The Honda Gold Wing GL1800 – touring flagship with DCT in Zurich, accessories and custom

Honda Goldwing GL 1800 at a glance – touring flagship with DCT and walking mode

The Honda Gold Wing has set the standard among touring motorcycles for decades: 1,833 cc, 93 kW and a DCT gearbox with walking mode that even helps you out of the garage. All four versions are available at our showroom in Volketswil ZH – together with accessories, custom work and servicing from our own workshop.

1Technology & data

Engine, gearbox and the confirmed data of the Honda Gold Wing

Honda Goldwing engine – 1,833 cc and 93 kW

The six that defined the class

The Honda Gold Wing GL 1800 runs 1,833 cc and produces 93 kW. Few touring machines offer this combination: ample power for two people and luggage, delivered so smoothly that long stages pass almost unnoticed.

Drive is through the DCT dual-clutch gearbox with walking mode. That last feature is the one Gold Wing riders mention first: moving a motorcycle of this size out of the garage is no longer a matter of brute force.

The seat height is 745 mm – lower than on many adventure bikes, which makes putting your feet down at the lights considerably easier. The Gold Wing is ridden on a category A licence.

Workshop and servicing

Honda Dream Dealer in Volketswil

As a Honda Dream Dealer we service the Gold Wing with genuine parts and Honda diagnostics – DCT, brakes, tyres, roadworthiness preparation and winter storage.

Custom work does not affect registration or warranty as long as the parts are approved. That is exactly what we watch when selecting them – and we document the work.

FAQ accessories, custom & workshop

What is possible on the Gold Wing

The most requested are top boxes and panniers, a tow hitch, comfort seats, LED lighting, crash bars and screens in various heights. We fit Honda genuine accessories.

Yes, it is one of the most common additions. Approval matters – we clarify in advance what has to be registered and fit it properly.

Yes – GL 1000, GL 1100, GL 1200, GL 1500 and earlier GL 1800 machines, as well as F6B, F6C and Valkyrie. Spare parts are ordered through the Honda parts service where still available.

That depends on the scope. We provide an estimate in advance – contact us through our workshop page or by phone.

It is covered by the regular service schedule. We check it at every service and load current software where needed.

When Honda genuine accessories are fitted properly by us, the factory warranty stays in place. It can be extended to up to 72 months with no mileage limit.

5Ideal uses

Where the Honda Gold Wing plays to its strengths

Ideal uses for the Honda Gold Wing

The long journey, two-up, over passes and motorways

The multi-day journey for two is its speciality. Storage, wind protection and the calm delivery of power mean the passenger still steps off relaxed after 400 kilometres.

Alpine passes are handled more calmly than the size suggests – the low 745 mm seat and the DCT take the tension out of hairpins, because there is no clutch and no shifting to think about.

On the motorway its comfort comes into its own: good wind protection, audio system and navigation on board.

If you are coming from a car, the Gold Wing is the motorcycle that comes closest to familiar touring comfort – with the difference that you ride in the landscape rather than behind glass.

FAQ ideal uses

Does the Gold Wing suit your riding?

No. The low 745 mm seat and the DCT make hairpins more relaxed than you would expect – best to try it.

That is exactly what it is built for: storage, wind protection and pillion comfort are among its greatest strengths.

With a registered tow hitch this is a popular solution for the big trip. We clarify approval and fit it properly.

It requires category A and respect for the weight. The DCT removes a lot of the tension – we also recommend a safety training course before the first long tour.

For longer runs, yes. In tight city centres a smaller machine is handier – but walking mode takes the strain out of exactly those situations that would otherwise be awkward.

Yes, we offer winter storage – including battery care and a check before the new season.

6DCT & riding

Automatic, walking mode and how it feels day to day

Honda DCT in the Gold Wing – automatic without a clutch lever

Why many riders will not go back after the first outing

The DCT dual-clutch gearbox shifts by itself – no clutch lever, no gear lever. On a mountain road that means your left hand is free, your eyes stay in the corner, and in traffic the constant clutch work simply disappears.

Then there is walking mode. Reversing a machine of this size out of a slightly uphill driveway is hard work without help – with it, a matter of seconds. For many customers this is the feature that settles the decision.

How it feels is settled faster by a test ride than by any road test. We charge a contribution towards costs, which is credited to you when you buy.

FAQ DCT & riding

Running costs, servicing and resale

A dual-clutch gearbox that changes gear by itself – without a clutch lever. You can take over gear selection yourself whenever you want.

It has walking mode, which moves the machine slowly forwards and backwards – a real difference when parking and in the garage.

Intervals depend on mileage and age. We record them in the service book and remind you in good time – appointments through our workshop.

The factory warranty can be extended to up to 72 months with no mileage limit.

Well-kept Gold Wings are sought after and traditionally hold their value. A complete service history and genuine accessories both tell – and we will take your machine in part exchange.

Yes, through Honda Bank on attractive terms – see leasing and finance. Calculate your leasing rate with the leasing and financing calculator, review the requirements for leasing and submit your financing request via the form.

7Comparison

Gold Wing, NT1100 and Africa Twin – which tourer fits?

The Gold Wing compared with the other Honda touring models

They all stand side by side in our showroom

Comparison is easier when the machines are next to one another – and the difference between a sports tourer and the Gold Wing is obvious the moment you sit on them.

ModelDisplacementIn short
Honda Gold Wing GL 18001,833 ccThe benchmark for long journeys two-up, with DCT and walking mode
Honda NT11001,084 ccThe lighter sports tourer, more agile and cheaper to run
Africa Twin CRF1100L1,084 ccAdventure bike for tarmac and gravel, taller riding position

Current prices are shown on each machine in the list on this page and in its detail view.

FAQ comparison

Which touring motorcycle suits you?

The NT1100 is lighter and more agile, the Gold Wing offers more comfort and storage for long journeys two-up. If you ride mostly alone and briskly, the NT serves you well.

The Africa Twin is the adventure bike with a tall riding position, gravel included. The Gold Wing is the tarmac tourer with far greater comfort.

Because it comes close to the touring comfort of a car while you ride in the landscape rather than behind glass – with navigation, audio and storage on board.

Above all the combination of DCT with walking mode, the low 745 mm seat height and a touring concept refined over decades.

Riders coming from a GL 1500 or an early GL 1800 notice the difference above all in the DCT and in how the weight carries. Bring your machine along – we will take it in part exchange.

Yes, and we encourage it. Let us know beforehand and we will have the machines ready.

8Riding courses

Riding technique for Gold Wing riders

Courses and training for Gold Wing riders

Control comes from technique, not from power

What decides a tight moment is rarely the engine. Braking on a wet surface, swerving in traffic, where you look through a bend – that is what keeps you upright. More speed and more lean never come from more courage or more risk, but from better coordination, clean timing and precise vision. Anyone riding faster than their technique allows will come off sooner or later.

The best place to train that is away from public roads. Off road the surface is uneven and loose and speeds are lower – which widens the time window for every input and lets you work near the limit with far less danger than on tarmac. A light, agile machine forgives far more mistakes. Once the technique is there, you carry it across to your own Gold Wing.

Courses and training dates are run by the MX-Academy. Participants are split into groups and analysed individually. The school is run by Chris Möckli, a two-time European champion; it is supported by Honda Switzerland and has the Honda off-road models on site. You are welcome to bring your own machine.
