Heres a detailed look at the 2018 Honda Gold Wing 1800 Tour:

Key Features and Specifications:

Engine: 1,833cc liquid-cooled horizontally opposed six-cylinder. This new engine was made more compact and lighter than the previous generation.
Power: Around 125 hp at 5,500 rpm.
Torque: Approximately 170 Nm (125 lb-ft) at 4,500 rpm.
Transmission: Available with either a 6-speed manual transmission (with electric reverse) or a 7-speed automatic Dual Clutch Transmission (DCT) with Walking Mode (forward and reverse). The DCT offers three modes: MT (manual), D (automatic for city and highway), and S (sportier automatic).
Weight Reduction: Honda significantly reduced the weight compared to the previous model, claiming a loss of around 90 lbs (approximately 41 kg) for the Tour model. The curb weight is around 833 lbs (378 kg).
Chassis: A new, lighter die-cast aluminum frame provides increased rigidity.
Front Suspension: A major change is the adoption of a double-wishbone front suspension system. This design separates the suspension and steering functions, leading to improved ride comfort, reduced dive during braking, and more precise handling. The front wheel travels vertically, allowing the engine to be positioned further forward for better weight distribution.
Rear Suspension: Pro-Link system with a Showa shock absorber. The Tour models feature electronically adjustable rear preload.
Brakes: Electronically controlled combined ABS (C-ABS) with dual radial-mounted six-piston Nissin calipers on 320mm front rotors and a single three-piston Nissin caliper on a 316mm rear rotor.
