1998 Honda Touring Bike reviews

Good reliable motorcycle. Last 300,00 miles. They are carbureted so they need tune ups. They are quick on take off and are fairly quiet . They have cab radios and am/ fm cassette players . The SE comes with air shocks and an on board compressor. It also has reverse. Show less

I have owned many GoldWings.The 1998 SE I now own is the best by far. I often ride 2 up and pull a Bushtec trailer. The bike performs great. Never any probllems. I travel with friends with BWM1200LT, another one has an 1800 Wing and the rest all ride 1500's. Over all, the 1500 is the most trouble free and low maintenance bike on the road. I know a lot of people with over 200,000 miles on their Wings and still going strong. I had 108,000 on my 92 and only sold it because of the deal I got on my 98. My wife say if I want an 1800 to go get one, but with only 30,000 miles on my 98, it'll be a long time before I part with my 2nd. love (my wife being my first). Show less

I have wanted a motorcycle since 1971. At that time we lived in another city an met friends that owned and vacationed on motorcycles as couples. I immediately wanted to join them but my wife said we had children to raise and it would have to wait. 28 years later I bought my brand new Goldwing SE in Candy Apple Red with matching full-face helmets with built in mic and speakers and a pull behind trailer. We have replaced all the reflectors with lights, added backrest, arm rests, rear speaker control, mud flaps, belly pan and wind deflectors. Have made two nice trips with those same couples from 1971 and I can't say how pleased I am with the bike and the experience. Now my wife says we shouldn't have waited. The bike has performed flawlessly and what little service that has been needed was excellent. This machine will serve my needs for many, many years. Recommend it to anyone wanting to travel the distance. Good roads and fair skies to you all! Show less

Traveled from UK to fulfil life's ambition (with wifey) bought bike in Mass. visited relatives in Maine then set off (with wifey & trailer & camping gear) to tour the beautiful USA. 20,000 miles later this machine was still purring and totally on top of its work. We visited all corners (including the 'Four Corners') and the bike never missed a beat. It was a total pleasure to ride, was serviced in Beverly, Mass; Las Vegas, Nevada; Billings, Montana, and Naples, Florida. Two new tyres fitted Billings & Tucson (one each time). Met more people because of the matching white GW & trailer than for any other reason. Loved them both so much that we imported them into the UK in May 2000 Show less
