Honda is celebrating 50 years of the Gold Wing by launching a model that redefines luxury touring, for Zimbabwean riders who live for the open road from the winding paths of the Eastern Highlands to the long, hot stretches to Victoria Falls—the 2025 Gold Wing promises an unmatched blend of power, comfort and smart technology.
The 2025 Gold Wing boasts a sleek, aerodynamic design that looks as good on Harare’s Samora Machel Avenue as it does cruising past the Great Zimbabwe ruins. The special 50th Anniversary model comes with unique badges and colours, and as a special treat for collectors it includes a commemorative book and a detailed tabletop model.
At its heart is a legendary 1833cc flat-six engine, known for its incredibly smooth and powerful delivery. With around 120 horsepower and a massive 126 lb-ft of torque, it has more than enough grunt to overtake lorries on hilly highways while remaining surprisingly fuel efficient for those long, fuel-conscious journeys across the country.
You can choose your ride, the engaging 6-speed manual for riders who love to be fully involved or the advanced 7-speed Dual Clutch Transmission (DCT) that shifts for you, making stop-start city traffic in Bulawayo a breeze.
This Gold Wing is packed with features designed for a modern riding experience, with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, you can navigate to Nyanga or stream your favourite tunes without fumbling with cables.
A bright 7-inch TFT display puts your navigation, music and bike data right in front of you.
Relax and ride, adaptive cruise control is a game changer for long, open roads, automatically maintaining a safe distance from the vehicle ahead.
Heated grips and seats are perfect for those chilly early morning rides in the Vumba or during our winter months.
Features like Honda’s traction control (HSTC), hill start assist and ABS give you extra confidence on unpredictable tar, gravel or in sudden summer downpours.
The plush, ergonomic seat is designed for all-day riding without fatigue. The adjustable windscreen lets you manage wind buffeting perfectly and the generous storage compartments mean you can pack for a weekend at Troutbeck or a week-long adventure without a problem.
The 2025 Honda Gold Wing isn’t just a motorcycle it’s a first-class ticket to exploring the world in unparalleled comfort and style. It’s built for riders who believe the journey is just as important as the destination.
If your dream is to conquer every corner of our beautiful country on two wheels, the Gold Wing is ready to make that dream a reality.
