Honda GL1800 Gold Wing Tour 2022

According to Honda Motorcycles

The Gold Wing Tour is a Honda flagship motorcycle for a reason, offering supreme levels of performance and luxury through the city, or out on the open road. Taking the incredible Gold Wing as a base, it adds carrying capacity, with the rear top box now expanded to a full 61L. A more relaxed angle for the pillion back support – and luxurious new material for both front and rear seats – ensure a cocoon of riding comfort. The audio system and speakers are newly upgraded and generate vivid sound quality. Dual LED fog lights guarantee piercing visibility. And, uniquely, you can specify an airbag with your Gold Wing Tour.

The Gold Wing Tour takes care of rider and pillion alike.

It has to, because riding together should be a voyage of shared discovery, and a pleasure. With dynamic handling and engine response to satisfy any rider, the pillion can settle back into their luxurious and even more expansive space and enjoy the performance ahead.

They can also easily open each pannier to access contents while seated and there’s also an accessory audio switch (located on the right pannier) for soundtrack control. A USB socket in the left pannier offers a smartphone charging point. For added convenience, especially with a pillion, the Gold Wing comes equipped with two walking modes – forwards and backwards – which is ideal for parking.

Just like the Gold Wing, the Gold Wing Tour is a motorcycle built to handle curves. Its die-cast, aluminium twin-beam frame leads with double wishbone front suspension, while electronic damping control provides precise suspension reaction. And then there’s the engine. A 1,833cc, flat six-cylinder masterpiece delivering 170Nm torque at just 4,500rpm. It’s what a throttle hand is made for and, along with Honda Selectable Torque Control, is one of the world’s most impressive, usable and enjoyable motorcycle powerplants. Put the two together and the Gold Wing Tour riding experience goes beyond next level.
