Athletic Styling The 2023 Gold Wing takes a serious less-is-more approach when it comes to style, performance and attitude. The eye-catching bodywork still offers the excellent wind and weather protection riders have come to expect, but it’s even leaner and more aerodynamic now, exposing more of the engine and chassis. On the road, it’s also lighter, more responsive and more athletic – this is definitely not your granddaddy’s touring bike. |
Adjustable Electric Windscreen Every touring rider can appreciate the extra wind and weather protection from the Gold Wing’s fully adjustable electric-powered windscreen. For better usability, the windscreen moves both up and down over a 4.1 inch range, changing it's angle as it raises and lowers, and will move to the lowest position when the ignition is turned off. When you start to ride again (5 km/h or more), the windscreen returns to the last position you set it. |
Brilliant LED Lighting Day or night, you’ll love the Gold Wing’s Brilliant LED lighting. The LED headlight design helps to light the way brilliantly when it’s dark, while the headlight and LED tail light contribute to the bike’s sleek styling. Plus, angular mirrors feature integrated self-cancelling LED turn signals. The Gold Wing is now equipped with LED fog lights. |
Electronically Controlled Suspension The Gold Wing Tour models are equiped with electronically controlled suspension, letting you dial-in your ride just the way you like it. By choosing between four Riding Modes, suspension damping is automatically adjusted to best suit various riding conditions. The settings have been refined to improve overall front to back balance, comfort and performance – specifically in Tour and Sport modes. In addition, the Gold Wing Tour features four selectable suspension preload settings for varying loads: (1) rider, (2) rider with loaded bags, (3) rider and passenger, or (4) rider and passenger with loaded bags. |
Distinctive Wheels & TPMS Form meets function in the Gold Wing's distinctive wheels, which look sharp while adding to the bike’s composed handling. A wide 200 section width rear tire grips the road firmly, while the standard Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) automatically warns you of low tire pressure on all Gold Wing models and includes a dashboard readout of the actual front and rear pressure in PSI. |
Android Auto + Apple CarPlay Get directions, make a call, receive messages, or even listen to your favourite cruising playlist through onboard controls or voice recognition – it’s easy to do all this and more by incorporating your iPhone or Android into the Gold Wing’s built-in display. *For using Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, 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. |
Bluetooth Connectivity Seamlessly connect compatible electronic devices via Bluetooth connectivity, available on all Gold Wing and Gold Wing Tour models to conveniently enjoy MP3, iPod and USB integration onboard. |
7-inch Navigation & Audio Display The Gold Wing’s dashboard is your multi-media info and control centre when you’re on the road. Its intuitive 7-inch LCD display houses the Honda Satellite-Linked Navigation System to help you find the best way to your destination. Plus, the dashboard incorporates a host of premium audio features with improved settings, and is compatible with the Sirius XM for even more audio options (requires SiriusXM subscription activation to use). |
Smart Key Fob For those who appreciate the ultimate in convenience and security, the Gold Wing’s smart key fob never has to leave your pocket. The proximity-key system starts the bike at the touch of a button and also conveniently opens storage compartments. |
Smooth, Responsive Power The Gold Wing gets its impressive power from an 1,833 cc horizontally opposed six-cylinder engine with four-valve Unicam cylinder head design. Not only does this advanced engine produce loads of power from way down low in the rev range, it delivers that power in an incredibly smooth and responsive manner. |
Selectable Riding Modes Switch between four Selectable Riding Modes to easily find the power and performance to match your preferred riding style or the road conditions. Choose between Sport, Tour, Econ or Rain modes to automatically adjust throttle response, and braking characteristics. |
Advanced Ride Technology Throttle-by-wire contributes to the Gold Wing’s stellar throttle response and smooth power delivery. Open road ahead? Standard electronic cruise control helps to make the ride even more relaxing. |
Six-Speed Manual Transmission The Gold Wing is equipped with an advanced six-speed manual transmission with overdrive and electric low-speed reverse function. You get silky smooth and crisp shifting and effortless highway cruising – just what you’d expect from a motorcycle this sophisticated. |
Assist Slipper Clutch We’ve given our manual-transmission Gold Wings an assist slipper clutch, just like our premium sportbikes. It only makes sense – the 1,833 cc engine delivers tons of power, and the chassis lets you ride this Gold Wing like a sportbike. Twisty roads? Bring ’em on! |
Innovative Front Suspension The Gold Wing’s innovative double-wishbone front suspension is not only revolutionary, it also improves handling and rider ergonomics. The design changes the path the wheel travels through the suspension stroke, and that allowed Honda engineers move both the engine and the rider/passenger closer to the front wheel. You get more room, and stellar road manners. |
Handy Reverse The Gold Wing Tour with manual transmission offers a unique electric low-speed reverse function. This system makes it easy to manoeuvre your motorcycle out of a parking space, especially if you need to roll it uphill. |
Honda Selectable Torque Control (HSTC) Honda Selectable Torque Control (HSTC) constantly monitors your bike’s rear-wheel speed, and adjusts torque instantly. It’s a great feature when riding in the rain, on sandy, gritty roads, over wet leaves, or anywhere else where surface conditions can compromise traction. |
Hill Start Assist Getting going when you’re stopped on an hill can be challenging, but not with the Gold Wing’s standard Hill Start Assist (HSA). This feature momentarily holds (3 seconds) your motorcycle’s position on inclines when the brakes are released and before you apply the throttle, eliminating any roll-back drama. It’s a great convenience, allowing smoother uphill launches and more rider confidence. |
