  • what's the point if the driver will be launched in the air.....a bike does not stay in that position before an accident....i can't believe it people actually buy this crap

  • maybe honda should put two more wheels, windshield, couple of seats and make a car cos this concept is crap :)

  • @stopndropnpop dont worry about these idiots...u have an excell brain.. If im goin 40mph a car pulled out an airbag is gon help u eject 4rm d seat.leanin 4ward..its gon bust yo chest..cant nobody sit up and ride like dat u c how he kep movin

  • better wear a face mask!  no bueno~

  • That is totally stupid.

    If the guy had been leaning forward like he was riding, it would have taken his head off.

  • Just as long as it does not pop out at 90 on the M1 ! !

  • I've been in a motorcycle crash and I will say this is a very good thing. Had this been on my old motorcycle I would have not been catapulted off the front end and continued at 45 mph down a gravel shoulder and then stopping abruptly when I met up with a stone mailbox. I give every ounce of credit that Honda took the time to put this system on a motorcycle. It is not a get out of jail free card for failing to learn how to drive a motorcycle correctly and using common sense.

  • @stopndropnpop The bike and therefore the airbag have stopped abruptly, That'd that is why they deploy. Thats why airbags exist on this bike and in cars.

  • honda made a harley?

  • i have no comment for the airbag cuz i think it can cuase good and bad.there are millions of ways to crash so im sure some would get hurt by it while others also get their lifes back...but my most concern is what if there was a 2nd passanger on the motorcycle? one flys like a bird while another gets a big fluffy(hard) pillow??...joking but at the same time serious

  • I've been in a frontal crash, if that was on my bike. Probably would have been dead.

  • alot of bike crashes are from cars pulling out on you, i would rather slam into that airbag than go through the side window of over the top, ok some crashes do happen from the side, but its a start, cars only started off with airbags for front impact

  • In Soviet Russia, BIKE LAUNCHES YOU.

  • Its stupid. An airbag on a bike is a stupid Idea. It doesn't seem like it will do any good because most accidents are not from a biker slamming into something front first. Its usually people in cars that take them out from the rear or sides. It won't protect you if you slide across the ground either.

    Its like putting a seatbelt on a bike.

  • @hackmattr While it only will protect in front impacts and most likely in a very narrow speed range; it still is a safety device. If it prevents your grandpa on his goldwing from injuring himself in an accident, is it still a stupid idea?

  • wow u dumb asses need to go back to school and study the physic's of motion. seriously do u know how much force an airbag would need to blow back a rider? who lets say for the sake of argument is moving at 55 mph. The airbag would need to generate a force strong enough to push a rider moving forward at 55 mph and has a weight of 185lbs. Ok u following me still? the airbag would kill the rider on impact basically defeating the purpose of the bag. Honda did their homework now go do yours.

  • @racerxxx98 You try the math...Lets see if you get all the variables correct...Honda did not do their homework. How many riders ride sitting straight up.Along with the Rider, the airbag is also moving forward canceling forward momentum.......Dumbass

  • Comment removed

  • @stopndropnpop ok, dumbass, on a TOURING bike, you don't need to be like the Hunchback of Notre Dame and be bent over like you are getting fucked up the ass. If you wreck going 60mph, that is like jumping onto concrete after jumping off of an 8 story building. Now I would rather have an airbag there to break my fall then to land face first onto something solid.

  • @jimihendrixtribute Ok, Dumbass, Not dependent on the bike your riding or how you ride are LAWS OF PHYSICS AND MOTION. Its not going to break your fall... Get off your hourly supply of weed and graduate middle school... Fucking moron.

  • @stopndropnpop technically yes it woukd it would slow you down and keep you from going as far as you would with a regular bike

  • Comment removed

  • @racerxxx98 Who said anything about blowing a rider back dumbass...In a car you have a seat back AND a selt belt.... When the bike stops from a collision....NOTHING IS HOLDING THE RIDER IN PLACE YOU DUMB REDNECK HILLBILLY FUCK!

