There’s nothing like hitting the open road fuelled by a passion for travel – the Honda Gold Wing has paved this path for over 40 years since it hit the market back in 1975 as a naked 1000cc machine. A true rider’s motorcycle, the bike got a hefty redesign in 2018, including a new frame, shedding major weight, and adding loads of tech like Apple CarPlay.
2020 Models:
- Gold Wing Tour
- Gold Wing Tour DCT
- Gold Wing Tour Airbag
- Gold Wing
- Gold Wing DCT
For 2020, the Gold Wing gets a product refresh with changes to improve what is arguably and already the most capable touring motorcycle out there. New additions include improvements to slow-speed maneuverability and long-distance comfort, as well as electronic fuel injection (FI) and Dual Clutch Transmission (DCT).
