2010 Honda GL1800 Gold Wing
 
 
Introduction
With its distinctive good looks, unique
flat-six engine and advanced comfort and safety technologies
the Gold Wing still reigns as the world’s most
advanced and full-featured touring motorcycle. This
year the ‘King of the Road’ is offered
in three beautiful new colours that emphasise its
sophistication.
The quick-starting fuel-injected Gold
Wing engine is renowned for its long-haul power and
strong performance. The motorcycle’s huge carrying
capacity and luxurious ride quality make touring smooth
and
easy. Its quiet operation and the broad, wind-deflecting
fairing together create a serene, relaxed ride.
The compliant suspension systems feature
a computer-controlled adjustable pre-load damper while
the powerful ABS* ensures confident braking, even
in difficult circumstances. In spite of its considerable
road presence, the Gold Wing handles with light manoeuvrability,
making it 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.
This exceptional tourer’s user-friendly equipment
includes a premium audio system, a multi-function
information centre and, on the Deluxe version, an
integrated satellite navigation system.
The Deluxe version also incorporates
the Honda Motorcycle Airbag system, the first 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.