  • How can this save lives? It will eject you from the bike into who knows what. Even more dangerous if there is a passanger behind the driver. The RS Taichi Airbike-suit is definitely a better choise.

  • I thought he was going to run it into a wall.

  • Airbag will safe your life, but on the Goldwing, it will kick you off and kill you on the road. wear the seatbelt, or make one.

  • he'll live from the crash, but he'll die from suffocation. muahahahaha!

  • @gotfatbob09 ur pops is gay

  • what if the rider is bending don and the airbag inflates ? It will probably blow your head in pieces.

  • most goldwing riders are fat fucks anyway with their own built in airbag

  • I really wonder if any of the naysayers even bothered to even view "2008 Honda Gold Wing Airbag Technology" on YouTube. I noticed the naysayers comments were asinine & inane. Of course the naysayers spent big money & did even more research,crash testing & evaluations than HONDA did. To the naysayers there are 3 other HONDA Goldwing model options to choose from. Don't believe the airbag model would beneficial in event of a crash - then don't buy it. For me, I choose the Goldwing Airbag model

  • @IWANTALEXUS I know someone who t-boned a mini-van with the new Goldwing and had the airbag. He said he was standing there yelling at the driver when he realized he was "standing there" safe and sound. He looked back at the bike and it was just starting to lean over so he ran to try and hold it up to stop any more damage. A t-bone is exactly the kind of crash this is designed for. The bag is too big and too high for you to go over. You might bounce off, but a fall is much better after the bounce

  • @IWANTALEXUS not saying that if you were going at slow speeds that it wouldnt help but you have to take it into consideration when you t-bone a car or a car t-bones you like i have experienced personally i guarantee you, you will not be able to hold on to the bike and the airbag will do absolutely no good, if anything it could cause more harm then good. and just another ? do you ride bikes??????

  • AND WE FILLED IT WITH WEED!

  • I think my backpack filled with small inflatable puppies would be more useful

  • this is stupid cuz if you crash in a bike you will go flying out of the bike and you head will hit the pavement before the bike can open the air bag !!!!!

  • @tretaraska2008 That's not always true. A relative who was a Police Officer on duty riding the PD's H-D crashed into a truck that ran a red light. That that Motor Officer relied upon their training & years of experience to lessen immenant impact while hanging onto the H-D. He did not go flying off the bike. Instead the bike glanced off the truck and went skidding nearly 200 ft. with him still on it, The end result was his butt cheeck & thigh suffered severe roadrash & he survived the crash.

  • @tretaraska2008 or it will inflate and throw you off the back lol what a dumbass move honda

  • ok so just saying first off if you get in a motorcycle wreck cause by the freaking idiots in the world who dont look out for you like i have had happen to me TWICE no freaking air bag is going to protect u at all!!!! you'll be off of the bike within seconds and it could do more harm then good to have that airbag.

  • @MrJoshblevins From crash detection to complete deployment of the airbag - it takes less than 5/100's of a second Also, if you T-bone a car or truck that has just went through that red light at high rate of speed - say 55 in 30mph zone...why wouldn't you want something to stop, or at least leasen the impact ? This is the same type of myoptic naysaying that went on when airbag systems were being offered as an option in cars during the early 1980's.

  • if necessary there should be back airbags and side ones if possible

  • @texmexman1 Knowing HONDA they will probably develop a side impact bags for the passenger that will be in the rear speaker or armrest area. Go to corportate dot honda dot com slash safety slash

  • .......it deploys when the bike's seat senses you shit in it!

  • Live and Debt

  • most bikers when they have frontal crash they just get thrown off the motorcycle. actually i've never seen a biker hits the handle bars in a frontal crash. anyway, I love this invention. it just adds a little bit to the level of safty.

    love you honda. thank you for the CBR1000rr BTW lol

  • Hi WTR. My name's Joel from Marseille (France). I'm the the "happy boss" of Road2luxe : the rental specialist of Honda Goldwing in France. We have a fleet of 12 GL1800 ready for rental and tours across Europe.

