Pros and Cons in comparison
Honda GL 1800 Goldwing 2021
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.
BMW R 18 B 2022
The R 18 B differs from the normal, naked R 18 only by a simple B, but it opens up a much wider spectrum of usability. With the wide fairing and the side panniers, even longer distances are on the agenda and are also a lot of fun thanks to the comfortable seating position. The engine, described by BMW as a "big boxer", is a blast and the chassis can be described as quite good-natured and precise. Only the brakes could be a little sharper, but they are by no means bad. The electronics and, above all, the Marshall music system are top-notch.
