2011 Honda GL1800A Goldwing

Introduction

The Gold Wing continues its reign as the world’s most advanced and full-featured touring motorcycle. Along with impressive looks and long-haul power, it incorporates a range of advanced comfort and safety technologies.

Its unique fuel-injected flat-six engine is renowned for strong, reliable performance. Operating smoothly and quietly, it complements the broad, wind-deflecting fairing to create a relaxing ride experience. The motorcycle’s huge carrying capacity, luxurious finish and range of convenient features maximise touring enjoyment.

In spite of its considerable road presence, the Gold Wing is surprisingly easy to handle and is an agile performer in city traffic. This is achieved by a low centre of gravity, which enhances stability and gives a secure, balanced ride feel.

Confidence and comfort are enhanced by compliant suspension systems, featuring a computer-controlled adjustable pre-load damper. Powerful ABS* ensures confident braking, even in difficult circumstances. This exceptional touring machine is also fitted with a superb range of user-friendly equipment, including a premium audio system, a multi-function information centre, an integrated satellite navigation system and the Honda Motorcycle Airbag – the first one ever designed specifically for a motorcycle. Touring possibilities are maximised with adjustable heated handlebar grips and seats, plus a range of specially tailored optional luggage accessories.

* Supporting Honda’s ongoing commitment to the Road Safety Charter, ABS continues to be offered across our entire Touring range.