    See our website : Road2luxedotcom

  • what happens when you get hit from the side?

  • that's so fucking.. it's so awesome! it's so fucking awesome! i can't fucking look at the screen cause i'm almost laughing myself to death

  • breaking news........ a man riding a honda goldwing survive after he crash on a car but he died after the airbag hit him....

  • The slo-mo effect makes it sound like a nuclear blast.

  • there is more mathematics and physics involved in this that we will ever get even close to knowing/understanding, but seeing this and the innovations honda has made in the past,i can only guess that honda designers did their homework well before officially releasing this, otherwise there is no point in marketing something that will make them look fool of themselves later,

  • there is more mathematics and psysics involved in this that we will ever get even close to knowing/understanding, but seeing this and the innovations honda has made in the past,i can only guess that honda designers did their homework well before officially releasing this, otherwise there is no point in marketing something that will make them look fool of themselves later,

  • hahahaahhah no

  • if u r goin forwards and u hit somthin the bike will stop but u wont so u slam into the air bag and it launches u off and u hit a car........this is totaly safe....oh were suposed to deploy the air bag when we r not moving wow c.e.o's are smart and desiners and testers and....

  • @dsm1021 oh really? so you are smarter than the "c.e.o;s" and "designers" and the "testers", wow man i think that you are wasted here, i think you should work at NASA, i mean you totally figured it all out by just looking at this video, right? all the physics that come into play during a crash, the G forces, and all that parameters, let me give you a small advice, go back to jerking off with your dick and leave the comment posting to those who have an average IQ to do that,OK?good

  • @panoulis20 ur a retard 4 people have the same idea as me and im only 14 u r wasted and have no life thats why u trole on utube and say crap to people u dont know cause u know that ur safe behind a computer screen

  • @dsm1021 actually i "trole" because people like you who dont even know how an airbag works, have an opinion in videos about airbags, and its not just an opinion, YOU ARE MAKING FUN OF THEM,i mean,i've been fixing cars for 4 years,even studied at university, you dont see me reply,and all i am saying is this, if you are such a physics genious and you did the math and solved all those equations backing up your previous statements then why dont you send an email to honda and make some reall money??

  • @dsm1021 oh and by the way 2 more things, A learn how to spell before replying me you fucking homosapiens,

    B, i dont hide before a computer screen, i am coming to boston next month, maybe we can meet and i can beat the hell out of your faggot ass, i dont car if you are 14 or 20 or whatever, and dont waste any more of my time, dont reply , fuck off

  • @panoulis20 You shouldn't misspell words after making fun of other's spelling. Homosapien simply means a human for the record.

  • @YZtwostrokin no mistake was made, when you call someone homosapiens , people that lived in early civilizations come in mind, primitive ones, to prove that, if you go out and call a stranger homosapiens, i think he will call you a name too, anyways mate i think you should focus on doing more creative things rather than reading other people's comments on youtube and "correcting" them

  • @panoulis20 The word you're looking for is Neanderthal. I rather enjoy making fun of people on Youtube, makes me feel good about myself.

  • @YZtwostrokin it looks like you have some serious mental issues

  • @panoulis20 Haha I'm just messing with you about the makes me feel good about myself thing. However, you're still an idiot for thinking "homosapien" is an insult.

  • @YZtwostrokin if you have any balls say that to my face, otherwise dont say it at all, you are just another pussy behind a computer screen calling people names,

    and before you start comparing what i said to that guy with what you just said to me, know this, whenever i call people names its for a reason, and i have the balls to back it up, and i would sure hell would tell that guy the same thing to his face even if he had the size of king kong, get that pussyface?get lost now, go jurk off

  • @panoulis20 Haha if you called me a homosapien to my face I would laugh then point out that you were wrong. You gonna fight somebody over that? I like how you say it's easy to talk tough behind a computer then do it yourself. All I said was you were wrong. You get mad every time you get proved wrong?

