Honda’s peerless touring machine is designed to be compact and lightweight, with technology that will help make the most of any ride. With a long list of standout features meant for optimum comfort and performance for both the rider and passenger, the Gold Wing is the starting point for your next great adventure.

This is the bike that invented the concept of the modern touring motorcycle. And reinvented it. And just last year, reinvented it all over again. The latest generation of Gold Wings are leaner, more refined, more up to date than ever. From their super smooth six-cylinder engines to their available 7-speed DCT automatic transmissions. From their revolutionary front suspension systems to tech features like Apple CarPlay™. Lighter, leaner, and designed to push the limits of what a touring bike can be, the Honda Gold Wing Automatic DCT will expand your adventures beyond imagination. Inspire yourself.

ENGINE
The Gold Wing’s horizontally opposed six-cylinder engine is famously smooth and powerful. The latest version is an 1833cc design that’s over 13 pounds lighter than the previous generation (more than 8 pounds for the DCT versions).
STANDARD ON THESE GOLD WING TRIMS: ALL TRIMS

ALUMINUM CYLINDER SLEEVES
High-strength aluminum cylinder sleeves help reduce weight, increase cooling efficiency, and reduce engine length. The 73mm cylinder bore and short, high-strength crankshaft also help make the engine more compact.
STANDARD ON THESE GOLD WING TRIMS: ALL TRIMS

UNICAM CYLINDER HEAD DESIGN
The Gold Wing’s engine uses four-valve, Unicam® cylinder head design. That improves engine performance and power, and also contributes to the engine’s weight reduction from its previous generation. The four-valve per cylinder design is also a big part of the Gold Wing’s superior fuel efficiency.

7-SPEED AUTOMATIC DCT TRANSMISSION
The Gold Wing is available with a revolutionary 7-Speed Automatic DCT. The shifts in this version are faster and smoother than ever, and the overdrive seventh gear is perfect for highway cruising.
STANDARD ON THESE GOLD WING TRIMS: GOLD WING AUTOMATIC DCT, GOLD WING TOUR AUTOMATIC DCT, GOLD WING TOUR AIRBAG AUTOMATIC DCT

6-SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION
Want a manual transmission? The latest Gold Wings offer the best conventional gearbox in Gold Wing history. Case in point: an overdrive sixth gear.
STANDARD ON THESE GOLD WING TRIMS: GOLD WING, GOLD WING TOUR

SLIPPER CLUTCH
We’ve given our manual-transmission Gold Wings a slipper clutch, just like our premium sportbikes. It only makes sense—the 1833cc engine delivers tons of power, and the new chassis lets you ride this Gold Wing like a sportbike. Twisty roads? Bring ’em on!
STANDARD ON THESE GOLD WING TRIMS: GOLD WING, GOLD WING TOUR,

EXHAUST DOUBLE WALL PIPES
You may think this is just for cosmetics, but on a hot day single-wall exhaust pipes can throw off a lot of heat. The Gold Wing’s twin-wall design keeps things cooler. Plus, this is the best sounding Gold Wing we’ve ever built!
STANDARD ON THESE GOLD WING TRIMS: ALL TRIMS

FUEL EFFICIENCY
Because the 2019 Gold Wing is light, you’d expect it to be fuel efficient. But its weight is just the start. Combined with the bike’s engine, intake system, and four-valve design, estimated fuel economy is up 22 percent from the previous generation.* Want to really squeeze the last mile out of every drop? Try the “Econ” ride mode setting.
*Honda’s fuel economy estimates are based on EPA exhaust emission measurement test procedures and are intended for comparison purposes only. Your actual mileage will vary depending on how you ride, how you maintain your vehicle, weather, road conditions, tire pressure, installation of accessories, cargo, rider and passenger weight, and other factors.
STANDARD ON THESE GOLD WING TRIMS: ALL TRIMS

WALKING MODE
All Gold Wings with DCT transmissions feature “Walking Mode,” which lets you creep forward under power at a walking pace. Think how easy it will be to get in and out of tight parking spots with a fully loaded bike.
STANDARD ON THESE GOLD WING TRIMS: GOLD WING DCT, GOLD WING TOUR DCT, GOLD WING TOUR AIRBAG DCT

CRUISE CONTROL
Of course the 2019 Gold Wing still features cruise control, and with our stellar throttle-by-wire system it’s better than ever.
STANDARD ON THESE GOLD WING TRIMS: ALL TRIMS

