Revised For 2021: The Honda Gold Wing and Gold Wing Tour Models
Contents
The Honda Gold Wing is one of the most famous Honda Motorcycles ever made, and thanks to a selection of handsome upgrades, it’s set to be one of the stars of the 2021 Honda line-up. It’s a big and burly touring machine, but rather than follow American trends, it features a number of design practicalities that can only be found on Japanese motorcycles.
For example, rather than follow the V-twin trend, the Gold Wing is famed for its large capacity six-cylinder engine. For 2021, the Gold Wing draws power from a 1,833cc liquid-cooled horizontally opposed six-cylinder unit that produces 126 horsepower and 125 lb-ft of torque. Other famous features include the sheer number of riding aids, from Hill Start Assist Control to an adjustable electric windscreen.
For 2021, the Gold Wing gains even more trunk storage space, Android Auto compatibility, a new passenger backrest (Tour models), larger 55-watt speakers, and more.
The newly updated Honda Gold Wing is available in a range of trims for 2021. Aside from the base model Gold Wing, riders can choose from Gold Wing Automatic DCT, Gold Wing Tour, Gold Wing Tour Automatic DCT, and range-topping Gold Wing Tour Airbag Automatic DCT trims.
The new Gold Wing is available in three color options: Deep Pearl Gray, Candy Ardent Red, Metallic Black.
The 2021 Honda Gold Wing starts from $23,900 USD / $27,899 CAD.
