    Hilarious working at a motorcycle dealership. Anybody that has never ridden one has NO IDEA of the brutal spaceship power delivery and tech. They eat stage 3 HD CVOs like candy and they almost are too good to be considered a motorcycle. Such a phenominal and powerful package out of the box. Suprises 90% of riders on their first ride.

    As a 6 year old in the early 70’s, I remember looking at the original Honda line up: Gold wing 1000, CB 750/4, CB400/4. I dreamt of a 400/4 as I thought the Gold wing would be too big for me.
    50 years later I still think it’s to big (although I did get the own a 400/4 in my early 20,s)
    Great review. Love the channel. You’ll soon be at 100k subs.

      I still have my 550 four bought new in '75 though it needs a lot of TLC to get back on the road. I rode regularly in the late '70s with a buddy who had the first Wing in 1975. Interestingly enough though worlds apart my '18 has a lot of that original DNA both being horizontally opposed shaft driven bikes.

    Yes Chopsy! Great to see the GL1800 added to your vast library of videos. I love how you started out not certain if you would like it, and later you were laughing inside your helmet. Brilliant.
    One of the first (massively appealing) things I picked up on was the sound from that engine! A bit of Kool & The Gang through the village 😂
    A bike I would definitely consider, and when the Tour is an extra £5k 😳 the standard featured here could be the one.
    It may not be the video many had expected, but I'm sure it's opened people's minds to big laid-back bikes.

These bikes are a pain below walking speed, thankfully fantastic on the road.

    I have that version from 2021 here in the states, the bagger, not bagger. It's a joy to own. Prior to this, I had an SV650 for puttering around, but wanted something with some storage and a bit of weather protection. You don't see many of these around my way (mostly Harleys, been down that road already) so I figured it would be a fun and unique bike. It was a choice between this and a GS A for me, and since I don't have the funding or time to go do the Pan-Am highway run or tour Alaska via the ALCAN, the 'wing was the right choice. FWIW, even with the DCT, it's fine at low speeds in lots and stop and go and crawl traffic.

    Well done. Finally a review that doesn't describe the wing as 'agile'! You mention tmf, in his video of why he likes his wing everything he says is what he doesn't like about bikes. Massive smooth engine, like a car. Dct, like a posh car. Huge presence, like a car. Comfort and wind protection, like a car. Massive dashboard, like a car...I'm convinced an RT or GS would get me to the Alps just as quick in relative comfort and be much more fun once there.

After many years riding the manual shifters I got a 23 GW DCT bagger and being 6'4" I find the bike is great fun and so much more comfortable compared to the 26"H Indian seat and the 32"H KTM 1290 SuperAdventure. Ok so I may be a Goat but this bike is fun, cruiserish and Tour capable. Don't think I'll go back to the clutch/foot work. Keep up the good work and ride happy!

      Had that going off all the time when I got my '22 GW about 4 months ago. Tire pressure for both tires is 36 PSI and if it's cold and the TPMS sensor sees a 35 that light is guaranteed to annoy you. Keep mine aired up to 38-ish and never see it any more.

    I've gotten 57 MPG on an hour long loop through the back roads of Howard County, MD in 7th gear at 45-50 MPH. My 10,000 mile average is 47 MPG. Not that I'm concerned about the MPG too much but I wanted to see how well she would do if I tried to maximize the MPG on a short loop. The reverse gear saved my bacon on a road I found that turned into a single lane gravel route with a high crown. I may not have been able to pull off the 3 point turn without it. The breeze with the short screen completely raised is about the same as my Cobra convertible and though I didn't think much of the adjustable screen I use it all of the time. Have to admit I wanted the manual but needed the reverse being an old dude and the bagger only came with reverse with the DCT. Hated the DCT at first and now have come to love it though I use manual mode most of the time. As most of us do I still lust after new bikes all the time but will be hard pressed to ever part with this one.

    Great video and thanks for taking time to show us. I have a 2017 Honda NC750X that is like the Goldwing you showed. One important thing with those wings, if like my NC750, when the bike is off, it is in neutral and that hand break is a must. A Goldwing is the best bike (up to me). In August and September, I have done 3 Iron Butt rides (one 1600km and two 2000km) and I found out that over 20 hours on the wings is not a hard thing.

