The 21st century Gold Wing shatters all known standards for touring motorcycles with world-class performance, athletic handling and supreme comfort. Unique Gold Wing Features · Powerful fuel-injected 1832cc six-cylinder engine produces smooth, effortless power--125 lb./ft. of torque--while exceeding the California Air Resources Board (CARB) 2008 emissions standards. · Beautiful multi-box-section aluminum dual-spar frame and Pro Arm single-side cast aluminum swingarm set new class standards for handling. · State-of-the-art audio system with optional CD player. Not installed Engine · The exhaustively tested 1832cc liquid-cooled horizontally opposed six-cylinder engine provides effortless power. · Low, forward engine placement and solid engine mounting produce excellent road handling characteristics and impressive low-speed maneuverability. · High-pressure-formed, sintered iron Nickalloy crankshaft bearing caps provide quiet engine operation throughout the engine's operating temperature range. · Parallel two-valve cylinder head design utilizes direct shim-under-bucket valve actuation; the first valve clearance inspection is at 50,000 kilometres. · Silent-type camshaft chains with automatic adjusters provide reliable, maintenance-free operation. · 6.9-litre airbox supplies a large volume of cool, clean air to the engine. · Two 40mm-diameter throttle bodies deliver air to six, specially designed Keihin 50-psi high-pressure, programmed fuel injectors (PGM-FI). Fuel is delivered through four nozzle tips in each injector, producing an atomized fuel mixture that is highly combustible, for optimum efficiency and power. · Electronic control unit (ECU) provides two digital 3-D fuel injection maps for each cylinder and one digital 3-D ignition map for each cylinder, creating ideal fuel mixture and spark advance settings for superb rideability. Unique knock-control sensors monitor ignition advance to improve performance throughout the entire rpm range. · ECU-controlled, closed-loop emission control system utilizes two oxygen sensors to constantly deliver a precise air/fuel mixture, while two exhaust catalyzers further reduce emissions of carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons and nitrogen oxides. · Rotary Air Control Valve (RACV) provides auto-choke function and maintains precise idle control under widely varying engine loads and operating temperatures. · Compact water pump is mounted behind the engine and is driven directly by the crankshaft, contributing to quicker engine warm-up. · Engine cooling system features a series-flow coolant flow pattern that offers cold-start rideability and provides rapid engine warm-up. · Two side-mounted radiators enhance cooling efficiency and use low-air-pressure areas created by side cowls to draw cooling air through the radiators and around the rider at highway speeds. Below 24 kilometres per hour, thermostat-controlled fans pull cooling air across the radiators into the fairing, keeping hot air away from the rider. · Sturdy eight-plate clutch with maintenance-free hydraulic-assist. · Efficient, stainless steel six-into-two exhaust system produces a pleasing, powerful sound. · Powerful, 1100-watt alternator uses a dual-damper system to minimize alternator noise. · Precise-shifting five-speed transmission includes overdrive fifth gear.

Using the front brake lever activates the outer two pistons of the front right-side caliper and the center piston of the front left-side caliper and, acting through the secondary master cylinder and an inline proportioning valve, the outer two pistons of the rear caliper. The rear brake pedal operates the center piston of the rear brake caliper, the center piston of the front right-side brake caliper and the outer two pistons of the front left-side caliper. A delay valve sensitive to the rider's pedal pressure smoothes front brake engagement. Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) features an electric-motor-driven modulator that provides rapid and precise braking-pressure adjustments, resulting in smooth ABS operation. The system incorporates an integrated ECU, self-diagnostics with an interactive ECU test function, and automatic protection against system failure. · Massive, 45mm front fork houses a cartridge damper in the right leg with 140mm of travel for a smooth yet superb ride in all road conditions. · Anti-dive system minimizes front fork dive when braking. The system utilizes brake fluid pressure generated in the secondary LBS master cylinder mounted on the left fork leg and is activated by input from either the front brake lever or the rear brake pedal. This application of anti-dive and LBS produces enhanced stability when maneuvering at both low speeds and highway speeds. · Pro-Link-mounted rear shock provides 105mm of plush travel for relaxed touring or sport riding. · Computer-controlled adjustable hydraulic rear suspension preload is easily set by the rider with push-button controls and features a two-position memory. · Unique driveshaft-damping system utilizes a double-pipe structure, with a rubber-bonded coating applied to the inner pipe to absorb road shock and engine torque. The long-life design simplifies rear wheel maintenance. · Final gearcase assembly design in the Pro Arm eliminates wheel alignment splines and assures accurate alignment of the rear wheel after servicing. · Cast aluminum 18 x 3.5-inch front wheel and 16 x 5.0-inch rear wheel are lightweight and strong. · Radial touring tires are specifically engineered for the Gold Wing, providing a combination of excellent traction, cornering grip and tire life. Touring Features · The parallel two-valve cylinder head design, together with side-mounted radiators, allows optimum ergonomics, with excellent rider foot room and an enlarged passenger-cockpit. · Slow-speed electric reverse system is engaged with the simple push of two thumb controls on the right handlebar. · Lightweight electronic cruise control system utilizes a 16-bit ECU-controlled, motor-actuated throttle mechanism. · The Gold Wing's aerodynamic bodywork is functional as well as beautiful, providing excellent rider wind protection while reducing the aerodynamic drag coefficient. · A simple yet ingenious ratcheting windshield-adjustment system provides six settings over nearly 105mm of travel. Operated manually, the mechanism eliminates the weight and complexity of electric motors. · The Gold Wing trunk provides 61 litres of storage capacity with an additional 5 litres of storage available if the optional CD changer is not installed. Two full-face helmets fit easily in the trunk. The saddlebags provide 40-plus litres of storage each, resulting in a total of more than 145 litres of storage space. · The saddlebag lids feature hydraulic dampers for smooth operation. · Specially designed luggage features a remote-control key-lock, permitting pop-open rear trunk operation; a remote lock/unlock feature for the trunk and the saddlebags; and a horn-actuated bike locator. If remote locking is attempted while a lid is open, the emergency lights flash to alert the rider. · Storage pockets located in the fairing and rear trunk feature oil-damped doors for smooth operation. · Soft-touch plastic elastomer provides a luxurious feel to the front console, front- and rear-pocket covers and the passenger armrests. · Wind-tunnel-tested flow-through fairing ventilation system. · Ergonomically designed saddle with a low, 740mm seat height has a plush passenger seat with integral backrest and side support for all-day riding comfort. · Panasonic state-of-the-art audio system features two enclosed 25-watt rated stereo speakers for full-spectrum music reproduction with superb bass.
