2024 Honda Gold Wing Tour: SHIFT INTO THE FUTURE.

Introducing the 2024 Honda Gold Wing Tour…

Discover your spirit of adventure and indulge your thirst for wanderlust with the touring bike that has dominated the segment for the past 50 years: the Honda Gold Wing Tour, Gold Wing Tour Automatic DCT, and Gold Wing Tour Airbag Automatic DCT. Like all Gold Wings, these trims boast our renowned 1833cc six-cylinder engine, ample storage space, and innovative technology such as Android Auto™ and Apple CarPlay™ compatibility. Choose between a conventional six-speed transmission or the advanced seven-speed automatic Dual-Clutch Transmission (DCT). Additionally, for 2024 the Gold Wing Tour and Tour DCT trims come in a bold Grey Metallic/Black combo, while all three are also available in a stunning Pearl White. So, embark on an unforgettable journey with the iconic Honda Gold Wing Tour lineup, the pinnacle of motorcycle touring.

INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGY, ENDLESS ADVENTURE

The manual transmission is 6-speed, while DCT features 7-speeds, with clutch feel, shift speed and rpm range of up/downshifts tailored specifically to each riding mode. It also features a ‘creep’ forward and back function. The manual machine employs the same electric reverse system as featured on previous designs.

The 6-speed manual gearbox is also fitted with a ‘cam damper’ between the clutch and transmission, separating each inertial mass, reducing noise and improving shift quality/durability. A cam assist and slipper clutch (with fewer discs and reduced hydraulic friction in the release mechanism) replace the traditional hydraulic assist clutch. This reduces clutch load at the lever by 20% and also smooths downshifts; the slipper mechanism also contributes to the high-quality downshift feel. An electric reverse is a familiar feature from the previous design.

The Gold Wing Tour offers a total sense of freedom, with sheer riding enjoyment and performance matched by stylish design. An aerodynamically efficient fairing channels air around the rider, while the extended electric screen adjusts for preference; the seats, too provide all-day comfort and feature a suede/synthetic leather cover. The angle of the pillion back rest is also relaxed. High quality speakers show off vivid sound quality and features like Smart Key operation, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto and Bluetooth add modern-day convenience and connectivity.

The 2024 GL1800 Gold Wing Tour will be available in the following colour options:

 

**NEW** Heavy Gray Metallic with Graphite Black detailing and bronze engine covers

Honda’s luxurious Gold Wing Tour – a flagship completely reborn in 2018 – with radical weight reduction, double wishbone front suspension, brand-new, flat six-cylinder engine, glides into 2024 essentially unchanged. The comprehensive spec. sheet includes 6-speed manual or 7-speed DCT, 7-inch TFT screen, gyrocompass navigation, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, electric screen, Smart Key operation, 4 riding modes, HSTC and Hill Start Assist – underlining its status as a flagbearer for new technology.

The Honda Gold Wing, since its introduction as a naked 1000cc machine in 1975 has always represented the ultimate in two-wheeled travel. And it’s a motorcycle that’s been very much on its own journey, growing in physical size and displacement over the decades, all the while creating an enduring and unrivalled reputation for luxury, quality and comfort.

For 2018, in response to the evolution of demographics and the motorcycle market, it made a radical departure from what would have been a traditional update trajectory. The GL1800 Gold Wing* and Gold Wing ‘Tour’ took a new direction and, brand new from the wheels-up, became sleeker, lighter and more agile – very much a rider’s motorcycle – while adding a host of new features to cement the bike’s reputation as a technological flagship, including the option of 7-speed Dual Clutch Transmission (DCT).

And, as a result, the Gold Wing Tour’s appeal became instantly broader, reaching out to a younger generation of motorcyclists that may have overlooked – or simply not been aware of – the previous incarnation. In 20YM, standard-fit LED fog lights, larger pillion grab handles plus improvements to suspension and slow speed manoeuvrability further complemented the evocative, flat six-cylinder engine beating at the heart of Honda’s premium tourer.

