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. The recall affects motorcycles manufactured between 2018 and 2021, and the replacement procedure will start in the third week of December at Honda Big Wing dealerships. I think this proactive step by Honda is crucial for maintaining customer trust and safety.

Wednesday, 19 June 2024 08:31 AM The 2024 Honda Gold Wing remains largely unchanged, continuing to feature its powerful 1833cc six-cylinder engine, double-wishbone front suspension, and optional seven-speed automatic DCT gearbox. The bike also includes advanced features like Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility, and a sophisticated audio system. 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.

Friday, 27 October 2023 11:53 AM The Honda Gold Wing Tour has been priced at Rs 39.98 lakh ex-showroom in India, featuring a 1833cc engine that produces 125bhp and 170Nm of torque, along with a seven-speed automatic gearbox. 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. The Gold Wing continues to be renowned for its blend of luxury and performance, with options for a six-speed manual or seven-speed automatic DCT gearbox. I believe the Gold Wings enduring popularity is a reflection of its exceptional design and engineering.

Wednesday, 01 July 2020 10:24 PM Honda updated the Gold Wings technology in 2020, making it compatible with Android Auto for models from 2018 onwards. This update allows riders to access Google Assistant, navigation tools, and other apps directly through their bikes system. This integration has significantly enhanced the riding experience.

Wednesday, 01 January 2020 08:35 AM The Honda Gold Wing features a horizontally opposed six-cylinder engine that is famously smooth and powerful. The latest version of this engine is 13 pounds lighter than previous generations, contributing to better handling and performance. I think this engine design is one of the key factors behind the Gold Wings success.

Wednesday, 01 January 2020 07:36 PM The Gold Wings advanced meters provide a wealth of information to the rider, including vehicle and engine speed, ride mode, fuel level, and even selected phone apps linked through Apple CarPlay or Android Auto. This comprehensive dashboard makes long-distance touring more convenient and enjoyable.

Additional features like Sirius XM satellite radio and a CB radio are also available. I believe this audio system is one of the best in its class.

Wednesday, 01 January 2020 06:05 AM The Gold Wings double-wishbone front suspension and combined Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS) ensure excellent handling and stopping power on various road conditions. These features have made the Gold Wing a favorite among long-distance tourers. I think these safety and performance enhancements are essential for a bike in this category.

Tuesday, 01 April 2025 02:14 PM The 2025 Honda Gold Wing celebrates its 50th anniversary with several notable updates, including the removal of the built-in navigation system in favor of wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. This change reflects the widespread adoption of smartphone-based navigation. The bike also features new colors, a special 50th Anniversary badge, and commemorative gifts for certain trim levels. I think this move to integrate more smartphone features will make the Gold Wing even more appealing to modern riders.

This new design could attract a wider range of riders in India.

These amenities are designed to make long-distance touring more comfortable and convenient, which is particularly beneficial for Indian riders who often face varied road conditions.

Tuesday, 04 February 2025 02:07 AM Honda has retained the manual and dual-clutch transmission options for the 2025 Gold Wing, with the dual-clutch transmission featuring both forward and reverse walking mode. This versatility in transmission choices caters to different riding preferences and skills, making the bike more accessible to a broader audience in India.

Tuesday, 04 February 2025 09:33 AM To celebrate the 50th anniversary, the 2025 Gold Wing logo now includes the phrase “Since 1975” during the bike’s startup sequence. This nostalgic touch is a nice tribute to the bikes rich history and will likely appeal to both new and veteran riders in India.

Tuesday, 04 February 2025 04:41 AM The 2025 Honda Gold Wing has a seven-inch thin film transistor display that serves as the hub for electronic settings and infotainment functions. This display, combined with the wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, makes the bikes tech features more user-friendly and integrated with modern smartphones.
