The GL1800 Gold Wing hasn’t received any great updates since 2001, and now we get both style and technical updates for the new 2012 Gold Wing. The new model keeps us with innovation for the new generation, maintaining its spot as the best tourer around. The new body panels and styling upgrades are the first things to notice, with new headlights, grey side panels and an updated rear layout with a centrally-mounted light.

Enjoy.
