2012 Gold Wing Overview

Plan to go everywhere.
There’s big news when it comes to the new 2012 Honda Gold Wing. Because we’ve taken what is the world’s best touring motorcycle and made it even better. The new bodywork is the first thing you’ll notice, complementing what is the best engine and chassis package the touring world has ever seen. Look a little further and you’ll discover great new improvements to the audio system, the available navigation system, and the Gold Wing’s comfort, too. And there’s new functionality, as well, like integrated iPod® connectivity and the ability to upload trips to the navi system from your home computer.

  XM NAVWEATHER

  

  It's always better to know what you're riding into before you get there.

  Foul weather ahead? Hail the size of golf balls? With XM NavWeather™ service, another of the 2012 Gold Wing's latest features, you'd not only already know about these conditions—you'd have been prompted on how to divert your route as well.
  Thanks to XM NavWeather's Threat Matrix™ technology, the Gold Wing's Nav system can track nationwide weather information for more than 20 different weather conditions. This data is then scaled and customized to a rider's specific location and route using color weather icons and/or warning signals displayed on the Nav screen.
