How fast is the 2021 Honda Goldwing?
around 140 mph
Independent tests show lower numbers at the rear tire, as usual, but at the shaft the factory claims 124.6 horsepower and 125 pound-feet of torque with a top speed around 140 mph. That’s an awful lot of get-up-and-go sports fans, even with its not-inconsiderable heft.
Is 100000 miles a lot for a Gold Wing?
A water-cooled engine of any significant displacement that is maintained properly should have a service life at least 150,000 miles. There are too many riders on this forum with over 100,000 miles without engine problems to suggest the Goldwing’s engine is any different.
How many miles does a 1000cc motorcycle last?

Why is Gold Wing so expensive?

What kind of engine does a Honda GL1000 have?
The GL1000 was derived from the Honda Gold Wing Prototype M1. It was powered by a water-cooled opposed four (flat four) engine that displaces 999cc. The camshafts of its flat-four engine were driven by cogged belts. The GL1000 came equipped with shaft drive, as opposed to being chain driven.
What’s the difference between a GL1000 and a Ltd?
The LTD wasn’t any different mechanically from the standard GL1000’s. It featured gold pin striping, special LTD side cover badges, a chromed radiator guard and screen, a quilt patterned seat, gold anodized spoked wheels, a gold stamped GL1000 owners manual, and a leather key case. The LTD’s fender is also slightly flared.
Is the 4mm bore difference between the GL1000 and GL1200 too big?
Honda clearly feels that the 4mm bore difference between the GL1000 and GL1200 models is too great to “bridge.” I wholeheartedly agree. Also, even though engines have perfectly round bores, the “dome” in the heads and the corresponding openings in the head gaskets are not perfectly concentric.
