Hello there! You guys are incredible motorcycle safety advocates! So your opinions are both welcome and valuable when it comes to topics like this. We agree that this may be more than necessary when it comes to alerting riders - but could be potentially more distracting . And as you mentioned, riders relying on gadgetry more than their own instincts and skill may find themselves in a bad place. Thanks for checking out the video and supporting the channel. Have a safe and happy holiday!
It’s not the tech that makes the ride…your bikes a monster and sure doesn’t need any extra tech to make it fun to ride!! Thx for supporting the channel…
Take a Top of the Line Touring bike and just fix the current tech failures. GPS, looks and feels 2nd rate. Rider connectivity (Bluetooth) surely Honda knows a better way. My 2018 needs phone plugged in and headset blue toothed and sometimes takes a few rounds to get it right. Fix the current problems, where I stop, shutoff, fuel up, restart, connect everything AGAIN, and take off
Omigosh that was not a good scene- motorcycle accidents never are. Hope you had a spectacular Christmas and we wish you prosperous and stress free new year. Mike still hasn’t forgotten about air hockey 🤣
Riiiiigght!??? Our GW was in the shop way too many times since we got it- Reliability is what’s on our holiday moto shopping list! Thanks for your wise comment!
I am 62 and have been riding since I was 18. My last bike was a 2005 Honda VTX 1800n and I loved it. Getting back into another bike in 2025 and I was looking at the DCT Goldwing or the 1250RT but the cost is so incredibly high they won't be getting me as a customer. Looks like a Kawasaki Vaquero may be the ticket and even with the 5-6k in upgrades I plan on I will still be easily under the 30K (Canadian) mark, taxes and all the other nonsense included.
We agree that the Goldwing is one expensive and overpriced bikes on the market. There other bikes on the market that get the job done. No matter what you choose. We wish you many, many safe miles of riding fun. Thank you for watching and taking time to write in-
With Honda's recent reveal of the V3 engine with electric compressor, and the lack of the NT1100 DCT in the US, Honda should give us a 1300cc bike with some of the sensor and adaptive cruise technology along with low maintenance features like shaft drive. Less weight, lower cost, and simpler technology could be the right bike for the right price.
Wow! Good thinking-that idea would definitely fill a market opportunity niche- It will be interesting to see what they do with that new three cylinder engine. We want to thank you for checking out the video and weighing in with a very interesting comment. Let us know if you hear anything else about it.
All they'd have to do is bring back a SERIOUSLY updated ST1300 and they'd have a WINNER!!! I love my 2004 ST but, she's getting rather dated. She's a great ride but I want the features common on modern touring rigs...Things like Cruise Control...Integrated infotainment system with Android Auto/Apple CarPlay...a little more HP...some of the modern rider aids like cornering ABS...
@@DaveC_TN Yes, the ST was a great bike. Honda's had some interesting engines and bikes over the years. The old 4 cylinder Goldwing, the CX v-twin like the Moto Guzzi, the shaft drive inline 4 cylinder CB700 and 900, and the V4 shaft drive VFR1200. I think a new ST or 4 cylinder Goldwing "lite" 1300ish would be nice.
How much is too much? Thanks for weighing in- We love hearing how the vloggers and viewers about this one ☝️- Thx for stopping by… always good to hear from u!
@@MiddleAgeRoadRage Some say you can't put a price on safety. I say the cost should match the aftermarket network. If I can buy a solid third-party product for $300. Honda should not be adding the same basic product to the bike for an extra $1000. Just my 2 cents.
Hey! We are here to protect and swerve! We do love this brand and this community! And we feel so grateful to have your personal support. Honda certainly has the lockdown on technology and development- Wishing you a merry merry week…
I kind of agree with Mike. As someone who has also been in a wreck because of a car hitting me, there was no chance any early warning could have help. And I'm old school too so I don't really want or need this stuff.
We hear you. And we value the opinions of our Gold Wing community- Yet some may argue differently? Safety is king when it comes to avoiding accidents- Glad you survived your incident- And glad you’re part of our viewership- thanks for connecting today and stay safe out there!
I think we could use adaptive cruise, and blind spot detection, but not sure on all the rest of the warning lights al over your dash, they should probably upgrade our dash it's going on 7 years old, love my 2018 but all the competition has gone with the bigger screens and touch screens, but my 2018 DCT tour still puts a smile on my face every time I ride.
The riding is the best part-and there certainly was a time where the current dash was state of the art. But it’s definitely showing its age now. We are so curious to see when items like this will hit production… We thank u for watching and writing- Hope that 2018 brings many more miles and smiles 😃
That is a great question and it's super interesting to note that these technologies have been considered in the past! We reported on prior radar adaptive cruise control patents released in the last two years, but we did not report on LiDAR- And we personally have been reporting on RUclips just since May of 2022… In consideration of your comment, many initial tech plans get rewritten and refined and new developments are made- Thanks for bringing this up and thanks for connecting with the community and watching our video- We appreciate it!
