AT LONG LAST!! The Goldwing First Ride is HERE and holy hell was this thing surprising! How many of you guys would rock this thing in your garage? (Just maybe not in this brown color).

Chase Just think of the 2020 mode,l I am pretty sure it is lighter and has more power. I have been flip flopping between one of these and a bmw gs adventure as my next bike both are large highway/ touring bikes though I have yet to ride the goldwing this is a great review!!! Keep up the great videos

See, now that’s what I think a “luxury “ motorcycle should be. Why pay for more chrome and, uh, more chrome when you can have faultless reliability and the latest tech? Really cool review, man 👍🏻

The Goldwing is as close to perfect as it gets when it comes to a touring bike.

Personally I think the brown color looks SICK! I freaking love that color. Now I don't like the brown seat I'd go with a black seat, but this bike is money. I've always loved Goldwings.

Honestly that brown/goldish color scheme is the best looking gold wing ive seen in my life. Most of them are white or red.

I used to ride Harleys. Then one day my girl dared me to test ride a 2018 Goldwing. Soon afterwards I traded my Road Glide in for the Wing, and it was the best decision I've made in years. The Wing can tour, it can carve the twisties, I daily it to work, I take it grocery shopping. I've barely put any miles on my car at all since buying the Wing!

As a blade owner I once rented a goldwing to ride round Yosemite and I couldn’t believe how well it handled even 2 up fully loaded it was phenomenal I will own one some day

My thoughts on the windshield raising so high is to keep the wind off your passenger that is sitting higher and farther back than the driver? Just my best guess.

"I don't wanna go to Texas, Bro!" Yes you do. You know you want to visit Texas.

not gonna lie, this bike looks so damn good.

I love this channel for the same reason I love Rick Beato's "What Makes This Song Great" series. Just the joy of experiencing things and describing them. It's awesome.

The definition of what luxury touring should be about, right there! Can't wait to get my grubby little paws on one to try it out!

I'm in my 20's and i'd rather take this over an r1 anyday. looks sooooo comfy!!

"I'm In My 20s AnD I'd RaThEr TaKe ThIs OvEr An R1." As soon as you started that sentence saying you're in your 20s, I knew exactly what you were going to say. What are you guys doing with this bike in your 20s anyways?! You can't have fun unless youre touring with them and you cant do that in your 20s because you have to be busy with school, jobs and building your life. They aren't good commuting bikes either. I'm planning on buying one but when I retire. You guys are missing out of life if you guys are skipping out on sports bikes.

Also in my 20's and I ride a GL1500. And to the guy hating on it, I've been able to go on a big trip almost every year, and I can carry almost as much gear as in my friggen Civic. If touring on a motorcycle is something you want to do, you'll be able to figure something out. It does suck for commuting though.

WBR: Goldwing Edition!!

I rode the Automatic Goldwing and it was absolutely amazing

Over the years, I've ridden mostly sport bikes and still do but I remember my first GW, it was a 1982 GL 1100 that I had as a second bike for long trips. In 2004, I purchased a 2004 GW 1800 as a second bike for touring. I did it again in July 2019 when I bought a 2019 GW (F6B) as a second bike for touring. The latest generation is the best as far as handling. Love it!

I have NEVER been the one to like a Goldwing but this particular one has grown on me.. And even so much I could possibly see me getting one over a Harley oddly enough.. So good job on you Honda

It really is a luxury bike..I laughed at this bike when I was younger, but after my years of riding, in my later years I will likely pick up an electric Goldwing.

Now the gold wing is a real EV bike contender!

Finally not a patreon ad

The Rolls Royce of Motor bikes.

Those slats on the tail section are where you mount a tour pack.

Chase your joy and enthusiasm makes your videos a pleasure to watch and helps me imagine what these bikes are like to ride. Thanks for sharing it with us.

Not gonna lie Chase, this completely changed my thoughts on the Goldwing! Still not ready to let go of more fun bikes, but looking forward to cruising in retirement.

I have never been a Goldwing Fan. This goes back to the time when it was a "Naked Bike" when one would purchase and install all the neat stuff themselves. I always viewed it as a "Barge on Wheels". Now? In 2018 my view of this bike has totally changed! It's now almost a Sport Tourer. This bike is in my future. If I was just a little closer to the fence this video would have been the one that did it. I have watched many videos on this bike and for me, this is the one that covered all the things I really care about. Good Job Chase! Thanks!

Glad to see you finally doing some more touring oriented bikes!

I've been subscribed to this channel and other moto vloggers for 2 years and you guys always have so much fun. Now finally it's my turn. Taking my mtsc next week!!

That’s an aftermarket Klock Werks windscreen.

Wow that's a cool color. Wish that color was available on the sport Honda motorcycles models.

Love that color with that saddle color looks great. Those slots in the back is to add a top touring trunk / passenger back rest.

