Honda Gold Wing (GL1800) reviews

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

Good reliable motorcycle. Last 300,00 miles. They are carbureted so they need tune ups. They are quick on take off and are fairly quiet . They have cab radios and am/ fm cassette players . The SE comes with air shocks and an on board compressor. It also has reverse. 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

20 years ago I would not be “caught “dead” on any scooter. However, with the passage of time, my body has developed mobility issues (if you can’t raise your leg, you can’t run with the big dogs). Therefore, I find myself in the position of either a scooter or nothing. I chose a scooter. After checking out a 650cc, two different 400 cc and a 600 cc scooter, I decided the most appropriate scooter for me was a Honda SilverWing 600 cc (actually 582 cc) so I purchased the nicest one I could find. My son and I put over 300 miles on this highway capable machine and I am very happy with my purchase. If you are considering any scooter of any size, I suggest checking out the Honda SilverWing last and determine which machine best suits yourself! Lloyd Mason 217 737-5507 Show less

I am this bike's one-owner who bought my Gold Wing for my birthday. I loaded it up with every option available including an airbag, navigation and fog lights. Huntington Beach Honda dealership has all the service records since the purchase on Feb 2013. It's been housed in my carpeted-garage and considered by me a work-of-art. It has plenty of SOUL and has therefore my greatest respect. I named my bike Brutus and we talk after every ride. We've been through snow, ice, sleet, rain and Brutus is still in impeccable condition. If you won't take care of Brutus, please don't buy him. I've ridden both Harleys and BMW touring bikes in the past. Then I chatted with my Newport Beach motor-Cop neighbor who said I'm an idiot if I don't buy a Gold Wing. After a demo, I knew he was right, so I bought it. What convinced me is the well-balanced, easy to operate amazing ride and the power-reverse to get it in my garage. It is water-cooled to get me through the desert with power to get me up the Colorado Rockies. An imposing motorcycle has its advantages. Drivers can see me and I have the power of 6-cylinders to get out of their way. And don't discount the airbag's value. It will make your spouse and family members happy to know you've got it. Speaking of family, there is no motorcycle on the planet that is more comfortable for passengers! No contest. An unhappy passenger can be a miserable experience for you. Give them what they deserve, an amazing, safe and solid ride. 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

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

Great road trip bike. We have traveled extensively in the US and Canada prior to the Covid pandemic. Our trips were on a 2012 Goldwing and a 2009 Goldwing. Comfort and reliability were our favorite attributes of the Goldwing bikes. We have owned Goldwings since 2002 and have been blessed with perfect trips on each of our long road trips. Our average trip was 3000 miles and we never had a breakdown. We cannot say that for our friends that were on different brands of bikes. For comfort and reliability we definitely recommend all Goldwing 1800's. Show less

Once you get the Goldwing upright and rolling You won't believe the way it handles! To be more precise, it handles like a dream with power to spare. It is truly the last bike you need. I loved the way the bike did everything I needed and more. The bike is smooth, quiet and sails along effortlessly. Although a bit of a monster at slow speeds, once underway the bike seems to move with the grace of a race horse at full gallop. The GW seems more like a limousine than a motorcycle. The seat is much comfortable than any other cruiser. You ride for 5 hours and you still keep up. This has been the best bike I have ever ridden. I was surprised with the speed Show less
