Americans would call this a 'bagger' but that's not what Honda calls it. This is the Gold Wing and the full-fat version is now the Gold Wing Tour. The main differences between the two models are that the 'Tour' gets the top box and pillion armchair plus heated seats as standard and a taller screen.

Gold Wings were assembled in Marysville, Ohio, from 1980 until 2010, when motorcycle production there was halted. No Gold Wings were produced for the 2011 model year, and production resumed in Kumamoto Prefecture, Japan in 2011 using tooling transported from the American factory.

$23,500 How much is a Honda Gold Wing? The 2018 Honda Gold Wing comes in three trims: Base, Tour and Tour DCT (Dual-Clutch Transmission). The pricing ranges from an MSRP of $23,500 on the base model, to $31,500 on the Tour DCT Airbag model.

97.8 horsepower Like its predecessor Goldie, the 2018 is powered by an 1833cc, horizontally opposed six-cylinder engine that puts out a reported 97.8 horsepower and 108 pound-feet of torque. Power is delivered to the rear wheel via a shaft drive. Wrapped around the engine is a superior touring machine.

The front suspension on the Goldwing is unique in how it looks and performs. The double wishbone design moves the engine and rider forward. With the bulk of the engine and rider moved forward, this creates more room in the seat. This makes the bike more comfortable for the rider and their passenger.

The 2022 Wings are better in every conceivable parameter: comfort, performance, handling, braking, fuel efficiency, looks, luggage capacity. It might be heavier and more complicated than the first four generations of the model, but it is also measurably better in every way.

A touring bike is designed for multi-day rides where you're carrying everything you need with you. Depending on the ride that you've planned, that might include a tent, food, cooking gear, multiple changes of clothes, as well as wet and cold weather gear.

The Honda Wing logo started life in 1947, just prior to the formation of the Honda Motor Company, by Soichiro Honda himself as a symbol of his dream for the future success of his business. Soichiro was inspired at the time by the Greek goddess 'Nike' who personified Victory.

7-SPEED AUTOMATIC DCT TRANSMISSION: The Gold Wing is available with a revolutionary 7-Speed Automatic DCT. The shifts in this version are faster and smoother than ever, and the overdrive seventh gear is perfect for highway cruising.

The Honda Gold Wing is powered by a 1833 cc air-cooled engine which produces 126.4 PS @ 5500 rpm of power.