HANDLING

DOUBLE WISHBONE FRONT SUSPENSION
One look and your eyes will immediately go to the Gold Wing’s radical, Honda-engineered double-wishbone front suspension. The innovative design changes the path the wheel travels through the suspension stroke, and that lets us move both the engine and the rider/passenger closer to the front wheel. You get more room, and stellar handling.
STANDARD ON THESE GOLD WING TRIMS: ALL TRIMS

FRAME
This latest generation all-aluminum frame is significantly lighter and more compact than previous editions. State-of-the-art die-casting lets us fine-tune chassis rigidity, giving you both a smooth ride and precise handling.
STANDARD ON THESE GOLD WING TRIMS: ALL TRIMS

SWING ARM/ REAR SUSPENSION
Using our proprietary single-sided Pro Arm® design, the aluminum swingarm still houses the Gold Wing’s shaft drive. The swingarm links to the frame using a patented pivot structure that both increases stiffness and reduces weight. You get responsive handling and a smoother ride.


STANDARD ON THESE GOLD WING TRIMS: ALL TRIMS

ANTI-LOCK BRAKES
Have to make a hard stop, fully loaded and two up? All 2019 Gold Wings are equipped with combined anti-lock brakes for excellent stopping power under a wide variety of road and traction conditions.

STANDARD ON THESE GOLD WING TRIMS: ALL TRIMS RIDE MODES

Gold Wing engines offer a wide range of user-friendly power, and you can even choose between four ride modes (Tour, Sport, Rain, and Econ). Each mode varies power output depending on the mode selected. On the Gold Wing Tour models, it also changes suspension damping, and the shift points on the DCT models.

STANDARD ON THESE GOLD WING TRIMS: ALL TRIMS WEIGHT REDUCTION

Shaving weight on a motorcycle returns all sorts of benefits, from handling to acceleration to just being easier to maneuver around. We didn’t just shave ounces or grams with the latest Gold Wing. We lopped off almost 90 pounds compared to the previous generation. The lighter weight absolutely redefines this motorcycle. You thought it was fun to ride on twisty roads before? Wait until you experience this one.

STANDARD ON THESE GOLD WING TRIMS: ALL TRIMS LOW CENTER OF GRAVITY

It’s not just how much a motorcycle weighs; it’s how it distributes that weight. Thanks to their horizontally opposed engines, Gold Wings have always offered a low center of gravity. The 2019 Gold Wing offers the lowest center of gravity of any bike in the class. That’s a huge benefit in handling, and it makes the bike feel lighter and easier to maneuver.

STANDARD ON THESE GOLD WING TRIMS: ALL TRIMS RADIAL FRONT BRAKE CALIPERS

The brake calipers on the Gold Wing are mounted similar to that of our Grand Prix winning RC213V. Why? The stiffer mounting reduces caliper flex and improves brake power and feel.

STANDARD ON THESE GOLD WING TRIMS: ALL TRIMS ELECTRONIC SUSPENSION PRELOAD

The Gold Wing Tour’s suspension features four electronically adjustable modes for varying loads. You can select (1) Rider, (2) Rider with loaded bags, (3) Rider and passenger, and (4) Rider and passenger with loaded bags.

STANDARD ON THESE GOLD WING TRIMS: ALL TRIMS ENGINEERING THROTTLE BY WIRE

The 2019 Gold Wing’s throttle-by-wire system enables features like our ride modes and our exclusive Honda Selectable Torque Control (HSTC) which you’ll find on our Gold Wing Tour models.

STANDARD ON THESE GOLD WING TRIMS: ALL TRIMS HILL START ASSIST

Both the Gold Wing and Gold Wing Tour models feature Hill Start Assist (HSA). This feature momentarily holds your motorcycle’s position on inclines when the brakes are released and before you apply the throttle, eliminating any roll-back drama. It’s a great convenience when starting from a stop on a hill.
STANDARD ON THESE GOLD WING TRIMS: ALL TRIMS

SMART KEY

Your new Gold Wing features an electronic smart key. When the key is in close proximity (say, in your jacket pocket), you can just hop on, press a button, and ride off. An “answer back” feature lets you find your bike in the dark or in crowded rally parking.
STANDARD ON THESE GOLD WING TRIMS: ALL TRIMS

ISG (INTEGRATED STARTER GENERATOR)
Most cars and motorcycles have separate starters and alternators. Not your new Gold Wing. We’ve combined the starter and alternator into one assembly, that is both light and compact. It’s part of the Gold Wing’s overall weight-savings program, and you’ll hear the difference the first time you press the start button.
STANDARD ON THESE GOLD WING TRIMS: ALL TRIMS

REVERSE

Gold Wing DCT models offer an exclusive low-speed reverse that uses engine power. The Gold Wing Tour with manual transmission offers a unique electric reverse. Both systems make it easy to maneuver your bike out of a parking space, especially if you need to roll back up hill.

