Honda Gold Wing: The Ultimate Tourer

Are you ready to start taking longer hauls on your bike? Have a few days off and want to see how far you can get? Make sure you ride on the world's ULTIMATE tourer: the Honda Gold Wing. Honda's king of cruisers has a lot to offer in reliable and comfortable touring, and not to mention enough juice under the seat to keep you giddy with it's ability to perform.  Here's a look at what the latest favorite tourer has to offer: the 2012 Honda Gold Wing.

- The Gold Wing’s available fully integrated GPS navigation system features a new lane-guidance feature, junction view, a new GPS receiver that captures satellite signals faster, and a new color LCD screen.

- The Gold Wing’s new design features a dynamic flow line linking the front to the rear, and a new, integrated tail light and rear saddlebag treatment. A redesigned front fascia and blacked-out headlights add styling touches.

- Redesigned bodywork also means increased saddlebag capacity. Non-airbag models also get a new center-mounted lockable glovebox for added convenience, boosting the cockpit-area storage capacity to 2.8 liters.

- Now you can connect a compatible Apple® iPod® player or other USB mass storage device, such as flash drives that contain MP3, WMA6 or AAC music files, and control them through the Gold Wing’s audio controls.

- The new seat cover and urethane seat-cover material is more comfortable, waterproof and features a new, sportier, custom perforated look.

- Revised suspension settings front and rear yield added compliance for a better ride and more comfort.

- The 2012 Gold Wing’s new layered-surface bodywork offers more wind and weather protection around the rider and passenger’s lower legs, so you’ll experience less buffeting and more warmth on cool days.

- A new SRS CS Auto™ surround-sound system is tuned exclusively for the Gold Wing and produces a rich, three-dimensional sound brimming with realism.