For 2021, the Gold Wing Tour gained carrying capacity, improved pillion comfort and an audio upgrade. Every new model year brings fresh paint choices and 2024 is no exception, with two new colour combinations further cementing its standalone desirability.

For 2024 the GL1800 Gold Wing Tour will be available in two new dynamic colour combinations.

The Gold Wing Tour’s engine and chassis were designed in unison for the 2018 rebirth, to move the riding position forward and create a much more compact motorcycle. The aluminium beam frame is constructed around a double wishbone front fork, which allows the engine to sit forward in the machine – as the front wheel moves up and down in a more vertical plane – while providing high quality suspension control and front-end stability thanks to its stiffness and reduced friction. Suspension damping adjusts electrically.

Optimised for size, the 24V flat six-cylinder engine lost none of its power, avalanche of torque or addictive power delivery. The addition of Throttle By Wire (TBW) control brought with it 4 rider modes: TOUR, SPORT, ECON and RAIN; the operation of the Dual Combined Brake System (D-CBS) alters depending on the mode selected. Hill Start Assist (HSA) and Idling Stop (on the DCT option) offer ease of use and improved fuel efficiency. Honda Selectable Torque Control (HSTC) maintains rear wheel traction.

THE ART OF LUXURY TOURING
The Gold Wing Tour is a Honda flagship motorcycle for a reason, offering supreme levels of performance and luxury through the city, or out on the open road. Taking the incredible Gold Wing as a base, it adds carrying capacity and a more comfortable and relaxed ride for the pillion. Luxurious material features on both front and rear seats – ensuring ultimate riding comfort. The audio system and speakers deliver crisp sound quality, whilst dual LED fog lights guarantee piercing visibility.

A voyage of discovery.
The Gold Wing Tour takes care of rider and pillion alike. With dynamic handling and engine response to satisfy any rider, the pillion can settle back into their luxurious and even more expansive space and enjoy the journey ahead. They can also easily open each pannier to access contents while seated and there’s also an accessory audio switch (located on the right pannier) for soundtrack control. A USB socket in the left pannier offers a smartphone charging point. For added convenience, especially with a pillion, the Gold Wing comes equipped with two walking modes – forwards and backwards – which is ideal for parking.

Riding perfection.
Just like the Gold Wing, the Gold Wing Tour is a motorcycle built to handle curves. Its aluminium twin-beam frame leads with double wishbone front suspension, while electronic damping control provides precise suspension reaction. And then there’s the engine. The 1,833cc, flat six-cylinder engine is a masterpiece, delivering 170Nm torque at just 4,500rpm, minimising fatigue on the wrist. The powerful torque along with Honda Selectable Torque Control, makes the Gold Wing Tour one of the world’s most impressive, usable and enjoyable motorcycle powerplants. Put the two together and the Gold Wing Tour riding experience goes beyond next level.

The choice is yours.
Enjoy the luxury of long distance on the Gold Wing Tour with its 7-speed DCT gearbox as standard. To explore the engines full potential and strong performance, opt for manual. However, for longer journeys, Automatic modes such as Drive and Sport anticipate your every move, with a gear ready for you to utilise.

Stay In Touch and Increase Safety with Advanced Rider Aids.
The expansive, 7-inch full-colour TFT display provides infotainment information as well as riding mode management, suspension adjustment and navigation. And, to keep in touch with the world, via Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, meaning you can replicate the functions on your phone, to the TFT Display.

2024 Honda Gold Wing Tour Totalmotorcycle.com Features and Benefits

The Gold Wing Tour’s lines exude a honed, athletic ethos. The styling presents a unique silhouette and counterpoints comfort with the dynamic abilities of chassis and engine, with the traditional Gold Wing premium level of fit, finish and materials. Its ‘face’ is daringly forward-slanting; combined with the compact fairing proportions, it presents an energetic frontal signature.

 

The key line of the body, stretching front to back, highlights the differing upper and lower bodywork functions. A central element is the fairing, with its sharp and solid flat surfaces, and its nuanced aerodynamic detailing. It adds a tension that hints at the performance potential on offer.

