The 2025 Honda Gold Wing marks the next chapter in Honda’s legendary touring motorcycle lineup. Known for its unbeatable comfort, smooth performance, and cutting-edge technology, the Gold Wing continues to evolve while keeping its iconic long-distance touring DNA intact. The new 2025 model refines every element — from design to technology — to make every journey smoother, smarter, and more thrilling.
A Modern and Refined Design
The 2025 Honda Gold Wing embraces a sleeker and more aerodynamic silhouette. Honda has fine-tuned the bodywork to improve airflow and reduce wind resistance, enhancing both performance and rider comfort.
The LED headlight cluster has been redesigned with sharper angles, providing a futuristic look while offering superior nighttime visibility. Chrome and blacked-out finishes blend elegance with sportiness, giving riders the best of both worlds.
At the rear, the taillight has a bolder LED pattern and the saddlebags have been slightly reshaped for better aerodynamics. New color options like Pearl Glare White, Graphite Black, and Deep Scarlet Red Metallic give the 2025 Gold Wing a commanding road presence.
Engine and Performance
The heart of the 2025 Honda Gold Wing remains its legendary 1,833cc liquid-cooled, horizontally opposed six-cylinder engine. It delivers smooth, effortless power with an output of around 125 horsepower and 170 Nm of torque.
Honda has fine-tuned the fuel injection system and throttle response for better low-end torque and smoother acceleration, particularly useful for city riding and overtaking on highways.
The 2025 model continues to offer two transmission choices:
- 7-speed Dual Clutch Transmission (DCT): Delivers seamless gear shifts, especially useful for long-distance touring.
- 6-speed Manual Transmission: For riders who prefer full control and a traditional riding feel.
Honda’s Integrated Starter Generator (ISG) ensures whisper-quiet startups and improved efficiency. Combined with the Throttle-by-Wire system and riding modes (Tour, Sport, Econ, and Rain), the Gold Wing adapts perfectly to any journey or weather condition.
Luxury Touring Comfort
Comfort is the foundation of the Gold Wing’s design. The 2025 Gold Wing’s seat features improved cushioning and revised ergonomics for both rider and passenger. The heated seats and grips come standard across all variants, ensuring all-weather comfort.
The electric windscreen offers multiple adjustment levels, allowing riders to customize wind protection on the go. Passenger comfort is also prioritized with larger grab handles, a wider backrest, and integrated armrests on the top-tier Tour model.
Additionally, the suspension system — featuring a double-wishbone front fork and Pro-Link rear suspension — provides exceptional ride quality, absorbing bumps and keeping the motorcycle stable even at high speeds.

Technology and Infotainment
The 2025 Gold Wing takes motorcycle infotainment to the next level. The 7-inch TFT color display remains at the center, now boasting improved brightness and faster software. It includes Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, Bluetooth connectivity, and navigation with real-time traffic updates.
Other smart tech highlights include:

An optional BOSE Premium Audio system is available on higher trims, providing concert-like sound clarity even during high-speed touring.
Storage and Practicality
The 2025 Honda Gold Wing offers generous luggage space. The top box can accommodate two full-face helmets, while the saddlebags offer over 60 liters of storage combined. All compartments are remotely lockable via the smart key system.
A new quick-access glove box near the dashboard adds convenience for small items like wallets or mobile phones.
Ride and Handling
Despite its large size, the 2025 Gold Wing is surprisingly agile. Honda’s engineers optimized weight distribution to improve cornering stability and balance. The low center of gravity and lightweight aluminum frame help the bike maintain smooth handling on winding roads or during low-speed maneuvers.
For improved braking performance, the motorcycle comes with Dual Combined Braking System (D-CBS) and ABS as standard. The Hill Start Assist feature remains a favorite among touring riders, especially on uphill starts.
Safety and Rider Assistance
Honda continues to lead in motorcycle safety innovation. The 2025 Gold Wing features the Honda Selectable Torque Control (HSTC) system, ensuring maximum grip on slippery surfaces.
Other safety technologies include:
- ABS and Linked Braking System
- Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
- Emergency Stop Signal (ESS) that flashes brake lights during sudden stops
- Adaptive Cruise Control (on select variants)
These systems combine to provide unmatched safety, giving riders confidence on every mile.