  • @YZtwostrokin so predictable,, i knew you were going to compare my reply with yours, you are just so stupid that you didnt even bother reading what i said in the previous comment or understand it, "however you are still an idiot" , where do you live mate? i am coming to boston next month, i would really really love to hear you say that to my face, for anything else dont waste my fucking time

  • @panoulis20 Haha I live in Texas. You shouldn't be so uptight though, it's not good for your health. Can't let people like me get to your head. Though, the fact remains, you still called the guy a homosapien haha

  • @YZtwostrokin texas? that explains a lot,,

  • @panoulis20 Texas isn't what you see in the movies, and apparently we've got better education systems than Hong Kong.

  • @yowzephyr this is basicly what i said and panoulis20 is probubly one of the workers thanks for sharing the same idea after i got a bad comment on me atleast there ar some logical people on u tube i mean this in a good way :)

  • Comment removed

  • I think that airbag will shoot you of the motercycle and drop you in front of a car going 100

  • @diesel5471 thats what i said :)

  • There's no point. There's nothing holding you down so you'll go flying in the air, while the airbag goes off and does nothing.

  • @weinerschnitzelboy same idea as mine

  • When you have a head on crash, your body fly front but the force of the airbag shoot at you. You are going to absorb the force of the airbag and your body's force going forward...I think the airbag will KILL YOU instead of saving you. Probably make a smaller airbag will be better. STUPID IDEA...did they actually done the test on the force the body will be taking on head on crash???????

  • @sautan904 i agree 

  • 1:45 listen to what he says... it is possible to have fun and be safe... same thing my parents said to me before i went to a party last night haha

  • goldwings are almost cars

  • I think the airbag should be on a person around the shoulder area. It would deploy when the body strikes something, deploying a "LifeJacket"kinda thing. It would keep your upper body safe. You cant do much about the lower body, but thats the same for cars too.

  • Another stupid idea. NO IT WILL NOT SAVE YOUR LIFE. They are forgetting about the Slide AFTER the impact!!!!!!!!!

  • cannot wait until all bikes are covered with airbags and cotton wool and lots of fluffy bunnies... yea biking is dangerous so why not put external airbags on all the fu*kin cars that pull out on ya when your riding safely and within the speed limits anyway you hit a car with a goldwing its the car that fu*ked

  • 0:51 ROADHOUSE!!!

  • fucking death trap..

  • 3... 2... 1... *BOOM (Giant ballsack appears)

  • I only see this working ( maybe) in a head on at fairly low speed. The rest of the time i think it would be a hinderance more than anything else.

    I say this with 22 years riding experience.

  • @waltibaba Actually i did but i didnt know it was like that bad....o.O

  • wtf is an airbag supposed to make an exploding sound and then start smoking like that? god are they trying to kill us?

  • @NemesisSypheroth Yeah read up before you comment. Airbags are inflated by a small explosive charge.

  • actualy, ive crashed a few tyms, and if my byk hav had this, it wud hav blown off and mkes things worse

  • what it actually does is before you get ejected and fly straight forward it vaults you into the air higher for maximum splatter effect

  • @bleedthedead

    LMAO

  • ALSO!!!! so if I drop my bike in my driveway and it goes off....WTF?!? is it considered totaled then??? 

  • sooooo, if you have a small fender bender; and this goes off, does it total your bike out????

  • Imagine: front crash the mass of your body is going forward, then you get slamed by the airbag.. ouch.

  • I can't help to feel that if you were leaning towards a bit more the airbag would knock you right into the air.

  • I think they still have a problem about what if the biker falls off the motorcycle. shouldnt they be worrying about that part as well?

  • Looks like he was smoking a huge joint afterwards!!!

  • stupid as honda

  • what the hell...is the test subject on fire!?

