Now Boarding

 

A new badge for the 50th and new colors. Nothing else.

 

I cannot believe how underwhelmed I am.
I do love the red with graphics. Not enough to trade up though.

 

Apple CarPlay™ and Android Auto™ wireless compatibility

 

I would like wireless Carplay !

 

That "gold" color looks like something with wood paneling. It would look better without.

 

I thought it was wood paneling

 

I saw wireless AA and ACP also. That is something new.
But overall disappointing

 

Wow! I love that 2-tone Gold. I miss my 2006 gold. And that one is highly reminiscent of the 1985 Limited Edition. I wanted to do that with my 2006 but never did.

I have some thinking to do. I just wish it came with the Airbag... Can't have it all, I guess.

I can't see an anniversary badge in the pics.


EDIT: Found it:

Besides the 1985 wing, the same color scheme was offered on the 1991 GL1500.

 

I guess adaptive cruise is just a rumor

 

Yeah kind of surprising why its not on a grand touring bike like the wing for 2025

 

What NO 200 HP and NO flat 8 for 2025 I am disappointed

 

Just those two colors - Red and Gold?

 

Silver is on a couple models.

 

With money down on a new 2023...I was worried that I would have serious buyers remorse when the 2025 came out! I don't!
With all the new patents we have heard about, I bet they just couldn't pull it off in time for the 50th.
I wonder if any "heads rolled" for that?

The big changes are slated for the 75th Anniversary Edition. I can't wait. (Literally. I'm 77. I can't wait.)

 

At least they could have improved the seat.

 

2025 Gold Wing Tour DCT 50th Anniversary...$30,200.00

 

Am I reading this correctly? The Nav has been eliminated?

NEW FOR 2025​

• New colors for all trim levels.
• Apple CarPlay and Android Auto can now be used wirelessly on all Gold Wing versions.
• Given the widespread adoption of Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, the Gold Wing's native navigation system has been eliminated for 2025.
• "Since 1975" has been added to the Gold Wing logo that appears at the meter's "opening ceremonies" when the bike is turned on.
• On standard versions, a Gold Wing logo across the saddlebags and side fairings adds a bold styling treatment.
• A special 50th Anniversary badge is situated in front of the seat and on the Smart Key, commemorating the Gold Wing's important milestone (on all versions except for Light Silver Metallic).
• For model-year 2025, all Gold Wing versions in Eternal Gold, Bourdeaux Red Metallic and Matte Black Metallic (not Light Silver Metallic) come with two free commemorative gifts: a coffee-table book and a tabletop 3D 1:12 scale model. The model features a 1975 Gold Wing on one side and a 2025 Gold Wing on the other side.

I glossed over this initially and thought it still had nav, but I just read it again. Maybe it's a good thing to just drop it. They never keep the maps up anyway.

 

I was so blown away with the new colors and features that I called my dealer and pre-ordered two. Now I'm really hoping the dealer doesn't screw up my UBS Bolt replacement as I now have no options. Honda can keep the 25!!!

 

I like having the nav on the bike. I use it quite often. Works fine for my use. Plus I don't need cell service, although lack of cell service seems rarely a problem anymore.

 

Except when riding in the mountains...the cell phone works here and there at best in the mountains

 

So in order to get rims that are NOT Black you need to get Gold?

What happened to "The 50th anniversary Honda Gold Wing isn't an upgrade. It's an up-up-and-away grade."??????? 🤭
Wireless CP is the only improvement.......pretty lackluster for 50th anniversary IMHO.

THIS!! Don't talk about upgrades and then "up-up-and -away grade" like it's something big and come out with this. It's a great bike, but taking away Nav it's almost a downgrade.

 

Since it looks like they eliminated the built-in Navi for 2025........guess our chances of 2018 - 2024 owners getting an Navi update is next to none.

 

Does this mean that they got rid of that crappy infotainment system that craps out? Hmmm, maybe a 2025 might be the way to go. Hopefully, @Fred H. can give us some info on this. It also looks like if you want chrome you gotta get a gold Goldwing.

 

It appears the non tour version is getting electronic adjusted suspension

 

I am disappointed as well and not surprised at all. Honda is never first on tech in bikes. 50th model, this bike should have looked like the Audi Q tech in it. BUT.....BUT I am glad now, cause I would probably get one and not in the mood to spend on one . So, cheers to LAZY minded Honda and cheers to my bank account. 2020 it is, for now.

 

Fred called it.... announced on Tuesday!!

 

I wonder if it would be possible to retrofit the wireless Carplay ? Probably not, but it would be nice if you could.

 

Don’t forget about the coffee table book and model…

….and then there’s that up, up and away… celebrating 50 years of flight 5280 feet at a time….. there you have it boys and girls. Watch the videos and see the photos in the link posted.

 

I have the same model. I love that thing with all the nice details. 🍷 🍷 🍷

 

$34,225 for the airbag dct plus taxes? They are after all the old guys retirement.

 

I don't see SiriusXM...
