Honda continuing the tradition of putting sewing machine engines in its cars and plane engines in its motorbikes. Nice review. Subbed.
Haha 👍
I do not own a bike, not even bike driving licence, but I enjoyed this video so much =D
what a machine
I’ve had mine almost two months and I’m STILL getting used to sport mode. Best, most amazing motorbike I’ve ever owned. I can filter/ lane split
most of the time in California 🇺🇸; she’s not as wide as you think.
Superb.
"Dear Santa .......... "
Yeah, dear santa..
@@dleebox2268 Tell santa me too and I am prepared to pay for it too
Sweet bike! DCT on a huge touring bike makes perfect sense.
Dan great to see so much content recently. Your reviews are really well made and entertaining. Keep it up.
Thanks for watching.
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
this bike has more power than my car, what a beast! I dream to ride one of those in the countryside
most bikes have more power m8 :p
I watched another review of the Goldwing a few months ago and he too was very impressed by its sportiness. So THIS will be my next bike-- as soon as I win the lottery!
I absolutely love my 2020 wing tour! It’s such a pleasure to ride..
Oh wow! For a touring bike, this big baby seems pretty fast. What a beast. Truly mesmerizing.
Amazing bike. And I like the styling.
I would love to be able to ride that around the U. S. for about twenty thousand miles!
Just what I needed, an opportunity to live vicariously having just admired this beauty/beast at my local Honda dealer!
Awesome review thank you! It is a great time to be alive. I never thought I would see a cool goldwing. I'm in love.
One of my dream bikes tbh.
Not really a fan of cars, more of a lifetime biker myself. One day when I'll finally settle down, you bet this'll be what you find me on.
Exactly how i feel
Now I am in love with Goldwing and will value this bike from now on
Sounds like a 2 wheeled accord v6 when it revs up
Your production and presentation are very nice.
We gonna reach bigger subs very soon
That sport mode really pulled you with it🤣
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 wish I was twenty years younger! If this had been around when I was biking, I'd have bought one in a heartbeat!
Its never too old to ride
As an Aussie. I am fed glad to see pommie reviews. Sick of seeing Americans ramble on like it’s a reality tv show. Thanks for the good review mate. 👍🏻
Thanks dude, I just ramble on like I'm on Antiques Roadshow instead! :D
The Bat- Bike comes with a price but with Honda, your getting relability for the entire time you own that beast ! What technologically advanced beautiful motocycle !! I Love It !!
Blessed to know what I want in life. Love the Gsxr but this thing just deserves so much respect
Love the colour of that bike, looks awesome and sort of futuristic.
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.
Appreciate it, that's a massive difference in temps!
I'm also in southern Ontario Shawn and I thought the exact same thing as you did when he mentioned lowering the screen and wondering why anyone would want to. I put my windshield down a lot in the summer, just to get some air in your face.
They used the same graphics scheme as the non ATAS Africa Twin form 2020. Personally, it is my favorite color scheme.
Thanks Dan. Watching your video is helping me to get through a long COVID winter here in Canada. I can't wait to get back on the road come spring.
Thanks and I'm glad the vids are helping you get the through winter! 👍😘
I agree Dan. It has a bit of the fire blade about it from the front on the revision and in the matt black with the red highlights it looks good. That engine note as well.
I've had my Goldwing for 19yrs, getting time to buy another one
Do it! 😁
Eventually they merged the Pan European styling with the Goldwing. Looks sooooo much better than fully dressed.Yummy
The tech in this thing.. I never thought I’d see this in motorcycles
Same here
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!
Haha, my uncle owns the 2018 version! i was a passanger on it and it was really really fun! Epic bike! :D
They are great fun eh, even as a pillion!
I'm here for the nice tour along English roads!
I like the Gold Wing, it looks kind of like a big scooter. I want one...
You want everything man
I looks indeed as a scooter, to many it be the reason to not buy it.
