Let’s face it, when it comes to iconic motorcycles, few names have the street (or highway) cred of Honda’s legendary Gold Wing. This year, the ultimate touring machine celebrates its 50th anniversary with a show-stopping 2025 lineup, proving the Gold Wing is still the two-wheeled throne for road warriors who demand equal parts class, comfort, and cutting-edge tech. Who knew turning 50 could look this good!
Born in 1975 as the OG belly-buster for long rides, the Gold Wing revolutionized the touring game and spawned an entire subculture of dedicated riders. For the big five-oh, Honda hasn’t just slapped on some glitter and called it a day—this celebration is all about details. Among the standout styling upgrades are 50th Anniversary badges strategically placed on the saddlebags and the front of the seat, while an opening screen animation reminds you, “Since 1975,” every time you fire it up. Because why not flex a little history every time you ride?
The versatile lineup caters to all tastes, whether you’re into the “bagger” vibe of the standard Gold Wing or the top-tier luxury of the Gold Wing Tour. And for those who like their rides with a little extra pizzazz (looking at you, Bordeaux Red Metallic fans!), the 50th Anniversary Gold Wing Tour adds stunning colors, bold branding, and exclusive editions sure to turn heads at any stoplight.
But wait—it wouldn’t be a Honda party without some tech upgrades. New for 2025, the Gold Wing offers wireless Apple CarPlay™ and Android Auto™ compatibility, making your trip playlist and navigation a breeze. And speaking of breezes, the Tour’s airbag system—still the only motorcycle to feature one—is available in a lush Bordeaux Red Metallic colorway. Because safety can—and should—be stylish.
The price for these special rides? The 50th Anniversary Gold Wing starts at US$25,200, with the Tour models clocking in a tad higher. But that’s not all—you’ll also get a commemorative coffee-table book chronicling Gold Wing’s history and a 3D scale model featuring the 1975 and 2025 bikes. It’s like the Oscars of motorcycles, and all signs point to the Gold Wing taking Best Picture.
Honda will also ring in the Gold Wing’s golden year with a special display and activities during Daytona Bike Week, and anyone who’s ridden on one of these machines already knows it’ll be the star of the show. So whether you’re clocking miles or admiring it from afar, this 50th-anniversary edition puts the “gold” in Gold Wing.
Get ready to ride in March, and do it in style—because no one does 50 quite like Honda.
