The 2023 version of the Honda Gold Wing Tour has been launched in the Indian market. Priced at Rs 39.20 lakh (ex-showroom, Gurugram), the new cruiser motorcycle has been brought to our shores via the CBU (Completely Built-up) route, meaning it is not locally manufactured. It is available in a single DCT variant and carries an identical price tag as the 2022 Gold Wing Tour. Bookings for the updated Gold Wing Tour can be made through Honda's exclusive BigWing Topline dealerships in Gurugram, Indore, Hyderabad, Chennai, Kolkata, Mumbai, Bengaluru, and Kochi. Visually, there is little to no change. The 2023 cruiser motorcycle gets all-LED lighting as standard with additional LED fog lamps, a stepped-up pillion seat, a wide front apron, and an extended electric windscreen. On offer is a single all-black colour scheme – Gunmetal Black Metallic. This means that the motorcycle has a completely blacked-out engine, exhaust, frame, silencer pipes, and alloy wheels.
