  • I love the nostalgic look and sound of my Harley-Davidson Motorcycles, and how the company has managed to offer touring motorcycles with timeless styling and touches of modern technology to enhance the riding experience.
    However, even though Harley-Davidson has made great gains in features across its motorcycle lineup, such as Cornering Electronically Linked Brakes, Conering Drag Torque Slip Control, Vehicle Hold Control, EITMS, Rider Modes, Adaptive Ride Height, GPS, Apple Car Play, Android Auto ETC... they often get overlooked by Non-Harley-Davidson riders. In today's video, we have a Honda Gold Wing Rider that trades in his DCT Gold Wing to try out Harley-Davidson's new technology and I share my thoughts on the 2019 Honda DCT Gold Wing.

    Lol. I’m a Goldwing rider, and trust me, I have the same steamboat experience on my Goldwing. I’ve done many many miles on Harley, but it doesn’t beat the comfort of riding the Honda Goldwing. Love not having the inside of my legs roasting from that engine heat. Each person has their own tastes and I think it’s amazing how we can respect each other and ride together in spite of the differences we have in taste. Getting ready to leave in a couple weeks on a 2,500 mile round trip with my wife on vacation. Can’t wait. Whether you’re Gliding, or Winging, enjoy the ride!!!!

    Motorcycling is so ethos based. It’s a vibe. It’s culture. Like music. There is truth to “Harley selling a better motorcycling experience. But Honda builds a better motorcycle”. Like ice cream it’s good to have choices. Today’s motorcycles have never been better.

    I have a Honda Goldwing and a Harley Heritage 114. They both have their strong points. I will take the Honda for longer distances and tearing up the twisties. The Harley wins when I just want to tool along and enjoy the scenery. Both bikes will do the other things, just not quite as good. I also have 5 other bikes for other riding. As long as it has two wheels it's good in my book.

    Yes those pegs are stock, but yes they have floor boards you can purchase. You can also get foot pegs for the bike that attach on the body of bike perfectly. That is a nice bike!, and it is also a great experience. I have a Road Glide and a Goldwing. Live life No Limits!!

    I've own a motorcycle for as long as I remember. Have owned Honda, Yamaha, Kawasaki, suzuki, Harley Davidson and Triumph. I was recently in the market for a Touring Bike. Test drove a Road Glide, Street Glide, and a Goldwing DCT. Now I'm the proud owner of a 2023 Honda Goldwing DCT. No regrets here, the DCT is amazing, and when you put it on Sport Mode the bike turns into a monster. But like you said on the video and everyone in here eco, hwat matters is that we ride and respect eachother. Burn Rubber, Not your Soul Baby!!!! Stay Safe!!!

  • @jamescoleman1372
    @jamescoleman1372 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    I am 78. I’ve actually owned one of the first Goldwings sold in the US, a 1975 model. I’ve owned many since. I’ve owned a lot of Harleys too. Now I have a 2022 Harley Heritage Softail. To me it is what a motorcycle should look like. But looks ain’t performance. I grew up on a farm and all the butt hurt I ever had was from machinery like John Deere, International Harvester, Massey Ferguson, Allis Chalmers. Harley Davidson is the same, farm machinery. I’ve only burned my leg once and that was on a Harley. For comfort, reliability, smoothness, etc I’ll take a Goldwing every time. I hope to trade this Harley and get back on a Goldwing this spring.

      ❤ you comment and comparison to John Deere. After 25 years HD owning I agree. The HD“scene „ in my country Germany changed a lot. Many of those bikes are not going anywhere…. Sadly. I am owning 6 bikes this days. The 1988 GW outdated the bikes those days and is still a beauty and reliable. Mine has 50k miles and same over 200k. Never met any HD in those ranges.

    Love your channel Tall!!! That said, I gotta chime in on the Honda Gold Wing. After years of riding Harleys, including a 2019 Street Glide Standard and a 2020 Road Glide Limited, I found myself at Americade in Lake George, NY last year and test rode the Honda Gold Wing DCT Tour. I absolutely fell in love with it. The style, the tech, the comfort, the absolute silky smoothness, and given that I live in congested Long Island NY and know a thing or two about hand cramps from clutching in bumper to bumper traffic, the idea of never having to shift again just sold me. My Gold Wing is NOT like being on the Monorail.... and it is NOT about getting to my destination. It is very much about the journey, and It is every bit of an exhilarating experience to me as being on a Harley is to you. As you stated quite correctly in your video, all that matters is being on two wheels in the wind.

