2016 Honda® Gold Wing Audio Comfort

No motorcycle has changed the concept of touring like the Honda Gold Wing®. A horizontally opposed engine offering power, performance and perfect smoothness. Shaft final drive. A chassis designed for day–long comfort. And over the last four decades, the Gold Wing® has just gotten better and better, and touring riders have had it better and better too—full-coverage bodywork, bigger engines, more cylinders, better chassis, more power, integrated luggage.

Take a week off—or even just a weekend. Pack up the Gold Wing®’s saddlebags. Settle in behind that full–coverage windshield and bodywork. And point it down the road to someplace you’ve never been.

Or plan your lifetime trip, and program it in to the Gold Wing®’s available navi system. You see, the Gold Wing® doesn’t dictate how or where you ride—it lets you live the dream, and lets you take a lucky passenger along too.

• 1832cc Liquid-Cooled, Fuel-Injected Engine

The Gold Wing®’s fuel-injected, horizontally opposed six-cylinder engine is exceptionally smooth and incredibly powerful. The horizontally opposed “flat” six-cylinder design offers a lower center of gravity for an improved ride and a lighter handling feel.

• Pro-Arm Rear Swingarm

The Gold Wing®’s MotoGP-inspired single-sided cast-aluminum swingarm is super-rigid and lightweight with reduced unsprung weight, delivering sharper, sportier handling. Its unique Pro-Arm® design mates up with Honda's patented Pro-Link® rear suspension, featuring electronically adjustable hydraulic preload settings for various riding and load conditions.

• Improved Ride Quality

Suspension settings revised through repeated testing and your feedback are a part of the reason your Gold Wing® offers handling that can put many a sportbike to shame. Gold Wings® have always offered the best overall handling of any touring machine, but these settings really improve things when you decide to dial it up a notch.

• Adjustable Windscreen

Our sturdy, ratcheting windscreen adjustment system provides six settings over nearly four inches of travel.

• XM® Satellite Radio/Weather/Traffic

Want to listen to the radio you want, no matter where you ride? With our XM-equipped models you get a free 90-day trial subscription included with your XM-equipped Gold Wing®. This was the first integrated implementation of satellite radio on a motorcycle, and still offers the most features, including traffic (XM NavTraffic) and weather (XM NavWeather) in addition to regular XM programs. (Separate subscription required after 90-day trial.)

• Lockable Glovebox

Non-airbag models also get a center-mounted lockable glove box for added convenience, boosting the cockpit area storage capacity to 2.8 liters.

• Heated Grips/Seat

Heated grips, a heated rider’s seat and a heated passenger seat/backrest, all with individual rider and passenger controls. There’s even a foot-warming system for cold mornings!

• Airbag

The airbag-equipped Gold Wing® boasts the industry's first (and only) production motorcycle airbag system. The motorcycle’s fork incorporates two sensors to detect a frontal impact. Perhaps someday all motorcycles may offer this feature, but right now only a Gold Wing® gives you this choice.
