WIND
IN THE
P38
Gold Wing Turns 50
F
ifty years ago, Honda intro-
duced the first Honda Gold
Wing, and the manufacturer is
celebrating by fitting the 2025
Gold Wing platform with com-
memorative styling cues and the
addition of wireless compatibility
for Apple CarPlay and Android
Auto. And most 2025 Gold Wing
versions will come with two free
commemorative gifts: a coffee-
table book covering the model's
rich history, and a 3D 1:12 scale
tabletop model, with a 1975 bike
on one side and a 2025 motor
-
cycle on the other.
Honda also has plans to mark
the Gold Wing's fifth decade with
a special display and activities
during the upcoming Daytona
Bike Week. More details will be
released in the coming days.
"Honda has introduced many
important powersports models
over the years, but the Gold Wing
is and always will be special
because of how it kickstarted the
touring movement and inspired
its own dedicated sub
-
culture," said Colin Miller,
Manager of Public Rela-
tions at American Honda.
"The Gold Wing has long dem-
onstrated Honda's engineering
prowess, but it's important to
note that its development has
often been customer-led. For
these reasons and many others,
the 50th anniversary of the Gold
Wing platform is a significant
milestone in Honda's history, and
we're happy to mark the occa
-
sion with stunning touches to
the 2025 model."
Honda will again offer two
Gold Wing models, the bagger-
style Gold Wing (without the rear
top box) and the Gold Wing Tour
in various forms, again includ
-
ing with or without Dual-Clutch
Transmissions (DCT).
The 2025 Gold Wings will be
available in March.