Man.. I never let any comment on any video on youtube, but the way you make this review and the way you laughed.. Just wow. I watched so many review but this it's just amazing.. Good review and love your way to make it. Ride safe broo. 👍👍👍 (sorry for my English )

I had a 2014 Valkyrie that Chase has ridden. These flat six motors are so smooth and with the shaft drive they are electric smooth. They even sound good when you're hard on the gas and they don't hesitate. Great motorcycles.

Honda is great at making a heavy motorcycle feel balanced and manageable. I had an ST1300 for a few years and it was amazing how easy it was to ride for a 700+ lb bike. You thought where you wanted it to go , and it was there. It still stands as the best overall motorcycle I’ve owned so far. I sold it to buy my dream Harley (Wide Glide with an Evo engine) which is awesome, but I still miss that ST.

I do think Honda has some sort of linked braking system that links the rear and front brakes together

They had that on the VFR first, I believe. Pretty sure it's better and more advanced now.

Dude!!!! Best review on this bike ever!!!!

the audio system from a goldwing will link up to the helmet. so gps and sat nav "stream" to the helmet

I hope everyone has a good day 💙

Yo, been waiting for this

Yessss i wanted you to review this bike for the longest!

Love your videos man!

I absolutely love GWs. Fantastic vid review chase.

You keep mentioning how far you can lay this bike over. You have to come out to Colorado and ride my DCT Tour in the canyons. This is a sport bike in tourer clothing. I scraped my foot pegs the other day and felt totally in control. I shift it into Sport/ Manual and use the paddle shifters and it like Track Day. I grew up with Goldwings and this is my 9th. In addition I have a 97 Valkyrie. Last spring I pulled the trigger and sold my ST1300 and My 05 Goldwing and bought this 2018 DCT. I realized I replaced the ST and the Wing with one bike that does both types of riding. You can carve up the canyons and then drive to Chicago. I have 1/2 " of chicken strip left and I know I can go further. I am 66 years old and having a blast. Best Bike Honda has ever built.

I ride an MT-10 but this bike is so cool. When I have grand kids this will be the bike I ride.

Great review. I'm pretty sure those "things on the back" pop out and allow you to install a third pannier with a passenger back rest.

Good review! This newer goldwings are sweet!

That’s a pretty high-tech touring bike! I like how the windscreen is motorized and can change positions based on speed. The headlights on it are dope and remind me of an Accord or an Acura Sedan.

That cushion for the lumbar is AMAZING. Talk about comfort.

Historically, and I'm old enough to remember seeing the first iteration of the Goldwing on the roads, I have never liked the look or the idea of this bike. However this 2018 onwards model looks really good, and I would love to ride one on a reallly long trip, say from my home in the north of England to Siberia or something. Honda have done a superb job of reinventing and modernising this classic 👍

Can’t wait to get one you got me so excited 😝

I'm surprised that you didn't comment on the lack of brake dive. The non-fork front end is supposed to eliminate brake dive. I guess there is a lot to take in.

I'm a big fan of the color.

Ha. that's funny. The only footage I have left to make a new video, from a Honda Demo a few months back, is a 2019 Goldwing. I have been working a new job for two months now, and not been making any content....not even riding. I had thought this very morning about putting the Goldwing video together.....that's the funny part. since you just dropped yours today. Surprisingly fun ride though.

Never in my life would have rode the old generation Goldwing, but I bought my 2018 Goldwing last year when I was 40 because it looked so good and it’s the best investment I ever made and a ton of fun to ride! That was an aftermarket shield on that bike from Clockwerks which is the ugliest of them in my opinion, the 16” shield is what I use and shorter because I have the same preference you do.

Im riding a 2016 F6b. The suspension was done by traxxion dynamics. Ive test rode the new bmws, and the new wing. My bike is so comfortable and stable. It’s been to Colorado and Florida several times. A blast all the way. Its a flat 6 so all the weight is down low. Im keeping it.

Bro lol, I'm about to do a 1000 mile trip on my CBR600RR this summer and this video already has me feeling the back pain lol. I know dang well I'm going to be thinking of this video and having thoughts of wanting a Goldwing when I'm on my trip.

This is my new dream bike. I love the looks of it without all the touring stuff on it. My other dream bike is the old Valkyrie

you should review the Suzuki Burgman 650 it will blow your mind thumb up so he can review something super different than he is used to

I've been drooling over K1600s and Goldwings a lot lately. I may very well look in to upgrading to an older mid 2000's wing at some point. They present a lot of value for the life they still have left. That is, if I don't find a decently priced used K1600GT first. I tend to prefer the 1600 as it's the sportier of these 2 big luxury touring machines. Would still definitely be happy with a wing for sure though, especially if I can find one in yellow. Love me them yellow Goldwings.

Had to pause on the bike graph in the beginning. Comfort and price was literally off the chart haha. Nice review.

