Honda Goldwing GL1800 - first all new Goldwing in 13 years
Good video briefly telling where the current Goldwing came from, it’s heritage, and where it could be going. I immensely enjoy this video

Try the latest Triumph Rocket 3 then with 2458cc 3 cylinder

Wow, that probably has scary torque and power. Nice looking design though.clutchcargo wrote: ↑Sun Dec 27, 2020 9:04 amTry the latest Triumph Rocket 3 then with 2458cc 3 cylinder

Putting 1.8L and 2.5L engines in two-wheeled vehicles is just ludicrous. There were enough 1000cc bikes taking their owners with them into the great beyond. Not to mention dozens of new Ferrari owners smashing their million-dollar cars to bits. Just Google "new ferrari owner crashes car." Money doesn't beget brains. Anyway, advice and deaf ears. blah blah . . .

That said, the Gold Wing does have a good reputation for long-distance rides.

It's about low speed torque.
Those 1000cc bikes have to scream up to 14000rpm to make power.
1800cc will pull the side of a house down at 2000rpm and last longer

Have you ever ridden one of those bikes?
Unless you’re pulling a trailer that much low speed torque isn’t needed. That’s what gears are for.
Don’t listen to Chinese whispers.

I have. And they have around 180nm of torque.
About twice as much as a Ford Focus, by way of example.
Yet low hp to engine cubic capacity at just 118hp.
It's all about the torque.
