I put 200,000 miles on my 04, much of it with a passenger and pulling a trailer. Tires, fluids and a set of plugs. That's all she needed. Finest motorcycle I've owned in 45 years of riding.
Nice review Jamie, thank you! France is the second main market for the Goldwing after the USA. 20% of the Goldwings sold here are actually used as taxis in Paris. The taxi companies love the old Goldwing because of its huge storage capacity, the comfort of the passenger seat, and the distance between the passenger and the rider. So the new Goldwing won't certainly fit them as well as the old one. But as a normal rider, I personally prefer the new one, as it looks much more dynamic and modern.
Great vid Jamie! you are the only one I've seen who actually showed the 2017 next to the 2018 and compared them. Great shots and explanation on the double wishbone suspension as well: once again unique and not seen elsewhere. Keep this up!
I probably wouldn't buy one, but I have the dream of grabbing one of these and do a US coast to coast.
Thank you, Jamie, for this awesome review. I got spoiled going from a Honda Superhawk sports bike to a Harley Davidson Fatboy. As I approached 60 I figured it was time to leave the sports bikes to the kids. Man, this bike has the best of two worlds integrated so seamlessly! I would love to take one of these on a state-to-state U.S. tour, just spend an entire year or so just touring.
best 2018 Goldwing review as far as I seen
Have to admit, it is nicer than the old one, and definitely a bit slicker looking. I wouldn’t kick it out of the garage if one was in there. Nice review as always Jamie 👍
The new front suspension looks brilliant for a large bike... probably a lot of weight but probably the new top of the line in big touring bike suspensions (where weight is not as big a deal).
Great review!! Thanks for taking the time on the details like the suspension and motor. So many have just glossed over them even at the same venue. Fantastic...Dealers in the area close too home are doing reveals this Saturday, can't wait to see and touch!!
Definitely need to test ride one of these. As a rider who never has a passenger I doubt I would buy one, my preference is for Sport Touring. Given the typical demographic of GW owners I can see why they elected to make the bike smaller and lighter, a lot of GW riders are a bit older and that old 900lb GW can be a problem for aging riders. There has been a trend as of late with older riders moving to smaller bikes for this reason.
This new Wing is a winner in all categories. Great review.
I ride an R1M and I think I'll be a little jealous when I see someone on one of these!! Beautiful machine! I guess I'm getting old hahaha.
It's even funnier when a Gold Wing leaves some squid with no riding skills on a super sport in the dust in a canyon.
mrvwbug44 You mean Yellow Wolf? 😁
Nice I've ridden in Texas and Fredricksburg but on a DR650 I wish I had a Goldwing for those long stretches of highway, I bet it just humms right along at 80mph
i had a Honda Shadow Sprit 750 for 11 years,I said screw it already indet up to my eyeballs you only get ticket so i got one. What an Awesome Machine
When I saw this at the NY motorcycle show I really liked how it looks. I thought I was the only one lol
0:20 I see you Ari
mayur kulkarni Lemmy from RevZilla was there, too
ha nice catch!
Nice review Jamie. I kept waiting for you to take it off road like the review you did a few years ago.
Great job on the review Jamie. Sure wish we had a few more laps on those karts, I think I could have caught you. HAHAHA
Great review. Really enjoyed how this was presented. Got my Motogeo T-shirt and stickers today, thanks!
Nice review. Thanks for sharing your video. I love my 2023 Dct Touring model. It's too bad Honda limits the top speed to 112mph. (4000rpm)
I love it but I have reservations on the panniers . They should of had them load from the top like the Guzzi California Vintage. I have a CTX1300 with similar panniers and it can be tough loading trying to get everything lined up to close.
Looking forward to your adv essentials vid from the intl motorcycle show
The constant movement towards larger cc engines is ridiculous. I own an older BMW R1100RT and it has more than enough power for ANY type of highway cruising. The same was true of my old 1996 Harley Electra Glide with a 1340cc engine. Where does this end? Do we all need a V-8 454cu in motorcycle engine next?
Nice review...but I'm happy with my 2015 R1200GS: lighter, fits me well, nimble, can lean it over farther than a Gold Wing.
