Positioned in Honda's touring motorcycle lineup, the 2022 Honda GL 1800 Gold Wing Tour DCT features a 1833 cc (111.9 cu in) liquid-cooled six cylinder boxer, four-stroke configuration. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 124.7 HP (91 kW) at 5,500 rpm while maximum torque reaches 170 Nm (125.4 lb-ft) at 4,500 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 7-speed gearbox and shaft drive (cardan) final drive. With a specific output of 68 HP per liter and a 1,000 rpm working window between peak torque (4,500 rpm) and peak power (5,500 rpm), the engine character is indicating a tractable, stress-free state of tune focused on everyday usability and broad torque delivery.
On the scales, the GL 1800 Gold Wing Tour DCT measures 367 kg (809 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.34 HP/kg (2.94 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 744 mm (29.3 in) seat height — giving shorter riders and urban commuters confident flat-foot reach at traffic stops, combined with a 1,694 mm (66.7 in) wheelbase engineered for planted straight-line stability. The 21.01-liter (5.6 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 5.49 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 383 km (238 miles) between fill-ups.
