@sorashirogami1729 the BMW is 30 more hp then the Goldwing. I have the BMW, 2021, friend has the Honda, 2018, which I've ridden many times. Although love the Goldwing I'll take my GTL everyday of the week.
I had the Vulcan vaquero, the bagger version of the voyager. Great bike and got it as a leftover bike for 14k 5 years ago. You can’t beat it at that price. Another plus is it was way more comfy than my Harley once I put a mustang seat on it. I put 35000 miles on it in 2 years. ❤❤
I'm 48, no grandchildren and have an HD Streetglide special. I know it's fun to hate Harleys but I really like it and can't wait until it warms up a bit here in Utah. I considered a Goldwing but I didn't think I was THAT old, I'm sure they are nice though.
I was in the same boat a year ago. 40 years old and wanted a nice touring bike. I LOVE the idea of the Goldwing, but just can’t bring myself to buy one yet. I’m 10 years away from it, in my estimation. Ended up with a barely used 2021 Road Glide Special with a 122. Love the bike.
2:40 Just for the record touring bikes are not only for old men. I would get a touring bike since they are so comfortable, and I do long distance rides every once in a while. A sports bike will kill my back after like 20 mins and even a cruiser will start to hurt going 80mph+ for more than an hour. A touring bike just blocks more wind and is super nice to ride.
I own a dual clutch machine in a semi urban area with tons of stop and go traffic. I love the simplicity of not needing to tend a 6 speed gearbox. Hang on and enjoy.
A bike I noticed that didn't make the list in the BMW section was the R18. I'm not a BMW simp by any means, but if you're talking about touring bikes, it may deserve a mention
@@wmopp9100 they are letting that R18 bagger go for about $16k right now, which is a reasonable price, but it's still a sucky bike. Like 1/4 of the bags are filled up with speakers which is dumb when if you are tech savvy enough to be riding a BMW you probably have a Bluetooth helmet.
In my opinion, if you have the money, get the gold wing if you don’t, get the Vulcan voyager. It’s just stupid how comfortable the voyager is even more comfortable than the 2024 Goldwing. And for the price, no other motorcycle can be the Vulcan voyager for the value for money
Good video. One issue. The 22 K1600 GTL STARTS at $27,500. Not sure where you got $16,000, but if that was the case, GoldWing wouldn’t sell any bikes. I had 2019 GTL that was on sale for $22K. . .Good news is a used 2019 with very low mileage are only $14-$16K, so that is an option that makes a lot of sense. I traded mine for a T120 Bonnie and never looked back.
After a different seat and bar risers, I can do lots of miles on my Ninja 1000. I slid on oil and dropped my 1981 CB900c at a gas station many years ago and could barely pickup those 688lbs. Can't imagine screwing up and trying to pick up 800lb+
I appreciate the videos and the information. I don’t have a motorcycle but plan on getting one. I really wish you would label the bikes when you’re highlighting them for the first time just so when I take a snapshot, it would be easy to reference when looking into the bike Other than that thanks for the knowledge.
you forgot to go up one step from the Challenger into the Pursuit, but other than fully bagged out seems to be essentially the same bike haha! thanks for the comparisons!
You showed a PC800 (Pacific Coast) picture in the GW segment..I had one of those. #3 Is my BMW Dad bike...nice. Besides the GW the only sane choices are the Honda or BMW.
My formative riding years were the 60’s and 70’s which coincided with the AMF days for Harley, those were the days when Harley riders had to have a truck and trailer bring up the rear to pick up the dead soldiers so I automatically cross Harley off my list!
I had a 1999 Royal Star Venture and I loved it. I had purchased it in 2003 with 3000 miles on it. After 88,000 miles I replaced it in 2009 with a 2003 Electra Glide Ultra Classic that had 8,000 miles. I prefer the H-D but the RSV is a solid machine with very nice power and handling characteristics. What hurts the RSV for touring is the electrical output. It's only 36 Amp which is not enough for two-up heated gear and extra lighting. I had a Corbin saddle on mine which I was really comfortable with. Everyone who saw the RSV loved the retro ribbon speedometer.
Thank you for ending my confusion over my preference for a quality paint finish on my motorcycle. After years of putting up with the poor paint quality of my Royal Star Venture, not to mention the cracking ABS plastic of the trunk mounting points and the front fairing windshield mounting points, it's conforting to know that it's all because in the future I would be riding a Harley-Davidson. After 135,000 miles on my Electra Glide Ultra Classic, I never had any of the paint wear off from tire spray, nor any of the body work crack like it did with the Venture. So keep making fun of Harley-Davidson owners who enjoy the superior fit and finish of their machines. It's good entertainment.
I'm here to tell yall that I've done plenty of trips on a sportster with guys on the big touring bikes. You can do the same thing with a sissy bar and a backpack if you don't want to break the bank.
Some how tue Ducati Multistrada didnt make the list 😮 The bike for couples who ⛺️ and hike, 🍷 and dine, and simply have refined tastes while doing it.. together.
I need to give the nod to the 2018 and newer Yamaha Star Venture. It was an absolutely brilliant big v twin cruiser that was discontinued when Yamaha realized they weren't sewing enough to make money.
Yamaha missed the bus with the New Venture TC. i have one and it is a helluva machine. Too bad they're advertising department was full of brainless twits!
I ride my 30 Year old Electraglide. Don’t need infotainment screen just pop a Bluetooth FM Transmitter into its cigarette lighter and boom I have instant music. But thing about it is. I don’t owe for it.
i thought that kawasaki (GTR)concourse 1400 is better than Voyager or it no more selling in the states? in my place that bike one of the favorite touring bike goldwing are too slow for them 😆
Dang my c90t boulevard didn't make the cut 😕 lol but I really want to get a vulcan vaquero 1700 all though that challenger is pretty sweet price tag sucks though
I'm thinking a used Yamaha FJ. I bet you could find a low mile bike someone thought they needed cheap for this category. And Yamaha Build quality. That would be my angle entering this category. I do realize your talking a 2023. I don't have that budget even if I did those numbers are hard to rap my head around.
Great video as usual! Question: Has anyone toured on a Triumph Rocket 3 GT or BMW R18 Transcontinental? Looking to finally escape the Harley world (2019 Road King Special) and try something new. Cheers!
Only one question..... Where the heck did you discover the picture at the price reaction [the "Wow"] on the price off the Indian Roadmaster..?? I believe [and pretty sure] it's Eddy Wally, a "famous" singer in Belgium.. Known for his nerdy[little nonworldwise/retard] phrases...