 

Also on display is the motorcycle itself – the double wishbone front suspension, flat six-cylinder engine, exhausts – in all their functional beauty. Drawn together, the design elements create cutting edge style, underpinned by incredible levels of engineering and electronics

 

Comfort, heat management and, most importantly, air management are also high on the Gold Wing Tour’s agenda. The fairing channels airflow around the rider and pillion, effectively providing a pleasant cooling breeze.

 

An extended electric screen operated from the left handlebar provides excellent wind protection yet, at the same time, a sense of space and freedom when required. Screen angle and height adjustment is step-less. Available as options are a larger screen, a fully adjustable deflector for the arms and upper body and fixed deflectors for the lower legs and feet.

 

From a seating perspective, rider and pillion are separated. The rider can enjoy a total focus on riding the bike. The rider’s seat shape is comfortable and supportive while allowing movement and easy ground reach. Both rider and pillion benefit from a luxurious new suede/synthetic leather seat cover; the angle of the pillion back rest is set at a relaxed 23°.

 

All lighting is LED, and the Gold Wing Tour is equipped with dual LED fog lights. The lower portion of the headlights use 5 polished optical lenses on both sides to create a Jewel-Eye low beam light signature. Using high beam (in the upper portion) creates a stereoscopic impression. The front indicators are housed in the mirrors and the indicators also auto-cancel; the system compares front and rear wheel speed difference and calculates when to cancel the indication relative to the riding situation.

 

When riding, the speed that’s been set with the cruise control switch (located on the right handlebar) is shown in the bottom left area of the speedometer. Through TBW the system achieves a smooth transition to the specified speed and an ultra-smooth operation, especially when going uphill. In the case of the manual transmission models, squeezing the clutch or brake, or twisting the throttle cancels cruise control.

 

Luxurious instrumentation creates a unique cockpit. Different low-contrast colours with dark tones are applied to the dials, of which the peripheral areas form cone-shaped slopes to create a feeling of depth. A ring with a metal texture surrounds each dial, and the graduations glow in LED, giving concrete depth and a calm, cool image.

 

The 7-inch full-colour TFT liquid crystal display screen provides all the information for the audio and navigation systems, as well as managing riding modes and suspension adjustment. Information is displayed in differentiated segments in a very functional order, so the rider can get all the relevant data with the minimum of eye movement.

 

Brightness adjusts automatically (with the maximum luminous intensity of the screen being 1000 cd) and the rider can also choose from 8 brightness levels. Tire pressure is displayed as a numerical figure in the bottom left area of the instruments warns the rider quickly and clearly if tire pressures becomes sub-optimal.

 

Pride of place – on the centre console and Smart Key – is the Gold Wing emblem. Its crisp 3D, two-tone chrome design merges the strength and dignity of a lion’s head with the majestic wings of an eagle ready to pounce with open talons. It activates all the motorcycle’s systems and also incorporates the emergency key. The ignition and handlebar lock can be turned on or off while just carrying the Smart Key.

 

Total carrying capacity is 121L. Exclusively designed inner bags are available as an option. Luggage operation is simple. With the Smart Key present, a push button opens all of the boxes. It’s also possible to temporarily unlock via remote control; the unlock button on the Smart Key enables the passenger instant pannier access. Hydraulic dampers smooth the opening and closing. Pushing and holding the call button results in the indicators flashing.

 

The Gold Wing Tour is compatible with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, so the rider can utilise the personalised information and content inside their smartphone, such as telephone numbers and music playlists. Bluetooth connectivity has been adopted and there are two USB Type-C sockets to plug in to.

 

Lightweight speakers achieve superb sound quality with vivid presence. A passenger audio control switch is available to ensure an even more pleasant riding experience; the switches are located on the upper part of the right pannier and adjusting the volume, switching the source and fast forwarding is possible.