As Honda has down sized the Wing it may be interesting to compare ride quality between the Wing and an ST 1300. I'll bet there isn't much in it on ride quality between the two with the big differences being down gadgets. On the subject of gadgets, and on a more personal note, I've always wondered if one had to have a propeller beanie to ride a Wing with all the gadgets and gizmos that it has.
You are such an iconic guy... great, great passion and work✅👏✅
Fabulous machine in terms of comfort and tech I'm sure but you failed to mention the gargantuan cost!! Who can afford one of these beauties? (I certainly can't!)....nice video as ever Jamie, keep up the good work...TMF
The ubiquitous TMF! When will you be taking one out for a spin?
I'd love too - not sure many will make it over hear as dealer demo's though - but if I can, I will!
TheMissendenFlyer
HGB are Goldwing specialists and hopefully will have a demo, maybe see you there!
Ooh I didn't know that - I'll definitely be having a word then! :0) Happy days and thanks for the heads up.....
We are getting the manual,bagger style version without the trunk in 2019. £22,295 I believe.Still a shed load of money but am sorely tempted,having owned a 2015 F6c in the past. The engine was fabulous.
Great Review!! I am need to go test ride one... The 2001 Harley Road King is getting a bit stale...
One thing is missing digital cluster letter . Need more big petrol tank atleaste 30litter
MotoGeo and a featured special with Air and Zack from MC for on two wheels!!! Would be awesome!
My goodness that glare on the dash would drive me crazy, that's my only gripe.
well you say it's not the same as the BMW, but... it is, well it's the same as an old BMW r1100 anyway... It's the same as a BMW telelever system, it may not be the same design, but it's the same concept and works in exactly the same way.
Exactly what I was thinking. I had an RT 1100 it ride so good I almost fell asleep a few times coming home from a 14 hour shift. Then it started to cost money in excessive maintenance,in my opinion. 77,+++ great miles before I sold it though.
I see lots of goldwing riders with a back supporter and the shorter seat I dare say will cause problems for many.
He somehow make the bikes handles really light.
Honda is smart making this thing a little smaller and making it appeal to the younger buyers. You cant keep cashing in on the older buyers because they are disappearing and they will end up like Harley.
Loving that new Arai Nicky replica! Right on Motogeo! #RideOnKentuckyKid
Waaay less storage that the older model. From 150 litres to just 110. That's a HUGE difference. A lot of old Wing lovers won't buy it.
And a lot will because of the smaller size and lighter weight that make the bike easier to handle, especially for an older rider. The aftermarket will fix the luggage space issue soon enough.
Because Honda knew most of the buyers would bring the trailer with it.
You'd pick this goldwing over the K1600GT and R1200RT for touring? (If the prices were the same)
It will depend on the place you live..the dealer after sale service..
With dct;You can't go wrong with Honda..'you can meet good friends on it'..Good luck, in the end it's Heart vs Brain..Follow your dream..
Very nice machine i dream to have one like this one day 🙏🏻
Great review! Have you seen the MCN one? Crap!
This bikes not my cupa; however, great review, Jamie!
Great bike and very nice looking, just not the bike for me. I hope Honda let's you ride and review the 2018 CB1000R if it comes to the states!
And sounds like V8 car! Love it
Every detail excellence!
Allways a good video, but the audio was terrible. Too much reverb. First time I was annoyed by the video due to the sound. Other than that, keep up the great videos and correct this one problem
Great bike
No side falling protection gear.. its instantly crush the engine if it get fall
Which camera did you use to record at 1:04 scene? Fantastic resolution
Awesome Jamie.I had a k1 :]
Nice bike!Thanks for your sharing!!
Well, it's about new goldwing! I will say so he is a simple motorcycle is good but not so stylish that old goldwing then? Since there are very few buttons on the console, it's too easy, it's bad, and even the rear passenger is very uncomfortable holding in the know that it can be repaired, but there are very few extra parts in the online store.
I Like MotoGeo form thailand
I had a 2014 Kawasaki Concourse 14, great for long distance touring like the Goldwing, but to heavy for riding in the city. So I got a 2015 Kawasaki Versys 1000LT in black and I love it, what do you think MotoGeo ?
