Honda Motorcycle & Scooter India Pvt Ltd. (HMSI) opens bookings for the "King of tourers" 2018 Gold Wing. The motorcycle now comes equipped with loads of electronics, updated chassis and suspension. There are two versions of the motorcycle launched for India - Gold Wing and a feature rich Gold Wing Tour. Here's an overview of the big tourer from Honda.

Honda Goldwing GL1800 Overview

Looks and Design:

The base design of motorcycle resembles the outgoing 2017 model, while the headlight assembly, body work, seats and suspension get much sophisticated in terms of looks and feel. The alloy wheels are completely redesigned, and the new RVM integrated LED turn indicators are a part of the front assembly. The seats are plush and are made of high quality leather. The exhaust is also redesigned and gets either chrome or matte black depending upon the body colour and model. The panniers are large as usual and is detachable. The pricier Goldwing Tour has additional rear trunk which is also used as the passenger backrest and armrest. It also gets a bigger windscreen when compared to the standard model. Engine and Performance:

The big tourer gets a big 1833cc liquid cooled horizontally opposed six cylinder engine with four valves per cylinder and churns out 125 bhp at 5,500 RPM and a ground breaking 170 Nm of peak torque at 4,500 RPM. The engine is mated to Honda's patented Dual Clutch Transmission (DCT) unit, similar to the one present on the Africa Twin. The transmission is a 7 speed DCT, while the rear wheel is powered by a shaft. There is a walking speed forward and reverse mode which is powered by an electric motor for easy parking and maneuvering. Electronic Package and Equipment:

The motorcycle gets loads of electronics like traction control system, Honda Stability Torque Control (HSTC) for controlling suspension damping, Integrated Starter Generator for quick engine starts, three different riding modes and ABS along with Honda's unique Dual-Combined braking system (D-CBS). Throttle by wire system comes as standard on both the models.

The motorcycle also gets Hill start assist for those cold starts at high altitudes. There is a large 7 inch TFT colour display which acts as the instrument cluster and infotainment system. Apple CarPlay has been integrated to the cluster, while Android Auto is yet to arrive. The waterproof audio system is available with controls all over the handlebars and on top of the fuel tank. The motorcycle gets full LED headlights and LED indicators as well, which is auto cancelling. Brakes, Chassis and Suspension:

The 2018 Goldwing gets a new robotically welded twin spar aluminum frame with a single sided swingarm. The front suspension is futuristic as it gets a Double Wishbone type suspension with 4.3 inches travel for better riding experience. The rear is suspended on a Pro Arm single side swingarm with Pro Link single shock absorber. Braking duties are carried out by dual hydraulic 320mm discs up front and a single 316mm disc at the rear. The tyre profiles are 170/70-18 and 200/55-16 respectively giving a true tourer feel. The motorcycle weighs in at 357 kg which is a whopping 40 kg less than the predecessor.

Pricing and Final Impression:

The Honda Gold Wing is priced at Rs. 26.85 lakhs (ex showroom Delhi) which is very competitive and accessible, given the amount of futuristic electronics and equipment. The bookings can be done from Honda's exclusive Wing World outlets at Mumbai and Delhi, and the motorcycles will be delivered on first come first served basis. The two variants comes in Candy Ardent Red colour. The bike will rival the BMW GTL1600, Harley Davidson CVO Limited and Indian Roadmaster in India.