 

The navigation system is displayed on the 7-inch, full-colour TFT liquid crystal display screen in the central area of the instruments and includes a gyrocompass – which means guidance is continued even inside a tunnel. Cancellation of any waypoint or ‘go home’ instruction operation while riding is also possible. Maps are updated and also offer the possibility of entering up to 99 different waypoints for detailed journey planning.

 

The capacity of the fuel tank is 21 litres with fuel economy of 5.5litres/100km.

 

Chassis

 

  • Diecast, aluminium twin-beam frame
  • Double wishbone front suspension and Pro-Arm rear 
  • Front and rear damping level adjusts to suit riding mode selected
  • Rear spring preload electrically adjustable
  • ABS and Dual-Combined Braking System (D-CBS)

 

The Gold Wing Tour’s diecast, aluminium twin-beam frame is designed to package the engine in a tight space; its structural thickness is optimised in each area to deliver a smooth and stable ride, from walking speed upwards, whether on tight city streets or out on the open road.

 

Aside from moving the front wheel forward under full suspension compression, another benefit of the double wishbone front suspension is the reduction in sliding friction (from bump deflection and steering input) that a standard telescopic fork creates, as the stanchions travel up and down in the fork leg. Bearings are used in all shaft bush areas for steering and suspension stroke, further reducing friction.

 

The steering input – via the dual fork holders – is also separated from the suspension provided by the single shock absorber, and the Gold Wing Tour’s yaw moment make it nimble and easier to steer. In addition, patented steering cross tie-rods connect the handlebars to the front axle and the handlebar pivot, delivering an entirely natural feel to the rider.

 

Rake and trail are set at 30.5°/109mm, with wheelbase of 1695mm. The manual Gold Wing Tour weighs 385kg wet; the DCT version 390kg.

 

The Dual Combined Brake System (D-CBS) optimally distributes braking forces to the front and rear wheels. The use of a single, light circulation type ABS modulator – integrated with the brake ECU – keeps weight down within the braking system. It also operates in linkage with the current riding mode of choice, automatically adjusting the braking characteristics to the riding situation. Dual 320mm front discs are gripped by 6-piston calipers, the rear 316mm disc by a 3-piston caliper.

 

The Gold Wing Tour also benefits from a Pro-Arm swingarm, which attaches to the frame on its left side. The right side serves as a maintenance access. This allows much greater freedom of design and makes the machine easier to manage; it also contributes to stability. Pro-Link provides progressive suspension action and comfort while spherical joints are used throughout, cancelling out torsion.

 

Damping level adjusts electrically relative to riding mode. Stepper motors housed within the front and rear shock absorbers move needles to control oil flow, tailoring damping force for the riding situation. Rear spring preload is also electrically adjusted. Separate from the 4 riding modes, there are 4 settings of preload relative to load from soft to hard: single rider; rider with luggage; rider with pillion, and rider with pillion fully loaded with luggage. The setting is displayed on the TFT screen and adjusted via switch.

 

Engine

 

  • Horizontally opposed, flat six-cylinder SOHC 24-valve engine 
  • Throttle By Wire (TBW) with 4 rider modes to tailor power output
  • Honda Selectable Torque Control (HSTC)
  • Riding modes also manage HSTC, suspension damping and brake force
  • Hill Start Assist (HSA) 
  • 6-speed manual gearbox option with assist/slipper clutch and electric reverse

 

To realise the handling potential of the chassis – and maintain the addictive power delivery and feel that’s so much part of this icon’s appeal – the Gold Wing Tour’s 1,833cc engine was completely redrawn for its rebirth back in 2018. Still as a horizontally opposed flat six, but with four valves per cylinder rather than two, much more compact in size and 6.2kg lighter.

 

Peak power of 93kW arrives @ 5,500rpm, with peak torque of 170Nm delivered @ 4,500rpm. The bore size of 73mm matches the stroke of 73mm; the left and right cylinders are offset 4mm and the cylinder sleeves are aluminium. Compression ratio is set at 10.5:1.

