Depends on your primary purpose for the bike. FJR is sporty and pretty quick. I'd say pretty good for daily commutes and 300 mile days. My 2002 goldwing does the same although heavier. Don't rule out the GW in the handling dept, I've surprised afew sport bikes and I'm 64. I can load about 12 bags of groceries in the hard cases. Plus the GW is Uber reliable.

Rode my 2012 Goldwing to the arctic circle, up to 19 hours in the saddle in total comfort, up to 120 mph GPS, factory heated grips were ok when not too cold, froze in Tok AK in June they were worthless, turned them off and put on my Warm Morning heated jacket an gloves. I asked the dealer to make sure the latest GPS software was loaded before I took the new wing north, had preloaded dealer network, couldn't find one dealer in Anchorage AK. Overall great bike. I totally loved the 2017 FJR1300 till they recalled it for bad 3 gear and gear shafts, had to pull and disasemble the new motor, another recall for front brake failure, sold fast, 6 months later got another recall can't remember what for, then another class action recall to rmap the ECU factory setting adding more power to 3rd gear, Yamaha dumbed it down knowing they were shipping new bikes with bad transmission.

I've owned 3 GL1800s, and 2 FJR's. I also have a friend that owned a GL1800 and a FJR. We have both sold the Goldwings. Loved the GL1800, super reliable and comfortable for cross country touring, comms and audio were superb. I do lots of day tTouring is comfortable enough with the FJR. I have upgraded the seat to a Laam and its very comfortable. If I were riding 2 up and touring alot, I'd keep the GW. Otherwise the FJR is the one for me. No issues with reliability with the FJR.

My 2013 FJR1300a I've put nearly 63,000 miles on and traveled through 21 states on it. I rode 952 miles in a day, and average over 400 miles a day on a long trip. Not bad for a 60 year old gear head. It's comfortable, fast, economical if you keep out of the throttle, and nimble for a big sport tourer. Add a top box and get a large roll top bag to strap to the pillion and you can do like me and stay gone for weeks at a time. I don't know, to me, the Wing ought to come with a chauffeur.

I have a 2015 Anniversary edition Goldwing. Excellent motorcycle. Before this bike I had two Honda ST1300s, an R90/6, a K75RT and some others. At 75 I find the Goldwing a lot to handle. I know I came to the GW because the seat height was so much better than the ST1300s I had been riding. I’ve known people with FJRs that had more than 200k miles so the bike’s ability to go the miles isn’t a question for either bike. I don’t hear well enough to use the radio on my GW.

My friends laughed when I told them I was considering it but I would have proceeded regardless. What stopped me? The idiotic decision Honda made offering the non-touring Goldwing only with the DCT automatic. Complete non-starter for me.

It entirely depends on the type of riding you do. The FJR is sportier by far but for long distance two-up touring a Gold Wing can't be beat. I have a 2019 FJR1300 and for everyday use as well as long distance riding I considered it to be better for me - I've done a 2500+ mile tour with my wife on the FJR. Mine has the Yamaha Comfort seat but it is hard and I would change it before doing another long distance tour - I see yours has a Corbin seat so likely a lot more comfortable. For music I have a Cardo Packtalk Edge connected to my iPhone . . .hundreds of albums in a small package. I went with the FJR as in my opinion it is less of a "singular purpose" motorcycle and its a lot lighter than a Gold Wing and takes up less space in the garage.

You know I love Hondas, but the FJR has many more ponies and the 2015's and newer have electronic cruise control which I realize does not matter to some folks. Good luck and thanks for watching and commenting!!! 🦾

The Honda Gold Wing is a motorcycle high standard machine. The year 2005 of the bike, wow it is almost 20 years old, does 25 years make it a classic? On the other hand, might be a good reason to let it go. 2005 is in another era now, LOL. I just purchased a 2023 Yamaha Super Tenere, I probably made a mistake and should have gone for a Harley. I am only rich enough to own one motorcycle at a time. I would keep the one with SHAFT drive. I am sick of chains; it is one of the big reasons I pick my bike. If they both have shaft drive, pick the one most different than your other bikes.

New sub here enjoy your content on the wing Look up yellow wolf on the tail of the dragon on his gw sport bikes would have a hard time keeping up with him I currently have a sport touring bike Vfr 750 f but have ridden a 82 aspencade back in the 80,s I could go either way on your question but at 57 my vfr is uncomfortable on long distances so I’m looking for a wing eventually

Thanks so much for the sub! Yellow wolf, yeah I've seen that, incredible. At my age (older than you😉) I won't be attempting that, couldn't afford the cost to machine and flesh in case of a mishap. Bet if you sold that VFR you'd miss it, I still miss my ZX14R I sold last fall. Don't ride a newer Wing unless you plan on owning one, LOL. Thanks for watching and commenting!!!👍

You dont have to justify keeping both. Its hard to justify having one if we're honest.i have a 23 GW Tour dct, 22 MT09, 21 Tracer 9 GT, 19 WR250R and an 18 XMAX 300. They all scratch an itch on any given day.

"Scratching an itch", yes I suppose it's all about that. Thanks Michael!

Well I'm in the same boat. I have a vstar 1100 classic and 04 wing. Love both. I'm keeping vstar love my cruiser but wanting to try something different for touring. Little lighter and easier at parking lot speeds. Looking heavily at the fjr doing a lot of research. My question is because I can't find a fjr local to sit on I'm 5.9. Would I be able to flat foot the fjr. I can almost on the wing. My vstar that's a given. O I'm 65. Not a spring turkey.

I am 6.0 ft. and can just barely flatfoot my FJR and that's with the Corbin seat on it which supposedly is a hair lower than the stock seat in its lowest position. And FJR's are top heavy IMO. And BTW you're younger than me---but not by much, LOL. Thanks for watching and commenting!🦾

You will struggle to get your feet flat footed on the FJR I'm 183cm and can just do it even with the seat down low settings

No comparison - take the 2015 FJR over the 2005 Goldwing. I would take a 2022 Goldwing over the 2015 FJR however. FWIW - I currently own a 2013 FJR and a 2016 BMW K1600 GTL Ultimate.

Good deal --- my "new one" I've now had for 10 years and she, my 2013 FJR1300a has almost 67,000 miles on her. My last long trip I took was in 2016 when I was 56 years old. I journeyed 7835 miles in 20 days, and we're still in love.... Atkinson if you haven't done it yet experience riding across the New Mexico high desert in the early evening. You won't know which to love more, the bike or Mother Nature.

FJR anytime 😊

Sell both 2005 Goldwing and FJR, get a 2018 plus Goldwing, DCT or 6 speed, best of both worlds.

Yes, a few others have also advised that. But, the increase of only seven horsepower more than my '05 Goldwing just doesn't get it done for me. Honda, throughout their product lines, has always been too conservative for my liking. Would love to have the 160 HP of the BMW GTL1600 but don't need the headaches I'm always hearing about with the Beemers. I really appreciate you watching and commenting Ken!!!

If you're just cruising-touring 2up keep goldwing if 1up solo sporting stile & touring keep fgr
