Honda has unveiled the 2020 iteration of its flagship tourer, the Goldwing. Except for new paint schemes and some minor mechanical updates, the motorcycle hasn’t received anything new.

For 2020, Honda has updated the fuel-injection system and the DCT, which the company claims should improve the bike’s slow-speed manoeuvrability. The top-spec ‘Tour’ version, on the other hand, gets new grab handles and the suspension settings have been updated for better comfort. However, Honda hasn’t revealed what exactly it has changed in the suspension setting. 

Mechanically, it remains the same as the older-gen model. So it’s the same mammoth 1,883cc liquid-cooled motor, which belts out 126PS and 170Nm of torque. But whether this engine is Euro 5-compliant or not is yet to be seen. If Honda brings the Euro 5-compliant model, expect the power output to differ slightly from the current-gen model. 

Agreed, the Honda Goldwing is a gem of a motorcycle as it is basically a couch on wheels. But what intrigued us the most is the 2020 CBR1000RR, which was just spotted on a race track! Because where else is Honda going to test its flagship litre-class sportbike?
