Great news!

Without a doubt, it is one of the most well-engineered, and definitely the most relaxing motorcycle I have ever ridden. The 6 cylinder engine and the DCT are made for each other, and being their flagship model, Honda has put in all their R&D effort into this latest gen Goldwing, and it shows.

The wishbone type front suspension is unusual and takes a while to get used to, but the ride quality is simply the best I have ever experienced. Even in the Japanese market, it is one of the most expensive motorcycles from a domestic manufacturer (save for the exotics like the H2R / Fireblade SP2), but there is definitely a loyal fan following for the Goldwing, especially among reborn bikers and seasoned ones who swear by it.

Wonder how Honda is going to price it in India. For sure, it will be out of reach of the average motorcycle enthusiast.

Does it come with Gold Bars filled in its boxes?

Honda and their atrocious pricing saga continues !

[GoBlue]

Although this pricing seems atrocious, it appears to be at par within the segment. The Indian Roadmaster costs 43 lacs!

Goldwing offers Double wishbone front suspension/Shaft drive/DCT/Airbag as additional features, can almost call it as VFM at 39 lacs!

Guess BMW has it's work done while deciding the pricing of BS6 K1600.

Have seen several Goldwings/Indian Roadmasters in MH. Given that this segment sells in decent numbers (18 Goldwings sold in 2019), the target demographic that buys these bikes may not find it overpriced.

The Triumph Rocket 3 GT almost seems like a steal now, doesn't it!

Maybe I've been living under a rock, but I never knew bikes can be this expensive, I had heard 7 or 8 lac rupee bikes but 40 big ones, man times really are changing.

On a side note, on reading the title I thought they had launched a tempo traveller kind of tourer.

7-8l is the starting point of imported bikes. Many people buy bikes in the 10-20l range but you also get a lot more expensive bikes as well.

Honda has commenced the deliveries of the 2021 Gold Wing Tour in India. The deliveries were conducted through the company’s Honda BigWing Topline outlets in Gurugram (Haryana), Mumbai (Maharashtra), Bengaluru (Karnataka) and Indore (Madhya Pradesh).



The 2021 Gold Wing Tour makes its way to the Indian market via the CBU route from Japan. Honda claims that the first lot of motorcycles were sold out within 24 hours of the commencement of bookings. The bike was launched in June this year.



The Gold Wing Tour is powered by a 1,833cc, liquid-cooled, 4-stroke, 24-valve, SOHC flat-6 engine that produces 125 BHP @ 5,500 rpm and 170Nm @ 4,500 rpm. The motorcycle comes equipped with Honda Selectable Torque Control (HSTC), Integrated Starter Generator (ISG), Idling Stop (on the DCT option) and Hill Start Assist (HSA). It also features a double-wishbone front suspension, an extended electric screen and dual LED fog lights.

The Gold Wing Tour comes with Bluetooth connectivity and is also available with two USB Type-C ports to plug a smartphone into. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto have been provided as well.



The Gold Wing Tour is available in two variants – Manual Transmission (white) and DCT + Airbag (black), priced at Rs. 37,20,342 and Rs. 39,16,055 (ex-showroom, Gurugram), respectively.

These Japanese Big Bike manufacturers are laughing to the bank, with their premium offerings getting sold in matter of hours Hayabusa first 100 units sold in 48 hrs and the next 100 in 1 hr and now the Goldwing been sold out in 24 hrs (though number of units are not know)

Only Yamaha India feels that there is no market or customer base for its over 250 cc motorcycle range (FZ 250)

Thanks Venkatesh for the beautiful pics! The 1974 and the 1984 iterations of the Goldwing are my personal favorites. I'm a big sucker for classic UJM style motorcycles. Another one of my favorites from the Honda stable is the CB1100 EX.
