India-bound 2021 Honda Gold Wing unveiled, gets several new features
The 2021 Honda Gold Wing has been unveiled overseas. The new model of the highly popular Japanese luxury touring motorcycle gets a bunch of new interesting features.
For the 2021 Gold Wing, Honda has worked to enhance passenger comfort. The Tour models feature a redesigned backrest for the passenger seat that provides a more relaxed angle. Also, the improved padding and a taller profile would make the overall riding experience for the passenger that much better. For added premium-ness, Honda has also included synthetic leather seat covers in the Tour models.
The storage capacity of the 2021 Gold Wing Tour’s top boxes has been increased. With a total capacity of 61L, they can now hold 11L of more cargo than before. This means accommodating two full-face helmets should be easy and hassle-free. The Tour models also feature new 45W speakers that come with automatic volume-adjustment level.
