In terms of features, the 2025 Gold Wing is equipped with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, improved speaker systems, and a 7-inch TFT display that now includes a welcome message reading “since 1975.” Additional features include two USB Type-C ports, a built-in airbag system, a tyre pressure monitoring system, a throttle-by-wire (TBW) system and four riding modes: Tour, Sport, Econ, and Rain.
First launched as the GL1000 in 1975, the Honda Gold Wing has evolved significantly over the decades. The current model sports a sleek design, updated tech, and a lot more. Powering the motorcycle is a 1,833cc flat-six engine with SOHC heads and four valves per cylinder. This engine belts out 124.7 bhp at 5,500 rpm and 170 Nm of torque at 4,500 rpm. It is mated to a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission (DCT), which also includes a convenient creep forward and back function for low-speed manoeuvring.
