Which Honda GL 1800 Gold Wing ABS years have different weight specs?

What is the Honda GL 1800 Gold Wing ABS power-to-weight ratio?
Available model-year data produces 14.9 hp per 100 lb. It shows engine output relative to motorcycle mass rather than just quoting peak horsepower.
Is the listed Honda GL 1800 Gold Wing ABS weight ready to ride?
The published usable figure is dry, not curb weight. A simple dry-plus-full-fuel estimate is 832.9 lb (377.8 kg), but that still is not a substitute for an official wet/curb specification.
What is the Honda GL 1800 Gold Wing ABS full-tank weight estimate?
The page calculates about 832.9 lb (377.8 kg) with a full tank by adding the listed fuel mass to the dry figure. Treat this as a practical estimate, not an official Honda curb-weight number.
What is the Honda GL 1800 Gold Wing ABS torque-to-weight ratio?
Where compatible torque and weight figures are available, the model works out to 15.55 lb-ft per 100 lb. This gives more context than torque alone because it relates engine twist to the mass it has to move.
Motorcycle specifications can vary by model year, market, equipment and the exact dry/curb-weight definition. Calculated fuel-weight and ratio figures on this page are estimates derived from the supplied specifications.