Great video man. The 2020 Goldwing has a better DCT response and a better suspension with more travel in them. That visor/windscreen is indeen an aftermarket since the OEM is little bit narrower and flatter

I agree. If you are willing to work your slow-speed manuvering in parking lots until you have control of the weight at slow speeds, then you can go straight into the Goldwing. I got the CTX 1300 because the Goldwing felt too big (although the CTX 1300 is just as big). Wasn't long until I felt totally under control wish I had gone straight to the Wing.

Planning to take a test ride on this model tomorrow. The best description of the color would be rootbeer. 4/22/23 Took this bike out for a test ride and was blown away by the sport mode. 🤯

I haven’t been on a goldwing in about 15 years. While I was between bikes I would ride my dads in my mid to late 20’s. Mind you it was a 86ish goldwing and had 45,000 plus miles when we got it. We only had two issues with it. First the shift fork went bad and had to be replaced, and what finally killed it was the generator went bad. The reason that killed it was because it was so old parts where hard to find or way to expensive (the one we found cost over 3,500 installed). I will say even at 25 that bike was fun as hell to ride.

There's a vent that opens and closes on top of the dash. I can tell you really enjoyed this Great bike!

Like watching your grandpa trying to use an iPhone for the first time

I'm not into touring bikes at all but that right there is a nice piece of engineering.

Great video! I need to go take a ride on one of those. I like the brown color. I have been riding Indians, mostly, on my channel. I'm just getting started though.

A piece of art

Gorgeous Color!!!!

What a laugh. Glad it had that impact on you.

Thanks for the video, Chase. Constructive comment...really need to do a little research on the GW’s functions or get a tutorial from the dealer before jumping on this bike. Learning on the fly, especially for a video, not advised with all this bike has to offer. Sport mode will set you back into that backrest, my friend, as you found out.

DCT will ship smoother, faster, more efficiently than we can shift manually. It is a great tool on the goldwing. That is one awesome machine.

SO MANY BUTTONS! They need their own first ride.

Love your videos. I'm going to buy my goldwing bagger from mountain motorsports

If I had a lot of money I would definitely have one of these alongside like a supersport, a sumo, a naked, and a bobber

Should be nice having this on the highway in a tropical island. Going for a fun ride on the coast. Sun sand sea and your Goldwing 😎😎😎🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺

Nice review...you sound like a kid in a toy store, much like I did on my test ride, which resulted in a purchase of course! By the way, you can use the paddle shifters anytime, even in automatic mode. So if you need to pass quickly, drop it down a gear or two and you'll be in rocket mode, especially when using Sport.

Chase on Goldwing!!! 👀 😯I had to do a second take to make sure I saw right. Have I been sleeping for 40 years ?!! 🤪🤣🤣But it’s cool. All bikes are welcomed. The test drive was cool. Clearly Chase isn’t used to such luxuries though.🤣🤣

Thanks Chase! Do a review on the Yamaha FJR1300 sometime.

I ride a Road King because I don't want all the luxury stuff. I have ridden a Gold Wing and completely get it. Just not my taste. Fun to watch a non bagger rider enjoy one. Almost 40° lean angle by the way

Hey Chase, you might have to reconfigure the horsepower, torque, agility, comfort, price circle again ....

The shaded windscreen is an aftermarket part. Stock is clear and a bit lower. I've owned a sport bike (cbr600rr) and a cruiser (shadow 1100). I'm looking at getting a GL1800 and after seeing this, I'm really wanting one more and more.

Is it brown or copper? I like the color. Do a comparison with a BMW K1600!

Lmao. Awesome video. Thanks, now I want one. You’d probably sell me on a bicycle too. 🤣

BTW, the shield is aftermarket. There are much better options and many with the 5 position vent built in the shield. There are also wings that people use to divert air to their body.

@42:55 Question about riding position, the legs are bent back like on a sports bike and the right toe can get pretty close to the engine block coming out, esp for a tall rider. Does this position feel good for long/mid length rides? Looks like legs might start to cramp... Any comments?

There’s a channel called schaff on here and he was rubbing pegs in the mountains with this! Def a sport couch

Chase understands it is important to make his content applicable to a broad audience, including the geriatric segment

Please tell me you're going to First Ride the CBR600RR when it's done! It's a shame you lost the footage from the last one you did.

Great review. I doubt Honda put the controls where they did without lots of thought. The cruise control buttons need to be far enough away from your thumb so that you can’t set it by accident and therefore you have to set it by consciously moving your hand. When it’s safe to do so.

How is your mic not picking up any wind or engine noise?

in this episode its ChaseOnOneCouch

I rode my friends 15’ ctx 500 , felt super weird being DCT. Felt a bit cheap tho for a newish model . Still a nice bike

Nice video. How long are your legs? Curious if my 31” inseam would be able to flat foot it. I want one!

Gold standard of Touring bike segment + made by Honda = Goldwing

that after market seat and windshield both really detract from the gorgeous looks of the stock bike in that color (in my humble opinion).

this was very entertaining. I want one. I pretty sure the brakes are linked.

Looking at the tinted shield, I am very glad that I never ordered an after market tinted shield.

D stands for drive my man. Just like in your car :)
