2026 Honda Gold Wing® Base

2026 Honda® Gold Wing

Enjoy touring excellence with a torquey 1833cc horizontally opposed six-cylinder, smooth-handling double-wishbone front suspension, and optional 7-speed automatic DCT gearbox.

Features may include:

• Six-speed manual transmission

If you prefer a manual transmission, the latest model offers the best conventional gearbox in Gold Wing history. A case in point is an overdrive sixth gear, so highway cruising is smoother than ever.

• Ride modes

The engine offers a wide range of user-friendly power, and you can even choose between four ride modes (Tour, Sport, Rain, and Econ), with each mode varying the power output so you can tailor the bike to your current riding conditions.

• Hill Start Assist

All models offer Hill Start Assist (HSA). This feature momentarily holds your motorcycle’s position on inclines after you’ve released the brakes and before you apply the throttle, eliminating any roll-back.

• Anti-Lock Braking System

All models are equipped with our combined Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS) for excellent stopping power on a wide variety of road and traction conditions.

• Low center of gravity

It’s not just how much a motorcycle weighs; it’s how it distributes that weight that translates to good handling. With its horizontally opposed engine, the latest model offers the lowest center of gravity of any bike in the class.

• Cruise control

It still features cruise control (it was one of the first touring bikes to offer the feature). And with our advanced throttle-by-wire system, it’s better than ever.

• Electric windscreen

The windscreen is electrically controlled and provides excellent protection from the elements. It moves up and down over a 4.9-inch range and changes its angle as it raises and lowers. Plus, it automatically remembers the last setting.

• Honda SMART key

It features an electronic smart key. When the key is in close proximity, you can hop on, press a button, and ride off. An “answer back” feature lets you find your bike in the dark or in a crowded rally parking lot.

• Heated grips

Part of riding a bike is enjoying the elements. But nobody likes being cold. That’s why all models come equipped with electric heated grips as standard equipment.
