More dynamic exterior styling
As befits the Gold Wing’s status as an aerodynamically refined touring powerhouse, the new model has revised exterior styling. Bold, integrated lines better link the front and rear of the machine, communicating its elegance and performance with sharp, dynamic forms. The re-shaped rear light further adds to the distinctive new look.

Improved wind protection
Months of both wind tunnel tests and Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) research has helped create a new front fairing with increased wind and weather protection.

Enhanced chassis stability and improved ride quality
Changes to the shape of the rear bodywork include air vents that help to reduce the area of negative pressure that forms at the back of the bike, improving stability at speed.


At the same time, adjustments to the suspension front and rear give a superb ride quality without sacrificing control.

Increased luggage capacity
Larger panniers mean the Gold Wing’s total luggage capacity is now over 150 litres.

Surround sound audio system with iPod® connectivity
The adoption of a new 6-speaker 80W SRS surround-sound system offers superb sound presence and quality.

Riders can now play MP3, WMA and AAC music files on the move by connecting an iPod®, iPhone® or USB stick. The result is easy access to any track you wish to hear.

Navigation system (installed only on models with airbag)
The new, fully-integrated system with brighter screen includes a next-generation receiver for greater reception sensitivity for more reliable navigation.

Dragonwing (13-09-2011): Sadly for me, with longer legs, the unfortunate placement of the saddle relative to the boxer-style engine again means that I'll be sitting on my balls and won't be able to ride the bike for more than abut an hour without being in agony. Seen it, done it, got the T-shirt. No thanks, again, Honda.
remasy (14-09-2011): Hey DragonWing!

Are you that big

admin (14-09-2011): Dragonwing: the only guy I know who had troubles with his legs and the Gold wingis 7feet tall. Are you that tall?
didart (15-09-2011): Another Goldwing, nothing that new...

About www.motorcyclists-online.com English version:
At the beginning, in 2001, www.motorcyclists-online.com was an exclusive French Motorcycle website. Now, since September 2005, it has become bilingual: English speaking people are welcome !
We do believe, at www.motorcyclists-online.com, that linguistic boundaries are not a problem when we share the same passion for bikes.
We are currently working on translating all articles and contents, to finish the UK/US version. You will certainly notice some bugs or translation errors: please do not hesitate to advise us by e-mail, Private Message or by posting in the Forum. Your help is welcome !
For the moment, articles which haven’t been human translated are automatically machine translated, which I must confess is not really famous, but faster than human translators.
