We suppose Honda was too busy creating the all-new VFR1200 to take a thorough look over the Gold Wing, so they simply rely on this model’s unique features and, why not, fame to still sell it in the year that follows. So until the Japanese company launches their promised new generation, the Gold Wing fan will have to settle with the same 1832cc, liquid-cooled, six-cylinder Boxer engine with single cams and two valves per cylinder. As much as we’d expect more from Honda, we also have to admit that ever since this engine powers this two-wheeled limousine, it never disappointed. It features Honda’s Programmed Fuel Injection (PGM-FI) system and develops 118 hp at 5500 rpm and 167 Nm at 4000 rpm. Also, the Gold Wing engine is coupled to the same five-speed gearbox with overdrive and electric reverse and power is still sent to the rear wheel through a shaft final drive.
