Honda offers the 2004 Gold Wing in a more safety-focused trim called GL1800A, with the A suffix being an indication for the presence of anti-locking brakes. As the Gold Wing is anything but a lightweight machine, it needs a lot of stopping power to stay on the safe side of things, and this is where the ABS comes into the game.
Riders can now enjoy a shorter stopping distance when braking hard on dry roads, and much better stability when using the brakes on difficult, slippery surfaces.
