I wouldn't call that a flaw. That's an operator error.

Thanks to you I now know I should call my screw-ups, "100% design flaw". Thanks again. 😉

Page 7 of the 2024 Honda Goldwing Owners Manual: "Do not ride the vehicle with the mirrors folded inward, as the mirrors can interfere with the handlebar controls". This is followed by another warning with a well highlighted text under a !WARNING banner: "Riding the vehicle with the mirrors folded inward can interfere with your ability to safely operate the vehicle and could lead to a crash which you can be seriously hurt or killed. Make sure the mirrors are fully extended outward and secured in place before riding the vehicle". So who has the design flaw? The motorcycle or the motorcycle OWNER?

100% User error

I like many brands and styles of bikes... Currently riding a '21 Trike and it is very nice. I have to give credit to where it is due. I had a '10 Honda Goldwing and it was amazing. Sure it was heavy, but simply amazing... that 6 cy. engine is incredible and dependable. Honda does the wing right for sure and these new DCT versions raise the bar for sure imo.

Lol well at least if nothing else you got a good conversation going, but dang man that hurts to marked up a brandy new bike, safe riding and don’t drop that beauty anymore 😊

Sorry to see that damage with your brand new bike...I installed Traxxions tip over protection on my 2018...if you had the Traxxion tip over protection installed you would have had no damage to your saddlebag lid or mirror...about 650 dollars to replace that saddlebag lid and another couple hundred for the mirror housing..BTW the fact you had the mirror folded in is not a design flaw...user error

That happened with 2018 and up as well. You can’t turn to the left with your right mirror folded.

Excellent Video. I owned a 1990 Goldwing. Loved it. Now I own a 2023 Road Glide Limited. I do miss the Goldwing though. I think I'll get another one someday.

Honda nor any other manufacturer, can build an idiotproof bike. Not even remotely close to a design flaw. You simply aren't very good at low speed maneuvers.

I like the video. My comment as far as repairs on the saddlebag is take it to a wrapping place, have it wrapped. Then put all your stickers you are going to acquire on the wrap, or just a close color. The PSA part of your video is actually in the 300 page owners manual cautioning against operating with mirrors in retracted position. I’m a short rider, and when I put the Horizon Helicopter-bars on the position of the new bars is something that negates that concern. Additionally the bars are round, fully adjustable and much more comfortable. I will like and subscribe for your video is very good. ( I need to learn more about editing so I can put out cool videos too. PS; I read the manual 3 times so far. Currently at 22,000 miles on my 2022, and would not trade it for anything! 🎯👍 JT in northern Illinois

Bet you loved it more prior to trashing your saddlebag, due to operator error.

Not honda fault. Who rides w there mirrors folded in.

That U turn wasn’t even that tight

you had it a week, already damaged

I think Goldwings are made in America? Have fun on your new bike.

Been on youtube 20 yrs or whatever. Never " subscribed" or liked a vid. They will do fine.

Sux! Good to let people know though

Beautiful bike, sorry you already got a scar or two on it. That is a crazy design issue and maybe at the minimum they could put a warning light or buzzer on it just to help others from doing the same. Of course, good riding habits is to run through a check list before you start rolling, so there is that to consider.

so your an id-?

What is your point. Go back to 7th grade and finish your English lessons.
