Man, the Honda Gold Wing 2025 is the bike that’s ruling the premium touring world this year—a flat-six powerhouse blending timeless luxury, cutting-edge tech, and endurance that laughs at your longest trips. Launched globally in February 2025 but still fresh in September with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, it’s a no-brainer against the BMW K 1600 GTL or Harley Road Glide. Priced from Rs. 39.90 lakh for the Tour Anniversary Edition at Honda BigWing (slashed from Rs. 42 lakh with festive deals), it’s a steal for long-haul riders or adventurers chasing 125 hp vibes—grab it if you’re upgrading from an older Wing or switching from a Multistrada, though the 390 kg heft might feel like a tank in city traffic.
Retro-Luxe Design That Feels Premium
This beast’s a solid 390 kg, 2,612 mm long, 925 mm wide, and 1,430 mm tall, but the aluminum frame makes it balanced for bumpy highways. Full fairing shrugs wind, IP-rated for dust or light rain. Colors like Bordeaux Red, Black, or Gold pop with a matte finish—flat edges and slim profile keep it comfy, dual exhaust handles heat chaos, up to 61L saddlebags (expandable) hoards your gear. The fairing slot’s a game-changer for storage, but saddlebag bump wobbles on stands like an impatient kid.
Cockpit That’s Pure Comfort
Hop on the heated/ventilated seat, and upright bars with floorboards feel like a throne—no leg cramps after hours. The 7-inch color TFT dash pops speed, fuel, nav, and modes, hooking up via Bluetooth for wireless Android Auto/Apple CarPlay and tunes. USB-C ports keep your phone juiced, 21.1L tank tucks sleek—optional pillion backrest adds two-up fun. Cruise control chills long rides, flipping Standard, Sport, or Rain modes is a snap—quiet enough to chat over the flat-six hum, keeping that luxe tourer vibe for epic jaunts without drowning you in tech.
Flat-Six Power That Glides
The liquid-cooled 1,833cc SOHC flat-six pumps 125 hp at 5,500 rpm and 170 Nm at 4,500 rpm—6-speed manual or 7-speed DCT auto shifts like butter, hitting 0-100 kmph in 5 seconds and topping 230 kmph. ARAI says 14 kmpl (real-world 12-14), stretching the tank 250-300 km at Rs. 10-12/km—torquey low-end for loaded passes, silky whine on throttle. Double Wishbone front forks (130 mm travel) and Pro-Arm rear swingarm (105 mm) adjust on the fly—no corner wobble, smooth for highways, but DCT can lag in city snarls.
Safety That’s Rock-Solid
Dual Brembo discs—320 mm front, 316 mm rear—with cornering ABS bite hard in wet, plus traction control and wheelie mitigation for bold leans. Adaptive Ride Height drops 25 mm at stops, LED cornering lamps cut fog, TPMS keeps tires honest. No full IMU, but the aluminum twin-spar frame grips tight—5-star ASEAN NCAP, shrugging off bumps for riders pushing limits.
Price and Grab It Quick
Tour Anniversary DCT at Rs. 39.90 lakh ex-showroom—on-road Delhi Rs. 44-46 lakh with taxes. Honda BigWing stock with September deals: Rs. 4k-5k off with ICICI cards, no-cost EMI, trade-ins up to Rs. 20k. Two-year warranty, Rs. 2k-3k yearly—5-10 day waits, resale 75% after year.
What Users Say
Owners hooked on smoothness and space—”touring god for the cash,” one Mumbai rider says—but weight bugs one-hand, no charger annoys. Software’s fluid but ads creep. Vs. K 1600’s zoom or Road Glide’s rumble, Gold Wing wins zoom and pen—top if touring muscle’s your vibe.
