2012 HONDA GOLD WING GL1800 PREMIUM AUDIO AND COMFORT, Plan to go everywhere. There's big news when it comes to the new 2012 Honda Gold Wing. Because we've taken what is the world's best touring motorcycle and made it even better. The new bodywork is the first thing you'll notice, complementing what is the best engine and chassis package the touring world has ever seen. Look a little further and you'll discover great new improvements to the audio system, and the Gold Wing's comfort, too. And there's new functionality, as well, like integrated iPod connectivity. If you thought the Gold Wing was the world's ultimate touring motorcycle, you were right. And if you think the new Gold Wing is even better, you're right again. New for 2012 New Styling: The Gold Wing's new design aims for a more integrated appearance, with a sporting edge and visual flow line linking the front to the rear, and a new, integrated taillight and saddlebag treatment. Other touches include redesigned front fascia and air intake, blacked-out headlight garnish, and new instrument panel fonts and design. Improved Ride Quality: New suspension settings are a part of the reason your new Gold Wing offers handling that can put many a sportbike to shame. Gold Wings have always offered the best overall handling of any touring machine, but these new settings really improve things when you decide to dial it up a notch. Clear-Coated Wheels: For 2012, our wheels are clear-coated from the factory for an improved appearance and easier cleaning. Improved Wind and Weather Protection: The 2012 Gold Wing's new layered-surface bodywork does more than just look great. We took the opportunity to fine-tune the rider and passenger environment. There's appreciably more wind and weather protection around your lower legs, so you'll experience less buffeting and warmer legs on those cool days. Enhanced Storage Capacity: When we redesigned the new Gold Wing's bodywork, we took the opportunity to increase the storage capacity in the saddlebags by seven liters, upping total capacity to over 150 liters including trunk and fairing pockets. iPod Connectivity: Now you can connect a compatible Apple iPod player or other USB mass storage devices, such as flash drives that contain MP3, WMA6 or AAC music files, and control them through the Gold Wing's audio controls. The connector is located in the lockable trunk, where devices can be conveniently carried and discreetly stored. Audio System with Surround Sound: Featuring a surround-sound system that's tuned exclusively for the Gold Wing. When using the speakers (SRS CS Auto*), the audio image is enhanced along with deep low tones, producing a powerful surround sound. When using the headsets (SRS Headphone**)
