High-tech is so ephemeral: What today can be controlled using a multi-turn wheel on luxury-class bikes is still done with umpteen buttons on the original GL-1800.

Furniture van, fitted kitchen on wheels, living room on the move. There is no shortage of derisive remarks about Honda’s king-size tourers Gold wing GL 1800. But the good thing about it: Anyone who has made friends with the 402-kilo steamer will let these comments drain easily. The real fan of Honda’s six-cylinder hum is loosely above it all. Especially since, unlike some scoffers, he turns out to be a motorcyclist through and through. Someone who eats kilometers without stopping or who doesn’t make the trip dependent on the weather. Supporting documents? Just click once through the offers of used bikes on the Internet or Gold Wing experts like Fuchs in Uslar, Lower Saxony (see market situation): On average, the majority of Gold Wings are moved up to 15,000 kilometers per year.

Which also makes it clear which drawer the Honda Gold Wing GL 1800 belongs in. She wants to score with maximum comfort when touring. Starting with their bubbling boxer engine, which is mainly about full thrust from below and shifting lazy driving. And that spoils you with a silky smooth run. Vibrations? A foreign word! The straight six of the competing model from BMW (K 1600 GT / L) tingles a lot by comparison – but it can also shine with a significantly more sporty performance. However, this is not the world of the Gold Wing. With her on board you can feel that conceptually she comes from a completely different time. It wants to offer its passengers an escape from an increasingly stressful everyday life as pleasantly and discreetly as possible. But that is exactly what makes it so attractive today.

US import or regularly built for the German market? A question that interested parties should clarify over the phone. On the one hand, to explore the scope for price negotiations (USA models cheaper), on the other hand, to be prepared for possible restrictions (mileage, temperature in Fahrenheit, radio function). On the other hand, the US wings are already equipped with much more luxurious equipment than the German models, some of which have been painted with a red pen (no rear speakers, etc.).
Despite the luxury class, the Honda Gold Wing GL 1800 did not take off without any problems. Why buyers should clarify whether all recall campaigns (welded seams of the frame support, brake force control valve, secondary master brake cylinder) have been carried out. It is an advantage if a clear history is documented via the complete checkbook. The universal joint of the cardan is considered to be vulnerable: check for wear and play!
Market situation
Those interested in the Honda Gold Wing GL 1800 must have one thing above all else when searching: patience. With almost 3800 sales since the model launch in 2001, the presence in the motorcycle scene is correspondingly manageable – although the number of new sales must of course be seen in relation to the previous purchase price, which has now passed the 30,000 euro hurdle. In the Schwacke list, the 1800 Gold Wing is generally quoted lower than it is actually traded. It is clearly a collector’s item for which appropriate prices are called.
In addition, a number of types have been upgraded with all kinds of accessory packages, which are also added to the basic price. A neat Honda Gold Wing GL 1800 is very difficult to get for less than 10,000 euros. And if so, then in the early years of construction (2001/2002) there is usually a six-digit mileage on the clock. The majority of the offers come from dealers. Biker’s Point in Uslar (Tel. 055 71/912092) is an institution – or rather an adventure world – when it comes to Gold Wing, www.goldwing.de).
