    Honda continuing the tradition of putting sewing machine engines in its cars and plane engines in its motorbikes. Nice review. Subbed.

    I swore I'd never own a Goldwing back in the day. They were one of the ugliest looking bikes on the highway. This however, looks very good! They have that triangular form that I love to see on a motorcycle and it's angles are all great. Those red covers on the engine really make this thing pop.... and "pop" is not a word I'd ever have used on the older Goldwings. Lol

    I have a ‘19 Tour DCT and I love it. So far, it’s my most favorite bike ever. Trunk, 4 speakers, heated seat, electronically adjustable suspension, taller windshield, and maybe something else I’m forgetting. If I had known that color scheme was coming for ‘20, I would have waited and bought that B model. Next time you try one, try shifting yourself in manual mode/sport mode, especially if you can find some twisties. Maybe in Scotland... I’d love to make that ride myself.

    I own 2014 F6B and l love my bike but the 2020 has taken it to a new level. The adjustable windscreen is a great idea especially for city riding in summer weather or light cruising speed in hotter climates. I live in Ontario Canada the southern region and our weather seems to have more extremes than Great Britain summers get to plus 35C and our winters get to -20C so l think windscreen adjustability is important and your right seems odd there is no heated seating. Great review, just thought I’d give you my opinion.

    Great review, do the NC500 when you're in Scotland, go clockwise and do Applecross, a MUST, when you get to the very top left (Durness) drop back down through the middle (at Tongue). Awesome country. Well worth a week. Climb Ben Nevis when you're there - great SYHA hostel right under the mountain. Enjoy! Don't go on a bike wih a wee fuel tank.......you'll run out on a Sportster!

    The red valve covers with the red accents on the wheels and bags looks wicked ...sorta reminds me of the '21 CVO Roadglide Black Hole paint scheme.

    I've been thinking of getting a big cushy-bike like this. Because I like power (I currently have a Ducati Diavel 1260 S as my main bike), I was thinking of getting a Triumph Rocket 3 as more of a 'long range' riding bike and putting a nice big windshield on it. If you've ridden the Rocket 3, can you share your thoughts comparing it to the Gold Wing? I know the power us much less on the Gold Wing. But I'm assuming the comfort level is way higher.

    Nice vid. Not much change out of thirty grand for one of these with some options though. I would just buy a fast convertible and go for a drive with my seatbelt off :)

      I'd much rather buy a bike than a car personally but that's the beauty of choice.

      @@Englishbikerdan I would love a go on one of them but I doubt i would buy one. Sticker price aside even the pcp need a lot deposit and I think this bike is a little bit too car like with its auto box and stereo. Could buy two bikes! I know this bike isn’t aimed at me mind. Disposable cash rich over 50s I guess ( but then isn’t that most uk bikers these days)
