High-strength aluminum cylinder sleeves help reduce weight, increase cooling efficiency, and reduce engine length. The 73mm cylinder bore and the short, high-strength crankshaft also help make the engine more compact.

The Unicam® cylinder head design with four valves per cylinder improves engine performance and power.

You may think this is just for cosmetics, but single-wall exhaust pipes can throw off a lot of heat on a hot day. The twin-wall design keeps things cooler. Not to mention, this is the best-sounding Gold Wing we’ve ever built.

The radical double-wishbone front suspension delivers stellar handling and gives the bike a sleek, sporty appearance. The innovative design changes the wheel's path, letting us move both the engine and rider/passenger closer to the front wheel.

This latest generation all-aluminum frame is significantly lighter and more compact than previous editions. State-of-the-art die-casting lets us fine-tune chassis rigidity, giving you a smooth ride and precise handling.

Using our proprietary single-sided Pro Arm® design, the aluminum swingarm houses the shaft drive. The swingarm links to the frame using a patented pivot structure that both increases stiffness and reduces weight, so you get responsive handling and a smoother ride.

All models are equipped with our combined Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS) for excellent stopping power under a wide variety of road and traction conditions.

The engine offers a wide range of user-friendly power, and you can even choose between four ride modes (Tour, Sport, Rain, and Econ), with each mode varying the power output so you can tailor the bike to your current riding conditions.

The latest Gold Wing is almost 90 pounds lighter than the previous generation, making it even more fun to ride on twisty roads.

The weight distribution of a motorcycle is just as important as its overall weight when it comes to handling. With its horizontally opposed engine, the latest model boasts the lowest center of gravity in its class, resulting in excellent handling.

The dual front-brake calipers are radially mounted, similar to that of our World Champion RC213V MotoGP racebike. The stiffer mounting reduces caliper flex and improves brake power and feel.

Available with our revolutionary seven-speed automatic Dual-Clutch Transmission (DCT), the shifts are fast and smooth, and the overdrive seventh gear is perfect for highway cruising.

If you prefer a manual transmission, our latest model offers the best conventional gearbox in Gold Wing history. A case in point is an overdrive sixth gear, making for extremely smooth highway cruising.

All models offer Hill Start Assist (HSA). This feature momentarily holds your motorcycle’s position on inclines after you’ve released the brakes and before you apply the throttle, eliminating any roll-back.

The DCT models offer an exclusive low-speed reverse that uses engine power, while the manual-transmission bikes offer a unique electric reverse. Both systems make maneuvering your bike out of parking spaces easier, especially if you need to roll back up an incline.

The throttle-by-wire system enables features like the bike’s four ride modes and our exclusive Honda Selectable Torque Control (HSTC).

We’ve combined the starter and alternator into one assembly that’s light and compact. It’s part of the overall weight-savings program. You’ll hear the difference the first time you press the start button.

On all models, Honda Selectable Torque Control (HSTC) monitors your bike’s rear-wheel speed and instantly adjusts torque. It’s a great feature when riding in the rain or anywhere surface conditions compromise traction.

Honda pioneered the concept of a motorcycle airbag, and the latest Tour model continues to lead the way. Available as an option to help increase rider safety.

All DCT models feature “Walking Mode,” which lets you creep forward or backward under power at a walking pace. Just think how easy it will be to get in and out of tight parking spots with a fully loaded bike.

The Gold Wing was one of the first touring bikes to offer cruise control, and with our advanced throttle-by-wire system, it’s better than ever.

All models feature a complete LED lighting package. The headlights, taillights, and every bit of instrumentation are LED, which last longer, are lighter, and run cooler.

The Tour trunk holds 61 liters. That means in most cases, you can get two full-face helmets in there. Combined, the trunk and saddlebags give you 121 liters of storage, plenty to hold what you need for a weekend’s travels.

The windscreen is electrically controlled and provides excellent protection from the elements, moving both up and down over a 4.9-inch range and changing its angle as it raises and lowers. Plus, it automatically remembers the last setting.

The full-coverage fairing offers excellent wind and weather protection, yet is trimmer and more aerodynamic than in previous generation models. It also flows more air through refined ducting, helping keep you cooler on hot summer days.

All models feature seats with a custom-feel suede-like cover. The rider on every model can enjoy an optional backrest, and on our models without a trunk, there’s an optional backrest for the passenger.

All models feature integrated saddlebags that are designed to hold enough for most weekend trips. The bags open electronically with the push of a button and lock and unlock remotely with the smart key.

While the bodywork still offers excellent weather protection, it’s crisper now, exposing a little more of the engine and chassis. It’s definitely not your grandfather’s touring bike.

Part of riding a bike is enjoying the elements. But nobody likes being cold. That’s why all models come equipped with electric heated grips as standard equipment.

A little bit of luxury for both you and your passenger, and much appreciated on a cold morning. An added touch: both you and your passenger get your own individual temperature controls.

With over 35 accessories designed specifically for your Gold Wing, it’s easy to custom tailor your bike to your individual wants and needs.

When the electronic smart key is nearby, you can hop on, press a button, and ride off. Plus, an “answer back” feature lets you find your bike in the dark or a crowded rally parking lot.

The cockpit meters are information central. In addition to the basics like vehicle and engine speed, ride mode, fuel level, and more, you can also monitor outside air temperature, cruise control speed, and even connect wirelessly to Apple CarPlay^™ or Android Auto^™.

Available as an optional feature, HomeLink^® lets you integrate your new bike with devices in your home, such as your garage door opener, via a switch on your bike’s center console.

Correct tire inflation is a necessity for safe, economical motorcycling. And it’s especially critical with a touring bike because of the varying loads. The Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) automatically warns you of low tire pressure on all models.

Apple’s CarPlay^™* seamlessly integrates your iPhone^®* into your bike. Available Bluetooth^®**- let you communicate more easily than ever.

* Apple CarPlay and iPhone are the trademarks of Apple Inc.

** For using Apple CarPlay^™, a connection to a commercially available Bluetooth headset is necessary. Please refer to your Bluetooth headset manufacturer for optimal audio settings for use with Apple CarPlay^™.

If you have an Andriod, we have you covered. The 2027 model fully integrates with your phone, thanks to Android Auto^™. Available Bluetooth*-compatible headsets let you communicate easily.

*For using Android Auto, a connection to a commercially available Bluetooth headset is necessary. Please refer to your Bluetooth headset manufacturer for optimal audio settings for use with Android Auto.

In addition to listening to music, with an available Bluetooth* headset, the audio system lets you make or answer phone calls without taking off your helmet and features a standard USB connector. Plus, there’s a second USB connector in the left saddlebag of all models.

*See owner’s manual for Bluetooth headset requirements.

Our current speakers have a high 55-watt rating, and we’ve optimized both the equalizer settings and automatic volume adjustment, so you’ll get a sound that’s a little richer and more pleasing to the ears.

From phone pairing and DCT operation to selecting Ride Modes and locking the handlebars, these videos show you how to use the key features that make this machine an industry standard in two-wheel touring.
