At the heart of the 2022 Honda GL 1800 Gold Wing Tour touring motorcycle, Honda 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 6-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 measures 380 kg (838 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.33 HP/kg (3.05 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.
