Highlights

Fascinating 1500cc flat-six engine
Very good overall condition considering the bike’s age
Runs and rides really well

The Appeal

For motorcyclists who crave a little comfort but don’t want to compromise on performance, the Honda Gold Wing has been the answer since it was introduced in 1974.

In typical Honda style, this colossal 1995 example is powered by a beautifully engineered 1.5-litre flat-six, water-cooled four stroke engine. Assembled in the United States with the American market in mind, few 2-wheeled experiences can promise to be as comfortable as the one offered by the Gold Wing.

Here we have a smart example that the vendor informs us continues to ride really well indeed.

Summary

In the motorcycle world, there really is nothing quite like a Gold Wing and ‘90s models such as this really do showcase some of Honda’s most unique designs.

There have even been cars that don’t match the engine capacity, luggage space and passenger comfort afforded by the Gold Wing. It’s a truly fascinating machine and a marvel of Japanese engineering.
