Back in black (and other colorways)! The 2021 Gold Wing took flight as part of Honda’s first new model announcement of the new year. Among the improvements is a capacity increase for the Tour version’s trunk, which now easily accepts two full-face helmets. Honda also announced a host of upgrades to its smallest dual-sport models, the CRF300L and CRF300L Rally, highlighted by a 15% increase in engine displacement.
“Honda listens to its customers, a fact that is highlighted in our latest new-model announcement,” said Lee Edmunds, Senior Manager of Powersports Marketing for American Honda. “In the case of the Gold Wing and our smallest street-legal CRF models, the 2021 iterations reflect improvements that were highly requested by people who ride them every day, and the motorcycles are better as a result. We look forward to customers getting the chance to experience the updates themselves.”
When it comes to ‘Winging it, the 2021 Tour model’s top trunk is 11 liters larger, for a total of 61 liters storage capacity, and the passenger seat’s backrest features a more relaxed angle, thicker foam and a taller profile. A number of audio improvements were incorporated, including upgraded, 45-watt speakers with richer audio; optimized automatic volume-adjustment level and a standard XM radio antenna. Android Auto integration joins Apple CarPlay integration.
