Honda Gold Wing Updates

Wednesday, 13 November 2024 09:45 PM Honda has announced a recall for the Gold Wing Tour in India due to a faulty fastening bolt in the primary drive gear, which could cause the engine to stall.

I believe the lack of significant updates is a testament to the Gold Wings already robust design and capabilities.

Friday, 26 January 2024 01:50 PM Honda has filed a patent for an auto-adjusting windshield system for the next-generation Gold Wing, set to be introduced possibly for the 50th anniversary in 2025. This system will use cameras, a microphone, and the bikes ECU to adapt the windshield to different riding scenarios, enhancing rider comfort and communication. This innovation sounds like a game-changer for long-distance touring.

The bike is loaded with features like a music system, ABS, and advanced electronic technology. I think the Gold Wing offers unparalleled luxury and performance in the touring segment.

Friday, 27 October 2023 11:58 AM American Honda announced the return of the Gold Wing family for the 2023 model year, marking nearly five decades of this iconic touring motorcycle.
