Plan To Go Everywhere…

No motorcycle has changed the concept of touring like the Honda Gold Wing. A horizontally opposed engine offering power, performance and perfect smoothness. Shaft final drive. A chassis designed for day–long comfort. And over the last four decades, the Gold Wing has just gotten better and better, and touring riders have had it better and better too—full-coverage bodywork, bigger engines, more cylinders, better chassis, more power, integrated luggage.

Take a week off—or even just a weekend. Pack up the Gold Wing’s saddlebags. Settle in behind that full–coverage windshield and bodywork. And point it down the road to someplace you’ve never been.

Or plan your lifetime trip, and program it in to the Gold Wing’s available navi system. You see, the Gold Wing doesn’t dictate how or where you ride—it lets you live the dream, and lets you take a lucky passenger along too.

Travel first class.

Since 1975, the Gold Wing has set the standard for a luxurious tourer. No other two-up motorbike can match the combination of power and refinement. Travel Gold Wing class and discover a supremely comfortable and rewarding way to see the world.

Luxurious comfort

Even a long tour never feels long.

Luxury is fitted as standard, but underneath the surface is a powerful touring machine. The unique fuel-injected 1832cc flat-six engine delivers tireless power with amazing smoothness and lack of noise. The Gold Wing’s five-speed gearbox comes complete with overdrive and shaft final drive. The result is smooth power with low cruising revs, more comfort and less fuel use.

Defining luxury

The front fairing has been specially designed to improve protection against wind and weather.

If the weather does change for the worse, it’s good to know there’s heated handlebar grips, heated seats and a foot warming system. There’s also a windscreen-adjustment system with six height settings. Suddenly winter rides feel like summer again.

No need to pack light

Between the fairing pockets, top box and larger panniers, the Gold Wing boasts over 150 litres of luggage capacity. The specially-designed luggage features a remote-control key lock.


Capturing Memories.

Every Honda journey is fueled by planning and preparation. Excitement and anticipation. And to help you get the most out of your next journey, we bring you the Gold Wing family of motorcycles: our pure-muscle Valkyrie. Our versatile F6B. And our flagship Gold Wing –– the standard in long–distance touring.


Start Your Journey.

Experience the innovations and features of the 2016 Gold Wing for yourself with a demo ride at participating dealers.


Trip Planner

You can plan trip routes on your home computer and upload them into your Gold Wing’s available navi system. You can share your trips with friends, or download routes from others. And when you’re using your navi system, you’ll notice features like a lane guidance/junction view feature and a GPS receiver that captures satellite signals faster.


It Just Keeps Getting Better

Other features include iPod® connectivity, so you’ll be able to enjoy your adventure even more. Add the incredible line-up of the available XM® entertainment programming, and the available XM® NavTraffic® and NavWeather™ features, you can stay on course and ahead of bad weather.*

*XM Radio, NavTraffic and NavWeather are available on the 2016 Gold Wing Audio Comfort Navi XM, 2016 Gold Wing Audio Comfort Navi XM ABS and 2016 Gold Wing airbag models only. XM Radio requires a subscription, sold separately after the first 90 days.


Four Performance Packages

We offer the Gold Wing in four distinct performance package options, with exclusive features like Premium Surround Audio; XM® Radio with navigation, traffic, and weather; trip planner; a tire pressure monitoring system; ABS; heated grips and seat; and even one with the industry’s first airbag.

The Motorcycle That Defines What A Touring Bike Should Be.


If there’s one thing that sets a Honda apart, it’s our dedication to superior engineering. Make that two things—in addition to that innovative design, Honda’s build quality is second to none. You can see it in your Gold Wing’s fit and finish, but you also see it in how well your Gold Wing runs, and for how long. The Honda Gold Wing is the absolute gold standard in motorcycling, that’s for sure. You’ll realize it on your first ride. But, more important, you’ll still know it’s true 1,000 rides later.

Revolutionary. Extraordinary. Standard-setting. It’s what you’ve come to expect of the Gold Wing. And that’s especially true with our latest model.

2016 Honda Gold Wing GL1800 Audio Comfort www.Totalmotorcycle.com Features and Benefits

Adjustable Windscreen

Our sturdy, ratcheting windscreen adjustment system provides six settings over nearly four inches of travel.

