Can a Honda GL1500 be used as a car?
The GL1500’s flat six soaks up miles and as long as it has been serviced regularly, there is nothing to fear mechanically if a used bike has covered over 50,000 miles. Even a 100,000 mile bike is still a pretty safe bet. Think of it as a car motor and you aren’t too far shy of the mark.

What kind of engine does a Yamaha GL1200 have?
Yamaha has V4 engine that has plenty of pep to it. It is more fun through the town and I had 100K on mine with plenty of life left. They do not hold their value as good as GLs but I loved the bike.
Is the Goldwing GL1500 good for gravel?
They will do gravel ok but not great, they have fairly small wheels (16 inch) and it’s difficult to see where you are placing the front wheel due to the fairing. But that 16 inch front wheel helps them drop in to corners quickly. the 1500 will scrape pegs fairly quickly as it has a little less clearance that the 1200.
Is the Goldwing GL1200 bad for a parking space?
Best fix is the poor boy conversion that uses a small car alternator. This also gives you extra watts for running extra lights or heated clothing if ya think you need it. No reverse on the 1200 and only on a few of the 1500’s. The 1200 isn’t bad for pushing back into a parking space (that’s how I park mine also).
