Intro

GL1800 Gold Wing Tour – 24YM

Honda’s luxurious Gold Wing Tour – a flagship completely reborn in 18YM – with radical weight reduction, double wishbone front suspension, brand-new, flat six-cylinder engine, glides into 24YM essentially unchanged. 

Model Overview

The Gold Wing Tour’s engine and chassis were designed in unison for the 18YM rebirth, to move the riding position forward and create a much more compact motorcycle. The aluminium beam frame is constructed around a double wishbone front fork, which allows the engine to sit forward in the machine – as the front wheel moves up and down in a more vertical plane – while providing high quality suspension control and front-end stability thanks to its stiffness and reduced friction. Suspension damping adjusts electrically.
