2021 Gold Wing Tour
I am glad to see Honda is listening to their Gold Wing Riders, at least it is a start. I am totally on board with increasing the size of the Trip Trunk. Now Honda lets increase the size of the Saddle Bags and I believe you will see a renewed interest come back to the Gold Wings. You definitely need to broaden the Colors and Color Schemes. You also definitely need to continue The Red and Black, but also the 1995 2-tone Dark and Light Red metallic Paint. I believe it was called Brite Red Metallic with contrasting Dark Cabernet Metallic inserts on the gas tank, trip trunk, saddle bags and fairing. Lets face it, Honda Gold Wings are Top Tier Premier Motor Cycles. Time to show Harley in 2021 Gold Wing is Back!!! Larry Hall

Accessories from 2021 that fit 2018-2020
Rick, since you have a connection, do you see a way Honda makes the top case and speakers available for the previous models as accessories?

2021 Gold Wing
I own a 2019 Tour DCT. I like the upgrades alot. It seems like Honda is acknowledging the It's too small crowd by increasing the Top Case volume. It's great that it can hold 2 XXL helmets. Helmet stowage has been an issue from the get go. The 45 Watt speakers are a nice touch. I usually ride with helmet and headset so they weren't critical, but there are times I would like to blast the tunes. I find it interesting they addressed the cushion of the backrest but not the rest of the seating. The colors too need to be widened....Harley charges premiums for their paint schemes, why not the Wing? Overall, I appreciate Honda modernizing the bike the many ways it has.

short legs
I bought a 2012 GW and had drop down wheels installed before i took possession . I am only 5'6 tall and the 29 seat height put me on my toes when I stopped. I have since had the bike triked. I love the Gold Wing, but until they can lower the seat, I'll keep my trike. Love the bike though.

Really like the Blacked out DCT Tour.
I like the look of the all black DCT tour. Also that they made the trunk bigger. But as I have only owned my 2019 DCT Tour for 9 months, (Which I love by the way. Best bike I've ever ridden, love the automatic and the walking modes.) chances are pretty slim that I will be going for a new Wing this year. Although you never know, I've been known to do dumber things.

Love to have Bluetooth
I have decided to go with Bluetooth on my 2012 1800 Goldwing. I watch the video of the comparison of the Cardo Pack Talk Bold between the Sena 50s. I really do like the Cardo Pack Talk Bold better. I would like to know will there any updates to the Cardo Pack Talk Bold anytime soon, before I purchased them.

Great Bike
I have the 2012 1800 Blue Goldwing, which I have trike. I really like that the trunk is larger and the passager seat is more comfortable. I also like the idea of the Apple play. Thanks

I have looked at the new generation of goldwings
I own 4 goldwings, 2-1200's and a 01 & 03. I wouldn't trade any of them for a new goldwing.....

2021 Goldwing
Face it guys, we’re spoiled. I started with a new 1984 Interstate and 147000 miles and five alternators later graduated to a 1994 1500 SE. 88000 miles later bought my 05 1800 that currently has 80000 miles and counting. We’ve all already owned the best GOLDWINGS that Honda will ever manufacture. Let it go. 😂😂😂

Honda’s out of touch with Goldwing Riders
I’ve had 3 Wings. 94 1500/07 Wing (new) and just bought a 2019 Wing last yr. The smaller saddlebag/trunk capacity was a shocker. Impossible for 2 people to travel on. The seat is TERRIBLE! I spent 500 before riding it to get my seat padding beefed up. Can’t ride for 90 mins before getting antsy, then it gets down right painful. Rode my 1500/1800 for up to 5 hours with no issues. I’m looking for a new aftermarket seat presently. More $$, needlessly. 2021 Colors SUCK! Clearly Honda Goldwing Designers don’t know their customers who spend more than most cars buying their product! That is sad!

New Valkyrie
Is the a new Valkyrie coming as well. Australia is waiting.....

2021 Gold Wing
The new model features nice improvements but not nearly enough to convince me to trade my 2014 GW in on one. The proverbial elephant(s)-in-the-room remain the meagre luggage space and fuel capacity. Increasing the trunk capacity simply will not cut it. I am not a fan of the new front end and do NOT appreciate Honda doing away with the external tip-over engine/bag protection bars. And do not get me started on the smaller 'wind-jammer' (fairing). If I needed to put up with any or all of these nags, the K1600 Grand America would be my preference. I am in the process of revitalising my '14 instead, changing its colour in the process. It will be as good as new, with numerous subtle Wing Stuff improvements, when completed and streets ahead (in my opinion of course), compared to that on offer at present.

