Over its more than three decades of travelling the world's
highways, the majestic Goldwing has become almost an institution of
luxurious two-wheeled touring pleasure, and the rolling standard
against which all other touring motorcycles are compared. Its
smoothly impressive six-cylinder engine performance, remarkably
responsive yet neutral handling and unrivalled carrying capability
all combine to create one of the most impressive, enjoyable and
ultimately satisfying touring machines to traverse the highways of
Australia and the world. More than just a riding machine, the
Goldwing offers a long distance touring experience.
Constructed on a lightweight and rigid aluminium twin-spar frame
designed to ensure a light and easy balance of handling, the
Goldwing receives its remarkable power from a strong, responsive
and always reliable 1800cc fuel-injected flat-six engine that
drives its rear wheel via a quiet, maintenance-free shaft drive
system. Braking confidence in ensured by Honda's peerless Dual
Combined and Antilock Brake Systems, which work in seamless concert
to ensure smooth, unruffled braking control over all the varying
road surfaces the Goldwing might encounter, while an extensive list
of high-tech features such as its motor-assisted rear suspension
adjustment, pushbutton electric reverse, cruise control, RDS radio
entertainment system and more combine to make long-distance trips
aboard the Goldwing and experience in luxury beyond the scope of
anything else on two wheels.
For its new 2006 edition, the Goldwing maintains its excellent
style and performance, while introducing a separate new deluxe
Comfort Package variation that provides an extended range of riding
enjoyment whenever the weather turns cold.
Likewise, attention has been paid to the Goldwing's
class-leading concern for the environment, and introduces for the
first time ever a newly developed low emissions system that reduces
exhaust emissions to far below government mandated limits, for the
cleanest exhaust in its performance class.
First and foremost in all the features that make seeing the
world on a motorcycle one of the most enjoyable activities there
is, the new Goldwing stays ahead with its remarkably integrated
concept of performance and luxury, and with new developments
designed to pamper riders with the utmost in comfort and quality.
When horizons call, leave it to the Goldwing to answer.
Styling
The Goldwing's boldly impressive aerodynamic bodywork is
designed to be functional as well as beautiful, offering a low
coefficient of drag that reduces turbulence at highway speeds and
providing exceptional protection against the wind and elements.
Essentially unchanged for 2006, the Goldwing's integrated styling
features copious carrying capacity, a comfortably low rider seat
height, spacious passenger seating accommodations, including back
and arm rests, and a wind tunnel-tested flow-through ventilation
system that draws engine heat away from the rider for greatly
enhanced riding comfort.
