Pros and Cons in comparison

Indian Pursuit Limited 2022

The new Indian Pursuit is a logical further development of the Indian Challenger. With the same engine, chassis and seating position, the Pursuit is also very agile and nimble. Only the 35 kilos of extra weight are noticeable in the end. However, the Pursuit also offers more features, not to mention a cargo space of 133 litres. For such a heavy cruiser, the Pursuit is very agile and manoeuvrable anyway. Only the front brake could be a little smoother. The high price is not really surprising in this class, but the most powerful V2 tourer in this class has a lot of prestige!

Very manageable for a heavy tourer

powerful PowerPlus engine with character

full comfort and extensive equipment

stable chassis

cornering ABS

lean angle-dependent traction control

three riding modes

Proud price

brake needs a lot of manual force

Honda GL 1800 Goldwing Tour DCT 2018

The new Honda Gold Wing Tour DCT 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 Tour is much more agile and sporty thanks to less weight and, above all, a new chassis. The DCT (Dual Clutch Transmission) is a perfect match for the Gold Wing Tour, especially the automated Econ level enriches the comfort immensely. The Sport mode is perhaps a little too sporty, but there is still no lack of comfort. The seating comfort and the wind protection are unique, the many features are simply marvellous - more is really not possible. Only in terms of storage space, the new Gold Wing Tour is 40 litres smaller than its predecessor.
