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. CN (Top) When you purchase a 2025 50th-anniversary Gold Wing, you also get special gifts: a coffee-table book covering the model's history and a 3D 1:12 scale tabletop model, with a 1975 bike on one side and a 2025 motorcycle on the other.
