Honda Touring Bike reviews

Best bike I’ve owned to date all around, for handling, reliability, comfort and room to carry travel gear for two. Also, hands down the best bike to handle high cross winds safely. I’ve owned or currently own BMW, Yamaha, Harley Ultra Classics, Road Glides, and currently also own a 2018 Goldwing, and none compare to the ‘05 for a completely well rounded motorcycle. 43 MPG if you stay 78 or under. Push it over 80, it drinks a little more. Show less

I bought this bike to race as a motor cross bike to compete with 250s. It needed a top end when I bought it and I thought it was best to replace both the top and bottom. I added a few upgrades to it and this bike is incredible. The powerband hits like nothing else and it is so quick. Pulls the wheel off the ground every gear. If you can find one in this day and age for a good price, get one. It’s worth it. It’s a whole new riding experience. 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

This 1990 is my 2nd GL1500SE (3rd if you count the 2000 Valkyrie). I recently bought this '90 after selling my 2009 Gl1800 Airbag edition. Why? Like lots of other wing riders, I realized I prefer the 1500. The engine is carbureted but immediately responsive with lots of grunt and smooth as silk. Regular maintenance isn't a chore, though I did change the timing belts due to the age of the machine. Room? All kinds, including storage for 2 helmets in the trunk. I owned a 2000SE for 6 years and sold it, buying the 1800. Nice bike, but a few years later I went back to a 1500 because as a tourer -- even your every day go to work ride, the 1500 can't be beat. Turn the key. Go. It's reliable and built to outlast most. and it does it with far more maneuverability than you'd think. Show less

This has been my baby since I bought it new. Great ride and has had TLC!!! Rides smooth and comfortable down the road. Love the bike just can’t ride any more due to age. This will make a great ride for someone who enjoys the open road. Needs a good home. 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

This bike holds true to the Honda brand reliability. When my other bikes were needing special fuel or significant repairs this one was very reliable needing only basic maintenance. It always started without hesitation and the exhaust purrs proudly without bring obnoxiously loud. The wind shield is positioned just right so the noise and pressure flow over your Helmut while allowing a cooling current to pass around your body, very comfortable. This machine has been well maintained and always kept in a garage. It should provide many more years of fun and excitement across your roads of adventure. Let's get out there! Show less

If you own one, your lucky!! Don't get rid of it. I have a 2004 R model with 95,000 miles on her. Noisy as hell warming up but she runs like glass after. Driveshaft makes for very little bike vibration I generally drive five to ten mph over the speed limit. Once I had to pass a line of cars on hwy 95 in Nevada and after getting by them I looked at the speedometer and I was at 120. Took two seconds to attain it. Very smooth amazing bike. Show less
