2021 Honda Gold Wing

Honda Australia welcomes 2021 with news of updates to its seminal touring flagship, the GL1800 Gold Wing. The updated model is expected to land in Australia late March but pricing is yet to be set.

2021 Honda Gold Wing

The Gold Wing was redrawn from the ground up for 2018, becoming much lighter, sleeker and more agile, while still benefitting from the avalanche of torque provided by a monumental flat six-cylinder 1800cc engine, and adding a host of new features to cement its reputation as a technological flagship, including a 7-speed Dual Clutch Transmission.

Honda Gold Wing Review

For 2021, both the Gold Wing and Gold Wing ‘Tour Premium’ receive upgrades to audio and speaker quality. 

2021 Honda Gold Wing

The Gold Wing now comes in a contemporary new Pearl Deep Mud Grey colour scheme, with orange accents on the front fender, engine cover, headlight surround, fuel tank and rear section.

2021 Honda Gold Wing

From the more traditional touring direction, the Gold Wing ‘Tour Premium’ has enhanced long distance practicality and comfort. Top box capacity is increased to 61 litres, enough for two large full-face helmets, and it now features a luxurious suede/synthetic leather seat cover and a more relaxed angle for the pillion back rest. 

2021 Honda Gold Wing

Gold Wing ‘Tour Premium’ will be available in two colour options: Gunmetal Black Metallic and Candy Ardent Red.
