Honda GL 1800 Goldwing Tour DCT 2019

At the beginning of this test, I asked myself whether the relaxed Honda Gold Wing Tour DCT could also arouse enthusiasm in a young biker like me. The answer: a resounding yes! It is an absolute technology leader in the motorbike world, because apart from cornering ABS, you will find everything on it that is conceivable on a two-wheeler. In addition, it triggers a deep feeling of relaxation during the ride, when you hardly feel any bumps in the road thanks to the sophisticated suspension and the powerful six-cylinder engine still pushes with plenty of torque even in sixth gear. It inspires with its combination of intelligent technology combined with perfect workmanship and absolute feel-good atmosphere - on long tours and in everyday life.
