2023 GL1800D Gold Wing Tour DCT THE
GOLD STANDARD OF TOURING BIKES
The
open road is calling, and it always has been. Humans are just hard-wired to
explore, to want to see what’s over the horizon. Every motorcyclist knows the
feeling. And one motorcycle makes it happen better than any other: the Honda
Gold Wing. All four Gold Wing trim levels this year get updated highlight
strips and colors, as well as a navigation-system map update. But the best
parts remain the famously smooth 1833cc six-cylinder engine, refined bodywork
for weather protection, and ample luggage. Full of innovative engineering, all
Gold Wing models are Android Auto compatible, as well as offering Apple CarPlay
compatibility. You can choose between a conventional six-speed transmission and
our exclusive Honda automatic seven-speed DCT transmission, depending on the
model. So go ahead—isn’t it time you experience the gold standard of touring
bikes?
Features include:
PERFORMANCE
ENGINE
The
Gold Wing’s horizontally opposed six-cylinder engine is famously smooth and
powerful. The latest version is an 1833cc design that’s over 13 pounds lighter
than the previous generation (more than 8 pounds for the DCT versions).
ALUMINUM
CYLINDER SLEEVES
High-strength
aluminum cylinder sleeves help reduce weight, increase cooling efficiency, and
reduce engine length. The 73mm cylinder bore as well as the short,
high-strength crankshaft help make the engine more compact.
HANDLING
DOUBLE
WISHBONE FRONT SUSPENSION
One
look and your eyes will immediately go to the Gold Wing’s radical,
Honda-engineered double-wishbone front suspension. The innovative design lets
us move both the engine and the rider/passenger closer to the front wheel,
giving you more room for added comfort as well as stellar handling.
FRAME
This
latest generation all-aluminum frame is significantly lighter and more compact
than previous editions. State-of-the-art die-casting lets us fine-tune chassis
rigidity, giving you both a smooth ride and precise handling.
ELECTRONICS
ADVANCED
METERS
The
Gold Wing’s cockpit meters are information central. In addition to the basics
like vehicle and engine speed, loading configuration, ride mode, fuel level,
engine temperature and dual tripmeters, you can also monitor outside air
temperature, cruise control speed, heater levels, and even selected apps linked
through Apple CarPlay on an iPhone or Android Auto on an Android phone.
HomeLink
Available
as an optional feature, HomeLink lets you integrate your new Gold Wing with
devices in your home. A typical example: you can open your home’s garage door
without any dedicated controller just touch a switch on your bike’s center
console. No more fumbling, and no hassle.
ENGINEERING
THROTTLE
BY WIRE
The
2023 Gold Wing’s throttle-by-wire system enables features like the bike’s four
ride modes and our exclusive Honda Selectable Torque Control (HSTC), available
on all Gold Wing models for 2023.
HILL
START ASSIST
Both
the Gold Wing and Gold Wing Tour models feature Hill Start Assist (HSA). This
feature momentarily holds your motorcycle’s position on inclines after you’ve
released the brakes and before you apply the throttle, eliminating any
roll-back drama. It’s a great convenience when starting from a stop on a hill.
COMFORT
AND CARGO
LARGER
TRUNK
The
Gold Wing’s trunk holds 61 liters. That means in most cases you can get two
full-face helmets in there. Combined, the trunk and saddlebags give you 121
liters of storage, plenty to hold what you need for a weekend’s travels. For inquires please contact our sales team at 888-753-0405.
