    I had my demo ride at 10:30 and had never ridden a gold wing ...I was absolutely BLOWN AWAY by it. It got me thinking for sure because I’ve never had any interest in a bike like that. I just couldn’t believe how nice it rode.

    The windshield goes down automatically when you shut the engine off, not when you come to a stop. I test rode one last weekend. Now I gotta have one !

    The latest Goldwing I rode was 2005 model year and I was BLOWN AWAY.... I can't even imagine how nice and beautiful 2018....
    You kept saying the same thing over and over COMFORTABLE.... This is exactly the word... You can ride it all day long.

    You won't know what a goldwing is about until you get one out on the road. Doing a quick review run around town won't do it. Once you get a goldwing out on the road, you will see what they're about.

    I rode one and I was interested for having one, but then I put all on paper pros and cons : I ride Indian Chieftain 18, and I'm use to on forward controls and highway pegs, Goldwing comes with small sport bike pegs midpositioned not a lot of space for stretching your legs, you feel little bit trapped especially if you wear boots with a heel, not pleasant shifting and your toes will constantly hit the engine since shifter peg is very near engine. Then sitting position, I'm 5.8 and I had backrest on that test ride Honda, useless , you are sitting just a touch forward, or straight, so your spine will not be leaning on backrest, maybe with a highway pegs you can lean on backrest. Then heat, Chieftain gets hot on uppers level of your legs near balls 😉 , on the other side Goldwing is liquid cooled engine, still your calf will be on fire, and seat as well. I rode Goldwing on 90'F . Seat was very stift , not leather compering with Chieftain seat which is leather and very comfy. Then infotainment on Goldwing is not that sophisticated like Indian, no touch screen, no split screen, you have to be in right screen do some command. For example : if audio player is not on screen, you can't move to a next song. And a lot of buttons, kinda overwhelming, on handlebars buttons everywhere, I'm not sure you need all of them, very confusing. And windshield, even with windshield all the way up you will have some wind coming on your ears, since windshield is it's kinda narrow compering with Chieftain windshield, same power windshield. And Goldwing is very difficult when it comes to a approach of certain features, no quick release of tour pack, not a lot of mods to do on the bike.. On the other hand, suspension, acceleration, feeling is better on Goldwing, riding modes. Goldwing is more sport touring bike, where Chieftain is true cruiser, very different. This is my opinion, what ever suits you. Keep riding folks.

    Comparing the GW to your crotch rocket is just asinine. Listening to you whine about handling and acceleration was difficult to stomach. I’ve been on my 2018 Wing for two and a half years and can ride it on any winding twisting road with ease. I can get out on the highway in fast moving traffic with ease , and I’m a big dude. It hauls me without the slightest hesitation. I ride about 800 miles a week commuting. I wouldn’t trade this bike for any other bike on earth.

    It's a tank. They're sort of weird, in my opinion. The previous generation, were tanks also, but they served the purpose of being a REALLY great touring bike, for "mom and pop". They were larger, roomier, and had better creature comfort, for the touring purpose. This new one, I can't see that. It seems too "spartan", and basic, to be a great touring cycle. It's a goof bit smaller. It's not a sport touring platform, either. I don't see it fitting any purpose.

    • @CurtisL8.3066
      @CurtisL8.3066 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Man this generation of the Wing is freaking amazing, might be the greatest motorcycle ever built. The old GL1800 is really really big, this one is a bit firmer, kind of like going from a Cadillac to a BMW sports sedan. However, I’m gonna need these things to depreciate for a few years before I can afford one. Best be sure I’ll be in the market when they get down to 10 grand used.

    Know your subject before commenting. You commented it didn't accelerate too well, that's because you were in "TOUR MODE". "ECON" will make the throttle response less. Bla bla bla.
    Doubt you can even ride a sports bike very well listening to you.

    A friend and I went to Malcom Smith I drove him there to look at and R1 he wanted to buy one on the spot. We go in and talk to a sales person. They say, no test rides. Really! So being the BMW rider I am I said, hey let’s go right across the way to Riverside BMW they have a demo bike for nearly every model, try the S1000RR. We went, they handed him the keys and said go wherever you wanna go. He bought the BMW.

      tod ok 🤣 haha the people who have seen the video I’ve made about it tend to believe it! Enjoy your Honda! Mine didn’t make it to its first oil change without me having issues. I always thought the saying was “you meet the nicest people on a Honda”. The dealer didn’t allow test rides until you did a credit check. Then I started having problems and the dealer basically blew me off until I got started on the lemon process. Unlike “fanboys” I gave Honda a try and stepped away from my BMW and Honda has their bike back now. I’m still enjoying my old RT with nearly 90,000 miles on it. 😎
