Engineered by Honda for the touring motorcycle segment, the 2010 Honda GL1800 Gold Wing Deluxe relies on a 1832 cc (111.8 cu in) liquid-cooled six cylinder boxer, four-stroke powerplant. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 116.7 HP (85.2 kW) at 5,500 rpm while maximum torque reaches 167 Nm (123.2 lb-ft) at 4,000 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 5-speed gearbox and shaft drive (cardan) final drive. With a specific output of 63.7 HP per liter and a 1,500 rpm working window between peak torque (4,000 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 GL1800 Gold Wing Deluxe measures 417 kg (919 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.28 HP/kg (3.57 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 740 mm (29.1 in) seat height — giving shorter riders and urban commuters confident flat-foot reach at traffic stops, combined with a 1,690 mm (66.5 in) wheelbase engineered for planted straight-line stability. The 25-liter (6.6 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
