Honda GL1800 Gold Wing

Given my background and my associated affinity for customised motorcycles, I expected the Indian, with its hulking great air-cooled vee-twin and classic styling, to be my favourite. So how did I come to like the Honda the most?

SMOOTHNESS PERSONIFIED

Honda has been making the Gold Wing since the first four-cylinder model way back in 1974. The bike we have here is the 2019 GL1800. Essentially, it’s a shaved-down, lighter, more practical version of the better known full Tour model.
