The touring machine from Honda gets a few changes for 2020. Among other things, the engine was revised.

Update for the Honda Gold Wing

The injection system of the engine and the dual-clutch transmission (DTC) has been revised. This should improve driving, especially at walking pace. The DTC is now also available as an option for the standard version of the Gold Wing.

In the variant “Tour” now fog lights are part of the standard equipment. The chassis has been optimized and should now offer more comfort, especially on long tours. The pillion seat was equipped with larger handles.

Both models will be equipped with two USB interfaces in the future.

In addition to the already available colors, there will also be the variants “Matte Ballistic Black Metallic” for the basic model with DCT and “Pearl Glare White” for the tour variant with DCT and airbag.
