Riders all across the globe dream of owning a Honda Gold Wing. Because they know it’s a machine that can make your riding dreams come true. Of course there’s the Gold Wing’s list of features, second to none in the touring-bike community. But most of all it’s just because the Honda Gold Wing sets the standards in just about every touring category: comfort, reliability, performance, handling, and passenger accommodations. In addition to its sleek bodywork, integrated luggage and horizontally opposed six-cylinder engine, we recently updated the audio and navigation systems, and added integrated iPod® connectivity and the ability to upload trips to the navi system from your home computer.
For 2013 Models, we're bringing back the iconic Ultra Blue Metallic paint scheme and adding three dynamic new colors: Candy Red, Grey Metallic, and Light Silver Metallic!
For nearly three decades, the Honda Gold Wing has been the ultimate motorcycle for two-up long-distance travel and the 2013 Honda Gold Wing continues this legacy. In addition to its renowned powerful and smooth engine and remarkably sporty handling, no other motorcycle can match the Honda Gold Wing luxury accommodations for both rider and passenger, including the latest generation of sophisticated electronic amenities such as an innovative user-friendly navigation system with the capability to share favorite ride routes with friends and other riders.
