It's only natural that a revolutionary machine such as the Goldwing should never rest on its laurels, striving instead to redefine its class at every opportunity. The Goldwing set yet another industry benchmark by introducing production motorcycling's first-ever Airbag System. Proof once again that when it comes to touring, the Goldwing stands alone at the top.
Super six, super smooth
The Goldwing is famous for being big. An engine filled with 1832cc's of flat-six cylinder action means that it will never leave you wanting more. Its smoothness and responsive handling will amaze you. The Goldwing's awesome power is kept under control by the multi-box-section dual-spar aluminium frame engineered to sharpen handling and improve the feel of the road without sacrificing the luxurious ride that the 'King of the Road' has been known for.
Home comforts
The Goldwing showers its rider with technical innovation and practical features creating a cosseted, lavish environment of comfort and serenity. Cruise control, a new slow-speed reverse operated by thumb controls and a new ratchet windscreen for optimum riding comfort - the Goldwing is the ultimate in sheer luxury.
No expense spared
The Goldwing boasts all the latest equipment - from fuel injection, an emission-control system and ABS braking with Honda's Dual Combined Braking System to the new instrument panel with LCD display. The comforts don't just stop at the rider. Computer- controlled rear suspension with two memory settings ensures pillion comfort at all times.
A world of luxury
There's no need to worry about luggage capacity. The twin panniers and remote locking luggage trunk can carry up to 147 litres and the trunk can also house an optional CD changer that works in conjunction with the Goldwing's multiplex stereo system. For peace of mind there's also Honda's Ignition Security System (HISS) to make sure no one makes off with your pride and joy.
The ultimate
Riding the flagship Goldwing has never been so effortless, relaxing or rewarding, leaving all other tourers behind as it glides effortlessly on to its next adventure.
