2026 Honda® Gold Wing Tour

From its famously smooth 1833 cc six-cylinder Gold Wing Tour engine, refined bodywork for added weather protection, and ample luggage, this touring motorcycle is full of innovative engineering.

Features may include:

• Hill Start Assist

Getting going when you’re stopped on an hill can be challenging, but not with the Gold Wing’s standard Hill Start Assist (HSA). This feature momentarily holds (3 seconds) 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, allowing smoother uphill launches and more rider confidence.

• Six-Speed Manual Transmission

The Gold Wing is equipped with an advanced six-speed manual transmission with overdrive and electric low-speed reverse function. You get silky smooth and crisp shifting and effortless highway cruising – just what you’d expect from a motorcycle this sophisticated.

• Advanced Ride Technology

Throttle-by-wire contributes to the Gold Wing’s stellar throttle response and smooth power delivery. Open road ahead? Standard electronic cruise control helps to make the ride even more relaxing.

• Selectable Riding Modes

Switch between four Selectable Riding Modes to easily find the power and performance to match your preferred riding style or the road conditions. Choose between Sport, Tour, Econ or Rain modes to automatically adjust throttle response, and braking characteristics.

• Handy Reverse

The Gold Wing with manual transmission offers a unique electric low-speed reverse function. This system makes it easy to manoeuvre your motorcycle out of a parking space, especially if you need to roll it uphill.

• Assist Slipper Clutch

We’ve given our manual-transmission Gold Wings an assist slipper clutch, just like our premium sportbikes. It only makes sense – the 1,833 cc engine delivers tons of power, and the chassis lets you ride this Gold Wing like a sportbike. Twisty roads? Bring ’em on!

• Smooth, Responsive Power

The Honda Gold Wing Tour gets its impressive power from an 1,833 cc horizontally opposed six-cylinder engine with four-valve Unicam® cylinder head design. Not only does this advanced engine produce loads of power from way down low in the rev range, it delivers that power in an incredibly smooth and responsive manner.

Honda Selectable Torque Control (HSTC)

• 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, on sandy, gritty roads, over wet leaves, or anywhere else where surface conditions can compromise traction.

• Walking Speed Modes

All Gold Wings with DCT transmissions feature forward/reverse Walking Speed modes that allow you to creep forward or reverse under power using the DCT system combined with the Shift Down and Shift Up levers. Walking Speed modes move the motorcycle at approximately 1.8 km/h forward and 1.2 km/h backward. Think how easy it will be to get in and out of tight parking spots with a fully loaded bike, especially if you need to roll back uphill.

• 7-Speed Dual-Clutch Transmission (DCT)

The Gold Wing Tour DCT incorporates Honda’s revolutionary 7-Speed Automatic Dual-Clutch Transmission, which takes the joy of riding to the next level by automating clutch and shift operation while retaining the direct feel of a manual transmission. DCT lets you take in the scenery and focus on your ride rather than which gear you should be in.
