American Honda announced the proud return of the Gold Wing to the US market for 2024, and it gets a new colorway on both available trim levels. How do you feel about Matte Armored Green Metallic? If you love it, cool. If you don’t, then no worries, because you can also choose from Pearl White or Gray Metallic and Black, depending on how you want your ‘Wing specced.
The 2024 Honda Gold Wing is available with or without Honda’s automatic Dual Clutch Transmission. Additional variations include whether you want your ‘Wing with an airbag, or whether you want the Tour version with the top box and comfortable passenger backrest. You can, of course, still opt for the simple, no-frills Gold Wing in 2024 if that’s more to your liking.

The Engine
The 2024 Honda Gold Wing is powered by Honda’s stalwart single overhead cam, 1,833cc liquid-cooled flat six-cylinder engine. Bore and stroke are a perfectly square 73.0mm by 73.0mm, and the compression ratio is 10.5 to one. It’s mated to a six-speed transmission, and one of the Gold Wing’s calling cards is its shaft final drive.