    Good analogy Tall. I have owned many bikes. Including a Goldwing . I decried it that the Honda is like a refrigerator. Runs forever but nobody wants to see your fridge. The H-D is like a really cool outdoor grill using wood, has a smoker etc. All your friends want to see it. That's kinda why I have a Harley now

  • @ajpum65

    My 2019 DCT is my steamboat experience - feels like precision engineering vs ….. non-precision. Love the sound of Harley Ds for 30 seconds then - just gets old. So many Harleys out there - the sound actually gets annoying after a while. It’s nice we all have our own tastes. As for me - I pass on HD.

    I own a 2015 Goldwing and a 2015 Ultra Limited. I love both bikes, but when I'm planning on riding 500 to 600 miles in a day, and some days back to back, it's the Wing all the way. Been riding Harley a lot longer than I've been on the Honda. When I decided to do the Iron Butt, taking the Honda was a no brainer. Nothing touches the comfort of the Honda and it's going to take a lot more than a 214 to keep up with my stock Wing. The truth is the truth

    I'm blessed to have a 2023 Indian Springfield classic and a 2024 Honda Goldwing Tour DCT in my garage. If I need the feel of a V twin, I get on the Springfield. If I just want comfort, quiet and the smooth feeling of the best touring bike, I get on the GW. I never even considered a Harley until I saw then new 2024 models. However, they still lack the suspension and features of some of the other bikes but they are moving in the right direction. Bottom line is I'm not brand loyal. It's my money and I buy what I like. Love your videos and how you present them. Ride safe

    OK Tall , Love Your Chanel and videos. I am 65 years old and have been riding since I was ten. Started ridding Harley’s in 04 and have owned both Street Glides and Road Glides. I was out on my 2017 Road Glide and saw the new Goldwing at a local dealer here in Marietta Ga. I made the mistake of setting on one.,Bad move on my part. This particular dealer has a rental program and I was able to rent the bike for the weekend. I spent the next 3 days in the North Georgia Mountains on the Goldwing and had had to make a tough decision. Keep my Road Glide or upgrade to the new Wing. In the end the Goldwing Won. The Goldwing just has to many features to pass up for me. A Cool running 6 cylinder , Shaft driven engine. Adjustable windscreen, Automatic transmission with adjustable modes, Sport Mode, Tour Mode, and Wet Mode. And You can switch from Auto to Manual shift and You have the best of both worlds. The 2018 DCT is the best of both worlds, Long distance tour and Sport Bike combined. I still Have my 2008 Harley Night Rod Special to satisfy my Harley needs when I want to hear a little Rumble.

    I have a 1986 goldwing. Retro looks, carbs and choke which needs adjusting in the early stages of the ride. Gearbox is a bit clunky when cold. It has personality and gives a little attitude. It’s pretty rare to see anyone else on on one because of its age. It has history in every switch and pull of the clutch. It is also an experience.

Will continue to enjoy your transformation of the Road Glide because you have inspired me to buy Khrome Werks Exhaust and Custom Dynamics bag lights. So thank you.

    I am a GW guy I just sold a 2021 HD Revival it had 13 miles on it when it was delivered to me and it had 13 miles on it when the new owner picked it up a year and a half later I just could not make myself ride that bike it just was not me, I get no joy out of sitting around talking about riding only when the wheels are turning, and a 1300 mile day is not a bad day for me on my GW and that was a 21.5 hour day, and if you really want to know who's who in the touring world go to a IBA rally and see which brand is represented the most.

That being said, I think Harleys are beautiful, reliable bikes too and hope someday to own one but I really love the GW with the manual transmission. Smooth and torque all through the rev range.

      I agree that the Wing keeps you from having a more visceral experience. But if I wanted to be more insulated from discomfort, I'd take my car. One big reason I got a Road King is to be able to remove the windshield and feel wind when wanting to get back to a basic raw experience. Motorcycling is a very sensual experience...it stimulates all the senses. Harley, because of their looks, sound, and feel, and the way they perform, provide a unique mechanical presence that appeals to many. Some want less noise and more smoothness, that's OK too! 👍

    lol, reminds me of the old Ford vs Chevy fights….most of the GW haters haven’t rode nor know anything about them. As for me, my hutt hasn’t experienced HD either. But when I consider an air cooled noise machine shaking my teeth out, it’s an easy choice. Every time I see guys on their HDs, they all look pissed, they never appear to be enjoying the ride. I had a guy the other day get off his street glide and come over to me at the gas pump and asked me about the “walking fwd, and bkwd” function; he was complaining that his HD doesn’t have that. I just shrugged and said but it’s loud, and we laughed, great thing abt being American, choice! You can choose whatever u want. As for the DCT, I don’t do burnouts or wheelys so the anti is fine by me. The manual shift levers are pretty cool too. Oh, the Apple CarPlay is awesome too.

