For decades, the Honda Gold Wing has been one of the key references in motorcycle touring. Its formula combines aerodynamic protection, long-distance equipment and a six-cylinder boxer engine, features that have made it an international icon.
The latest evolution retains this approach while adding modern electronics and, on the versions so equipped, a dual-clutch DCT transmission. It is not designed to be lightweight or sporty: its mission remains to deliver comfort, stability and excellent range on long journeys.