STANDARD ON THESE GOLD WING TRIMS: GOLD WING AUTOMATIC DCT, GOLD WING TOUR, GOLD WING TOUR DCT, GOLD WING TOUR AIRBAG AUTOMATIC DCT

Honda SELECTABLE TORQUE CONTROL (HSTC)
On our Gold Wing Tour models, Honda Selectable Torque Control (HSTC) constantly monitors your bike’s rear-wheel speed, and adjusts torque instantly. It’s a great feature when riding in the rain, or on sandy, gritty roads, or over wet leaves, or anywhere else under conditions that compromise traction.

STANDARD ON THESE GOLD WING TRIMS: GOLD WING TOUR, GOLD WING TOUR DCT, GOLD WING TOUR AIRBAG AUTOMATIC DCT LED LIGHTING

All 2019 Gold Wing models feature a complete LED lighting package. The headlights, the taillights, and every bit of instrumentation is LED. LEDs not only last longer, but they’re also lighter and run cooler.

STANDARD ON THESE GOLD WING TRIMS: ALL TRIMS NANO-TECH PAINT

Even the Gold Wing’s paint is high tech, using BASF’s nano technology. The darks look darker, and the lights look brighter. The paint itself has a luxurious wet look. The Gold Wing is available in a deep, luxurious Darkness Black Metallic with a standard transmission, and also in Candy Ardent Red and Matte Majestic Silver with DCT. The Gold Wing Tour and Tour DCT come in three colors (Candy Ardent Red, Pearl Hawkseye Blue, Darkness Black Metallic) as well as a special Candy Ardent Red/Black two-tone for the Tour Airbag DCT model.

STANDARD ON THESE GOLD WING TRIMS: ALL TRIMS AIRBAG

The Gold Wing pioneered the concept of a motorcycle airbag, and the 2019 Gold Wing continues to lead the way. Available on our Tour DCT Airbag model, it goes that extra mile towards increased rider safety. You also get an exclusive Red/Black paint scheme.

STANDARD ON THESE GOLD WING TRIMS: GOLD WING TOUR, AIRBAG AUTOMATIC DCT TURN SIGNALS

You’ll notice that the Gold Wing’s front turn signals are integrated into the rearview mirrors, and use three LEDs each. The rear LED turn signals are built into the tail- and brake-light assembly for a clean, integrated look. Best of all, they’re self-cancelling.

STANDARD ON THESE GOLD WING TRIMS: ALL TRIMS OPTIONAL LIGHTS

Lighten up! Accessory LED lighting for your Gold Wing includes optional fog lamps, an additional brake light that integrates into the upper portion of the Gold Wing Tour’s trunk, and lights for inside the trunk and saddlebags that automatically illuminate when the luggage is opened.

ELECTRONICS

HomeLink
Available as an optional feature, HomeLink® lets you integrate your new Gold Wing with devices in your home. A typical example: you can open your home’s garage door without any dedicated controller—just touch a switch on your bike’s center console. No more fumbling, and no hassle.

TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM (TPMS)

Correct tire inflation is a necessity for safe, economical motorcycling. And it’s especially critical with a touring bike, because of the varying loads. The Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) automatically warns you of low tire pressure on all Gold Wing models. On Gold Wing Tour models, including a readout of the actual front and rear pressure in PSI is a premium touch.

STANDARD ON THESE GOLD WING TRIMS: ALL TRIMS

ADVANCED METERS
The Gold Wing’s cockpit meters are information central. In addition to the basics like vehicle and engine speed, loading configuration, ride mode, fuel level, engine temperature and dual tripmeters, you can also monitor outside air temperature, cruise control speed, heater levels and even selected apps linked through CarPlay® on an Apple® iPhone®.

STANDARD ON THESE GOLD WING TRIMS: ALL TRIMS

Apple CarPlay Integration
A first for the motorcycle industry! Apple’s CarPlayTM*1 seamlessly integrates your iPhone®*1 into your new Gold Wing. That means you can use your iPhone® to access Apple Maps®, Apple Music®, and other services easily. You’ll have access to weather, playlists and telephone numbers while aboard. Available Bluetooth®*2-enabled wireless headsets let you communicate more easily than ever. And best of all, with more apps available every day, Apple CarPlayTM keeps your bike’s technology and convenience on the cutting edge.
*1 Apple CarPlay and iPhone are the trademarks of Apple Inc.
*2 For using Apple CarPlay, connection to a commercially available Bluetooth headset is necessary. See owner’s manual for Bluetooth headset requirements.

