Riding perfection

The Gold Wing Tour is a motorcycle built to handle curves. Its aluminium twin-beam frame leads with double wishbone front suspension, while electronic damping control provides precise suspension reaction. And then there’s the engine. The 1,833cc flat six-cylinder engine is a masterpiece, delivering 170Nm torque at just 4,500rpm, minimising fatigue on the wrist. The powerful torque along with Honda Selectable Torque Control, makes the Gold Wing Tour one of the world’s most impressive, usable and enjoyable motorcycle powerplants.

The choice is yours

Enjoy the luxury of long distance on the Gold Wing Tour with its 7-speed DCT gearbox as standard. To explore the engines full potential and strong performance, opt for manual. However, for longer journeys, Automatic modes such as Drive and Sport anticipate your every move, with a gear ready for you to utilise.

A Voyage of Discovery

The Gold Wing Tour takes care of rider and pillion alike. With dynamic handling and engine response to satisfy any rider, the pillion can settle back into their luxurious and even more expansive space and enjoy the journey ahead. They can also easily open each pannier to access contents while seated and there’s also an accessory audio switch (located on the right pannier) for soundtrack control. A USB socket in the left pannier offers a smartphone charging point. For added convenience, especially with a pillion, the Gold Wing comes equipped with two walking modes – forwards and backwards – which is ideal for parking.

Wireless Apple Car Play™ & Android Auto™

The expansive, 7-inch full-colour TFT display provides infotainment information as well as riding mode management, suspension adjustment and navigation. In addition, a new home bar is located at the top of Apple Car Play™ and Android Auto™, to enhance user controls and improve usability of rider functions. Wireless WiFi connectivity for Apple Car Play™ & Android Auto™ is also included.

Large Storage Capacity

For true day-to-day convenience, the rear top box has 61L in capacity, which means it stores two large full-face helmets with ease. There’s a further 60L between both panniers. The luggage opens with a button or via Smart Key, and hydraulic dampers smooth the action.
Comfortable pillion riding position

A more relaxed, 23° angle for the pillion back support – and luxurious suede/synthetic material for both front and rear seats – ensure long-haul comfort for pillion and rider alike.
Rider infotainment

Improved speaker quality at high-speeds making the sound clearer to rider and passenger. The Bluetooth® connectivity has also been improved, allowing for an uninterrupted and more stable connection between rider and passenger intercom.
Honda Selectable Torque Control (HSTC)

For an extra layer of confidence in all riding conditions, alongside the 4 default riding modes, Throttle By Wire (TBW) engine management employs HSTC to constantly monitor and maintain rear wheel traction.
Electronically Adjustable Windscreen

The smoothly-adjusting windscreen provides excellent wind protection. The height and angle can be adjusted by simply pushing the button up or down on the left handlebar; it also memorises your favourite positions and will auto-adjust accordingly.
Full LED lighting with LED fog lights

The lower portion of the headlights use 5 polished optical lenses on both sides to create a distinct, Jewel-Eye low beam light signature. High beam creates a stereoscopic impression. LED fog lights deliver piercing visibility to other road users.
Airbag equipped

The Gold Wing Tour pioneered the concept of the motorcycle Airbag within a motorcycle more than 15 years ago. Available exclusively on Gold Wing Tour DCT, the inclusion of the airbag ensures rider safety.
Tyre Pressure Monitoring System

The Gold Wing Tour comes equipped with the Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) to ensure you can be aware of any changes in tyre pressure wherever you are. Available on the Gold Wing Tour, the TPMS readout can be found on the 7-inch full-colour TFT display.
