You guys got me planing on buying a 2021 Goldwing in may of 2022 if there’s no changes for 2022! These videos have sold me! Honda should pay all you guys!!!!

When I sat on one at the dealership, bounced on it a bit, I knew right away that front wishbone suspension was a game changer. A fantastic improvement to the Wing!!

I got my new a little over a year ago. Best move I ever made , Harley is done in my life now that I have the wing. Ride safe

Fantastic review and great low-key but engaging presentation style. Want to get one soon! Thanks so much for posting.

After reviewing several videos like this one I traded in my 2011 Harley Roadking for a 2018 Goldwing DCT. Its only been a few weeks and so far I absolutely love my new ride and do not miss the Harley in any way shape or form.

@@mccgunter Mike, Good luck ! You will not regret it. The GW DCT is a wonderful machine.

I have a '19 DCT Tour. It took me about 4 months to be OK with the auto shifting. It is really quick. I was not comfortable with the shifting around corners but now I have total confidence in it downshifting.. The suspension is too soft for me and the saddle really sucks. All in all I have fallen in love with this one after having 350K miles on a "79, '97, and a '10. If you love riffing on the freeway, back roads and mountain roads, this is the bike.

Great review, I’m hunting a white DCT right now. I am so flippin excited. Haven’t ridden one yet. Hubby has manual I’m going for DCT. We can have the best of both worlds. I drove his 2018 tour tonight, have a pc 800 and ctx 1300, just sold my road king. Loving the comfort, smoothness and effortless riding, kicked Harleys to the curb.

I've had my 2023 Goldwing Tour for almost a month now. Yes, it's smooth and powerful with its 6-cylinder, 125 horsepower, and 125 lbs of torque. What I don't like: the automatic shifting in the city needs improvement. The bike is jerky when riding up to a stop light. From 3rd gear to 2nd, and from 2nd gear to 1st, it jerks, and it's not smooth. The dealership said that's normal. The second thing I don't like is the radio reception. FM stations fade in and out all the time even though I live only 45 miles from a major city. It's like the radio is missing the antenna altogether. The last thing that bugs me is the way Honda has you input your destination address into the navigation system and how it's difficult to save a location in your favorites location. The input process using the jog dial is tedious, so give yourself at least 5-6 minutes to input the address. What I love: the power, the smooth ride, the electrically controlled windshield, heated grips and seats, the beautiful LED headlights and foglights, and the storage.

My God, I love the sound of this bike HG-DCT-Tour. All Honda needs to do is address the problems with the shock strut dampers hitting their stops too much, out in more reliable electrical relays that live almost forever instead of for just for a few years, a bottom-plate armor to protect the engine belly from hitting speed bumps, educating first-time riders to avoid extended near-gridlock traffic jams that will wear out the clutches prematurely (avoid such traffic or switch to manual gear shift mode and keep it locked in first gear in such traffic).

I couldn’t stand it. I bought a new 2021 DCT Tour and love it. And the DCT is indeed awesome !

I never would have confused a HD with a Cadillac. Harleys are basically the Camaros of the MC world…just way more over priced relatively speaking.

It's not quite as smooth as the K1600B, but it is very refined and has some nice USP's, especially in DCT guise. The front suspension isn't really cantilever, it's more John Hossack, not dissimilar to the BMW duo-lever really.

Aidi Amran The BMW is a fine machine. It has more torque and speed than the Goldwing Tour. However, it is top-heavy and far less comfortable. I just finished an Orlando-to-NYC ride, and my 2018 Goldwing DCT Tour was a pleasure to ride. Also, the reliability of Goldwings is far superior to the BMW...and the dealership network is exceedingly larger (try to find a BMW dealership outside of a major city!), and maintenance is mostly proprietary to BMW. Lastly, the accessories for the Beemer are extremely expensive (BMW = "Bring Money With-ya"). With 44 years of production, you can't go wrong with a Goldwing. Good luck in your choice.

Aidi Amran I rented a 1600 GA in Scotland for 6 days...came home and bought a 2018 Goldwing DCT. The BMW has the “quickshift”, as stated above. The BMW has more power, better luggage capacity...the new GW Achilles Heel. But the Gold Wing is a better overall bike. The systems are better, Apple CarPlay, storage up front...the BMW has ZERO..and I means ZERO storage pockets outside of the top and side bags. Also the number of mods on a BMW is almost zero....mounts, upgrades, etc.....the BMW GPS is a Zumo that snaps into the dash. The Honda GPS is functional, but since you can run Apple CarPlay, you have several other options. Having s “native GPS” system will go away at some point...just give us a screen and compatibility and leave software to the software people...build a compatible screen. BMW 1600’s are good...and better in individual stats, but the Gold Wing is a better package and more complete ownership experience. My 2cents.

Generally the criteria for a novice street bike is try to buy used (less than 10 yrs old), around 400 lbs or less, no more than 50 hp, naked bike preferred (no fairings to damage if you drop it). Half of new riders give it up after 1 or 2 years so try not to spend big $$ on your first bike, there are always good used bikes for sale. So the Goldwing is definitely not a good first bike, and you should learn to ride a manual bike imo.
