made that can safely do that.
Sidecar
That's what the luggage compartments are for
😂😂😂😂
Totally dig this one! The lighter weight and new front end has me interested.
Nice job and glad to see they let you out of the garage!
So nice to travel on rain.
Love it Ari! More touring videos! Keep em' coming!
Lovely Bike , if I had the money that'll be the bike of my choice , I've always wanted to own along with the Ford Capri.

Some might say this is actually good looking... I’m one of them.
Douglas MacKellar I like it better then last years model.
Jacob James agreed!
Was waiting for you guys to review this beaut.
man, this thing is beautiful
Great review and first ride! Greetings from Marbella, Southern Spain!
Gregory Korvin greetings from Charlottenlund, eastern Denmark!
Honda goldwing amazing bike i'm from indonesian 🇮🇩 support you channel thanks for share
Bike intended to travel: lacks in capacity and fuel. 👍🏻
Honda is honda...one of the best motorcycle company.about in one word (trust)
Great video,really love this bike in that color.thanks for sharing.
Honda totally killed it with this bike. Im too young to ride and to afford one but man I wouldnt mind owning one to go on some long rides.
You don't need a Gold Wing to go coast to coast, I did that on a Suzuki V-Strom 650.
Arjen Bootsma Of course not.
Recognize those roads and the square in Blanco! Hopefully trading up to a goldwing soon.
Beast incarnate

I like everything I heard except less storage. The whole purpose of this thing is long rides and more stuff to pack...?!

Would love that bike for touring!
Beautiful machine!!!
😎👍
Oh that is a beautiful motorcycle.
This new Goldwing makes me want a new Goldwing
Please please make a video on counter rotating crankshafts vs conventional ones, interesting topic I guess..
It's a great move and nice to see it doesn't have a 12 foot high windscreen like many of the previous models had as add-ons. The 6 speed is a disappointment as this bike would be much better served with a 4 or 5 speed so the only real choice is DCT. But $30k is a lot of cash and a real stopping point
6-speed was SORELY needed for the overdrive. About time!!!!
Well to be fair, at 70 mph the engine is just above idle at 3200 rpm which is a real sweet spot. It only seems like it's revving more due to the number of power pulses.

Still the only motorcycle in the world with an optional airbag (for $31K). Honda has never told us if the airbag is effective or not!
O my god superb bike
Why didn't you review the premium upgraded package that includes a swimming pool and a basketball court?
Gorgeous look! Shall be a great option for trip, Love the red one more~
Great review. Ari, what brand and style jacket are you wearing in this video?

Will this maintain suspension height against front end dive like BMW's does (or even the Suzuki Burgmann to a lesser degree)? It certainly appeals to me much more that the previous model.
As an educated guess, how does this compare to a beemer k1600?
Gary Walker The K1600GT/GTL is a fat sportbike.
The LameWing is a BARGE with small dose of lard ass cruiser(hideous big front wheel like a bagger).
No guess necessary, as I've spent hundreds of miles on the K1600. It's lighter, more sophisticated, more powerful, and cheaper. In other words, it's better in most measurable ways.
JIGA BACHI The lamwing will outlast any shit bmw it finds
Probably . . . but I'm willing to take my chances if it means riding something a bit less popular and wide-spread.
all i could notice from this video is that its seems all they have done is give it things that my 2012 K1600 has had for years. But now the only thing the goldwing had over the K1600 which was its sofa seats and luggage space, is gone. The K1600 is a better bike in every way.

They're Alpinestars Ridge boots.
Hey Ari, love all your videos. What jacket are you wearing in this video?
I wish I could afford to be into that style of bike.
Ground clearance is really low might get scratches during turns
How did you get a chance to test ride it for so long? Did you sign up for it or get sponsered?

when im 60 i would love to own this bike and tour on it, but sadly by that time all non electric vehicles will be gone

Blows you off apparently with added moustache tickle for the benders that are riding it

I've been looking at them (2018 -21) hard. The luggage kills this bike for 2 people.
What's the gas milage. Or let me put this way! If i buy this bike in Europ how much gas will use for 100km?
It is completely unbelievable that Honda made the trunk too small to easily fit a full sized helmet, let alone two large helmets and some additional items! It is unacceptable to have to go to the after-market for ANYTHING for a $30,000 motorcycle. I will not buy the a Gold Wing until the storage space issue is fixed.
how do you think it would handle on dirt roads ?
Don't see anywhere to add highway footrests? Loved my 2010
I'm about 173 cm and 78 kg , what touring bike would you recommend that has a nice light weight and not really tall seat height?

Looks sharp now,not old fashioned like the yank tourers that havent changed since 1950 something......Goldwing still King of the Hill.
What do you think about the kawasaki voyager?
I must be getting old, I didn't hate the Valkyrie and I don't hate this.
Seconded. My younger self hates me.
Does that thing really have a v6 in it?
Very nice bike
I would love to travel through Europe on this one. 26k , jeez you can buy a decent suv for that amount