2021 gold wing
I have a 2018. Love the bike its a DCT. I do agree the larger trunk will serve them well. I would like to hear the new sound system, that could be a good thing as well. I would like them to make a retro fit for the new trunk for the existing bikes if people want that. I would get it if they would factory paint them to match color.

2021 wing
Since 1993 2 1500's and 2 1800s...not sure what Honda is doing...New gen is not a full on tourer like my 2008 And and won't run with the current sport tourers, like my FJR and it's 30k? Really?

Just a new ST1800
For most people that have traveled 2 up on the 2001 thru 2017, the new style is just too small. The 2018 and up is just a ST1800. In cold or cooler weather, the wind protection is not there. The seat is smaller and very uncomfortable. I love the DCT and the brakes are an improvement. Not so the unproven new engine with lots more maintenance and shorter intervals. Just hoping my '13 will last until I am finished riding. Most of the people singing the praises for the new Wing have never owned the previous models. No comparison when riding long days, big miles. It is faster and has more electronic features, but not a selling point for me.

2021 Goldwing
First let me say that I love the Honda Goldwing's. I had a GW1500 for 17 years and then moved to the 2018+ because we retired and were going to travel and did not want to travel on an older bike even though it would of been fine. I would have to agree with the above comments, however, in my opinion the bike looks more like a BMW than a Goldwing. The trunk is too small for long trips for 2-uppers. I wonder if Honda will retro the new trunk and add Android Auto at no cost or reasonable cost? The improved backrest on the 2021 does not look comfortable because of the cavity between the seat and the backrest, there is a concaved space there that would not fit a persons back very well. I already had to replace the rider and passenger to make it more comfortable for long rides. I will keep my 2018+ and hope that Honda makes retro improvements available.

2021 thoughts
I like everything they are doing. Not enough to motivate me to trade in my 2018. But, if I was looking for a new bike, the DCT Tour would be what I would go with.

It's about time!
I have the 2019 DCT - love the bike, but was miffed that Honda A) made the trunk so small (relatively speaking) and then had the audacity (or stupidity?) to have only one helmet lock on the bike and B)made the pillion grips such that you couldn't wrap tie-downs to them, forcing me to get an after market add-on that gives me the eyelets through which I can put a Rock trap or the straps for my Kuryakin bag. So in 2020 they fixed the grips - making them normal and useful. And now - hurrah! - they increased the trunk - yay! Too late for me, but maybe they listened to owners of the '19 and '20 models. Now, if only they would make the GPS less terrible... And for that matter, since the USB connection is only 5V I don't think it can be used to keep a Garmin or other real GPS unit going...so perhaps do something about that. PS - oh, and @Rich - I think you meant crotch rocket

2021 Goldwing Thoughts
I have had an F6b and now ride a 1998 1500 trike. The increase in trunk space is a great move on Honda's part. I have two wishes for Goldwing: more chrome and a factory-made trike. At age 78, I am in the trike season of my life. Still, I love Goldwings!

I will keep my 2012 gold wing fire red. Crochet rockets are for the new young rider.

2021 Goldwing
I have checked out the 2020 Gold wings while visiting in Florida. I have owned 4 1500 Gold wings and 2 1800 Gold wings the one I ride now is a 2006 silver trike with now 35,000 miles on it. I have been in 45 states, some more than twice and twice in Canada. I am stuck on Gold wings. The new Gold wings are revolutionized for certain. However, the problem I have personally is the size of the bike. I wish Honda would have made this bike larger. It seems more like a crotch rocket than a touring bike and don't sit comfortable like the Gold wings i am accustomed to. I'm keeping the one I have until Gold wings fit my fancy.

I thought I saw Honda Europe have a launch for the 21 model or am I mistaken

A Change is Needed
Given the feedback I received the last two years from owners of the new style - I think its time to bring back the luggage space and forget chasing BMW's K1600GT. But please feel free to go to 2500cc, please!
01.05.2021
I'm OK with that.
Since I bought a new 2018 just 4 months ago I am happy to hear that. Told my wife this was the last bike I would need to buy (said that with the one before that, too) so don't want a new bike to come out that I just have to have. Not even sure what they could change that would entice me to even consider an update. Maybe in another couple of years she'll forget that last bike comment...

'21 Wing
The reason for no '21 Wing is could be due to all the left over '19', and '20 models. I don't think this new style is flying off the shelf. Or maybe Honda is renaming it the ST1800

Thanks for the update, I have been wondering about the 2021 Gold Wings.

Help me to decide!!!
I am looking to go Bluetooth on my 2012 1800 Honda Goldwing. This really help me to decide. I think that I'm going to go with the Cardo unit, but I'm going to wait about a few months, before I purchase. I want to wait and see if any changes will be made to the Cardo unit. Thank you very much for helping me in making my decision.
