2021 Honda reviews

I have a 2021 Honda Africa Twins 1100 Adventure sport. DCT. This is my 2nd duel sport. The Previous one was a 2012 BMW. GSA1200. Both are great bikes. I chose the Africa twin for its low weight, performance, Show less

The Honda Rebel 500 is a phenomenal bike that breaks the mold of traditional motorcycle style and escapes from the boring boulevard drone. The twin-cylinder engine is surprisingly quick for its size and style. The blacked-out look, light weight, and low seat height are perfect for new or experienced riders who want a bike that looks tough, and Honda’s slip/assist clutch makes learning to ride so much easier. Cruiser-class bikes are often thought of as being slow and turtle like, but the Rebel 500 is happy to kick it up a notch. With ABS anti-lock brakes you'll have a safer ride. Plus, for 2021, Honda added the new Rebel 500 ABS SE, a version that comes with Black Diamond-Stitch Seat, Black Fork Boots and Covers, and a Black Headlight Cowl. Discover the new Rebel 500 and escape the ordinary. Show less

Well after all those years Goldwing decided not to be called as a "Lazy Boy Couch on two Wheels" I guess and finally redesign the whole thing. As every newly designed item some points were a "miss" and some were a "wow" (in a good way)... Like famous saying "there is no such thing as perfect bike" we can all agree no bike can do everything great. For a bike to fit perfectly in a category it has to be stripped from the specifications of the other classes. So, one can not expect the passenger comfort to be great on a Hayabusa and don't expect a Goldwing perform great on a knee deep creek crossing... of course don't expect the wind protection of a Goldwing or an R12xxRT on a GS model. Whatever bike you'd like to bike stop comparing it with other brands/models. Even if they are in the same category. Don't think what bike A does compare to bike B and compared to bike C... But rather make a list of your priorities and buy the bike that fits your description of those. What are you looking at a bike? What kind of riding you do? etc, etc... So, What a 2021 Honda Goldwing Tour DCT does good? What it brings to the table ? - Honda's Goldwing Engine reliability... - DCT's comfort and ease of riding... - Technological advancements like ABS, Hill Start Assist, Traction Control, Riding modes, LED lights, Large color screen, Heated grips/seats, walking mode, Reverse gear etc... - Technological fun stuff like GPS, Apple/Android Car Play, SiriusXM radio, AM/FM/Bluetooth AUX connection - Goldwing world famous passenger comfort, - Newer larger capacity top case (compared to 2018-2019 models) I ride since I was 17 and that means I am riding since last 47 years. Like many of you guys I only owned and ride manual transmission bikes whether 5 or 6 speed. DCT was a curiosity purchase mainly and because of the good reviews too in a way. Since last 10 years I changed 10 bikes I told myself "what could go wrong"... If I didn't like it I could change this one too. Only few weeks past since the purchase and only 1500 miles I put on during this time. Does my left hand reaching for an invisible clutch time to time? Yes... Does my left foot kicking the air during a rapid acceleration from a dead stop position? Heck yes! But do I admit bike rides like a dream? Also heck yeah! For those who'd like to be in charge of which her they are in and when, please remember there is a Manual mode on this otherwise Automatic bike. Drop to 3rd or kick it to 7th whenever you pleased to do so under any circumstance. Then when you get tired of doing it just simply touch the button marked "A" and let the bike do it for you whether you're on tight twisties averaging 20-35mph or on a straight away Interstate cruising at 80 mph. As for slow speed maneuvers as we all know "parking lot maneuvers", trust me you'll get used to within an hr or so after getting on this bike! Will it perform parking lot tricks for the audience after an hr? No possibly not... But after a week or so, you can do that too! Once muscle memory begins to disappear and loosen the grip of your brain everything becomes the second nature on a Goldwing DCT... Heck, every time I switch bike models and brands that muscle memory cause me to blow my horn in most inappropriate times instead of hitting the signal switch or vice versa. Once the location of the controls etched in your brain there is no way going back to MT... Unless you're a person who is driving a car with Automatic transmission and at every passing mile you wish you were in a car with stick shift, trust me in a week or so after owning one you'll never look back and feel sorry for not having a bike with manual transmission! As for the other common gripe I hear regarding luggage capacity of the last generation of Goldwing Tour; I don't know how much stuff you're taking with yourselves on a one-up tour but the saddlebags are more than adequate for a modern era Touring adventure for reasonable times and destinations. If you're planning an Ewan McGregor style Long Way Round type circumnavigation, just remember they've had a supply truck followed them... For those of you touring one-up, there's always possibility to put a portable bag on passenger seat and voila or those of you who are traveling with your spouses just tell your sweetheart to leave the washer and dryer back at home please! Hope to see all of you on the road no matter what you choose to ride and where you choose to ride... So have fun and be safe out there! Show less

Honda, years ago, burst into the MC-field with the 250 cc dual sport and it was an instant hit with owners being deeply satisfied. It wasn't long after that owner feedback requested a more powerful model and Honda heard them. Enter the 2021 300 dual sport rally model with ABS (optional). To make it more appealing besides power, they added more looks (sleeker) and an extra-large gas tank. If that wasn't enough, they made it affordable too. The perfect bike was born. For those that wanted even more power, the 450 became available but required more maintenance for that power. Not so with the 300 which is why this bike remains in constant demand Show less
