Honda Gold Wing description

2005 Honda Gold Wing, JUST GOT BACK WITH MY NEW TRIKE KITThe Honda Goldwing is an iconic touring motorcycle from the world s largest motorcycle manufacturer, Honda motorcycles. The Honda Gold Wing began its life a 999cc Flat-Four in 1975 and over more than a quarter century has developed into the 1832cc Flat-Six produced today. The Goldwing is Honda s flagship motorcycle touring platform. As such the Wing often showcases the latest in Honda technology, like ABS; but perhaps the most notable example in recent years is the Gold Wing s optional air bag the first motorcycle to offer the safety feature on a production unit. Current Honda Gold Wings offer options for integrated GPS and full audio systems, and all the touring goodies hard-core two-wheeled trekkers need. The Gold Wing also offers a reverse gear, helpful in backing up the claimed 895-928-lb curb weight (total weight dependent on optional accessories). The overall performance, combined with Honda s reputation for reliability, make the Honda Gold Wing an incredibly popular model enjoying a strong, enthusiastic following. It s not uncommon to find those ancient Wings from the 70s and 80s still rolling strong with a gentlemen of graying hair at the helm. Our encounters with the Honda Gold Wing have surprised us with the big Wing s unexpected agility for its gigantic proportions. The Flat Six powerplant is a potent base for the Gold Wing and incredible wind protection and rider comfort cement its place as the epitome of a touring motorcycle. -30th Anniversary Edition
