For more than 35 years, the Honda Gold Wing has stood alone at the forefront of the luxury touring class. One of the main reasons for this amazing bike's enduring appeal is its continual evolution – we never stop dreaming up new ways to make it better performing, more comfortable, safer, and more fun to ride. The 2012 Honda Gold Wing continues this remarkable legacy with a host of improvements. Its integrated GPS navigation system is now even more user-friendly, allowing you to share favourite routes with fellow riders via your home computer, or even bike to bike. The improved sound system incorporates a built-in MP3/iPod® interface and a new SRS CS Auto™ surround-sound technology for a premium listening experience. Upgraded styling, increased luggage capacity, greater protection from wind and weather, revised suspension settings for enhanced ride compliance, and possibly the greatest passenger accommodations ever... it all adds up to the most celebrated touring machine in motorcycle history.
