This year the ‘King of the Road’ is offered in three beautiful new colours that emphasise its sophistication. The quick-starting fuel-injected Gold Wing engine is renowned for its long-haul power and strong performance.

The motorcycle’s huge carrying capacity and luxurious ride quality make touring smooth and easy. Its quiet operation and the broad, wind-deflecting fairing together create a serene, relaxed ride.

The compliant suspension systems feature a computer-controlled adjustable pre-load damper while the powerful ABS ensures confident braking, even in difficult circumstances.

In spite of its considerable road presence, the Gold Wing handles with light manoeuvrability, making it a surprisingly agile performer in city traffic – if the gaps are big enough. This is achieved by a low centre of gravity, which enhances stability and gives a secure, balanced ride feel.

This exceptional tourer’s user-friendly equipment includes a premium audio system, a multi-function information centre and, on the Deluxe version, an integrated satellite navigation system.

The Deluxe version also incorporates the Honda Motorcycle Airbag system, the first ever designed specifically for a motorcycle.

Touring possibilities are maximised with adjustable heated handlebar grips and seats, plus a range of specially tailored optional luggage accessories.

For 2010 there are three new colour variations: Mosquito Brown Metallic, Pearl Glacier White and Nebulous Black Metallic.
