Honda has set out to change the world of cycle touring with the release of the Gold Wing GL1800. There is little doubt that they have succeeded with this bike in a number of ways based on both the mechanical and the technological performance of the Gold Wing. Comfort is one of the primary attractive qualities to keep riders on this bike across countrysides all over the world. The redesigned chassis, integrated storage for luggage, and innovative body work are just a few elements that have allowed the Gold Wing to sweeten over time.
The engineering Honda maintains that is superior to all other automotive companies in today’s market is evident in this bike. There is much more power packed into the Gold Wing than in any other bike that falls into its class. Thanks to a bigger engine and additional cylinders, the Gold Wing moves you like no other machine designed for touring on two wheels. It has been drawing riders to Honda since 1975. In 2015, the attraction to this model has only grown in scope. The torque pours onto the road, and its handling is outstanding at both high and low speeds. It is no wonder that there is no other touring bike on the market that has maintained this kind of presence throughout Europe and other major countries for such a long time. The GL1800 comes with an engine that sips on gas while taking you across both city and highway roads.
The new engine is liquid-cooled and offers you control of 1832cc. The horizontally-opposed, six-cylinder engine comes with electric reverse and smart cruise control. For a base MSRP of only $23,999, it is virtually a steal as far as cruising bikes of this caliber are concerned. The technology that is put on board this cruiser is uniquely adapted to make long-distance travel as pleasurable as possible. Trips planned on your tablet or home computer can easily be uploaded to the navigation system for instant access on the road. Additionally, your plans can be shared with friends and family through various networking options as well. Among the other strong features of the integrated navigation technology are lane-guidance views and a dedicated, GPS receiver.

One of the major strengths of the bike is the raw amount of technology that is dedicated to comfort, entertainment, and convenience. Although the interface for using all of the features does not utilize the most intuitive architecture, the lineup is impressive nonetheless. XM radio, NavWeather, and the AudioComfort System just scratch the surface of the offerings made by the Gold Wing. There are plenty of other luxuries that set this bike apart as well. It features clear-coated wheels that enhance the total performance in addition to making cleaning a much easier task.
The styling cuts no corners either. The fully-integrated appearance of the 2015 model features blacked-out trim, an air-intake system with a total facelift, and a headlight garnish with modern sensibilities. In terms of safety, riders can certainly feel at ease with this Honda. They have the advantage of combined ABS, a tire-pressure monitoring system, and the industry’s leading design for cruising airbags.
