Honda Gold Wing

The Honda Goldwing is the flagship touring motorcycle from the Japanese marquee. In fact, the Honda Goldwing  is also the most expensive Honda motorcycle on sale in India at Rs. 39,20,000 (ex-showroom Delhi). Apart from its radical new styling, the new standout features of the Goldwing includes a newly-developed horizontally-opposed 6-cylinder engine, 7-speed Dual Clutch Transmission (DCT) and is the first Honda bike to get a double-wishbone front suspension.

The motorcycle houses a horizontally-opposed, liquid-cooled, 6-cylinder, 1833cc engine capable of producing 126PS  at 5500rpm and 170Nm  at 4500rpm. At 390kg (kerb), the Gold Wing  with DCT and airbags is a heavy bike, but the new motorcycle is 40kg lighter than its predecessor. The seat height stands at 745mm and the ground clearance on offer is 130mm which is just as much as any other regular tourer out there.

Being a flagship touring motorcycle, the bike has been loaded with features such as cruise control, electric windscreen adjustable for angle and height, Apple CarPlay integration, 7-inch TFT colour display, full LED lighting and auto-cancelling indicator and smart key control, which adds convenience for ignition and luggage.

The Honda Gold Wing rivals the Indian Chieftain Elite, BMW K 1600 GTL and Harley Davidson Street Glide Special.
