6 CYLINDER ENGINE
The legendary, horizontally-opposed, 1,833cc six-cylinder engine is smooth and powerful. The Unicam® cylinder head design improves engine performance and power, while the four-valve per cylinder design is a big part of the Goldwing’s superior fuel efficiency.
DOUBLE WISHBONE FRONT SUSPENSION
The innovative design changes the path the wheel travels through the suspension stroke and allows the engine and the rider to be closer to the front wheel. You get more room and stellar handling, with supple bump absorption, reduced sliding friction and sharp steering accuracy.

RIDE MODES
There are four default riding mode settings: TOUR, SPORT, ECON and RAIN to cover multiple riding conditions and situations. Each mode alters character and power delivery, Honda Selectable Torque Control input and ABS parameters.
DUAL CLUTCH TRANSMISSION
Honda’s revolutionary DCT will transform your riding experience. It eliminates clutch levers, stalling, and the need for you to shift, while also giving you complete control to select gears if you want to. DCT also allows you to focus more on your riding line, braking points, cornering and acceleration. Further benefits include reduced fatigue, low stress urban riding, and best of all, it lets you focus on the most rewarding parts of your ride.
REVERSE AND WALKING MODE
Walking Mode lets you creep forward and reverse at a walking pace just by operating the buttons on the left handlebar switch. Think how easy it will be to get in and out of tight parking spots with a fully loaded bike.
ABS & D-CBS
Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) is standard on both front and rear wheels. The Dual Combined Brake System (D-CBS) optimally distributes braking forces to the front and rear wheels. It also operates according to the selected ride mode, automatically adjusting the braking characteristics to the riding situation.
