The 2025 Honda Gold Wing marks a milestone: it celebrates 50 years since the original Gold Wing first debuted in 1975. For half a century, the Gold Wing platform has defined what a luxury touring motorcycle can be, balancing smooth power, comfort, long-distance capability, and refinement. The 2025 update brings both tribute-worthy styling and modern upgrades, so riders get the heritage and the technology together.
This version is offered worldwide, and in India, the 2025 Gold Wing Tour (50th Anniversary Edition) was officially launched in 2025 via the company’s premium dealership network
What’s New in the 2025 Model
Special 50th Anniversary Styling
To mark the 50-year legacy, the 2025 Gold Wing gets signature touches:
- A special “50th Anniversary” badge and “Since 1975” emblem on the instrument cluster — visible when you start the bike.
- Dedicated paint and livery options: for the Tour version, you get colours like Bordeaux Red Metallic and Eternal Gold that pay homage to past classic Gold Wings. For the standard Gold Wing (non-Tour), a Matte Black Metallic finish with bold Gold Wing logos on saddlebags and side fairings.
- Early buyers of the anniversary edition also receive commemorative gifts — a hardbound book chronicling the 50-year history, and a 1:12 scale desktop model showing the 1975 and 2025 Gold Wings side by side.
These touches make the 2025 Gold Wing not just a means of transport, but a collector-worthy tribute to Honda’s touring legacy.
Performance, Engine and Mechanical Highlights
Underneath its classy exterior, the 2025 Gold Wing remains the powerhouse and smooth tourer fans expect:
- The heart of the bike is a 1,833 cc horizontally opposed flat-six engine, known for smooth delivery and strong torque — ideal for long highway rides and heavy loads.
- The chassis uses a double-wishbone front suspension. This design enhances stability and handling, making a heavy touring bike more manageable and confidence-inspiring, especially at speed or over long rides.
- Transmission options remain flexible: standard versions may come with a manual gearbox or the sophisticated dual-clutch transmission (DCT) for easier, smoother shifting.
Overall, the 2025 Gold Wing continues its legacy as a refined, powerful, and comfortable long-distance motorcycle.
Technology & Comfort Upgrades
To match modern expectations, the 2025 Gold Wing adds a suite of tech and comfort features:
- A 7.0-inch full-colour TFT display for navigation, ride data and media. On startup, it shows a welcome message referencing the Gold Wing’s 50-year legacy.
- Wireless connectivity for both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, making it easier to link your phone for navigation, music or calls — without cables.
- Dual USB Type-C ports, Bluetooth, upgraded speaker/audio system — handy for touring riders who rely on gadgets.
- Full LED lighting, aerodynamic vents, modern cockpit ergonomics — all tuned for comfort and safety over long rides.
- Advanced safety and assist features: dual-channel ABS, traction control, throttle-by-wire, and on select variants, even an airbag — underscoring its status as a premium, safety-oriented tourer.
With these, the 2025 Honda Gold Wing offers a seamless blend of luxury, comfort, and connectivity — appealing to riders who want a fully modern touring experience.