I have done 2 rides where I lost my camara and had no proof, I forgot my mid point receipt, but my third ride, I found out SpotWalla that I used on my third ride and one ride prior that got mixed up (but that's another story).

      @@rebeccaharris2273 I think anyone can drive a Goldwing, but remember this is a heavy bike. The advantage with older wings, you could set the height of the bike, but with the new ones, it's not as easy. If this is not your first bike, it might be OK, but try and sit on an older and one newer Goldwing to see the difference and how can it be better for you. Usually in stores, they will have both Wings and the keys to permit you to test the height of the seat and the weight to control. Good luck in your choices, keep your hair in the wind and rubber on the ground.

    The size does not worry me as I think weight wise its less than my Harley.
    I think I would go for the tour version and look for a quick release option for the trunk that way keeping the 'extras' the tour has but the option to go 'bagger naked' lol

      I don't think you'd regret making the switch.... and you can go with either the DCT manual or the traditional manual if you get the full kitted Gold Wings, it's only the Bagger type without the top box that can now only be had with the DCT manual.... unless you don't care about finding one used that is, because the slightly older bagger type Wings were available in traditional manual still.....but finding a used Wing with less than 100k miles is sometimes a chore 😅 these things get ridden and they last for hundreds of thousands of miles and people don't let them sit.

    Worth making the point that you can ride this as totally a manual bike using the paddles in 'manual mode', rather than just using it to go down gear before an overtake while in auto. You might ask well why would you? It's a DCT so use the DCT, but it can be a bit of fun now and again to put in manual and go up and down the gears when you want to rather than when Mr Honda decides that you should. Apart from that, I agree most of what you are saying. I really like my 2022 Goldwing Bagger, sorry Non-Tour! Matt blue as well. For 2023 its dark grey only. Take it or leave it.

    Bought a DCT Tour in 2020. Took it back when the engine paint started coming off at first wash. They offered to replace the cylinder head....er, NO! £28k bike, needs to have been perfecto. Got a full refund after much pain dealing with your favourite dealer, Wheels. Will never go back to them that's for sure. I'm sure they're fine when things go well, but instead of selling me a replacement they tried to hang me out. Anyway, in the meantime I just decided that my testosterone level was still a little too much for a bike like that. You were completely correct when you said it's not a bike for scratching the back roads. Overtaking has to be carefully planned because it feels fast, but it's not. A 1290 S - never have to think about overtakes, it just does it, the Goldwing needs more care. More care means it's a bit dull (for me at least). I liked that you can pootle along at 2mph and my wife loved the back seat but also thought it was dull compared to the rush of the 1290. Not really comparable bikes, I know that, but if you've got blood in your veins I doubt you'll appreciate the Goldwing as it's for cruising and mile munching, not for adrenaline production.

    That’s exactly how to review the Goldwing, absolutely the best overview I’ve seen thus far. You truly “Got Down on It” and I’ve been waiting years to see someone do so; I expect most can imagine how it’ll plod about.... Thinking I’m ready for a GW and this will probably put me over the top, however WTF is Honda thinking painting them matt colors? How can the demographic studies indicate that? It’s beyond me and continues too put me off one, they look unfinished and will look far worse 6 months down the road with assorted surface scratches and can’t be repaired. I hope they’re not looking to hook HD buyers/riders. Thank you for sharing and keep up the wonderful reviews!!

      I agree with you. The Honda 2023 color choices suck. Mine is a 2021 non-tour DCT. Best bike ever! Last one was a Yamaha FJR. The GL1800 BD outshines it, despite the higher weight. Its not as nimble, but it isn't so tough in the twisties once you gain experience. In every way the GL1800 is the ultimate riding experience.

At my age reverse and a DCT is looking mighty fine also, but, as stated I don’t think Honda’s getting my money until they actually lose all that matt paint slathered on it. I want my bikes shiny and able to be polished if/when necessary; I called American Honda to expressed this and the POC I spoke with agreed, said he’d push it up to Marketing management. If enough people bitch it might just happen, just hope it’s before I lose interest. Cheers.
