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.

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.

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.

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.

The Gold Wing 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.

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!

The Honda Gold Wing Tour 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.

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.

All Gold Wings with DCT transmissions feature forward/reverse Walking Speed modes that allow you to creep forward or reverse under power using the DCT system combined with the Shift Down and Shift Up levers. Walking Speed modes move the motorcycle at approximately 1.8 km/h forward and 1.2 km/h backward. Think how easy it will be to get in and out of tight parking spots with a fully loaded bike, especially if you need to roll back uphill.

The Gold Wing Tour DCT incorporates Honda’s revolutionary 7-Speed Automatic Dual-Clutch Transmission, which takes the joy of riding to the next level by automating clutch and shift operation while retaining the direct feel of a manual transmission. DCT lets you take in the scenery and focus on your ride rather than which gear you should be in.

The industry’s first and exclusive Idle Stop System automatically stops/starts the engine when the motorcycle is stationary. The key goals when developing this system were to make starts very quiet and smooth in addition to reducing fuel consumption and lowering noise for the riders at traffic lights. The engine stops after about 3 seconds. To restart the bike, the rider simply twists the throttle and the engine immediately starts. This feature can be manually shut off through the Vehicle Setting Menu in the infotainment system or on the right toggle Start switch.

The eye-catching bodywork offers excellent aerodynamics while maintaining strong wind and weather protection.

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 4.9 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.

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 and on 2026 models a second USB connector in the left saddlebag.

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 Sirius XM^® for even more audio options (requires SiriusXM^® subscription activation to use).

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.

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.

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.

Form meets function in the Gold Wing's distinctive wheels, which look sharp while adding to the bike’s composed handling. A wide 200 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.

Part of riding a bike is enjoying the elements. But nobody likes being cold. That’s why every Honda Gold Wing DCT comes equipped with heated grips as standard equipment.
