2010 Honda Gold Wing


2010 Honda Gold Wing

Now it its 33rd year of production, the legendary Honda Goldwing remains the gold standard of luxury touring, thanks to satellite navigation, a premium audio system, a cold-weather comfort package, an industry-first fully integrated airbag and unrivaled performance.

The bike is smooth, quiet and sails along effortlessly. I was surprised with the speed & quickness of this Honda Goldwing. Balanced so well that sometimes feet not needed on stops or hands on bars unless you want them, and even non-stop to 181 miles in 3.25 hrs in stop & go traffic jams. The audio system is user friendly and the sound quality surprised me. The second complaint is about the high pitched whine while the bike is at idle and at lower speeds.

While remaining as reliable, comfortable and powerful as the previous generation model, the "2010 Honda Gold Wing" model year is a bit safer and the new color schemes still manage to make the bike stand out despite its old-fashioned look.

With a very comfortable seat positioned just 29.1 inches from the ground and an infinite number of goodies such as a CD-player, integrated navigation system and multi-function display, just to name a few, the "2010 Honda Gold Wing" is synonymous to open road cruising in complete luxury and relaxation. The bike weighs 895 - 928 pounds wet depending on the selected options. But have things always been this way with the 2010 Honda Gold Wing?
