2012 Honda Gold Wing Air Bag Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

Positioned in Honda's touring motorcycle lineup, the 2012 Honda Gold Wing Air Bag features a 1832 cc (111.8 cu in) liquid-cooled six cylinder boxer, four-stroke configuration. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 74.0 x 71.0 mm (2.9 x 2.8 inches) with a 9.8:1 compression ratio.

On the scales, the Gold Wing Air Bag measures 423.2 kg (933 lbs) wet (curb). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 739 mm (29.1 in) seat height — giving shorter riders and urban commuters confident flat-foot reach at traffic stops, combined with a 1,689 mm (66.5 in) wheelbase engineered for planted straight-line stability. The 24.98-liter (6.6 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 6.72 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 372 km (231 miles) between fill-ups.
