2018 Honda reviews

The bike is a 1000cc bike so it is very fun to use. the power is thrilling, the looks of the bike are awesome. the sound the bike makes is also very nice. its a sport bike so obviously its going to get a little uncomfortable if you ride for long periods of time but riding down to Miami a few times from west palm and its decent. No complaints. if you ever need to get out of a close call situation, the bike has enough torque and agility to get you out of it pretty quickly. i had a Ninja 650 before and this is just a completely different beast. you'll definitely have fun with it.

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.

This bike is amazing! If you don't like talking to people, this isn't the bike for you... people will ask you about it anywhere you stop :) Not only is it great offroad, but it's great for touring too, which is how I primarily used it. I have pics of it at the Tail of the Dragon, Back of the Dragon, in WV, NC, OH, etc... The suspension and wind protection on the highway are great. The bike has the power to cruise at 80mph without trying, and the Seat Concepts seat is fantastic for long hauls. Don't get me wrong - it will go offroad like a bikes half the size. I took an offroad riding certification course on it and was blown away by what this bike can do. It has so much low down torque, that you really have to try to stall it. And the course instructor was on an Africa Twin too :) Show less

Very well priced bike with a ton of features and the quality of the premium brands (BMW/Duccati). This is the most comfortable long ride motorcycle I have tested, among others BMW, Ducatti, Harley, Kawasaki, both cruisers and dual sports. The Adventure Sports model is extremely gorgeous and its presence is impressive. It calls for attention everywhere I go, even from Harley fanboys aha. I have tested the DCT model of this bike but it gets very boring very fast. Most folks I know prefer the manual mode, even because it is more responsive on traffic. I have ridden the AT model for 5 years and not a single mechanical issue. The engine is very reliable because of its low compression ratio. The engine sound even with stock exhaust is remarkably likeable and somewhat loud. I did not feel the need for an aftermarket exhaust. The engine power is immense 97HP for a bike this light (520lb) but it feels very balanced and secure due to the electronic delivery modes, which provide dozens of different combinations of configuration. Due to the tall position, it is the perfect bike if you are exploring a region as your head will be usually above most passenger vehicles. Although it is a tall bike, the seat is not that high up. I am 5'10" and I can plant my feet on the floor with the seat in low position. The center stand is a must have for maintenance. The bike comes with a built-in 12V socket that you can use to power your USB devices and phone. Overall fantastic motorcycle for the price. I don't see any competition in this price range. Show less

Excellent bike. No complaints other than I'd like to have a little more power now. Show less