 

The Unicam cylinder heads – the inlet valves are operated by finger-follower rocker arm, the exhaust valves by roller rocker arms – also employ a co-axial rocker-arm shaft for both inlet and exhaust.

 

The combustion chambers are a 4-valve ‘pentroof’ design with the inlet ports designed to promote ‘tumble’ flows inside the cylinders thus improving efficiency. The piston skirts wear a molybdenum coating to reduce friction. Throttle By Wire (TBW) engine management adds 4 rider modes to alter character and power delivery, linked to suspension damping and the Dual Combined Brake System (D-CBS):

 

TOUR mode is the base setting for comfort and power. It gives a direct 100% opening ratio between throttle grip and throttle body butterfly, with ‘default’ damping and front/rear brake force distribution.

 

SPORT serves up the highest throttle to butterfly ratio and delivers strong acceleration, with firmer damping and rear brake lever pressure.

 

ECON mode offers maximum fuel economy and easy cruising, with lower throttle to butterfly ratio and default damping and brake force.

 

RAIN turns the dial down to suit wet and slippery conditions, with lowest throttle to butterfly ratio, default braking force distribution and soft suspension damping.

 

Honda Selectable Torque Control (HSTC) also seamlessly monitors and maintains rear wheel traction, in all riding conditions, for an extra layer of riding confidence. Its level of input too adjusts via TBW relative to riding mode selection.

 

There are two air intake ducts sited front left and right rear. This structure generates swirling as the air is drawn in – the result is more effective use of the air filter’s entire surface area and reduction in resistance. The internal shaping of both ducts is optimised to align with the intake pulses of the engine’s low-rpm range, improving response and torque from smaller throttle openings. A single throttle body speeds up airflow and improves response.

 

To complement the engine’s deep bass signature the exhausts emit a powerful throb, without excessive noise. The cross-sectional areas of the exhaust pipes for two out of the six cylinders are reduced 20%, bringing the sound volume and depth.

 

The ISG (Integrated Starter Generator) combines the generator and starter motor into one component, with the generator effectively becoming the starter motor when supplied with reverse power. Its 2.4 kg lighter than a standard system. Helical gears are employed for the ISG driving gears, reducing mechanical noise.

 

Key characteristics of Idling Stop (on the DCT option) are the ultra-quiet start-up of the engine thanks to the use of ISG, and the smooth starting feeling achieved through a combination of DCT and TBW control. When stopping at a traffic light with Idling Stop on, the engine automatically stops after 3 seconds and, when restarting, the rider only needs to turn the throttle, which immediately starts the engine.

 

The system is controlled so that hydraulic oil pressure is applied in advance to the DCT line that activates the clutch when the engine starts, so the time lag from when the rider opens the throttle to movement is reduced. To curb any abruptness the TBW makes the throttle butterfly open gradually following the throttle opening – thus the smooth acceleration befitting of a Gold Wing Tour. Idling Stop can be turned ON or OFF from the right handlebar switch.

 

Hill starts on a conventional motorcycle often involve simultaneously releasing the brakes, opening the throttle and engaging the clutch according to the grade of the slope. To ease this effort, the Gold Wing Tour has Hill Start Assist (HSA) on both Manual and DCT versions.

After stopping on a slope, further squeezing the brake lever quickly results in the ABS modulator generating hydraulic pressure for the rear brake caliper. When setting off – even when the brake lever is released – the hydraulic pressure temporarily retains braking force (for about 3 seconds) so starting on the uphill slope with the throttle is possible. When in operation, the HSA indicator is switched on to inform the rider.

 

The 6-speed manual gearbox is also fitted with a ‘cam damper’ between the clutch and transmission, separating each inertial mass, reducing noise and improving shift quality/durability. A cam assist and slipper clutch (with fewer discs and reduced hydraulic friction in the release mechanism) replace the traditional hydraulic assist clutch. This reduces clutch load at the lever by 20% and also smooths downshifts; the slipper mechanism also contributes to the high-quality downshift feel. An electric reverse is a familiar feature from the previous design.
