GL1800 Goldwing
Hailed around the world as the ‘King of the Road’, the superbly engineered Gold Wing has won an enviable reputation as the rolling standard of touring luxury against which all other touring motorcycles are compared.
Its smoothly impressive six-cylinder engine performance, remarkably responsive yet neutral handling and unrivalled carrying capability all combine to create one of the most impressive, enjoyable and ultimately satisfying touring machines to traverse the highways of Australia and the world.
Constructed on a lightweight and rigid aluminium twin-spar frame designed to ensure a light and easy balance of handling, the Gold Wing receives its remarkable power from a strong, responsive and always reliable 1800cc fuel-injected flat-six engine that drives its rear wheel via a quiet, maintenance-free shaft drive system.
Braking confidence is ensured by Honda's peerless Dual Combined and Anti-lock Brake Systems, which work in seamless concert to ensure smooth, unruffled braking control over all the varying road surfaces the Gold Wing might encounter, while an extensive list of high-tech features such as its motor-assisted rear suspension adjustment, pushbutton electric reverse, cruise control, radio entertainment system and more combine to make long-distance trips aboard the Gold Wing an experience in luxury beyond the scope of anything else on two wheels.
