"The Honda GL1800 Goldwing is the kitchen sink, bells and whistles touring motorcycle.

Evolved from the late 70s GL1000 into the current intergalactic cruiser incarnation. Plus there's a huge social scene of Honda GL1800 Goldwing owners too." Motorcylenews.com

For consignment, a 2003 Honda GLX 1800 Goldwing showing 4,849 miles, but the true miles are unknown. This is a garage kept example with a six cylinder engine and 118 horsepower.

Exterior
Bold and black, the large front fairing on the bike contains sizable dual headlights flanking and intake duct under the windshield, and turn signals are integrated into hand guards. The front fender is an artful combination of black wheel covers and metallic trim that matches the front forks, all capping off the 18-inch wheel. Behind it, fog lights are housed in argent casing under just beyond the air ducts on the lower part of the fairing. Leather bucket seats, stacked and adorned with low backrests fall in line and create a sizable perch for both passenger and driver, with armrests doing double duty as speakers in the back. In back, both the upper case and side saddle style hard cases have tail lights, a third brake light, and integrated turn signals providing car-like visibility to other travelers on the road. Beautiful chrome pipes are as much part of the mechanics as they are aesthetics. Imperfections include some oxidation on the wheels, several dings and dents on the bottom and exhaust covers, and scuffs in those locations as well.

Functionality
More car-like qualities are found in the instrument cluster which could have been lifted from your average Accord, large, round and readable and including an electronic read out screen. The sound panel includes options for AM, FM, CD, Aux, and CB/intercom systems, displayed in large illuminated buttons. Cruise control switches are on the right handle while lights, horn, and sound system controls yield to your left thumb. Headlights and foglights have their own panel on the left side and a hazard switch is included. Two antennas flank the rear cargo hold.

Drivetrain
A liquid cooled 1832cc opposed six cylinder is on board with electronic fuel injection and a 5-speed manual transmission that includes reverse as a 6th gear. It has an electric starter, a hydraulic clutch, and is shaft driven. Disc brakes are found on the front and back wheels. Suspension consists of hydraulic telescoping forks in front and a swing arm in the rear.

Motorcyclistonline wrote, "Stellar acceleration, superb handling, and a long list of options make the Goldwing a viable preowned touring option. Honda didn't invent motorcycle touring, but its Goldwing series probably introduced more American riders to the joys of crossing several state lines between breakfast and dinner than any other make or model.". Here's a very nice example ready to hit the road!
