The GoldWing GL1800 sports a formidable 1832cc, six-cylinder boxer engine which generates 118hp at 5500rpm and 123ftlbs of torque at 4000rpm. This is a serious motor. This is wonderfully complemented by excellent handling: The steering is nice and neutral, and the bike’s near-800lb mass actually feels light. But comfort is also essential for touring, and the GoldWing does not disappoint. The seat is incredibly comfortable, the reach to the ground is quite reasonable, and the pegs are nice and low. The wind protection is customizable, with an adjustable screen and jumbo fairing. And with 33gal of storage space, you can take almost anything you need on your marathon tour.
