Honda's 2020 Gold Wing Updates 8 Months Later

Posted In: News


In case you are new to Gold Wings (in which case...welcome!) or have been too busy riding (we're jealous!) to keep up with the updates over the last few years, let us quickly clue you in.

Way back in 2018 Honda released the newly redesigned Gold Wing, which led to an avalanche of blog articles, millions of YouTube video views and just as many opinions. Some people loved everything about it while others...not so much. If you are interested in more detail, you can read: Fred Harmon's 2018 Gold Wing First Ride Review or watch this video:


Then, in 2019, Honda provided the Gold Wing with a much needed update which promised to improve the bike's navigation system. Specifically, it allowed the rider to enter up to 99 waypoints into the bike's GPS, as well as increase the XM satellite radio source in low-signal areas. Additionally, the update let the onboard system communicate better with the iPhone X. If you haven't already, you can download the update HERE

About 8 months ago, Honda again released some key updates and improvements for their 2020 Gold Wing and 2020 Gold Wing Tour. You can read all about it in detail HERE

They focused on low-speed maneuverability by refining the fuel injection and DCT systems so that they would work better when navigating around a parking lot or other low-speed situations. The 2020 Gold Wing Tour model benefited from updated suspension settings as well as larger passenger grab rails. Honda also added two new attractive paint options: Matte Ballistic Black Metallic for the DCT models and a Pearl Glare White available for the Tour version.

Below are the 5 new accessories being introduced for the 2020, 2019, & 2018 Gold Wings:

Tall Passenger Grab Rails

Black Chrome Saddlebag Emblem

Wide Rider Footpegs

Trunk Installation Color Kit - Matte Black Metallic

Trunk Installation Hardware Kit

CB Radio - changes between 18/19/20?
Have there been any changes to the CB radio (hardware or firmware) for the 2020 model year? I have a specific problem with receive volume on my 2019 Tour/manual that wasn't affected by the 2019 audio system update. Haven't been able to apply the 2020 update yet. Sometimes I wonder if I was the only one who bought the CB...

2018 Honda Goldwing DCT Tour
I have the 2018 DCT tour I think it is a great bike, when I purchased the bike I saw that the trunk and saddle gags were smaller it was not a big deal for me because I made the decision to buy the bike and I just accepted the fact that they were smaller. It rides great and handles fine. I don't have a problem with the gps, it takes me everywhere I have programmed in it, no problem with the radio I listen to my music through my headsets. I have the CB on my bike it works great, now with that said the seat sucks Honda could could have done a better job.

Needed Improvement
I have a 2019 DCT Gold Wing and when setting up cones and practicing really low speed tight turns the bike would hesitate and sometimes stall having me stomp my foot down to avoid the bike dropping. Glad to hear that Honda refined the fuel injection and DCT systems on the 2020 so that they would work better when navigating at slow speeds. Too bad mine does not.

Much needed
I have the 2019 and it even stalls in very slow speed maneuvers. Not good for a big, heavy bike.
