For the images, we gather that there will be two versions though the original came in one version. Autocar states that while one of the versions is the standard Gold Wing, the other would most likely be a sportier-looking F6B version which comes without the box at the rear. The leaked images reveal that the large motorcycle has also received a new suspension, replacing the traditional forks on the original Honda Gold Wing. The new suspension is said to debut on the new Gold Wing and is expected to be similar to BMW’s duo-lever suspension system.

Power and torque specifics are not known yet but the engine will likely come with Euro-5 compliance. The report also finds Honda removing the clutch lever on the grey variant of the Gold Wing suggesting the inclusion of Honda’s **dual-clutch transmission or DCT** being included. Honda had added a DCT system on the **Africa Twin** as well earlier. [caption id=“attachment_4076473” align=“aligncenter” width=“825”] Grey variant of the 2018 Honda Goldwing.

The leaked images reveal that this will not change with the new versions. The dashboard also gets a new touchscreen display between the two analog dials. Honda is also expected to include the reverse gear that had originally featured on the Gold Wing making it easier to maneuver the bulky motorcycle.
