2021 Honda Gold Wing
Honda’s
world-class tourer gets improved comfort, more cargo space and upgraded
infotainment
Markham,
ON. January 5, 2021 - Engineered to become the “King of
Motorcycles,” Honda’s original Gold Wing quickly adapted to life on the open
road, its earliest successors helping to shape the modern touring category
through a combination of unparalleled power, comfort and ride quality.
In the subsequent
generations, the machine evolved because of the way motorcyclists used it, and
for 2021, that trend continues with updates geared toward extended experiences
and increased comfort.
Key to the enhanced
experience is increased luggage capacity and improved passenger comfort for
Gold Wing Tour models, along with platform-wide updates like a new seat, audio
equipment and body trim.
NEW FOR 2021
Since
an all-new platform in 2018, the Gold Wing has enjoyed focused upgrades, with
navigation software updates followed closely by styling- and comfort-minded
features including reshaped passenger grab handles, blacked-out components,
updated suspension settings, a saddlebag-mounted USB charger and standard fog
lights for all Tour models.
The
2021 Gold Wing further expands on the goal, with updates aimed at even greater
comfort and convenience.
