00:00The Honda Goldwing isn't just a motorcycle. It's a symbol. A symbol of long-distance touring
00:10excellence, of comfort without compromise, of power, and innovation fused into one incredible
00:15machine. For decades, the Goldwing has defined what a luxury touring bike should be. And now,
00:22for 2026, Honda has taken everything we've loved about the Goldwing and pushed it to a whole new
00:27level. The 2026 Goldwing is more refined, more intelligent, more comfortable, and more powerful.
00:35It's the perfect blend of heritage and future. Whether you're a seasoned Goldwing veteran or
00:40someone stepping into the touring category for the first time, this new model will give you plenty
00:45to be excited about. Engine and performance, six cylinders of smooth glory. Let's start with what
00:51powers this beast, the iconic flat-six engine. Honda has kept the 1833 cubic centimeters horizontally
00:59opposed six-cylinder engine, and honestly, that's a great thing. There's no engine smoother or more
01:05balanced in the entire touring segment. This flat-six has received slight refinements in 2026.
01:12The fuel mapping has been updated for a smoother throttle response, and weight-saving components
01:17help deliver better overall efficiency. Expect around 125 horsepower and 130 pound-foot of torque.

01:32an effortless wave of torque. You don't have to rev it out, the power is always there. And because of
01:38that legendary engine layout, vibration is practically non-existent. The Goldwing was never about drag races,
01:45it's about mile-munching performance. It's designed to keep going and going with zero fuss,
01:51no fatigue, and total confidence. Transmission, manual or DCT, two flavors of precision.
01:58In 2026, Honda once again gives riders the choice, a traditional six-speed manual
02:04transmission or a state-of-the-art seven-speed dual-clutch transmission.
02:07And let's be clear, Honda's DCT is not a gimmick. It's one of the most advanced systems in the
02:15motorcycle world. This year, the DCT features quicker shift times, smarter gear selection,
02:21and less lag in sport mode. It now adapts even better to how you ride, whether you're coasting
02:27through traffic or attacking switchbacks on a mountain road. It's smooth, intuitive,
02:33and completely eliminates the fatigue that can come with constant shifting on long rides.

03:38it's in its electronics suite. It comes with a gorgeous 10. 5-inch full-color TFT touchscreen with

05:38and easier to access thanks to soft close hinges and one-touch power latches. You also get redesigned

07:03direct wind around the rider while venting heat away from the engine. New LED lighting with integrated
07:09adaptive cornering beams ensures that you light up the road at any angle. Available color options include
07:15pearl white, candy red, matte black metallic, and a new midnight blue metallic that really pops under the sun.

07:27brand like Honda would obsess over. Trims and pricing, luxury in three levels.