The older Goldwing models looked much nicer to many
Lovely review Dan! Would be very interested in hearing your opinion on your favorite bikes in terms of comfort and performance
The problem is, most bikes these days are really good! I've been thinking about a top 5 bikes of 2020 video so maybe it'll happen :D
I can at least cry for this motorcycle. It's free
Noe all I need is somebody to forward this to Honda in Japan. I am a buyer in germany frankfurt who has been throwing at the head office of honda in frankfurt to buy just this bike and they wont have it. No idea if they are getting any in 2021 either. What the hell is going on???
I'm A Harley Street Glide And 650 Suzuki Burgman Owner.... Gotta Have This As My 3rd Bike.... Gotta Have One.
Damn..i was literally riding along as i watched this video.. that is one awesome bike
In a Review it would be nice if you took the bike on the road when its dark so you can see all of the lights on it (dashboard etc...)
I love my Yamaha FJR1300, but that Goldwing is tempting.
Flat six rumble love it, for its size seems nimble but it’s missing those Southern Californian rays just not the same riding around rainy Southern England - nice review
I agree, it's always better riding in the sunshine! 👍😎
Imagine Honda making this same bike but in a cruiser version without the front end it would be so cool
That would look cool!
Honda Valkyrie is almost exactly that.
Yeah. It would be nice to see someone do a conversion to make it more look more like a Rune.
Probably the most naturally entertaining motorcycle review i've ever watched on youtube! Greetings from the far east. And i've been to scotland, twice. :D
Thanks very much! 😊
Great review, thanks Dan. I think I'd be a bit bothered about what happens when your foot his gravel, stopping on a cambered road. Lovely to ride, a bugger to move about in and out of the bike shed. Happy Christmas Dan.
Yeah she's a big girl at a standstill but light on her feet! Have a wonderful Christmas and New Year too Ross!
That’s why there is a creep forward and reverse mode. No issues.
Great Video Dan I do quite like the DCT it’s so effortless. Think I’m going to add this one to my list to test. Take care Jake.
Thanks Jake, I am also a DCT convert and I thought I'd hate it. Cheers!
Very nice review! The new gen Goldwing is an outstanding bike, that's why I've owned one for two years! 😁
Man, how I wish Honda did the black/red color scheme for the 2021 tour ...I might've needed to trade in my '14 murdered out black Goldwing for it if they did! 😁
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 love that enormous sheet of glaring plastic covering the instruments.
First Goldwing I find that looks awesome. Great review.
Since the redesign of honda holding they all look great.
Love from Kerala 😊♥️
Wow!
This is really a huge road runner.
And your review awesome
Keep it up .
"I don't mind admitting that I actually think ", that might be the most British start of sentence I've ever heard 😀. Fantastic bike !
We're nothing if not polite! 😂
2:40 damn that sounds like a Porsche! I guess I shouldn't be surprised considering the engine configuration hahah.
I was coming up on that time stamp, ready to call you a liar, but as an owner of a 997 4S for 2 years, I can say with full confidence that you are correct.
Brilliant review once again dan, keep it up, and you should come to Scotland next year, brilliant biking roads everywhere 😂😂
Was meant to do NC500 this year. Hopefully next year!
@@Englishbikerdan I also supposed to be doing it next year as I've just got my a2 licence and have a 2013 cb500x to do it on, maybe we'll see each other on it haha
@@Englishbikerdan if you head up this way I know a few extra roads to do. As I live on the nc500 just message me
Goldwing vs rocket 3 gt ? still undecided what to buy when my six numbers are drawn on a Saturday
Pirbright bends... lovely road!
Awesome bike I find I am now a convert to the gold wing they look so much sleeker these days if I could afford one I would definitely have one good review cheers : )
Awesome beautiful bike ..... reminds me of my K1600 B ❤️
I would love to ride it, I am a DCT fan, but I wouldn't like to handle the weight. One slip of the boot and you are over then you need a couple of weight lifters to get it back up again. My NC750X is heavy enough... Good clear review, subscribed.
Thanks Steve! Yeah she's a big girl!
Dont mind admitting??? its stunning.. best bike ever.
Beautiful review. You made me desire this bike completely.
That sound is amazing, seems like a luxury V8 car
Hehe, flat 6 like a Porsche. Absolutely lovely sound. 👍
I too never thought I would ever consider a Goldwing, these newer ones arent sexy, but they are much less ugly 😁 sounds great, cant wait to try one (manual).
