Honda Gold Wing (GL1800) reviews

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

My Honda 2001 Honda GL1800 Gold wing ABS just turned 300,000 km. An absolutely outstanding motorcycle in very aspect. I had to address the unbelievably mediocre stock suspension along with the horribly uncomfortable stock seat.l too. Both were inexpensive solutions that I resolved shortly after I purchased in 2001. With these few changes the 5th generation GW’s are in a class of their own. Show less

Imagine riding a couch down the highway - that's the 1800 Honda Goldwing. Greatest touring bike ever! The color stands out for other traffic to see. The flood lights add safety especially at night when wanting to see more in the roadsides. It rides like a dream. Show less

Best motorcycle ive ever owned. Reliability, comfort, safe, fuel economy, easy to put long days in the saddle on these biikes. Also handles wind lke nothing else ive owned, from BMW, Yamaha, Harley Baggers, even the new Goldwing. These bikes are iconic. Show less

I truly love what you've done with the Trike;I would feel so privileged n honored to have it n be able to ride it in parades and other fundraiser type events! I'm a veteran myself, took an early retirement under Clinton; hind site is 20/20, wish I'd stayed for 30 years! I just got offered 21,500 for my F150 with 85K miles; would 4SURE sale it for an opportunity to buy this Trike! But I'm sure it probably already has A PROUD New Owner by now!? God Bless you and God PLZ Bless America!! Show less

We're very happy with this motorcycle/trike. However, l would advise anyone considering buying a trike to absolutely. Test drive it 1st, & if they won't allow it. Then you should just walk away & continue w/ your search. Show less

I love my 05 Anniversary model, which I purchased used March, 2009 and it currently has 30k on it. The cremey-smooth engine loves to travel and remains all-around comfortable day-after-day. Only lack of adjustable ergo's (bars/pegs/seat) and want for about 20 more hp keep it from a perfect 5-star rating across-the-board. The handling is the true surprise! Ease of turn-in, steady tracking, and stellar manuverability due to sport-bike aluminum frame and low center-of-gravity (flat 6 design/engine placement) make this a true "sport-tourer" despite the luggage and large fairing. The only limitation is a rider's abilities! Nothing gone wrong in the first 30k. This is highly recommended. Show less