Wow, usually Connie riders don't want to give up the power to go to a smaller bike (the Concours 14 is a REALLY fast bike by any measure). I actually found the Versys 1k to be maybe a little tall for my liking, and I ride a Versys 650. I've also sat on a few Connies and they are just as top heavy as the FJR, they are great when moving, but remind you just how big they are every time you stop.
mrvwbug44
You are so right, but the power on the Concourse was nice !
Don't like that there is no radiator protection,I hit a bird on my 2010,the bird wet through plastic screen
It does not have enough storage. Period. Its a solo bike. Whatsd the point of lightening the bike if I must pull a trailer? Again Hoina provides a substandard GPS. I prefer a Garmin mount built in so you could buy a standalone Garmin and upgrade it as time passes.
Superb review.
Awesome review ...
Redbull gives you wings but honda gives you gold wings. The ultimate long distance tourer.
833 lbs is 377 kg folks, still a decent weight for a bike like this though!
The best
'J' on a Goldwing, there are some things you would never believe unless you saw them.
Does it have a reverse gear.
Jamie are you on the toilet giving the voiceover? Haha
I've seen Ari Henning in the video somehow. :)
Honda is outselling HD.
really dont think they should have chopped off the luggage capacity :(
What about when the double wishbone needs some maintenance? Lot of hassle getting to it.
This is a perfect
B I K E
Looks like Civic is the daddy, CBR1000RR is the child and this GL1800 is the mommy
Pfffft, you need to check out Harley Davidsons new tourer. They added even more chrome parts.
I wonder if Markland still makes all the wing bling?
Was all ready to trade My ST1300 until I saw this Bike at Honda’s Daytona Bike week display. Epic fail for me on the range and storage. I really think Honda is going to have to offer a Grand Tour at some point. Why they never refreshed the ST is really a shame. BMW offers the R1200RT and the K1600GT(L). Both are similar in options with the obvious difference being the engine. The ST would have made a great entry level tourer with just a few minor upgrades/options. Plus it’s definitely easier on the wallet. With this new Gold Wing offering my ST became my favorite long distance STeed again. As for the BMW K1600GTL it just became a whole lot more competitive as well.
1975 goldwing was the best.
look twice motorcycles are everywhere
But you didn't take this one off road so not a true comparison yet ;-)
nice couch :)
Could imagine the price$$$$$$
Fuel consumption?
Jacky Jacky 6-6,5 l/100 km (DCT). Tested today, 50% city, 50% highway.
Dear santa.
Bye-bye K1600GTL Executive, hellooooo 2018 Goldwing. We most probably won't get it here in South Africa for it will be too expensive due to our weak currency and the panniers full of different taxes the government imposes causing vehicles to cost double to triple in other markets. Honda no longer sell big road bikes here apart from the Fireblade. And of course BMW dominates the market here, so much so that Kawasaki could not even unsettle them with their cheaper GT1400. Sigh.....
💕💕💕💕💕
I can't wait to but this bike in 30 years from some rich guy who rode it 500 miles and got bored
That’s no a review... that’s an ad! Seriously you couldn’t find one thing to be critical of? No problem with the reduced range due to the smaller tank? No qualms about the lesser storage capacity? Very partial review. Disappointed. How much did they pay you?
Да здравствуют рулевые наконечники )))
things like that is not a motorbike imo
damn its huge. at that point, why not get a car?
haha,well said! It's damn ugly bike. Never liked those kinda bikes. Way too bulky.
Deniz Erdem it's a bike thing you wouldn't understand
starrider1900 at what point do you think a bike is too big?
Deniz Erdem I ride a 1900 so I guess I wouldn't understand
Because car have four wheels
Being a biker i wonder why we still call these things motorcycles???spaceship will be more appropriate...that day is not too far when motorcycle will be ridden by chauffeurs😪
I agree with Sahil Bhai. It's one ugly piece of #$%^
Why do we still call these things motorcycles? Because it's a two wheeled vehicle powered by a motor.
