I had a fun autumn ride from Longmont Colorado to Estes Park on my 2021 Honda Goldwing DCT Tour.

Hi Scruffy1971, It is important that I have bluetooth communication with the leader of the group ride to let him know when I'll need a pit stop.

Hi Don, Yes, it is quieter than my 2012 Wing when I'm in Econ or Rain mode. However, when I put it in Sport mode it is louder than my 2012 wing and it sounds really good.

Love that city. Spent a lot of time on motorcycle trips there back in the 80’s and early 90’s. Once when we were there they had 34 closed for constructions about 10 miles E. of Estes Park. We could run that road down and back as fast as we wanted with no traffic. Spent so many times on TrailRidge Rd. I knew every turn by heart from the top to the basin. Even road it at night with a full moon, and had my headlight off several times. Don’t try this!

I love it! I bought it new in June of 2021 I have almost 5,000 miles on it. It is worth the money but at the price I paid it should have a comfortable day-long seat. I will probably buy a Corbin seat for it this year.

I noticed you put in mid-grade fuel. Is the Goldwing like my wife's Subaru where you COULD run it on 87 but they RECOMMEND 91 or better and end up compromising between cost and fuel efficiency by getting 89 octane?
@howierides
@howierides 2 жыл бұрын
Hi Michiganborn, My 2021 Honda Goldwing owner's manual recommends 87, and putting a higher octane fuel than your vehicle requires is probably a waste of money. For a couple of months I've been using 85 which is widely available in Colorado because of the high altitude. In higher altitude areas the 85 fuel works like 87 fuel at sea level. I might do a video comparing mpg, zero to 60 times, and engine sound using 85 compared to 87. Don't follow my advice because I'm not a mechanic. The mechanics say to use the octane level recommended in your vehicle's owner's manual.
@michiganborn8303
@michiganborn8303 2 жыл бұрын
@@howierides That would be a good Idea on the fuel comparison. Where I'm at in the Sacramento area we really wouldn't have any need for the quicker detonation 85 fuel because we're only about 25' above sea level but I'm kind of a tight wadd and unfortunately my 2017 Road King is recommended for 91 or better.

I can't answer that question because it depends on if you enjoy going on long distant road trips or if you prefer short rides. I don't regret paying the extra money for my Goldwing.

Hello from Harrisburg Pennsylvania 🇺🇸 I have a 2016 RT LIMITED CAN AM Spyder and 2012 Suzuki Burgman 650 can I ask why did you trade or sell your Can Am Spyder for a Goldwing ? is there a big change from spyder to goldwing ? ? By the way this is my second Can Am Spyder 🤩 I love 💗 wheels and whenever my. Woman ride I prefer 3wheels very easy to backup lol 😂 my 2wheel 🛵 Suzuki Burgman 650 is ok but if you are on a hill /small incline I have to ask my woman to jump off so I can backup 😍 any regrets ? I’m now just thinking 🤔 about a Goldwing DCT I’ve seen a couple KZfaq videos, any suggestions lol 😂
@howierides

Hi Tony, I sold my 2012 Goldwing and bought the Spyder RT Limited because my woman had decided she would only continue riding with me if it was a trike. Then she decided not to ride with me even on the Spyder. I would still own the Spyder if I could afford both. I decided to trade it for the DCT Goldwing because I wanted a little more acceleration, better mpg, and I had learned a lot on how to do the maintenance from my prior Goldwings. The big changes going from the Spyder to the Goldwing is now I have less wind protection, it isn’t easy to do tight U-turns, backing up is harder, the seat isn’t as comfortable, and you have to pay more attention to sand and gravel. I don't have any regrets about buying the Goldwing but wish I had enough money to still have the Spyder parked next to it in my garage.

Auto generated receipts are immediately sent to and read on your phone as a text message. It serves as a way to track your history of purchases until your statement comes in. It won’t ever matter whether there’s paper in those machines reliant on the staff to refill. Auto receipts are superior form of tracking all purchases as they are immediately verified by you.