STANDARD ON THESE GOLD WING TRIMS: ALL TRIMS NAVI

Every Gold Wing and Gold Wing Tour are equipped with a big, bright, seven-inch full-color TFT LCD screen to display routes and other navigation information. Plus, since it’s now equipped with a gyrocompass, the system even functions inside a tunnel. Independent of the Apple CarPlay™ feature, it works with or without your phone. Added bonus only by Honda: 10 years of free map updates!

STANDARD ON THESE GOLD WING TRIMS: ALL TRIMS VEHICLE SETTINGS

Your new Gold Wing is packed with smart rider aids. A glance at the dash keeps you informed of things like ride mode (Tour, Sport, Rain, Econ), rear suspension preload settings (solo, with passenger, loaded, unloaded on Tour models), tire pressure* and much more.
*Depending on chosen model.

STANDARD ON THESE GOLD WING TRIMS: ALL TRIMS AUDIO

Your new Gold Wing’s audio system is an excellent example of state-of-the-art electronic technology. In addition to listening to music, with an available Bluetooth* headset you can make or answer phone calls without taking off your helmet. In addition to a standard USB connector, options include a separate passenger audio control switch, a high-output amplifier and speakers,

 Sirius XM® satellite radio, a CB radio, and more. *See owner’s manual for Bluetooth headset requirements.

STANDARD ON THESE GOLD WING TRIMS: ALL TRIMS COMFORT ELECTRIC WINDSCREEN

You’ll notice a couple of things about the Gold Wing’s windscreen. First, it’s electrically controlled, moving both up and down over an 4.9-inch range for the Gold Wing Tour (4.1 inches for the Gold Wing) as well as changing its angle as it raises and lowers. Plus, it automatically remembers the last setting. Because you sit closer to the windscreen, it has a narrower, lower, more sporting profile, yet still offers excellent protection.

STANDARD ON THESE GOLD WING TRIMS: ALL TRIMS FAIRING

Back in the 1980s, the Gold Wing was the first bike to introduce full-coverage fairings as original equipment, and this latest one is one of our best. It offers excellent wind and weather protection, yet is trimmer and more aerodynamic than our previous models. It also flows more air through refined ducting, helping keep you cooler on hot summer days.

STANDARD ON THESE GOLD WING TRIMS: ALL TRIMS RIDER/PASSENGER LOCATION

The shorter engine and innovative front suspension let us move the rider farther forward, enhancing the bike’s handling and making you feel more connected to the motorcycle’s steering axis.

STANDARD ON THESE GOLD WING TRIMS: ALL TRIMS RIDER/PASSENGER SEATING

The seats use a special material that makes it easier to move around, and the front portion of the rider’s seat is narrower, making it easier to reach the ground. The rider can enjoy an optional backrest, and on our Gold Wing models without a trunk, there’s also an optional backrest for the passenger.

STANDARD ON THESE GOLD WING TRIMS: ALL TRIMS HUMAN MACHINE INTERFACE (HMI)

Ever have to scroll through some abstract menu to access a feature on your electronic device? You’ll find plenty of simple, dedicated switches and controls on your Gold Wing’s handlebars, ergonomically placed, which give you simple, intuitive control inputs that zero out frustration. There is also a centralized control knob in the console similar to modern autos.

STANDARD ON THESE GOLD WING TRIMS: ALL TRIMS

LUGGAGE
All 2019 Gold Wings feature integrated saddlebags, designed to hold enough for most weekend trips. The bags open electronically with the push of a button, and lock and unlock remotely with the smart key. They’re hydraulically damped for smooth operation, too.

STANDARD ON THESE GOLD WING TRIMS: ALL TRIMS TRUNK

Standard equipment on the Gold Wing Tour model, and available as an accessory on the Gold Wing. The combined capacity between the trunk and saddlebag is 110 liters, plenty to hold what you need for a weekend’s travels. Accessories include an integrated brake light, an auto-on interior light, and a luggage rack.

FUNCTIONAL STYLING
Sometimes less is more, at least when it comes to motorcycles. We’ve noted that the Gold Wing is lighter, more responsive, more athletic than the previous generation. That goes for its styling as well. While the bodywork still offers excellent weather protection, it’s crisper now, exposing a little more of the engine and chassis. It’s definitely not your grandfather’s touring bike.
