The more I watch you’re videos I more I’m considering moving over to the goldwing DCT from the k1600 GT. The GT is a great ride but the convenience of the automatic, creep forward and reverse is intriguing to me. I’ve 5’8” and those two conveniences alone have my attention.

It made me go from BMW K1600 to my ‘21 GW TOUR DCT and the comfort level and low CG ensures great handling

Sold my K1600GTL for a GW 2022. Regret i did that not much earlier. For me its also the weight. The weight of the GW is much "lower" and therefor the handling is, for me, heaven compare to the GTL. And that for a GW which is 50 kilogram heavier then the BMW.

I'm an inch shorter. My legs are the short part of me, and even though I'm powerfully built, I need a low center of gravity. The goldwing did that for me no problem when I test rode it in 2018. Budget and practicality made me trade in my ctx700 for the rebel 1100. The rebel is great for solo touring, but offers no wind protection or amenities like the Goldwing.

I am a believer in the premise that speed is the determinant of fuel range. Go extra fast, run out. Go easy, ride all the way to your destination and arrive 12 minutes later on a whole morning's ride.

Another of my favorite rides. I like taking that turn off onto 74 for as well for some easy views and light cruising. Having made the relocation to SE Aurora makes it so that there is either a lot of highway time, or a lot of traffic time to get to the fun parts. Ride safe, looks like a lot of fun. I've only test ridden the 'wing along Parker a bit.

My experience with the 2003 GL1800 is that you don't even feel the second party on the machine. A passenger makes the bike a bit more "planted" on the road. Luggage weight is nothing; what's more important is how high above the bike it is...higher up the more you feel it. Again, low speed manoevering is the only place you feel the weight at all.

Started riding in ‘19 with a NC750x DCT. Moved to the ‘23 GW Tour DCT this past spring. Not going to any other bike and while I don’t need to 2-up since wife has her own bike, I can’t find any faults with this bike outside of the infotainment system

Thanks for the great videos, very informative. I am just going from a K1600gtl to the new 2022 Tour Premium Airbag DCT. It was delivered 2 weeks ago here in Australia but due to a shoulder injury I have not been able to ride and probably won’t for some months yet. So just looking at it and getting familiar with the controls and apple carplay and the setup so you don’t have to have a comms unit active to get the CarPlay to work through the speakers as the Australian delivered bikes don’t have any navigation built in. So you have to use whatever you have installed on your phone. I can’t wait to actually ride the bike..

Congratulations Phil on your new Wing! I need to redo my Car Play vid to show the straight forward setup.. but in my experience.. you need to connect your bluetooth headset (Sena) in my case .. then switch the output on the Goldwing to headset.. then plug in your phone for the Car Play to launch.. I dont think it works on external speakers at all..

How does it handle two up plus say 45 lbs of luggage in stop start city traffic? I just sold my 1250GS because it was unmanageable in that configuration in that scenario. The 1250 GS is an otherwise great bike but my wife finds it really difficult to climb on to the pillion seat, which is why it had to be sold. I’m now looking at a new GW Tour as soon as they become available.

Hey Niels! We ran an over night trip to Estes Park with a good amount of luggage last season.. there was some kind of fair going on in town and we were slow crawling through the crowds 2up on the bike to make it through town.. I was super impressed how easy it was to keep the bike centered while loaded 2up and moving slowly around cars and people.. Have you guys had a chance to go sit on a GW at the dealer? The pillion floorboards make is super easy for pillion mounting..

Hey CPU.. that is my turbo button!.. nah.. just kidding.. I have this habit of clearing the turn signals without thinking about it.. I had a previous bike that the turn signals would stick and I got in the habit (or OCD) of clearing the signals (center press) to ensure the blinker wasnt on for no reason.. that was a few bikes ago and still do that motion without thinking about it.. the Goldwing actually auto-clears the turn signals.. but I still have the habit..
