The Tour variant of the Gold Wing additionally gets heated seats (not really a boon on Indian roads, unless you’re somewhere up North), a trunk that has a keyless function, Honda’s version of traction control called the Honda Selectable Torque Control, and electronic rear suspension, which allows you to adjust it with a button instead of having to remove the fairing of the bike, to do so manually. Honda Gold Wing is powered by an 1833 cc engine. This Gold Wing engine generates a power of 126.4 PS @ 5500 rpm and a torque of 170 Nm @ 4500 rpm.
