For more than 35 years the Honda Gold Wing has stood alone at the forefront of the luxury touring class. One of the big reasons it stays there is because it is being constantly updated, without ever losing sight of the Gold Wing’s core greatness.
Revolutionary. Extraordinary. Standard-setting. It's what riders come to expect of the Gold Wing. The improvements and features being offered for 2012 are a perfect example of these.
Most noticeable on the 2012 GoldWing is the revised body style featuring larger luggage, providing an additional seven litres of carrying capacity. Non-airbag models also get a new center-mounted glovebox for added convenience, boosting the cockpit area storage capacity to 2.8 litres.

As well as the additional carrying capacity the new layered-surface bodywork does more than just look great. There’s appreciably more wind and weather protection around the lower legs, so the rider/passenger will experience less buffeting and warmer legs on those cool days. Also updated is the rider/passenger seat, now with a new waterproof urethane perforated seat cover material giving it a new, sportier custom look.
The GoldWing’s travel-oriented credentials include the latest generation of sophisticated electronic amenities, starting with an updated and innovative GPS navigation system featuring step-by-step verbal directions via Gold Wing's sound system with user-friendly programmability. Riders can plan trip routes on their home computer and upload them into the Gold Wing’s available navi system.

Other improvements to the navi system are a brighter colour LCD screen, making the new lane guidance/junction view feature easier to read, plus a new GPS receiver which will capture satellite signals faster.
Also now incorporated is a built-in MP3/iPod interface for a new SRS CS Auto technology surround-sound system for a premium listening experience.
In addition to its renowned power-laden yet refined drivetrain and sporty handling, the 2012 Wing has revised suspension settings for enhanced ride compliance providing unparalleled comfort to both rider and passenger.
Honda Canada will offer to two models offering desirable features such as Navi, ABS and airbag, which will further the Gold Wing’s reputation as being the most celebrated touring machine in motorcycle history.
The 2012 Honda GoldWing will be making its debut at the Montreal Motorcycle Show this weekend, Feb. 25-27.
