2018 Honda Gold Wing: five shades of ultimate tourer

When you think about longer trips on two wheels or daily commuting that takes more than an hour one way, you think about Honda Gold Wing. The new generation has been redesigned from the ground up to bring you more technology, comfort, and necessary upgrades. You can pick and choose five different trim levels and just a few colors. It all starts from $23,5K MSRP price tag and you can easily option one to $35K, which would include dual clutch transmission and airbags. Honda Gold Wing is powered by a liquid-cooled 1833cc 6-cylinder engine that’s producing 118HP and 123 lb-ft of torque. Looks: touring, yet sophisticated In my opinion, styling-wise the Honda Gold Wing looks absolutely unique because of the Honda/Acura style headlights that we all know from the manufacturer’s four-wheel lineup. Plus, the Gold Wing has the most beautiful taillights! Our test bike, 2018 Honda Gold Wing Tour with DCT, was presented in the beautiful Candy Ardent Red. Located on the perfect spot even for taller riders, side mirrors help you to understand how much space you need to fit in between the lines with your saddlebags while you’re lane-splitting. A lot of thought has been put into aerodynamics, and with the taller adjustable windscreen, you can ride 70 MPH with an open wiser. A very major change has been done to the front fork that almost completely eliminates “nose dive-in” on the newer models thanks to the new double-wishbone front suspension. Being mostly on sports bikes before, my first thought while riding a bike without the clutch lever was, “Is there something missing? Broken?!” Until you try one, you won’t understand why the whole world has been “broken.” Just think about it: this dual-clutch 7-speed transmission makes your life easier, allowing you to stop at the red light and let your hands off the handlebars. The bike won’t go anywhere. No need to hold the brake. No need to shift to neutral or try to quickly get to first gear when someone behind you feels they’re on a drag strip. You can enjoy the world without the clutch lever because you’re riding a touring bike that’s been built for comfort, and DCT in this case delivers. #HondaGoldWing #GoldWing Read more at http://www.mychinews.com/motorcycles/2018-honda-gold-wing-five-shades-of-ultimate-tourer
