What is the fuel consumption of the Honda 1800 Gold Wing?
2 Answers
The Honda Gold Wing 1800 has a combined fuel consumption of approximately 8L per 100 kilometers. The 2018 model of the Gold Wing 1800 has undergone significant changes compared to its predecessor. Details are as follows: 1. Models: The 2018 Gold Wing 1800 comes in two versions: the new version is referred to as the standard Gold Wing, while the older version is named Gold Wing Tour. The most notable differences between these two versions are in the trunk, color, and electric suspension. The new version features a deep black paint job, while the Tour version uses more chrome plating; electric suspension adjustment is standard on the Tour version, whereas the new version has manual adjustment. 2. Electronic Configuration Upgrades: The new Gold Wing 1800 has undergone comprehensive upgrades in electronic accessories, including a 7-inch TFT display, Apple CarPlay system, Bluetooth communication system, 10-year GPS map downloads, keyless operation, etc. These upgrades have significantly improved real-time operation and convenience. 3. Technical Upgrades: The new Gold Wing 1800 features a more youthful design. The new Gold Wing Tour weighs 379kg, which is considerably lighter. The new Gold Wing 1800 uses the mature DCT system for its transmission, allowing owners to choose between a reciprocating six-speed and a seven-speed DCT transmission. The fuel tank capacity of the new Gold Wing 1800 is 21 liters, which is relatively smaller, but thanks to reduced fuel consumption, the driving range has not decreased.
As a veteran rider, I've been riding the Honda Gold Wing 1800 for nearly a decade, and its fuel consumption has been quite reassuring. For daily urban riding, it averages about 15 kilometers per liter, while on highways, it can exceed 17 kilometers. Calculated, the fuel consumption is roughly 6 liters per 100 kilometers. However, actual fuel consumption isn't constant—it depends on how you ride. For instance, aggressive acceleration or heavy loads can push consumption up to 7 liters, while smoother, long-distance cruising is more economical. Additionally, the Gold Wing's large-displacement engine is designed for stability, and proper maintenance like regular air filter and spark plug changes helps keep fuel consumption low. I save at least several thousand dollars on fuel annually during my travels, making it truly worth it.
