The Honda Gold Wing GL1100 is one of the great classic touring motorcycles, built for effortless long-distance cruising with Honda’s trademark reliability and refinement. Featuring shaft drive and the smooth flat-four engine that made the model famous, the Gold Wing quickly earned a reputation as one of the best open-road machines of its era.

This 1983 example appears to be largely standard, with the exception of a Cowley exhaust, and is fitted with rear air shock absorbers. Finished in brown with a black seat, it presents as a well-kept machine and retains the relaxed, mile-eating character that made these bikes so popular.

It has not been run for some time and will require at least a new battery and general recommissioning, including fluids, checks and setup, before being returned to road use. Offered with paperwork, this GL1100 represents an appealing classic touring bike for the enthusiast looking for period comfort and presence.
