Honda Gold Wing Tour Design
The Honda Gold Wing Tour retains the gargantuan stance of its predecessors, which makes it one of the largest motorcycles on sale in India in terms of overall size. However, at the same time, the motorcycle now looks much sleeker than ever before, thanks to an aerodynamic front fairing with dual all LED headlamp setup, adjustable front windshield, curvaceous looking fuel tank and large panniers on either side towards the rear. The pillion seat of the Honda Gold Wing Tour look very comfortable due to the presence of large cushioned backrest, which also accommodates additional luggage compartment beneath it.

The Honda Gold Wing Tour sources its power from a four stroke, flat six cylinder, liquid cooled, fuel injected, 1833cc engine, which happens to be the biggest motorcycle engine the Japanese two-wheeler major currently makes. The engine makes a maximum power output of 127.7 PS @ 5,500 rpm and 170 Nm @ 4,500 rpm. There are two transmission options one can have in the Honda Gold Wing Tour – while the base variant comes with the engine mated to a 6-speed manual gearbox, the more premium variant comes with the same engine coupled to a 7-speed dual clutch transmission.
