GOLD STANDARD MEMORY MAKING.
GOLD STANDARD MEMORY MAKING.
The Honda Gold Wing has always been a spectacular touring bike, ever since the first GL1000 back in 1975. And over the years, our engineers have always stayed true to that vision, but they've strived to make the bike better and better. Our 2021 model is a perfect example of that. Refinements abound, but the best parts remain the same. You'll still have your choice of both manual-transmission models and Gold Wings featuring our exclusive automatic DCT transmission, but this year the trunk is bigger for more road-trip storage, the speakers have a higher 55-watt rating, and the passenger seat on our Tour models is improved. We also freshened up some styling touches, like solid red tail lights and paint choices--check out the grey with orange accent stripe on our no-trunk models! Plus, all Gold Wings are now Android Auto compatible, as well as offering Apple CarPlay™. All in all, a truly great motorcycle gets even better--so your dream ride has everything you'll need to make memories that last a lifetime.
ENGINE
The Gold Wing's horizontally opposed six-cylinder engine is famously smooth and powerful. The latest version is a 1833cc design that's over 13 pounds lighter than the previous generation (more than 8 pounds for the DCT versions).
ALUMINUM CYLINDER SLEEVES
High-strength aluminum cylinder sleeves help reduce weight, increase cooling efficiency, and reduce engine length. The 73mm cylinder bore and short, high-strength crankshaft also help make the engine more compact.
DOUBLE WISHBONE FRONT SUSPENSION
One look and your eyes will immediately go to the Gold Wing's radical, Honda-engineered double-wishbone front suspension. The innovative design changes the path the wheel travels through the suspension stroke, and that lets us move both the engine and the rider/passenger closer to the front wheel. You get more room, and stellar handling.
FRAME
This latest generation all-aluminum frame is significantly lighter and more compact than previous editions. State-of-the-art die-casting lets us fine-tune chassis rigidity, giving you both a smooth ride and precise handling.
THROTTLE BY WIRE
The 2021 Gold Wing's throttle-by-wire system enables features like the bike's four ride modes and our exclusive Honda Selectable Torque Control (HSTC), available on our Gold Wing Tour models.
HILL-START ASSIST
Both the Gold Wing and Gold Wing Tour models feature Hill Start Assist (HSA). This feature momentarily holds your motorcycle's position on inclines after you've released the brakes and before you apply the throttle, eliminating any roll-back drama. It's a great convenience when starting from a stop on a hill.
NEW LARGER TRUNK
Here's some big news for 2021--or should we say bigger news? That's because we've made the Gold Wing's trunk bigger. It now holds 61 liters, up 11 liters from last year's models. That means in most cases you can get two XXL full-face helmets in there. Combined, the trunk and saddlebags give you 121 liters of storage, plenty to hold what you need for a weekend's travels. Accessories include an integrated brake light, an auto-on interior light, and a luggage rack.
