Biggest difference is the Golgwings engine will outlast the harley engine by 500%. Read about a guy who put 600k miles on a Goldwing without opening the engine case once. Many Harleys need a rebuild before 100k miles.

Sold my 2020 Road Glide Limited and bought this exact bike. No comparison. Rides way better, a lot more power, power windshield, 4 throttle modes, electronic preload, all LED lights stock, fog lights stock, forward and reverse walking modes, better stereo, auto/manual, auto locking bags, double wishbone front suspension. Added Helibars which moved bars up and more control. Highway pegs made a huge difference. Harley has a lot to learn from the touring / power perspective. Harley sounds better and touchscreen are Harleys only two advantages, but I'm used to the quieter ride now. I do like Harley, they just don't compare.

Yep the Helibars are about $700 and are pretty simple to install. Super adjustable. The seating position is different but I'm used to it now and love it. With the DCT my feet live on the highway pegs and rarely come down lol. In traffic it's great too, no 2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-N problems lol. It's sooo much lighter and crazy agile.

When I’m old like you I’ll probably want an automatic bike with reverse too lol. I like the Gold Wings too but as far as looks the 2020 Road Glide is a way nicer looking bike.

I have an identical Goldwing as this one. (Purchased April of 2021) My 3rd Goldwing. I’ve never owned any other brand, so can’t make a comparison. I’m real happy with my ‘21. It did take a little getting used to not manually shifting (even after an 11 year bikeless period) But now that I’ve adapted, I don’t miss the clutch at all. Slow speed maneuvers are a bit more challenging, with no clutch to feather. And the latest iteration of the Goldwing is a bit more toward a sport bike realm. I say, ride whatever makes you happy and let others do the same.

Awesome! Welcome to the channel, I appreciate you joining! 2012 Goldwing, nice! I bet you’ve got some miles on it. Amazing bikes for sure. I too love all bikes 🤙 Thanks again!

Enjoyed hearing your first impressions. I bought a 2021 DCT Tour in March and have ridden about 7500 miles. This is my third GoldWing. I’ve had an ‘86 Aspencade, a 2013 F6B and now this one. This is easily the most powerful and best riding of the three. The DCT works fine, but if I had it to do over again, I would probably buy the standard version. I miss the clutch during slow speed maneuvers, although with practice, l’m sure this bike is perfectly capable doing tight turns. I’ve only ridden one Harley in my life and only briefly. Harley does make beautiful motorcycles and I totally understand the appeal. The GoldWing does everything I want from a motorcycle and at my age, (68), it may very well be my last bike. I plan to accessorize it and buy a trailer, so that my significant other and I can travel in comfort next summer. One thing that Honda got wrong on this bike in my humble opinion, is the seat. It’s not very comfortable for the long haul. After an hour or so, I find myself squirming. For a bike built for long distance touring in that price range, the seat should have been a major priority to ensure a comfortable experience. Anyway… I’m rambling. Thanks for your take on this pretty amazing motorcycle.

Fair assessment. Im a winger and love my wing. The things u observe are typical in a wing and u easily get used to the diff seating position. Bike is built from ground up for performance, comfort, reliability, safety, long range touring. That's why it sits that way. Im not a big fan of any stock seats...I toss em and get corbin custom seat to set me back and down and for longer seat comfort. I also add helibars for custom bar positioning to alleviate arm fatigue. I sold my SG as it was no measure to the wing for touring and performance. It was pretty tho.

I rode Harley's for 31 years and I sold my Road Glide in 2020 and bought a new Goldwing DCT. I will never go back to a Harley Davidson again after riding my Goldwing for the last two and half years. It is an amazing machine and I cannot get enough it, it's quick, comfortable, handles like a sport bike and has all the luxuries of a touring bike. I can take off for a week or two on my bike and I do not get tired or sore after long rides like I did on my Harley's. Sense everybody and their brother owns a Street Glide or a Road Glide it makes my Goldwing a unique bike when I pull up to a sea of Road Glides and Street Glides. I am not knocking Harley's they are great bikes but there is no comparison to the Honda Goldwing.

Great video. I currently have a 2008 Harley electra glide which I love but have been eyeing these for a while. I've never ridden a goldwing mainly because the older ones from my younger days had a severe case of the ugly. Square rear end and bulky front made them look like a school bus. If I got one I prefer the looks of them without the rear tour pack. I ride my electra glide almost daily and use my tour pack all the time though so I might sacrifice looks for convenience. I might just keep the electra glide and remove the tour pack for weekend bbq runs and use the wing for long distance tours.

Since I bought my pop up camper I’ve been thinking about getting a Goldwing next time. My Triumph Trophy can do the (towing) job but a couple of extra HP would definitely help a lot. I am thinking about getting a 2019 or 2020 with the automatic transmission in 2023 /24 to avoid paying the full price tag. (I love depreciated assets lol) Great job ! Cheers.

Consider the 2021 with the bigger trunk. In my opinion, it fits the bike better and you’ll really appreciate the added storage space.

