2023 Honda Gold Wing Tour Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown
Positioned in Honda's touring motorcycle lineup, the 2023 Honda Gold Wing Tour relies on a 1833 cc (111.9 cu in) liquid-cooled six cylinder boxer, four-stroke powerplant. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 124.7 HP (91 kW) at 5,500 rpm while maximum torque reaches 170 Nm (125.4 lb-ft) at 4,500 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and shaft drive (cardan) final drive. With a specific output of 68 HP per liter and a 1,000 rpm working window between peak torque (4,500 rpm) and peak power (5,500 rpm), the engine character is indicating a tractable, stress-free state of tune focused on everyday usability and broad torque delivery.
On the scales, the Gold Wing Tour measures 383.3 kg (845 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.33 HP/kg (3.07 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 745 mm (29.3 in) seat height — giving shorter riders and urban commuters confident flat-foot reach at traffic stops, combined with a 1,699 mm (66.9 in) wheelbase engineered for planted straight-line stability. The 21.01-liter (5.6 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 5.6 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 375 km (233 miles) between fill-ups.
