Honda's New Gold Wing 2009

Honda Motor Company today announced its plans for the new 2009 GL-2000 Gold Wing touring bike. The new Gold Wing will replace the industry-leading GL-1800 Gold Wing which went into production in 2001.

The 2009 GL-2000 Gold Wing will feature a larger 2.0 litre (2000 cc) 6-cylinder engine matched to a new 6-speed transmission. Honda claims the new engine will produce 165 horsepower and 157 foot pounds of torque. "This new powerplant and transmission should provide the kind of power and torque Gold Wing owners have come to expect" a company official says. With the new 6-speed transmission, the 2.0 liter engine turns only 2,500 rpm at 70 miles per hour.

The new Gold Wing will increase the safety of its riders with standard ABS brakes on all 2009 models. A rider airbag is also available as an option on the level 4 model.

The 2009 GL-2000 will be offered in the following configurations:

In addition, the completely re-designed Gold Wing offers owners lower maintenance costs with easier access to regular maintenance areas such as air cleaner, oil drain plug, oil filter and oil dipstick. A quick-remove engine protector plate has also been added to guard the oil pan from potential damage caused any road debris.

You guys leave me alone or I will call 1-800-AARP-KICKASS and some retired Mafia guys will come by you house.

Someboady say they were looking for a Mafia type?

[webetriked2]

I believe the part about the colors and ABS as standard equipment on ALL Gold Wings may be correct. The rest is probably premature. We won't have to wait too much longer to find out who/what is right for 2009.

Mike, if I had to bet a dollar, I would say no changes for 2009, as Japan Honda is gearing up for some nice improvments in 2010. There are several items on this wish list that they would do well to incorporate in the new models.

Does anyone know where the 2009 GW will actually be built? I know Honda said they are moving from Ohio to Japan, just wondering when Japan would be under production?
