Overview
Introducing the 2021 Honda Gold Wing DCT, an epitome of luxury touring motorcycles that masterfully blends comfort, performance, and cutting-edge technology. With a starting price of $25,100, this motorcycle stands as a beacon for long-distance riders seeking an unparalleled experience on the open road. The Gold Wing has long been revered for its smooth ride and sophisticated features, and the 2021 model continues this legacy with enhancements that cater to both seasoned enthusiasts and those new to the touring category. At the heart of the Gold Wing DCT is a robust 1833cc liquid-cooled six-cylinder boxer engine, producing 118 horsepower and an impressive torque of 167 Nm at just 4000 RPM. This harmonious power delivery ensures effortless acceleration, whether you’re navigating city streets or cruising on the highway at speed.

With a low seat height of 29.3 inches, even shorter riders will find confidence in handling this heavyweight motorcycle, which tips the scales at 800 pounds with fluids. Coupled with a sophisticated twin-spar aluminum frame and advanced suspension system, the Gold Wing delivers stability and agility that belies its size. The 2021 Gold Wing DCT is packed with features designed to enhance the riding experience. With four ride modes, riders can easily switch between settings to suit their preferences and riding conditions, whether it’s for spirited twisties or relaxed cruising. The electric windshield provides customizable wind protection, while the walking mode/reverse function makes maneuvering this large bike a breeze. The integrated advanced audio system and cruise control further elevate the touring experience, ensuring that every journey is as enjoyable as the destination. Moreover, Honda's commitment to quality is exemplified through a transferable unlimited-mileage limited warranty, backed by the option of extended coverage through the Honda Protection Plan. **
