For the past 25 years the Honda Goldwing has been the platinum standard of touring and this motorbike doesn't disappoint.
The transmission is a five-speed unit and Honda has made the fifth gear an overdrive. The transmission is smooth and easy to shift plus the Goldwing has an electronic reverse gear to aid you with backing up, which will be appreciated when two up with luggage.
The Wing is a very large bike, but suprisingly the weight disappears as soon as you start moving, the seat is low enough for most to plant two flat feet on the ground and handling at low speeds is easy due to the well balanced design. It’s definitely a great bike with plenty of power, lots of storage and great for two up touring.
If you want to ride New Zealand in luxury choose the Honda Goldwing GL1800.