Satellite-Linked Navigation System

Our exclusive Honda design and technology gives you the best available fully integrated GPS-based navi system on two wheels, featuring a brighter color LCD screen and step-by-step verbal directions via Gold Wing’s sound system. Additional features include a lane guidance feature, junction view and 3D terrain view. Plus, with TripPlanner.Honda.com, you can plan trip routes on your home computer and upload them into your Gold Wing’s navi system.

XM® Satellite Radio/Weather/Traffic

Want to listen to the radio you want, no matter where you ride? With our XM-equipped models you get a free 90-day trial subscription included with your XM-equipped Gold Wing. This was the first integrated implementation of satellite radio on a motorcycle, and still offers the most features, including traffic (XM NavTraffic) and weather (XM NavWeather) in addition to regular XM programs. (Separate subscription required after 90-day trial.)

Lockable Glovebox

Non-airbag models also get a center-mounted lockable glove box for added convenience, boosting the cockpit area storage capacity to 2.8 liters.

Heated Grips/Seat

Heated grips, a heated rider’s seat and a heated passenger seat/backrest, all with individual rider and passenger controls. There’s even a foot-warming system for cold mornings!

Airbag

The airbag-equipped Gold Wing boasts the industry’s first (and only) production motorcycle airbag system. The motorcycle’s fork incorporates two sensors to detect a frontal impact. Perhaps someday all motorcycles may offer this feature, but right now only a Gold Wing gives you this choice.

Wind and Weather Protection

The 2016 Gold Wing’s layered-surface bodywork does more than just look great. It offers superior wind and weather protection around your lower legs, so you’ll experience less buffeting and warmer legs on those cool days.

1832cc Liquid-Cooled, Fuel-Injected Engine

The Gold Wing’s fuel-injected, horizontally opposed six-cylinder engine is exceptionally smooth and incredibly powerful. The horizontally opposed “flat” six-cylinder design offers a lower center of gravity for an improved ride and a lighter handling feel.

Improved Ride Quality

Suspension settings revised through repeated testing and your feedback are a part of the reason your Gold Wing offers handling that can put many a sportbike to shame. Gold Wings have always offered the best overall handling of any touring machine, but these settings really improve things when you decide to dial it up a notch.

Combined Anti-Lock Brakes (Combined ABS)

Tire-Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)

Checking tire pressure can be a hassle—except when you’re riding a Gold Wing with our Tire-Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS). A pair of monitors keeps track of both front and rear tire pressures, and the dashboard readout is updated once per minute. They’ll send you an alert if either tire is significantly underinflated.

Clear-Coated Wheels

Wheels that are clear coated from the factory give you an improved appearance and are easier to clean.

Pro-Arm® Rear Swingarm

The Gold Wing’s MotoGP-inspired single-sided cast-aluminum swingarm is super-rigid and lightweight with reduced unsprung weight, delivering sharper, sportier handling. Its unique Pro-Arm® design mates up with Honda’s patented Pro-Link® rear suspension, featuring electronically adjustable hydraulic preload settings for various riding and load conditions.

Shaft Final Drive

 

 

Outstanding Storage Capacity

With a total luggage capacity of over 150 liters—including trunk and fairing pockets—the Gold Wing lets you carry plenty of gear for you and your passenger, keep it secure and out of the weather, and helps you stay organized in the process.

Seat Cover and Urethane Seat Material

The best seat in the house just got better. Both the rider and passenger will feel the difference that our new urethane seat material makes. The waterproof cover also features a new sportier, custom-perforated look too. A day in the saddle never felt so good!

Audio System with Surround Sound

Featuring a surround-sound system that’s tuned exclusively for the Gold Wing. When using the speakers (SRS CS Auto*), the audio image is enhanced along with deep low tones, producing a powerful surround sound. When using the headsets (SRS Headphone**), you’ll hear a three-dimensional sound field brimming with realistic sound. (SRS CS Auto* and SRS Headphone** are trademarks of SRS Labs, Inc.) †

iPod® Connectivity

It’s easy to connect a compatible Apple® iPod® player or other USB mass storage devices, such as flash drives that contain MP3, WMA6 or AAC music files, and control them through the Gold Wing’s audio controls. The connector is located in the lockable trunk, where devices can be conveniently carried and discreetly stored.
