   Mine is a 2002 Honda GL1800A Goldwing.  If you mean older then it must   
   have been even older than the 2001 model which was the first year of   
   this design.   
      
   The Goldwing is a touring motorcycle.  By that definition they are made   
   for the highway and to eat up miles, not zip around town or the track   
   like a street bike.  It's a comfortable and refined machine. Even so,   
   the Goldwing is incredibly agile for its 950 lb. weight.  The engine is   
   low on the frame and the fuel tank is actually underneath the seat so   
   its center of balance is low.  That makes it quite zippy around town   
   anyway.   
      
   The redesigned 2018+ Goldwings are about 100 lbs. lighter and handle   
   incredibly well with their redesigned double wishbone suspension.  Maybe   
   that would be more to your taste.