The HD Ultra Limited is not a Road Glide nor a Street Glide. It is an Electra Glide. I'm sure some one has already pointed this out to you, I'm just reminding you that Harley is still a thing because of the Harley owners, not the MoCo. Signed, not impressed with your biased opinion.
Just out of curiosity does anyone make a touring bike that isn't so heavy and huge but still as comfortable? The Honda silverwing scooter probably would have fit the bill but they don't make them anymore.

Well as always Yammie Noob missed the best touring bike. Oh wait the bike I am thinking of isn't a touring bike it is a "Performance Tourer" aka the Indian Pursuit. I will ask the same thing I did in 2021, Yammie Noob ride your Turbo Hayabusa on the Smackdab Run June 24 2023. You have been called out again.
What’s with the hate he has for Kawasaki? This isn’t even a joke video? He makes that comment after claiming he has no hate for Kawasaki. Yes, I’m convinced noobie. If he was going to buy a bike on this list, would he put the Kawasaki in last place? I wouldn’t put Kawasaki above the Gold Wing if price wasn’t a factor, but would trust its proven reliability and service life longevity above any other of these bikes here.

Thanks for showing us 40 yr old Touring Bike riding enthusiasts some love 🎉
Just did a 7 hour ride on my CBR600RR.. now I have to ride it back.. immediately looked up the best touring bikes cause I’m not doing this shit again😭
2:40 Just for the record touring bikes are not only for old men. I would get a touring bike since they are so comfortable, and I do long distance rides every once in a while. A sports bike will kill my back after like 20 mins and even a cruiser will start to hurt going 80mph+ for more than an hour. A touring bike just blocks more wind and is super nice to ride.
My next bike is going to be a Yamaha FJR1300 Sports Tourer. I have been looking at many bikes in the video, but the FJR fits my needs best.
Drove each and every one of my Dad's HD's in the 80's and 90's but own #1 on the list GL1800 DCT fer the win' - nothin else comes close
I own a dual clutch machine in a semi urban area with tons of stop and go traffic. I love the simplicity of not needing to tend a 6 speed gearbox. Hang on and enjoy.
My dad has ridden from Connecticut to California and back on a goldwing. I can't say enough good things about this bike😊
have to agree with you goldwing being number one on this list .....was a Harley owner .recently purchased 2010 wing loving it
A bike I noticed that didn't make the list in the BMW section was the R18. I'm not a BMW simp by any means, but if you're talking about touring bikes, it may deserve a mention
A K1600 GTL would a great deal at USD 16,895, but it's MSRP is 10k more.
BMW and "reasonable price" in the same sentence did sound a bit strange...
That's without an engine or wheels, lol.

What about the Yamaha star venture?
🤘Indian Challenger all day,
Goldwing is the goat for sure, that being said, if in the marked for this kind of bike, I would most likely buy the Vulcan.
I’d ride my Honda Shadow on any long tour. Very reliable.
My formative riding years were the 60’s and 70’s which coincided with the AMF days for Harley, those were the days when Harley riders had to have a truck and trailer bring up the rear to pick up the dead soldiers so I automatically cross Harley off my list!
too bad amf hasnt owned harley in almost 40 years.
Love my voyager, price and comfort
I'm buying the K1600GTL this year for European tours and can't wait.
You will love it.
It. Is. Awesome.
Excellent choice
You posted that a year ago. Did you get the K 1600 GTL? If so, how do you like it?

It would be fun to watch that video.
Yamminator!! One bmw touring (yes touring kinda) that you might actually like/enjoy is the S1000XR
My 1981CB 900c was a great tourer until it finally died. It has a 10 speed transmission so I could play truck driver with it.
How about showing some love for the R1250RT?
Lighter and nimbler than the K1600, but just as good for the distance!

Why yamaha star venture is not on the list ?
The Indian challenger: If Grand theft auto made a in game version of the Harley Road Glide
I'd happily do tons of miles on my africa twin, its comfortable and I can choose to stay on the road or take a dirt road as a short cut
youre on a bike, why are you taking shortcuts?
I probably will never get a touring bike. But if i were to get one, it surely would be honda goldwing

What is your opinion in the Harley Davidson V-Rod model?
$16,895 for K 1600??? Where do I sign up for that?