  • omg its so unnecessary :D

    if you fall you fall off your bike, or are you strapped on your bike ? :D

  • does this exist for the blade 1000RR?

  • Does he mean "what will happen is when your sat still on the bike the airbag will activate"?

  • this is old!

  • That doesn't look safe at all

  • bang boob smokes

  • Amazing how many know-it-alls here state what it'll "probably" do without having any idea of how much testing Honda actually did on this & what results they got. Do they really think there was no testing done, in real-world conditions and/or that Honda would release something that's likely to kill its customers? Bloody amateur "engineers".

  • @lowlightimages i know right!

  • @lowlightimagesI don't have to be an "engineer" to know that I would not want this on my bike.

  • @weshause i gotta agree with you there. I dont think id want this on mine either.

  • @lowlightimages

    yea well, people on youtube are handicapped.  Every time i go on youtube, I feel sad for humanity, and i wonder how so many computer keyboards operate so well while covered in drool. People who think airbags are dangerous have never contemplated that crashing at 30 mph is like jumping from a 3-story building..I'd rather have airbag burns than cartwheel over the handlebars with a broken spine.....sigh. Oh well...better go eat more playdough and drink mountain dew..fuck.

  • @ilovesolfege LOL

  • @ilovesolfege that is tru only time a air bag is dangerous at any point manly cars is if the person is to light or to small in hight that is i mean like if a person is under 4'9" it will most likely brake bones in there faces thats the only time thay are of real danger idk about bikes and all but mostlikely wont have someone of theas higts on them lol and looks like for smaller ppl it wont do the same as a car thats the only time thay are of real danger

  • @ilovesolfege haha you type with proper grammer thats cool you hardley ever see that

  • @lowlightimages Everybody's a critic lol

  • @lowlightimages ... toyoto dosnt have a problem with not testing key components

  • @lowlightimages Have you ever seen a motorcycle accident? That's all the research I need to see to know this will not do a god damn thing to save someone.

  • The main "thing" of those kind of "protections" is that they're trying to do better protective gear! I hope that in a few years, motorcyclists will have available at their disposal many perfected versions of today's "out of the box" solutions when it comes to protective gear! So let's allow them to evolve!

  • id just buy a air bag riding suit before i bought one of these pieces of shit

  • If safety is your #1 concern then why are you riding a bike? quite the conundrum!

  • you'll still go flying

  • You'd prob have a higher risk of death with this airbag trying to keep you inplace then you would if you gotten thrown off your bike in a wreck with no airbag.

  • that will push yu right under the truck nxt lane lame

  • that would probably just launch you if anything

  • @LukeTheFlook WHEEEEEEOHSHITIMGONNADIEEEEEEE­EE

  • Wouldnt that be like throwing a ball at the ground, but this time the rider is the ball?

  • Boom headshot!

  • I dont believe most motorcycle accidents are caused by driving straight into a wall, which seems like the only thing that this airbag system would be good for...

  • i can see that hurting .. fine when your leaning back and not moving but if you hit a car doing 50 or 60 your good as fucked!!!!

  • pritty lame....air bags on bikes would hardly be safe, when u think of most accidents happen when idiotic stunts r made. and if this instance, u smack another car head on, good luck w that helping ya!

  • problem solved to ride with a fat girl lol

  • Well, I've ridden bikes since I was a teenager and I've seen some pretty bad wrecks that I myself have had and others friends who have wrecked as well. I would rather have some protection than not at all as if any of you have ever dumped a bike or had an accident in one, you know the misery. Any protection that will keep your heart beating, lungs breathing and lessen the severity of an impact, I'm all for and this shows that Honda is at the forefront of riding technology.

  • This looks like it will get you in a reck! Honda Motorcycle FAIL! Smh....if anything get the air jacket, that will save your life

  • @JannaBananaz 90% of the time that a bike hits something head on the whole bike will either flip forward or backwards, I havent seen a bike accident that has resulted in the bike staying in a position that this would help in any way, Its a good concept it just wiil not help in a reall accident.

