Overview

Introducing the 2009 Honda Gold Wing Audio Comfort Navi XM ABS, a quintessential touring motorcycle that encapsulates the essence of long-distance travel with unparalleled comfort and sophistication. Positioned as a flagship model in Honda's lineup, the Gold Wing has earned its reputation as the gold standard for touring bikes, blending luxurious features with robust performance. With a price tag starting at $24,399, it caters to riders who demand not just a means of transport, but an experience that transforms the journey into a cherished memory. At the heart of this magnificent machine lies an impressive 1832 cc six-cylinder boxer engine. This powerhouse delivers smooth, linear acceleration that makes highway cruising a pleasure. The computer-controlled digital ignition system ensures optimal performance through three-dimensional mapping, while the programmed fuel injection (PGM-FI) offers precise fuel delivery for efficiency and power. With a compression ratio of 9.8:1, riders can expect a refined performance that marries power with reliability. The 5-speed gearbox works seamlessly with the shaft drive, providing a virtually maintenance-free experience, while the liquid cooling system keeps the engine running cool even on the hottest days. Whether you’re navigating winding mountain roads or gliding along the interstate, the Gold Wing delivers a riding experience that is both exhilarating and composed. The Gold Wing is replete with features that enhance comfort and convenience. From its plush seating to the innovative audio system and integrated navigation, every detail has been thoughtfully designed for the touring enthusiast. The bike boasts a sophisticated suspension system, including a 45mm cartridge fork with an anti-dive mechanism in the front and a single-side swingarm in the rear, both designed to absorb the bumps of the road while providing exceptional stability. The onboard navigation system ensures you never lose your way, while the XM radio keeps your ride entertaining. With multiple color options ranging from the striking Candy Black Cherry to the elegant Pearl Yellow, the Gold Wing allows riders to express their personal style. **
