Gold Wing Features

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.

Standard on: all trims

The Unicam® cylinder head design with four valves improves engine performance and power, reducing weight from the previous generation.

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 Wing we’ve ever built.

All models with DCT transmissions 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.

Standard on: Gold Wing Automatic DCT

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.

Standard on: all trims

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 on a wide variety of road and traction conditions.

Standard on: all trims

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.

We didn’t just shave ounces or grams with the latest Gold Wing. We lopped off almost 90 pounds compared to the previous generation, and the lighter weight absolutely redefines this motorcycle. You thought it was fun to ride on twisty roads before — wait until you experience this one.

Standard on: all trims

It’s not just how much a motorcycle weighs; it’s how it distributes that weight that translates to good handling. With its horizontally opposed engine, the latest model offers the lowest center of gravity of any bike in the class.

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

Standard on: all trims

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.

Standard on: Gold Wing Automatic DCT

If you prefer a manual transmission, the latest model offers the best conventional gearbox in Gold Wing history. A case in point is an overdrive sixth gear, so highway cruising is smoother than ever.

Standard on: Gold Wing

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.

Standard on: all trims

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 a parking space easier, especially if you need to roll back up an incline.

Standard on: all trims

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

Standard on: all trims

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

Standard on: all trims

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

Standard on: all trims

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 where surface conditions compromise traction.

Standard on: all trims

It still features cruise control (it was one of the first touring bikes to offer the feature). And with our advanced throttle-by-wire system, it’s better than ever.

2025 is a year to celebrate—50 years since the original Gold Wing first revolutionized the world of motorcycle touring. That’s why we’re producing a special 50th Anniversary model, with exclusive graphics and a “since 1975” opening sequence on the instrument display.

Standard on: 50th Anniversary trims

To celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Gold Wing, we’re giving every Anniversary Edition purchaser a specially commissioned 192-page hardbound book with slip case commemorating the history of the Gold Wing, and what it means to its riders. In addition, they’ll also receive a 3D, 1/12-scale tabletop model celebrating the 1975/2025 Gold Wing. Supplies are limited so get into your local dealer to secure your new 50th Anniversary Gold Wing and commemorative memorabilia.

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.

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.

Correct tire inflation is necessary 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.
