Yes I want heated grips, a nice soft suspension, full body wind protection, shaft drive, cruise control, chair ergos, a large comfortable 2up seat, ABS, and DCT. A Wing is the only option and if I find one for the right price I’ll jump on it.

The Goldwing is my ultimate bucket list bike, I don't think I could ever afford it, but if I could, I would buy one in a heart beat.

Darkside: Car tire on the back of your Goldwing. It tears the community apart and is most certainly worth a video.

[EdwinDearborn]

My 2015 F6B has completely changed how I ride. Longer distances, and so much comfort and smooth performance. And I have more HP and torque than 98% of the Harley's out there.

[JoeJumps]

1986 goldwing aspy here, absolutely love the bike. And no im not even 40 yet. Ive owned lots of bikes and different types. Hands down the goldwing is ny absolute favorite.

I recently met a gnarly old hippy on a mid 80's Goldwing. It had over 600k miles on the clock, still on the original engine and never had any real problems. Most of the miles were done in Europe and Africa so they weren't easy miles

[munkeenevahrong]

I just rode my 500 lb Honda CTX on a 11 day trip. It also has a 6 speed DCT and ABS. I wish there was some Honda in-between mine and the mighty Gold Wing. Remember the Silver Wing?

[carlosvejar]

I am the same age as the GoldWing. It's aged much better than I have. It's a great ride

[larryjex]

I still have my '86 Oldwing Aspencade and it's still a great touring bike. The '78 I had before it had the lockable luggage system that I really miss.

[RealHooksy]

The latest gold wing is a magnificent machine.
If I had too much money I would definitely own one.

[ramishrambarran]

For a 14:02 min. Gold Wing video, you spent a lot of time (1:22min.) extolling the virtues of the K1600 GT !
I am 68, had a 2004 R1150RT for 68, 000 easy-riding KMS.
At this age I won't be buying a motorcycle again. I have a 2 year old Made-in-India Yamaha FZ25 doing 12, 000kms, which does all I need to do.
One BMW in my lifetime is enough. Enough niggling things going wrong. Worst bike I ever spent money on. And yes, I do have regrets.
Yes, I am a Japanese fanboy !
There is NOTHING, like the Japanese machine !

[Axrhave]

Great vid man. Still riding my ‘83 GL1100 Goldwing. 105k kilometres on the clock and runs like the day I bought it.

[hamishlast]

Love my 2013 airbag GW. Moved from a zx14r and really appreciate the touring benefits of the GW. Not as fast or as powerful but then again, I never used that power much anyway. Zx14 was fun at the start but that massive power became less practical over time.

[jjk]

The Valkyrie or F6b look like cool options but they don't have reverse. I can't imagine trying to move those beasts with muscle power alone.

[GenPat]

I have a 1977 GL1000 on the road still, love my wing.

[Wileylikethehawk]

I occasionally fall a little bit in love with early Goldwings - the naked bike style ones.

[Pantechnicon]

I've had a 1978 GL1000 since 1990. Rode it across the country twice and still take it out 2-3 times a week to work.

[johnsaporta]

Love my 1985 GL1200 Aspencade. Fresh rear suspension, air preload still works, stainless braided hydraulics. All systems in great shape. And, the big bike can dance the twisties.

[johnt]

I have a 2018 GoldWing, my wife and I took it on a 3500 mile trip Tx to Key West. Awesome bike wanted one since I was in my 20s.

[Bululdaya]

Hogley Davidson, cross-eyed simpleton harley nut... love it! I'm on my second wing now, already thinking of getting a newer model. Definitely the gold standard for long distance touring. I had the ST1300 for a few years, fun to ride but the saddle soreness killed the fun. Now, I can easily do 800km a day on the wing.
