Honda Gold Wing (GL1800) reviews

This is the 2nd GL1800 I've owned and sadly my last due only to age (for me, not the bike). Easily the best all-around bike I've ever owned, and definitely the king of long-haul comfort. Likes include a level of equipment and capabilities that still lead the pack compared to many later model touring bikes. Comfortable as an armchair and with addition of air wings, equally as quiet and comfortable for the passenger. With heated seats and grips, plus an adjustable hot air redirect to the feet, this is as comfortable as Winter riding gets. Dislikes are few: obviously, the wired intercom and sound system is dated nowadays and spare parts and cables are getting tougher to find. While the bike is very agile, even at low speeds, it still weighs close to 1,000 pounds fully loaded, and you'll feel every bit of that if it tilts over too far at slow speeds. I'm not going to deduct stars for this - heck, it's a 1.8L bike! If I was 10 years younger, and urban riding hadn't become so crazy where I live, I'd never sell - this is the only bike I've ever owned where I have never, not once, felt envy at the sight of another bike, other than the latest model Gold Wing.

This is a great motorcycle. I've had it a couple years. It's like a new bike. The owners manual and tools are still in the sidebar. Even the trailer manual is there. The new tires haven't been broke in yet. Nothing is wrong with the bike. It turns heads everywhere I've been. Show less

I purchased this can am on Friday. It's a beautiful machine. The dealership was terrific to work with. I drove it and it handled amazingly. They had a minor repair to replace a switch so had to leave it there until the repair is complete. They won't release a used vehicle until it is 100%. Show less

We rode this bike from Michigan to Key West, and from Michigan to Sturgis, SD. We had no problems whatsoever, while my four Harley brothers each had at least one mechanical issue. This bike has been dealership maintained, and is in excellent condition. Less than 23,000 miles. Show less

The motorcycle is in excellent conditions. It has many extras. The bike is still under a 2 year manufacturer's warranty! This bike it's a must see! 2018 Honda® Gold Wing Tour, 2018 Honda® Gold Wing Tour Red THE ULTIMATE PERFORMANCE TOURING MACHINE This is a bike is a 7-speed DCT. All in a more agile body that’s over 85 pounds lighter. You’ll also find the latest in technology, including Apple CarPlayTM integration, and five distinct trim levels to suit your style. The 2018 Gold Wing is designed to push the limits of what a touring bike can be. And expand the adventure beyond anything imagined. Features may include: PERFORMANCE ENGINE The Gold Wing’s horizontally opposed six-cylinder engine is famously smooth and powerful. We’ve kept that same overall architecture, but it’s an all-new 1833cc powerplant for 2018, and over 13 pounds lighter (more than 8 pounds for the DCT versions). ALUMINUM CYLINDERS SLEEVES High-strength aluminum cylinder sleeves help reduce weight, increase cooling efficiency, and reduce engine length. The 73mm cylinder bore and short, high-strength crankshaft also help make the engine more compact. UNICAM CYLINDER HEAD DESIGN The new engine uses four-valve, Unicam® cylinder head design. That improves engine performance and power, and also contributes to the engine’s weight reduction. The four-valve per cylinder design is also a big part of the new Gold Wing’s improved fuel efficiency. HANDLING DOUBLE WISHBONE FRONT SUSPENSION One look and your eyes will immediately go to the Gold Wing’s radical, new Honda-engineered double-wishbone front suspension. The innovative design changes the path the wheel travels through the suspension stroke, and that lets us move both the engine and the rider/passenger closer to the front wheel. You get more room, and stellar handling. FRAME This latest generation all-aluminum frame is significantly lighter and more compact than previous editions. State-of-the-art die-casting lets us fine-tune chassis rigidity, giving you both a smooth ride and precise handling. SWING ARM/REAR SUSPENSION Using our proprietary single-sided Pro Arm® design, the aluminum swingarm still houses the Gold Wing’s shaft drive. The swingarm links to the frame using a new, patented pivot structure that both increases stiffness and reduces weight. You get responsive handling and a smoother ride.

Originally purchased this motorcycle for the reliability and comfort that Goldwing is known for. This bike did not disappoint. It is by far the most comfortable bike I have ever owned. Full wind screen, 4-speaker AM/FM/CB/Ipod sound system, heated grips/seats, and ability to blow warm air on your feet make it the best 3-season bike available ~ Comfortable to for days. Although it is a large 1800cc motorcycle it is very well balanced and handles superbly. Due to very low miles and TLC the current owner gave this bike, it is an exceptional value for the lucky next owner. Show less

Ultra reliable and comfortable. Capable of touring the continent. Literally the most popular and top rated touring machine in the industry. Perfectly balanced allowing ease of control despite its size. Runs on 87 octane fuel per Honda Motor Co. Show less

So I dropped by the honda yamaha dealership to check out 3 bikes. A honda grom a honda monkey and a honda navi. I was excited and ready to start the process. After looking at them i settled on the navi. Once i spoke to the agent he told me that price was up of 4500 for the honda navi. On thier website it states 1900 rounded up. I understand taxes and fees. But 4500? I told him about the website and he said yes thats msrp. Its not what we actually said it for. So then why advertise msrp if you are not going to sell for msrp. Complete false advertisement. Show less

Best luxury touring motorcycle you can buy. Hands down! She's not cheap but you won't regret it. Guaranteed! Only front suspension could be better but Progressive or Traxxion will solve the problem. Also front fork brace is highly recommended. Show less
