2022 Honda Gold Wing Tour Review The Honda Gold Wing has always been a great
touring motor, since the first GL1000 in 1975.
The 2022 model is perfect for that.
Lots of refinements, but the best words remain the same.
You can still choose the manual transmission model and the Gold Wing which is an automatic
DCT transmission, but this year the bag is so big especially for more travel, the speakers
have a higher rating of 55 watts, and the seat passengers on our Tour model are upgraded.
refreshments on some touch styles, such as solid tail red lights and paint options — see
gray with orange accents on models without matching Plus, all Gold Wings are now compatible
with Android Auto, as well as with Apple Car Play.

Honda Gold Wing Tour Performance.
Engine.
The horizontally opposite gold wing six-cylinder engine is notoriously smooth and powerful.
The latest version is a 1833cc design that is more than 13 pounds lighter than the previous
generation (more than 8 pounds for the DCT version).
ALUMINUM CYLINDER SLEEVE.
High-strength aluminum cylinder arms help reduce weight, improve cooling efficiency,
and reduce engine length.
The boring, short 73mm cylinder, the high-power crankshaft also helps make the engine more
compact.
UNICAM CYLINDER HEAD DESIGN.
The Gold Wing engine uses a four-valve Unicam cylinder head design.
It improves engine performance and power and also contributes to the reduction of engine
weight from previous generations.
The four-valve per cylinder design is also a big part of Gold Wing’s superior fuel
efficiency.
AUTOMATIC DCT 7-SPEED TRANSMISSION.
The Gold Wing is available with the revolutionary 7-Speed Automatic DCT.
This version shifts faster and smoother than before, and the seventh gear overdrive is
perfect for highway cruising.
6-SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION.
The latest Gold Wings offers the best conventional gearbox in Gold Wing history.
Case in case: the sixth gear is overdrive so that the highway cruising is smoother than
before.
CLUTCH SANDALS.
We have provided our manual-transmission Gold Wing’s clutch sandals, like our premium
sport bike.
It just makes sense— the 1833cc engine generates a lot of power, and the star chassis lets
you ride this Gold Wing like a sport bike.
DOUBLE WALL EXHAUST PIPE.
You may think this is just for cosmetics, but on a hot day, a single wall exhaust pipe
can throw away a lot of heat.
Gold Wing twin-wall design makes everything cooler.
FUEL EFFICIENCY. with lightweight Gold Wings 2022, you would expect it to be fuel-efficient.
But the weight is just the beginning.
Combined with the bike engine, intake system, and four-valve design, the estimated fuel
economy is up 22 percent from the previous generation.* Want to really squeeze the last
mile out of every drop?
Try setting the “Econ” travel mode.
RUNNING MODE.
All Gold Wings with DCT transmission feature “Walking Mode,” which lets you creep forward
at walking speed.
Think about how easy it is to get in and out of a tight parking lot with a fully loaded
bike.
CRUISE CONTROL.
The Gold Wing 2022 still has cruise control—it was one of the first touring bikes to offer
the feature.
And with our advanced throttle-by-wire system, it’s better than ever.
