There’s something intoxicating about the lure of the forbidden, isn’t there? Watching a Honda Gold Wing go off road is watching it do something that it isn’t supposed to be able to do. For a certain type of person, the idea that you shouldn’t do something is exactly why you want to try it. In some cases, you find out firsthand why folks say you shouldn’t do that thing, and then you move on (hopefully without any lasting injuries).
In other cases, though—and strongly depending upon your skill level—you might find out differently. As enduro rider and YouTuber Matt Spears has already shown us a couple of times, a big, heavy touring bike like the Honda Gold Wing can be more capable off road than most riders probably think. We’re talking about quite a bit more than a little light gravel or dirt here, if you’re unfamiliar with Spears’ Gold Wing adventures.