  • bet that feels good on the old man sack

  • what the hell?

    This is like how they used to teach kids to duck under their flimsy wooden school desks in the event of a tactical nuclear strike. The only effect is to feel safer up until the moment of your untimely death.

    No thanks, Honda. Ill just not drive a Goldwing, that way I wont crash to begin with because my bike wont weigh 900 pounds.

  • It's a step ....forward ?? Perhaps just in the fact that we are chatting about it

  • O.o how many accident have this dynamic?

    the engineers have to ride for a long time before making this!

    With this thing you can be wrecked just parking

  • Of course, this is ONLY to attract new customers, like wealthy newbies

  • Comment removed

  • and if you lean in to be stream line you get knocked the fuck out

  • That will NOT save your life !

  • If the crash does not kill you, the airbag will..

  • @sigern96 ...and if the airbag doesn't kill, the toxic fumes produced from it will.

  • @sigern96 true true

  • @sigern96 how??

  • @sigern96 if the airbag doesn't kill you, the vehicle behind you will...:p

  • Does the guy on the Goldwing inhale that smoke coming out of the airbag after its charge went off?

    I guess this airbag also gives you a nice punch when you're in its way.

    Does Goldwing also come with an autopilot?

  • this is shit, this airbag can kill you...

  • buuaaahahhahahhahahahahahahaha­hahahahahah, what a bunch a pussies

  • Why dont u just buy a car instead of a motor-car?

  • What a bunch of pansey's!!! If you want a cup holder and GPS, and a friggin air bag...then you should be riding in a car!!! Anyone who pays money for a Honda Goldwing is not a true motorcycle rider at heart.

  • @GenericUth

    Then what bike makes you a "true motorcycle rider" may I ask?

  • Those of you that think you know more then the engineers that designed this must not think they thought of everything you stated. Not saying this airbag is a good or a bad idea...just saying I'm sure they've thought of this stuff. If you know more then the engineers...go work for Honda then. Just my 2¢ .

  • it just does that out of no where? thats not safe at all

  • @yallainthighlikeme

    Nah man, there is a countdown first, so you have time to prepare for it.

  • They should make an airbag that resembles Kirby.

  • Yeah great stuff you invented there.... what's next a reverse gear??? bloody japanese people....

  • @hydrocloricman

    some goldwings actually have a reverse gear...

  • Back in the '60s some numbnutz introduced a law in Conn. requiring a SEATBELT on motorcycles! The law was defeated by ONE vote from a Legislator who vehemently HATED motorcycles! He explained his vote by saying that if he were the rider, he would want to be as far from the bike as he could get if it crashed!

  • I don't think that thing is the difference between life and death lol.

  • i would much rather fly off the bike and slide to the corner, than have that thing go off and trap me on the bike while the bike falls over and drags with with it, possibly trapping me on the road and allowing other cars to run me over.

  • wouldn't the airbag catapult u forward as you lose grip

  • I dont think they know that, when u crash on a bike its completely different to a car......tits

  • an airbag on a bike. ahaha wow how many people you know have been in a motorcyle crash where the rider stayed on durning the crash? just wow

  • thats stupid if your o a bike your still gonna fall and hurt yourself severly

  • To the people who have no clue and thinking the "SMOKE" is actually smoke here are the details: First. The powder substance in HONDA airbags is baby powder or corn starch. Second the "SMOKE" effect is the airbag DEFLATING and the cornstarch being released. There ya go. Now you all can stop leaving ignorant comments on the "SMOKE." I would rather hit an airbag than the front bars or windshield anyday if I was in an accident.

  • ерунда полная

  • How to suicide jumping 20 meters back...

  • #fail

  • lame

  • Anyone that rides a Goldwing does not go above 50 km/h anyway, so i guess this intended if you use your front break REALLY hard...

  • Lol, You'll die from all that smoke instead.
