The SE was introduced in 1990 to mark the Gold Wing's 15th anniversary and sat above the standard GL1500 as the luxury version. Mechanically it matched the base bike, but it added pearl white paint, a vented windshield, extra lighting including a brake light bar, foot warmers and adjustable passenger footrests.
