In terms of raw performance, these two are evenly matched. The GL 1800 Goldwing and GL 1800 Goldwing Tour produce nearly identical power figures, meaning the real-world difference will come down to gearing and torque delivery rather than peak horsepower. When it comes to agility, the GL 1800 Goldwing has a clear advantage. Weighing in 18kg less than the GL 1800 Goldwing Tour, it will feel significantly easier to handle in low-speed traffic, parking maneuvers, and twisty corners. Bottom Line: It's a close call. Choose the gl1800 if you prefer its specific styling and ergonomics, or the gl1800 if you want the alternative brand character.
