*Four crash sensors attached two per side on the front fork detect changes in acceleration caused by frontal impacts.
*From the moment an impact is recognized as a collision, only 0.015 seconds elapses until the airbag inflation is activated.
*Airbag available only on full-featured version.
 
A complete line of bolt-on accessories and appearance items.
 
Engine/Drivetrain
 
*Powerful fuel-injected 1832cc six-cylinder engine produces smooth, effortless power--118 bhp and 125 lb./ft. of torque--while surpassing the California Air Resources Board (CARB) 2008 emissions standards.
 
*Low, forward engine placement and solid engine-mounting produce excellent road handling characteristics and impressive low-speed maneuverability.
 
*High-pressure-formed, sintered-iron Nickalloy crankshaft bearing caps provide quiet operation throughout the engine’s operating-temperature range.
 
*Parallel two-valve cylinder-head design utilizes direct shim-under-bucket valve actuation and requires no 600-mile service; the first valve clearance inspection is at 32,000 miles.
 
*Silent-type camshaft chains with automatic adjusters provide reliable, maintenance-free operation.
 
*Two 40mm-diameter throttle bodies deliver air to six specially designed Keihin 50-psi high-pressure programmed fuel injectors (PGM-FI). Fuel is delivered through four nozzle holes in each injector, producing an atomized fuel mixture that is highly combustible for optimum efficiency and power.
 
*Electronic control unit (ECU) provides two digital 3-D fuel-injection maps for each cylinder and one digital 3-D ignition map for each cylinder, creating ideal fuel mixture and spark advance settings for superb rideability. Unique knock-control sensors monitor ignition advance to improve performance throughout the entire rpm range.
 
*ECU closed-loop emissions system utilizes two oxygen sensors to constantly deliver a precise air/fuel mixture, while two exhaust catalyzers further reduce emissions of carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons and nitrogen oxides.
 
*Rotary Air Control Valve (RACV) maintains precise idle control under widely varying engine loads and operating temperatures.
 
*Compact water pump is mounted behind the engine and is driven directly by the crankshaft, contributing to quicker engine warm-up.
 
*Engine cooling system features a series-flow coolant pattern that offers cold-start rideability and provides rapid engine warm-up.
 
*Two side-mounted radiators enhance cooling efficiency and use low-air-pressure areas created by side cowls to draw cooling air through the radiators and beyond the rider at highway speeds.
 
*Sturdy eight-plate clutch with maintenance-free hydraulic-assist.
 
*Efficient stainless-steel six-into-two exhaust system produces a pleasing, powerful sound.
 
*Powerful 1300-watt alternator uses a fluid damper system to minimize alternator noise.
 
*Precise-shifting five-speed transmission includes Overdrive Fifth.
 
Chassis/Suspension
 
*The innovative aluminum frame is specifically engineered for optimum rigidity with tuned flex.
 
This combination of rigidity and flexibility produces excellent handling, superb riding comfort and wonderful road feel.
 
*Inherently smooth flat-six-cylinder Gold Wing  engine also serves as a tuned stressed frame member. The solid engine-mounting system
utilizes specially designed hangers and carefully matched mounting bolts to provide both excellent road feel and minimal engine vibration.
 
*The Gold Wing’s rigid Pro Arm® single-side cast-aluminum swingarm provides simplified servicing of the rear wheel and tire while ensuring optimum handling.
 
*Dual full-floating 296mm front discs with Linked Braking System™ (LBS™) three-piston calipers and a single ventilated 316mm rear disc with one LBS three-piston caliper provide excellent braking power.
 
*Honda’s LBS features a second master cylinder and a three-stage proportional control valve to couple the three-piston calipers of the dual-front and single-rear brake discs. Using the front brake lever activates the outer two pistons of the front right-side caliper and the center piston of the front left-side caliper and, acting through the secondary master cylinder and an inline proportioning valve, the outer two pistons of the rear caliper. The rear brake pedal operates the center piston of the rear brake caliper, the center piston of the front right-side brake caliper and the outer two pistons of the front left-side caliper. A delay valve sensitive to the rider’s pedal pressure smooths front-brake engagement.
 
*Model equipped with ABS features an electric-motor-driven modulator that provides rapid and precise braking-pressure adjustments, resulting in smooth ABS operation. The system incorporates an integrated ECU, self-diagnostics with an interactive ECU test function and automatic protection against system failure.
 
*Massive 45mm front fork houses a cartridge damper in the right leg with 5.5 inches of travel for a smooth yet superb ride in all road conditions.
 
*Antidive system minimizes front fork dive when braking. The system utilizes brake fluid pressure generated in the secondary LBS master cylinder mounted on the left fork leg and is activated by input from either the front brake lever or the rear brake pedal. This application of antidive and LBS produces enhanced stability when maneuvering at both low speeds and highway speeds.
 
*Pro-Link®-mounted rear shock provides 4.1 inches of plush travel for relaxed touring or sport riding.
 
*Computer-controlled adjustable hydraulic rear suspension preload is easily set by the rider with push-button controls, and features a two-position memory.
 
*Unique driveshaft-damping system utilizes a double-pipe structure with a rubber-bonded coating applied to the inner pipe to absorb road shock and engine torque. The long-life design simplifies rear-wheel maintenance.
 
*Final gearcase assembly design in the Pro Arm eliminates wheel alignment splines and ensures accurate alignment of the rear wheel after servicing.
 
*Cast-aluminum 18 x 3.5-inch front wheel and 16 x 5.0-inch rear wheel are lightweight and strong. Radial touring tires are specifically engineered for the Gold Wing, providing a combination of excellent traction, cornering grip and long tire life.
 
Touring Features
 
*The parallel two-valve cylinder-head design, together with side-mounted radiators, allows optimum ergonomics, with excellent rider foot room and a large passenger cockpit.
 
*Slow-speed electric Reverse system is engaged with the simple push of the thumb controls on the right handlebar.
 
*Lightweight electronic cruise-control system utilizes a 16-bit ECU-controlled, motor-actuated throttle mechanism.
 
*The Gold Wing’s aerodynamic bodywork is functional as well as beautiful, providing excellent rider wind protection while reducing the aerodynamic drag coefficient.
n -A simple yet ingenious ratcheting windscreen-adjustment system provides six settings over nearly 4 inches of travel. Operated manually, the mechanism eliminates the weight and complexity of electric motors.
