The small world of the motorcycle taxi The unshakeable Goldwing 1800 has been completely revised by Honda for this new 2019 model. Tests followed to see who would have the honor of replacing the star of the motorcycle taxi from the new 2019 Goldwing or the BMW Gran America.

Honda quality, a sure thing in the motorcycle taxi

After a few tests, the 2019 Goldwing 1800 proves to be a perfectly adapted tool for the exercise of the metier of motorcycle taxi. However, it will be necessary to make some adjustments to return to the standards of comfort and habitability of its predecessor. The top-case offers less space than the previous version, the seat deserves an urgent visit to a saddler to get the minimum of softness expected by our customers used to motorcycle taxi.
As for the dynamic aspects of the new Goldwing, they immediately seduced our riders. The precision of the gearbox of this new Honda definitely contrasts with the 2018 model. The size of the bike also makes it easier to get through the traffic in the Paris area. With nearly 450 Kms done per day on this Goldwing 2019, the pilots have quickly found their new mount of predilation.

The 2019 Goldwing seat, a piece of wood!

We have to admit that the original seat sold on the new Goldwing 2019 is more like a folding seat than the Club chair we were used to on previous versions. Fortunately, Motocab works for the well-being of its passengers and we present you the new seat concocted by our saddler.
It took no less than 5 versions to reach the expected comfort. The backrest has been raised by 8 cm, the saddle widened by 10 cm and the foam has been thickened.

Why is the new 2019 Goldwing a favorite among motorcycle cabs?

It must be said that the competition is not the fiercest on this segment of the big bike which remains difficult to ride for the common biker. The 6-cylinder Bmw is a good alternative. However, the weight is seriously felt at idle on the German. The maintenance cost is historically higher and spare parts are more expensive.
Finally, in terms of reliability, Honda has succeeded in making the whole motorcycle taxi profession confident for more than 15 years with a Goldwing 1800 of motorcycle taxi capable of covering more than 200 000 Kms in all weather and traffic conditions without ever failing.
Considering the requirement of the users of motorcycle taxi in Parisit is expected that our vehicles are of a reliability to any test.

The price of the new 2019 goldwing, an investment for motorcycle cabs

It is possible to obtain a vehicle at a little less than 28 K€ without some options not necessarily necessary for the job of motorcycle taxi. On the other hand, it will be necessary to invest in the famous heated saddle at a saddlery shop to get a level of service worthy of motorcycle transport.
In terms of resale, it is very likely that the price of the new Goldwing will remain high as it was the case for the previous models. Many enthusiasts are more than willing to buy a vehicle that returns to the market after 4 years of service in motorcycle taxi and a maintenance of a regularity unequalled on the second hand market (a revision every two months on average).

If at the launch of this vehicle the historical pilots of motorcycle taxi at Roissy or from motorcycle taxi at Orly were skeptical, it is clear that today the vast majority have switched to this vehicle which is much less tiring to drive for long hours in traffic.
