The Honda Gold Wing 2025 is more than just a motorcycle—it’s a statement for riders who crave long-distance comfort, luxury, and refined engineering. With a rich heritage spanning 50 years since the original GL1000, this flagship tourer has been updated with modern technology, powerful performance, and top-notch amenities to dominate India’s touring bike segment. Launched as the Tour 50th Anniversary Edition, it is priced at Rs. 39.90 lakh ex-showroom (Gurugram), making it a premium choice for those seeking the ultimate long-haul riding experience.
Striking Design and Dimensions
The Honda Gold Wing 2025 showcases a sophisticated retro-luxury design that emphasizes both style and stability. Measuring 2,612 mm in length, 925 mm in width, and 1,430 mm in height, it comes with a 1,690 mm wheelbase for maximum road-hugging stability. Weighing 390 kg kerb and offering 130 mm of ground clearance, this motorcycle glides effortlessly over highways while maintaining a planted feel on curves.
The 2025 Anniversary Edition comes in Bordeaux Red Metallic with elegant “Since 1975” badges, full-coverage fairings, and integrated luggage. Its 18-inch front and 16-inch rear alloy wheels, fitted with 130/70-18 and 200/55-16 tires, ensure consistent grip. While the seat height of 745 mm suits a wide range of riders, the low center of gravity and wide ergonomic seat enhance handling, making it perfect for long-distance touring rather than city commutes.
Comfortable, Tech-Rich Cockpit
Step onto the Honda Gold Wing 2025, and you’ll immediately notice the rider-focused cockpit. Heated and ventilated seats, floorboards, and upright handlebars create a throne-like position, minimizing fatigue on long rides. The 7-inch color TFT display provides clear information on speed, fuel, navigation, and riding modes, while Bluetooth connectivity integrates seamlessly with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay.
Additional features include USB-C charging ports, a 21.1L fuel tank hidden beneath the fairing, and an optional pillion backrest for two-up touring. Cruise control, multiple riding modes—Tour, Sport, Econ, and Rain—and low NVH (noise, vibration, and harshness) levels enhance the premium touring experience, allowing riders to enjoy long highway journeys with minimal strain.
Flat-Six Engine Performance
At the heart of the Gold Wing 2025 lies a liquid-cooled 1,833cc SOHC flat-six engine delivering 125 hp at 5,500 rpm and 170 Nm of torque at 4,500 rpm. Riders can choose between a 6-speed manual gearbox or Honda’s smooth DCT automatic transmission. Acceleration from 0-100 kmph takes just 5 seconds, with a top speed of 230 kmph, while fuel efficiency is rated at 14 kmpl (real-world 12-14 kmpl), allowing a range of 250-300 km per tank.
The flat-six engine offers abundant low-end torque, making overtakes effortless even with a fully loaded touring setup. Suspension comes from 130 mm travel double wishbone front forks and a 105 mm rear Pro-Arm swingarm, providing a balanced ride with minimal wallow in corners—perfect for highway cruising and winding mountain roads.
Advanced Safety Features
Safety is a top priority for long-distance touring, and the Honda Gold Wing 2025 delivers with dual Brembo disc brakes (320 mm front, 316 mm rear) with cornering ABS. Additional systems include traction control, wheelie mitigation, LED cornering lamps, TPMS (tire pressure monitoring system), and adaptive ride height that lowers the bike by 25 mm when stationary.
