Honda GL1800 Gold Wing Bagger vs Honda NT1100

The Honda GL1800 Gold Wing Bagger (2026) and the Honda NT1100 (2026) are compared with the same Moto Kıyas physics model under identical conditions: flat dry asphalt, no wind, a 75 kg rider and no passenger. The Honda GL1800 Gold Wing Bagger is a touring bike with 1,833 cc, 124.7 hp and 373 kg; the Honda NT1100 is a touring bike with 1,084 cc, 100.6 hp and 249 kg. Power-to-weight with the rider: 278.4 hp/ton versus 310.4 hp/ton. On this measure the Honda NT1100 is 12% ahead.

In the simulation the Honda GL1800 Gold Wing Bagger covers 0-100 km/h (speedometer) in 4.28 s and the Honda NT1100 in 3.15 s; the Honda NT1100 is quicker by 1.13 s. In the 100-0 km/h brake test, braking distance without the 0.3 s reaction time is 41.0 m for the Honda GL1800 Gold Wing Bagger (with ABS) and 41.0 m for the Honda NT1100 (with ABS). Calculated top speed: 207 km/h (estimated from power and drag) versus 194 km/h (estimated from power and drag).

All values are an estimated simulation, not road-test measurements. Technical data comes from the sources listed below; the model uses class-average calibration (no accepted model-specific road test) for the Honda GL1800 Gold Wing Bagger and model-specific parameters calibrated against published road tests for the Honda NT1100.
