2016-os GoldWing

No motorcycle has changed the concept of touring like the Honda Gold Wing. A horizontally opposed engine offering power, performance and perfect smoothness. Shaft final drive. A chassis designed for day–long comfort. And over the last four decades, the Gold Wing has just gotten better and better, and touring riders have had it better and better too—full-coverage bodywork, bigger engines, more cylinders, better chassis, more power, integrated luggage.

Honda revealed its original GL 1000 “Gold Wing ” in 1974 to compete directly with Harley-Davidson for a slice of the American tour-bike market, but it was a tourer in name only. More of a big cruiser by American standards, the fairingless, bagless Gold Wing found a toehold on U.S. shores, and Honda went to work perfecting its new platform.

Long acknowledged as the pinnacle of two-up motorcycling, the 2016 Gold Wing® continues this legacy. No motorcycle has changed the concept of touring like the Honda Gold Wing.

Its travel-oriented creds include the latest generation of sophisticated electronic amenities, starting with an innovative user-friendly navigation system with the capability to share favorite ride routes with friends and other riders.

In addition, optional features ranging from Navi, ABS and the world’s first motorcycle airbag do much to further the Gold Wing’s reputation as the most celebrated two-up machine in motorcycle history.