I have been wanting adaptive cruise control for quite a while, blindside detection, so I’ve been wanting this and yes, what is the cost? I already have my gold wing that I’ve done into a trike and it’s a 22DCT tour, if they come out with this, can we can it be added to existing bikes ? This was a great video great information thank you guys for doing it. I will be staying tuned. Have a great day and wishing you a merry Christmas and a happy new year and whenever you do ride ride safe.
Welcome to the Middle Age Road Rage channel community ! We are thrilled to have you ride alongside! Thank you for your kind words- and for taking time to view and share your thoughts- That’s a great question-wouldn’t it be great to add this check to an existing bike as an aftermarket add-on, for folks that are really interested in having it?! No one else has brought this point up to us- But for now, we have to see when this new tech will debut - as Honda does show what’s in the cookie jar- but doesn’t always share- Thx agn for sharing comments and watching- Merry Christmas and Happy Year New to u and yours…
Pricing should be an interesting topic, as we move into a changing economy and increased tariffs on imports vs domestics - Thank you for weighing in and for watching the video and taking time to write -
We appreciate you thinking about it. 🤔 Maybe anything helping riders avoid accidents is a good thing…Stay safe out there and thx for watching and writing in! Happy Holidays and merry merry to you!
Interesting. After riding in cars with all the safety whistles and bells I can deal with the safety alerts and braking, especially in city driving. But, I ride motorcycles to relax and enjoy the roads and scenery on two wheels while trying to avoid traffic. I don't want to ride a two-wheeled automated car. I do want a bike that can identify autonomous cars and trucks! We'll see how far motorcycles go with the techno.
So yeah- u are Team Mike all the way on this topic- The car experience is a different mindset altogether- Two wheels 🛞 represents a sense of freedom like no other- Thank you for checking out the video and checking in with your point of view…
More horsepower is number one in our list too. And it seems it could be an opportunity for inflated numbers on pricing. Perhaps then it’s the best bike to target market with the tech? We shall see see and time will tell- Sending wellness, prosperity and cheer for a new year! Thanks for stopping by.
Some great questions here... You either hop on the tech train or get left behind. If it's not an upgradable firmware thing, I'm afraid I'm opting for left behind. I've spent my lifetime budget for motorcycles ;-) Happy Holidays guys !
Time will tell- We are not sure how much is too much, But it feels like we are getting pretty close. Grateful you took time to watch and respond- Thank you!
I need sharks with freakin’ lasers !!!! Anyway, tech stuff is getting way over the top on touring bikes. I don’t know if it is because we skew as an older set buying these type of bikes so maybe it is a way of saying they have to help us with our diminishing reaction times. Who knows?
Laser sharks 🦈 now you’re talking!! Pew Pew Chomp Chomp How did we ever survive and make it this far without a laser bike?! Rider assist features are a blessing or a curse depending who ya talk to - Thx for checking it out and checking in…
I would say no thanks to a radar system. Would much rather see an update to the bike like getting rid of some of the buttons and putting in a fully customizable touch screen dash and maybe a few body changes to bring it up to date. When I'm on a motorcycle I want to be fully in control of everything Period!!
You're not alone! The current tech overload is making some riders feel less connected to the traditional motorcycle experience- People often get on bikes to disconnect from the pressures of daily life for a little wind therapy. Lots of folks agree with you about a touch screen - Thank you you sharing you opinions and for watching our video- we appreciate it!
Hi- Thanks for watching and taking the time to weigh in- That’s an interesting suggestion for folks in colder climates especially- Curious 👀 if they’ve thought about it?
Ya know, you’re preaching to our choir. As Goldwing owners, who have had numerous technical issues with our 2021 Goldwing , going into the shop WAY too many times for a new bike, we couldn’t agree more. Reliability is the most valuable thing. So grateful you not only took the time to watch, but to also reach with a comment. We love hearing from the community. Thanks 🙏
Now you’re talking our language- But we shouldn’t our breath, huh??? …but, More power to you! (And the Goldwing!) If only. Thank you for this holiday wishlist! And thanks for being cool and leaving a comment after watching 😀
THIS. The DCT box steals quite a few HP. I've got two GL1500's and an old BMW K1200RS. I intended to buy a latest gen wing this coming year, but am now seriously tempted by the BMW K1600 instead; particularly with the recent wing reliability problems. 150HP would steer me back toward the wing.

All for everything you brought up in this post. $3k would be max added to the price Harley has less technically and costs around $40k.

Why don’t we just get robots to ride us around.
The Tesla of motorcycles 🏍️?
Is SkyNet here?
THAT didn’t end well!
@@MiddleAgeRoadRage😂
I hope this does not come up to pump up the price of the bike. Rather 160hp from the engine. That would be easy peasy from the current motor.
More horsepower is number one in our list too.

Maybe a wiper ? I've been caught in a heavy rain storm, and water just doesn't leave the windshield.

We don’t need all that.. all we wanted was a new design
In Fer sure ! Let’s see what 2024 ( and Santa ) brings !
