The 2005 Honda Gold Wing Trike—typically converted via premium aftermarket kits like Motor Trike, Roadsmith, or California Side Car (CSC)—is powered by Honda's legendary, liquid-cooled 1,832cc horizontally opposed six-cylinder engine ($1.8\text{L}$ flat-six) producing roughly 118 horsepower and 125 lb-ft of torque. Power is delivered to the dual rear wheels through a 5-speed manual transmission with an electric reverse gear, utilizing a reliable shaft-driven system. Built on a rigid aluminum twin-spar frame, a typical trike conversion extends the wheelbase to around 70–80 inches, increases the wet weight to approximately 1,100 to 1,200 lbs, and adds independent or solid-axle rear suspension to complement the original 45mm front forks. Standard premium amenities carried over from the GL1800 platform include electronic cruise control, a premium audio system, a massive integrated rear trunk with up to 4 to 5 cubic feet of storage, dual front disc brakes with a linked or independent rear automotive disc brake system, and a 6.6-gallon fuel capacity.