How times change. Not an ounce of shiny on a bike that used to be dripping with the stuff.
Ah it was nice to see where you were riding. The A31 was my old stomping ground :)
I think the windshield would lower for when ur in a hot environment n need a cool down I'd imagine
Nice tourer , please make a video explaining the different octane rating of gasoline and petrol with example of which bike uses what 🙏👍
It sure is nice. That sort of subject isn't really of interest to me. I just call it "go go juice". :)
Thanks for the honest review Dan.. This is my favorite bite btw!
Not having adaptive cruise control on the DCT Goldwing does seem like an omission; that and an onboard urinal would be welcome additions.
What a beautiful machine
Yes love these bikes someone rides scooters would love ride one of these !! What about rideing in snow😁
'Mallu traveler' a big youtuber from kerala India 🇮🇳 own a 2015 goldwing😍❤️❤️
Nice vid , Dan 👍
It makes me think of a Harley from a distance seen from the side...?
I never liked this bike but this one looks modern and ‘sporty’, I’m pleasantly supprised actually ☝️
Yes, definitely that Harley bagger vibe. It is quite pleasant to look at and really plush to ride! Thanks!
Review so fun to watch I hammered that subscribe and like buttons!! Thanks Dan!
An awesome review as all ways ❤️...That instrument cluster tho🔥🔥🔥 luv from Indian🇮🇳 bro
Sounds Incredible 🤯
Id buy one of those if it came in any other color than primer black.
I like it's previous model
Phenomenal bike, love the review
This review and its acceleration reminded me of the Blackbird I had... I am watching RE Himalayan reviews to buy one and rode the CB500x in Thailand - its just not the same anymore. I am very confused what to get that is light and powerful, I don't want a forward leaning bike.
Wow what a behemoth!! 😳
Do you have a link to the podcast you were talking about towards the end of the video? Also, big fan of the content as well as the picture and sound quality of these videos.
I have a vw golf mk4 1.8 non turbo, and has got 125hp with 170Nm torque, but it's a 4 cylinder, surprised how similar the specs are lol
My dream bike
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.
Hey, I've not ridden the Rocket 3 yet but it'll happen when it warms up a bit here so keep an eye out. I'd love to ride a Diavel. Cheers 👍
LOL you sounded genuinely terrified when you put it in sport mode
It was unexpected!
@@Englishbikerdan In Canada you cant even buy a Goldwing right now. Everyone has so much excess "recreational money" that they were all bought up. 2 separate dealers have just told me you wont see another one available until at least some time next year.
Hi Dan, do you have any plans to review a Honda Rebel 1100? I like watching your videos because I used to work in watchmoor Park and I recognise every part of your test route so can really imagine the ride! thanks!
davidson destroyer! enuff said
Try the Indian challenger i have 65000 on a vtx and I am looking at a Indian because they last and are smooth
Good video! I fancy the bagger but no heated seats? That’s a must!
Gotta get the tour
I thinks it's inspired from Honda PC800 Pacific Coast
Nice review. Seems odd with out shifting. But I look forward to trying
Once you notice you're riding a Prawn from District 9.
Not sure I see the resemblance, but great film!
I want this.....damn it...I wasn't into all this until now.
I have a 1975 gold wing is auto shift a dct a slush box I like quiet of gold wing please quote pounds mpg the American measure the flat engine is best engine design for center of gravity is low when compared to indian and Harley Davidson witch made of iron and v twins put wieght high like in Texas to California. I wish he did city driving and some long upgrades. I like full dresser big bags and trunk. How does it do pulling a trailer. I would miss carport ment in tank like my 75
Sounds like Steve McQueens Mustang in the film Bullit !
Love the bike! Reminds me of the Moto Guzzi MGX-21
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 :)
You could buy a nice MX5 and still have change out of thirty grand !!
I'd much rather buy a bike than a car personally but that's the beauty of choice.
So would I, but not that bike. I love my street twin, that’s perfect fo me. Best regards.
@@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)
I got mine for 21k 🇺🇸 New old stock 2019 black on black on black✌️
