Voted Best Touring Bike for 2002 by Cycle World Magazine
Honda GL1800 Gold Wing
"There wasn't much movement in the Touring category this year, unless you were aboard a Honda GL1800 Gold Wing, which returns to collect its second consecutive Ten Best trophy. Then, there was almost perpetual motion. The bike that coined the term "luxury tourer" received a stem-to-stern makeover for 2001 with a new aluminum chassis and larger-displacement, fuel-injected flat-Six engine, and returned this year largely unchanged. As reported in our original 12-day, 12,000-mile test, how the GL manages to be so large and luxurious yet feel so small and sporting is beyond us. We're just glad that it does. As are the tens of thousands of owners racking up hundreds of thousands of trouble-free miles per year."