@@seatime674; The ‘20 came with the fog lights as standard equipment, which is a nice addition. The ‘21 has that, as well as the pre-installed satellite radio antenna, which is a real pain to install if you had to do it yourself, apparently. And of course, the larger trunk. Honda apparently tweaked the DCT in ‘19 or ‘20 to make for smoother shifts and the ‘21, of course has that refinement as well. We did buy a utility trailer for ours, so had to install a hitch. It’s a pretty big job, but doable with a few tools and patience. If I can do it… well, you know the rest. We did a 5 week tour in ‘23, towing the trailer and the ‘21 DCT did great! It towed that 400 pound(loaded) trailer with ease. And even with the trailer it easily handled all the mountain passes. I think you’ll love it. So to sum up… if you’re towing a trailer anyway, you may not miss the larger trunk on the ‘21. And if you’re not interested in satellite radio, you wouldn’t need the antenna. The fog lights do make you more visible to other traffic, but those also come on the ‘20 model. So really, the only substantial improvement that the ‘21 has over the previous 2 model years is the trunk. The engine and transmission are the same. Hope this helps.

Yeah if I'm going to pull the trigger on an '18 I should at least wait for the '21+ so I get everything, that's like buying a new Corvette with roll up Windows.. I think the '21 started the more relaxed angle seat for the passenger to and is more comfortable.. I do hear even the driver seat on the 18+ plus is really stiff and uncomfortable and people change them out which is not good... I really like the Ardant Red or Blue with the silver motor and and chrome pipes on the '18 though, the '21 and up has ugly black matte colors with a black motor and pipes and just doesn't look that good to me. Think Darth Vader... There's an '08 with 38k miles I might just go get in the meantime while I'm figuring all this new stuff out, ha... That's great with your trailer be safe in your travels👍

I grew up on goldwings, then spent five years and five harleys looking for one to keep (road kings and street glides), but I couldn't get them to fit me (5'6) where it felt as comfortable as the wings.

My 09 Road King with a Screaming Eagle 110 isn't even close to the power of the new Wing. These bikes are two different worlds. Why not live in both? Just bought one and she is sitting in my garage next to my classic. Great review. Thanks.

Well My opinion coming from the Harley world, Harley Davidson has to upgrade the suspension considering that they ask a 50 piece. Also I want to ask you do you think that your bike is worth 20k more than the goldwing? I’ve had every Harley made except for the livewire and none of them compare to the Bmw I have now. Not downing Harley I still have one but I don’t think I’ll be buying another one anytime soon. The wing has always been on the radar and I probably will eventually get one.(DCT) Nice review your’s is the first I’ve seen that someone has really twisted the throttle.

I've had my Goldwing DCT for about 3 weeks now and I'm getting 46 miles to a gallon in tour mode. I can't complain about that.

The seating position IS forward and that was by engineering design. Forward and lower Center of Gravity = better handling overall...for almost all bikes. (Your mileage may vary?!) Ride a few more miles and you might discover that the front suspension has been separated from the steering!!!!! That was HUGE! My new 2021 GW DCT tour took about five minutes to make me a believer! Good Rides

I traded a 2017 FLTRU with 49,000 miles on it for a 2021 Goldwing Tour DCT 4.5 months ago, and I already have 12,000 miles on this one. I can't stop riding it! I was most nervous about the seating position, and I'm 6'2"... But with highway pegs for options to stretch out once in a while and move around, I find the stock seating position to be more comfortable than I expected. Absolutely love this bike.

As a long time built American V-twin(Victory XC and HD) rider that recently moved to a gen6 Goldwing Tour(man. 6speed). I can say the Goldwing is a far better touring bike, especially 2up(my wife loves riding as the passenger on the Wing). As a V-Twin rider its takes time to get used to riding a Goldwing, its a completely different experience, but it all comes together once you load up and hit the road for trip, its okay for around town but that's not its purpose. Things like the exhaust, after years of touring listening to the howling exhaust of my Victory, the Wing's exhaust is a "God sent" on a tour, I'm never going to change it. The upright seating is the way we should be sitting on a motorcycle, especially over distance... but its something to get used and not realized until you get some miles on(I noticed John move in this direction with Mad Max, when he was all about having mid controls for touring). There's is so much more I could get into that makes a Goldwing the premier touring bike, but I 've babbled on enough. There is something I really miss about my V-Twins, its something no plastic-fantastic Honda will ever have and that's the coolness factor and rawness...When I rolled up on the Vic it had presence, the Wing is just another bike in the crowd, but that's okay with me right now.

Excellent perspective, thanks for sharing

I think you have to have a lot of work done on your HD or get the cvo to come near or out do the flat 6. I agree with the seating position, I would consider the new GL more of a sports tourer then a cruiser touring motorcycle. From the proportions I like the previous GL better.

I am a newbie to your vlog channel, but have watched many vlogs and reviews of the new gl 1800Goldwing DCT. I am wanting to get myself one of these bikes as I used to ride motorcycles, until I suffered a huge stroke in December 2018, which has left me fully paralysed in my left arm. So, when I found out that Honda had brought out what is in essence an automatic gearbox for a motorbike, I once again feel that there is hope for me being able to return to life on two wheels. However, the stroke (and bleed on my brain) has also left me unable to walk and I now also have major balancing issues, so I feel that if I were able to get a GL 1800 DCT TOUR and get it converted to a trike, this would then be my ultimate dream bike!!! But, I would also need to get a custom-made trailer to be able to transport my electric wheelchair with me too, as the local supermarket, for example, frown upon people wanting to ride a motorbike around inside the store!!!

I am unable to walk now due to the brain injury I suffered, so really NEED the trike so that I don't fall over when I stop!!!
