Honda GL 1800 Goldwing Tour DCT 2022

Honda GL 1800 Goldwing Tour DCT 2022

The Honda Gold Wing is a big hit, both in terms of equipment and riding dynamics. The engine remains a wonderfully smooth six-cylinder boxer that still finds its purpose in sovereignty from the bottom up. It may be sportier than its predecessors, but it remains a comfortable tourer at heart. There is no lack of comfort, the seat comfort is superb, the wind protection sufficient, especially on the Gold Wing Tour models with higher windscreen and top case. The electronics package is also very generous, but here the years since the last major update are noticeable. Gold Wing fans will still enjoy it, but there are more contemporary tourers on the market.