    Wish you would have been able to test drive it just to see how it feels. I have only had harleys and all my friends are harley only but I see the goldwings putting tons of miles and running well for years...your opinion after riding would have been interesting tho

    Good video but you didn't do the goldwing justice, while your pushing your Harley to back up, the Goldwing has reverse, the Goldwing also has a double wishbone front suspension, navigation, am/fm/Sirius radio, 4 different ride settings, Bluetooth communications, touchscreen and manual display on handle bars ,plus keyless start.
    If you get the chance test ride one ,it is responsive with great balance with a low center of gravity, 1832cc boxer fuel injected engine smooth ,quiet, you can ride all day. Iron but ride is a piece of cake on a Goldwing . I have a Goldwing bike and just bought a trike and wouldn't want any other bike/trike. I just wanted to give the Goldwing a fair shake. What ever you ride get out and get some wind therapy and be safe. Riding season is here.

    The Harley Davidson has a visceral quality for sure but its no Goldwing on the open road. The Monorail / Steamboat analogy was very apropos. One is dated, cumbersome and slow the other contemporary , smooth and efficient. The typical outing on the Harley is a small fraction, distance wise, compared to the Wings . They occupy very different lanes for very good reason.

    I believe everyone should ride what they like and what is comfortable. To me Goldwings are ugly, to others my FLTHK is ugly, doesn't bother me. I also think that the RoadGlide is the most beautiful bike from the front and side, but when I'm riding it, it's ugly from the saddle. Just my opinion, I love seeing everyone in the wind and Happy on whatever they ride. I wave at them all. Have fun and stay safe!

    Gday Tall, I like your channel mate , but reviewing a bike without riding it, Is there a part two to this video ?? I am RKS owner but am researching the goldwing as a second bike ....... Of course the HD salesman will bag a honda , just like Matt Laidlaw has done , with Honda and Indian in his latest video... I would like to see the Goldwing in the Bagger race series with Hondas racing pedigree , would be very interesting with a good rider.

    I ride an Indian Springfield. Have laid many miles on her and as pleased as a rider can be. Like you described, love the look and the feel while riding. BUT, I’m considering a Goldwing as bike #2. I love it’s quiet exhaust, wind protection and the reduced, sport-touring cockpit. As I’ve described in my own TH-cam review, it’s not the most invigorating ride around town, but it is a great touring bike! That said, I won’t trade my Indian! - love your work-enjoy your videos - **consider coming over to Nashville and Let’s get you on an Indian for a ride! Or sell me on a Harley…Make for some fun content! God bless -ride safe

    Owner 3 Goldwing's before I started riding CVO Harleys. Great bikes but, you can refine something to the point that it becomes boring. That's where I was with the Wing... AS you guys said, as long as your riding and happy that's all that counts... Also, slow speed maneuvering with that DCT is not a pleasure...

    • @PitbullSoco
      @PitbullSoco ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Nor recommended by Honda themselves. Many are burning out their clutch packs in the dct versions doing slow speed maneuvers. Honda may warranty the first one but they tell you they won't warranty it again if you perform these maneuvers. To me, they should be up front when someone is looking to buy one and make sure they understand the dct won't hold up to that.

    I've had both, and at the same time, but I know this is a Harley focused broadcast, so this statement is not going to go over well.
    There's no comparison. The Goldwing is faster out of the box, (while only burning 87 octane) rides more smoothly (wishbone suspension) has better telematics and can out-handle a Harley all day long. Harley is into selling nostalgic technology, adding a bunch of chrome, and recycling it into the "new and improved" next year's model. Their market is more for customization and individuality.
    If you haven't ever ridden both a new Harley and a DCT Goldwing, sit this one out, until you do.
    Basically it boils down to this:
    Harley sells a better motorcycling experience.
    Honda sells a better motorcycle...

      It's just that if you're comparing bikes, it stacks up differently than a lot of your viewers would want it to go.

    Ok, Tall....

    Only speaking for myself, I've never owned a Harley, never wanted to own a Harley.... Rode metrics for 30+ years, 4 Suzukis. (Intruders) 2
    Kawasaki (Nomad 1500 & 1600), that last one I put a Hoppe batwing fairing on it & rode it to Sturgis & back, Twice & now I'm on the Indian Roadmaster..
    Does that make me a bad person?
    Was I not accepted by my fellow riders, where I live?
    No, I've been very happy & thankful for my "2 wheel" life. It's all good & I'll keep watching......
