The Gold Wing is a touring motorcycle built by Honda. The 1500cc version was first offered for sale in 1988 and was replaced by the GL 1800 in 2001. The GL 1500 Gold Wing came with fixed hard saddlebags and a comfortable passenger backrest for luxury touring.
Engine and Weight

Due to this added weight, the five-speed transmission also boasted a reverse gear.
