Secure one of the first bikes with a £500 deposit. Call Andrew or Will on 2 The flagship tourer will be available with a new, third generation of Honda’s semi-automatic Dual Clutch Transmission (DCT) system, with seven speeds. The manual version is six-speed. The flat-six 1833cc engine now has four valves per cylinder and benefits from a new ride-by-wire throttle and four riding modes. The chassis is new, featuring an aluminium beam frame, double wishbone front suspension and single-sided 'Pro-Arm' swing-arm, with damping and rear spring pre-load electronically adjustable. Honda says the 2018 Gold Wing is smaller, lighter and more agile that its predecessor, a development the firm hopes will increase its appeal to younger riders. It will be available as the base-model GL1800 Gold Wing and as a ‘Tour’ edition with a top box and the option of DCT and an airbag. The claimed kerb weight is 365kg for the base model, 379kg for the Tour and 383kg for the Tour with DCT. The existing Gold Wing weighs a claimed 421kg. The engine has been ‘optimised for size’ according to Honda, but makes more power than the current Wing, at a claimed 126hp compared to 118hp. Peak torque is also up, from 123lbft to 125lbft. The four riding modes are Tour, Sport, Econ and Rain, altering suspension damping and the combined braking system as well as throttle response. It also gets Honda’s ‘Selectable Torque Control’ traction control system and Hill Start Assist, the latter to prevent rolling backwards. The DCT version has a ‘creep forward and back function’ while the manual one retains the reverse system of its predecessor. Equipment includes an electric adjustable windscreen, cruise control and a seven-inch TFT dash with Bluetooth connectivity. And of course, the new Wing has received a comprehensive styling makeover, as shown in the pictures.
