2002 Honda GL1800S Gold Wing
Summary:
This is the best toy I have ever bought, and the most durable
Faults:
Headlights remained off after cranking, because the starter switch needed lubricant to fully release.
General Comments:
I tried a different brand tire each time I replaced them, and found Metzler to improve the handling characteristics dramatically. The bike was more responsive in tight turns and curvy roads.
The low mounted engine makes this a good bike for mountain riding, as it is not top heavy and handles well in the sharp curves. And the EFI system handles the different altitudes with no problem.
I put 6,538 miles in a coast to coast and back trip in 14 days, and had no problems at all.
Would you buy another motorcycle from this manufacturer? Yes
