Honda GL 1800 Goldwing 2015

Honda GL 1800 Goldwing 2015

You like a Honda GoldWing - or you don't. For many people, the bulky, 421-kilo ship is simply too heavy. And that's perfectly legitimate, after all, not everyone can handle such a hunk. But once the Gold Wing is in motion, it is surprisingly easy to ride, thanks to the silky six-cylinder boxer engine. The braking system is also extremely reliable and precise. Of course, you can't demand too much sportiness given the limited lean angle, but you hardly have to make any concessions when it comes to the luxury features such as the sound system, navigation system, ventilation, heating and luggage compartment. And the 40th Anniversary Edition also looks very good with its noble paintwork.

Honda GL 1800 Goldwing Tour DCT 2018

The new Honda Gold Wing Tour DCT 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 Tour is much more agile and sporty thanks to less weight and, above all, a new chassis. The DCT (Dual Clutch Transmission) is a perfect match for the Gold Wing Tour, especially the automated Econ level enriches the comfort immensely. The Sport mode is perhaps a little too sporty, but there is still no lack of comfort. The seating comfort and the wind protection are unique, the many features are simply marvellous - more is really not possible. Only in terms of storage space, the new Gold Wing Tour is 40 litres smaller than its predecessor.
