Honda Gl1800 Goldwing
The Honda Gl1800 Goldwing has a top speed of 180 km/h (electronically limited; estimated), produces 126 hp and weighs 383 kg. Motoryk rates it 9/10.
La Honda GL1800 Gold Wing se presentó en 2001 como una evolución significativa del legendario linaje de turismo Gold Wing que comenzó con la GL1000 en 1975. Presentaba un motor bóxer de seis cilindros de 1.832 cc más grande, electrónica avanzada y una comodidad líder en su clase, lo que consolidó su posición como la motocicleta de turismo de lujo de referencia. En 2018 se llevó a cabo un importante rediseño, con la introducción de un nuevo cuadro de aluminio, la opción DCT, la integración con Apple CarPlay y un airbag opcional, lo que la hizo más ligera y tecnológicamente avanzada que nunca.

Lo que los compradores deben saber
Exceptional Long-Term Reliability
The GL1800 is renowned for lasting 200,000+ miles with proper maintenance, making it one of the most dependable touring bikes ever built. Honda's flat-six engine rarely suffers major failures when oil changes are kept current.
Watch for Stator Issues
Early 2001-2005 models are known for stator and regulator/rectifier failures, which can leave you stranded and cost $300-$600 to repair. Always check charging system voltage on pre-owned models before buying.
Strong Resale Value
GoldWings hold their value exceptionally well compared to other touring motorcycles, often retaining 60-70% of their value after five years. The 2018+ DCT (dual-clutch transmission) models command a noticeable premium on the used market.

"La última palabra en cuanto a comodidad en las dos ruedas de larga distancia."
Después de 40 000 kilómetros con mi ala de 2004, puedo decir que la moto flat six es realmente adictiva: se mueve al ralentí como una locomotora diésel y nunca se siente tensa al conducir por carretera, incluso con el maletero cargado y un pasajero. El chasis de aluminio del antiguo chasis de la GL1500 supuso un auténtico paso adelante; de hecho, cambia de dirección con algún propósito, lo que suena absurdo para una máquina de 363 kg hasta que no se monta en una y se nota lo baja que es esa masa. Lo que realmente frustra es la conducción urbana: filtrarse entre el tráfico urbano es un ejercicio sudoroso y engorroso de gestión de la anchura, y la marcha atrás, por muy inteligente que sea, te cuenta todo sobre cómo Honda sabía que era demasiado pesada para manipularla en un punto muerto. El ahorro de combustible es aceptable, entre 18 y 20 l/100 km si lo conduces como se merece, pero el estéreo te seducirá para que lo trates como una sala de estar rodante, lo que solo hará que pedalees más tiempo.

Reseña de un comprador usado
"The used bike market's most sensible luxury touring purchase, full stop."
$8,000-$18,000 usedThe GL1800 is genuinely one of the finest motorcycles ever built, and buying one used is one of the smartest moves in motorcycling. Honda engineered this thing to last forever — find a well-maintained example and you're looking at a bike that'll absorb interstate miles with zero drama. The 1800cc flat-six is silky smooth, the integrated luggage swallows a week's worth of gear, and the audio system actually works at highway speeds. Don't let the 833-pound wet weight intimidate you on paper; it carries low and surprisingly well once you're rolling. That said, do your homework before handing over cash. Check the tire age regardless of tread depth — these bikes sit in garages. Inspect the lower fairing panels for parking lot tip-over damage, because dropping a Wing is embarrassingly easy at standstill. Early 2001-2005 examples can show alternator issues, so get a battery and charging system test done. Budget for fresh tires immediately — non-negotiable.
