2018 Goldwing Engine and Transmission Video

[Jimmytee]

So the engine/trams video talks about the increased power of the new engine....does anyone know the actual HP and Torque figures of this new power plant? I may have overlooked but I don't think I saw anything published about this on Honda's website.

125 hp. I do believe that is at the crank. The 2001-17 were supposed to be 118 hp at the crank. The torque is also 125 ft lbs. at the crank I am sure.

I predicted that VVT would be part of the new engine design, as Honda was a leader in that technology with the early Civic engines. Anybody know if the new design would allow that to be easily integrated down the road? The new Suzuki GSXR1000 has incorporated it, to pretty good reviews.

I have an interesting question about the DCT, is there a neutral mode or button?

I'm not one to sit at red light lights revving up my engine but is there a way to give it gas without being in gear so to speak?


****EDIT****
I read the owners manual and there is a neutral mode. Good to know.

I had thought my F6B was the last bike I was buying.This changes the game. Not this year but if things keep going forward as they are,I will have a 2019 thank you very much. One question is does the gold wing have a reverse. Got some leg problems I am recovering from now but going to have to have reverse from now on.
I LIKE it !

The goldwing DCT does have reverse. The goldwing Manual does not. Both Tour models have reverse, though they are different.

The DCT does have a "N" neutral select.
