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.

Out of 19 motorcycles I've owned, the 2005 VTR1000 (also known as the Honda Superhawk 996) is the lightest, thinest, most powerful, best-handling, canyon carver I've ever ridden. I'm 6' 0", 185 lbs. For me, the forward-leaning riding position, with a Corbin seat is extremely comfortable. The stock front forks and a Olin rear shock work perfectly with all road conditions. It soaks up bumps like they are not there. The engine is used as part of the frame which makes the whole chassis very ridged so hard cornering is effortless, and fun. I've never ridden a bike that handles better than this Superhawk 996. The engine has so much torque that you can stay in fourth gear from 40 to 120 mph in the canyons with it red lining about 9,500 RPM. You can easily change the exhaust from low and slightly tilted up to high and exiting next to the license plate like the VTR race bikes. The unique radiator setup, one on each side of the bike, keep the engine temperature between 175 and 220 degrees, and keep the bike very thin and easily maneuverable. The gas tank is thin and small and only holds about 5 gallons so the refill interval is about 100 miles, not good for touring but just fine for short trips blasting through your favorite canyon.

Motorcycle with lots of power and fun to ride. Not as maneuverable as a dirt bike but still very capable on gravel roads and double tracks. I rode the Smokey Mountain 500 on this bike and had no problems crossing creeks or on the yellow loop. Some parts of the yellow loop were at the limit of my skills on this bike (muddy and rutted climb and single track section). Getting to the start of your off road adventure is a breeze. I have no problem with the fact that it has no traction control, you just have to control your wrist, that’s all the traction control you need.😂 Show less

Love riding this bike. It's a really comfortable bike to ride. Some days, I will ride through an entire tank and not be sore at the end of the tour. Big, heavy, and reliable. Love the classic, retro look of the bike, especially when I remove the windshield. Show less

This F700GS factory low was used primarily for long trips. Most of the mileage was on the road rather than in town local riding. Owner is a MSF RiderCoach so the bike has had a good life. The bike was always garaged, factory maintenance was done on time and T-CLOCS was done before every ride. The included equipment makes it ready for any trip or adventure. Show less

I loved the comfort and security she gave me. The stereo system never kept me bored on a ride. I always got compliments on the color as well as the lights installed underneath. It is truly a smooth comfortable ride for both rider and passenger. Show less

I have not ridden this bike very much. Most of my riding has been on pavement and very little off-road. However, I had a lot of fun going places and getting to know the bike. What impressed me was how smooth the bike rides were and the power it had when needed. I enjoyed the bike while I had it, but now that I am moving across the US, I have no way to take it with me.

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
