Honda confirmed today that its renowned Gold Wing—the model that kickstarted the touring movement following its 1975 debut—returns for 2025 with several styling touches to honour its 50th anniversary.
The Gold Wing platform has evolved considerably in the half-century since its introduction, but it has always remained true to the vision of making long-distance motorcycle riding comfortable and enjoyable.
For the 2025 model year, that mission is furthered through the addition of wireless compatibility for Apple CarPlay™ and Android Auto™, but most of the updates are centered on aesthetics, with distinctive colours and badges intended to mark the special occasion.
“The Gold Wing is one of Honda’s most iconic and recognized models, its reach and influence is global in scale, and it has spawned a rabid following and subculture among motorcycle enthusiasts for 50 years,” said Ryan Kelly, Assistant Vice President Honda Canada, Powersports and Power Products Equipment. “Since 1975, the Gold Wing has provided unprecedented and class-leading engineering and technological advancements that our customers have grown to expect, this bike deserves a special edition and celebration to commemorate the 50th anniversary of one of the world’s most reliable, recognizable and respected motorcycles.”

It wouldn’t be a proper birthday party without the attendance of the Gold Wing’s “bagger”-style versions, which follow the tradition of past trunkless models like the Valkyrie and F6B. Available with either a manual gearbox or Honda’s advanced dual-clutch transmission (DCT), the standard Gold Wing is offered for 2025 in a new Matte Black Metallic colour, and to commemorate the platform’s half-century milestone, it comes with several styling treatments, including a single bold Gold Wing logo across each saddlebag.
In addition, there’s a special 50th Anniversary badge situated in front of the seat, and the meter’s “opening ceremony” now displays “Since 1975” when the bike is turned on. As before, the standard Gold Wing has a shorter windscreen than the Tour versions, and for 2025, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto can now be accessed wirelessly.

2025 Gold Wing Tour
Honda’s flagship touring machine celebrates its Golden Anniversary with three new colors for 2025. The Bourdeaux Red Metallic and Eternal Gold options both have subtle Gold Wing logos incorporated into the saddlebags, as well as the 50th Anniversary badge in front of the seat. (The Digital Silver Metallic option is not considered a 50th Anniversary edition, and it is not badged as such.)
The Gold Wing is the first and still the only motorcycle offered in an airbag version, featuring technology that operates via an acceleration sensor and main control unit (the Airbag version is available only in Eternal Gold).
