Honda GL 1800 Goldwing 2019

Honda GL 1800 Goldwing 2019

The new Honda Gold Wing is a big hit, both in terms of equipment and riding dynamics. The engine remains a wonderfully smooth six-cylinder boxer that still finds its purpose in sovereignty from the bottom up. Nevertheless, the Gold Wing is much more agile and sporty thanks to less weight and, above all, a new chassis. Nevertheless, there is no lack of comfort, the seat is wonderfully comfortable, the wind protection is sufficient due to the somewhat lower windshield - but it is good for the looks. The Gold Wing Tour models have a higher windshield and top case anyway. Theoretically, the Gold Wing can be upgraded to a Gold Wing Tour with a top case and higher windshield, but then the traction control is missing, which is standard on the Gold Wing Tour and Gold Wing Tour DCT.

Ducati Multistrada V4 S Grand Tour 2024

Ducati Multistrada V4 S Grand Tour 2024

In numerous tests, the Multistrada has had to hold its own against many opponents on extremely versatile terrain and has usually been the fastest and overall best motorbike. With the V4 S Grand Tour, Ducati now packs all the high-tech features as standard and adds sensible upgrades to the model in terms of temperature management. A touring enduro can't get much better - and not much more expensive either.
