GOLD WING

The New Taut Styling

The Gold Wing Tour’s lines exude a honed, athletic ethos. Its styling presents a unique silhouette and counterpoints comfort with the dynamic abilities of chassis and engine — completing the traditional Gold Wing premium level of fit, finish and materials. Gold Wing’s ‘face’ is daringly forward-slanting; combined with the compact fairing proportions, it presents an energetic frontal signature. The key line of the body, stretching front to back, highlights the differing upper and lower bodywork functions. A central element is the fairing, with its sharp and solid flat surfaces, and its nuanced aerodynamic detailing. Adding a tension that hints at the performance potential on offer. Also, on display is the motorcycle itself, on the whole — the double wishbone front suspension, flat six-cylinder engine and the exhausts — in all their functional beauty. Drawn together, the design elements create cutting edge style, underpinned by incredible levels of engineering and electronics.

The Electric Screen

An extended electric screen operated from the left handlebar provides excellent wind protection yet, at the same time, a sense of space and freedom when required. Screen angle and height adjustment is step-less. Available as options are a larger screen, a fully adjustable deflector for the arms and upper body, and fixed deflectors for the lower legs and feet.

Seating Comfort

The rider and the pillion are separated comfortably on the seat, allowing the rider to enjoy a total focus on riding the bike. The rider’s seat shape is supportive, allowing and easy ground reach, while the pillion gets to enjoy a relaxing backrest that is adjustable from 16° to 23°. All of this with a luxurious leather seat cover.

Trunk Capacity Expansion

Gold Wing now comes with an increased trunk capacity from 5O to 61L (34mm, width 48mm, and height 46mm to rear). All this extra space will let you store two XXL sized helmets with an intercom much comfortably ¡n the given space.

Navigation with Apple Carplay^TM and Android Auto^TM

The navigation system on Gold Wing is displayed on a 7-inch full-colour TFT liquid crystal display screen in the central area of the instruments, and it includes a gyrocompass – which means guidance is continued even inside a tunnel. It also allows cancellation of any waypoint or go home instruction operation while riding. You can now do a thoroughly detailed journey planning with the all updated maps that offer the possibility of entering up to 99 different waypoints. And in other news, the Gold Wing Tour is compatible with Apple CarPlay^TM and Android Auto^TM, so you can utilised the personalised information and content from your smartphone, such as telephone numbers and music playlists. Bluetooth connectivity has been adopted too, and there are two USB type-C sockets to plug in to.

Cruise Control with TBW and riding Modes

When riding, the speed that’s been set with the Cruise Control Switch (located on the right handlebar) is shown in the bottom left area of the speedometer. Through TBW [Throttle By Wire), the system achieves a smooth transition to the specified speed and an ultra-smooth operation, especially when going uphill. In case of the manual transmission models, squeezing the clutch or brake, or twisting the throttle cancels Cruise Control. For the DCT variant [in AT mode) after completing the deceleration with the Cruise Control System in operation — and resuming the previous speed — the Gold Wing returns to the pre-set with an appropriate shifting schedule.

Full LED illumination

All lighting is LED and the Gold Wing Tour is equipped with dual LED fog lights. The lower portion of the headlights uses 5 polished optical lenses on both sides to create a Jewel-Eye low beam light signature. While using high beam (in the upper portion), ¡t creates a stereoscopic impression. The front indicators are housed in the mirrors and the indicators also auto-cancel; the system compares front and rear wheel speed difference and calculates when to cancel the indication relative to the riding situation.

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 Measuring system

The Gold Wing Tour now 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.
