The 2025 is out!!!
Better than Black & whiteJust those two colors - Red and Gold?
It is a downgrade over the 2018 to 2024 bikes. I know there has been alot of negative talk about Honda's navi over the year, but I like it and use it all the time, and hardly ever use Android Auto because working it with the bike handlebars controls is just so clumsy..the Honda navi works better with the bikes handlebar controls.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.
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.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.
Well, if they can't resuscitate that old dinosaur they put on the 2018+ it's best they finally bury it since the majority of were always bitching up a storm about how antiquated it was. I got Android Auto and options, no need for Honda's embarrassingly poor quality Nav!It is a downgrade over the 2018 to 2024 bikes.

I was hoping Honda would had improved its navi, not eliminate it..I guess that 10 years of navi updates Honda promised us is over now...we didn't even get 8 years of updates.
Can't decide if losing the NAV altogether is a good thing or bad thing. I know some of you hate it, but I find it useful.Given the widespread adoption of Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, the Gold Wing's native navigation system has been eliminated for 2025.
I have the same model. I love that thing with all the nice details. 🍷 🍷 🍷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.

Yes, sometimes I am like an old lady, bitc%ing cause I like it, but YES......I DO LOVE THIS MACHINE!!!!NO motorcycle EVER sold ANYWHERE satisfied everyone-ever ! If you don’t like the colors buy one new from a dealership that offers custom paint jobs, don’t like the seat- get a seat that you like. Don’t like the Nav system- upgrade to what you like and on and so on.
Or perhaps motorcycle ownership is just not your thing anymore (or never was) but for me I LOVE my 2019 GL 1800 and plan on riding the wheels off it![]()
Well, the older models still has Android Auto and Apple Car Play..but with also the option of the built in navi that was very useful... and now that option has been deleted and thats a downgrade over the earlier models.Well, if they can't resuscitate that old dinosaur they put on the 2018+ it's best they finally bury it since the majority of were always bitching up a storm about how antiquated it was.

Maybe, lots of Honda's engineers are ladiesHonda can’t seem to leave that red alone….
Besides the 1985 wing, the same color scheme was offered on the 1991 GL1500.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:
