Honda GL 1800 Goldwing 2020

Honda GL 1800 Goldwing 2020

The new 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. Nevertheless, the Gold Wing is much more agile and sporty thanks to less weight and, above all, a new chassis. Nevertheless, there is no lack of comfort, the seat is wonderfully comfortable, the wind protection is sufficient due to the somewhat lower windshield - but it is good for the looks. The Gold Wing Tour models have a higher windshield and top case anyway. Theoretically, the Gold Wing can be upgraded to a Gold Wing Tour with a top case and higher windshield, but then the traction control is missing, which is standard on the Gold Wing Tour and Gold Wing Tour DCT.
