2013 Honda Gold Wing F6B Deluxe

1832cc Liquid-cooled, Fuel-injected Engine

The Gold Wing F6B Deluxe's fuel-injected, horizontally opposed six-cylinder engine is exceptionally smooth and incredibly powerful. This time-tested powerplant delivers plenty of useable power, using regular unleaded fuel. And to eliminate crankshaft-induced torque reaction at the chassis, the gearbox spins opposite the crank's rotation.

2013 Honda Gold Wing F6B Deluxe Review

A New Way To Go Everywhere.

Whether you have an hour, a weekend or a week to leave it all behind, here's a new bold and blacked-out-styled machine to satisfy that urge to get away from it all-the brand-new Gold Wing F6B Deluxe. This machine is loaded with all the good looks and key features you want, and it's all set for short hops or weekend trips. It starts with a powerful fuel-injected 1832cc six-cylinder engine that provides an unrivaled level of performance in the class. Honda's unique, horizontally opposed six-cylinder layout also contributes to an exceptionally low center of gravity. That design, along with a large and stout twin-spar aluminum frame plus a sophisticated suspension system, gives the Gold Wing F6B Deluxe remarkable nimbleness and maneuverability for superior handling. The blacked-out styling treatment with long and low lines gives the Gold Wing F6B Deluxe an aggressive look, while large-capacity saddlebags, a comfortable gunfighter-style seat, premium audio system and more means there's no need to rough it on the road. Available in standard or deluxe trim and offering a wide assortment of Honda Genuine Accessories and Honda Signature Accessories, the 2013 Gold Wing F6B Deluxe leaves plenty of room to add your own personal touch.

Honda’s new Gold Wing F6B Deluxe takes the world’s greatest touring motorcycle—our own Gold Wing and puts a whole new spin on it. Lighter, trimmer, leaner. Perfect for around-town, shorter trips, or even a weekend getaway, the Gold Wing F6B Deluxe still offers plenty of storage capacity and performance, along with many of the Gold Wing’s comfort and luxury features. Best of all, it has a clean, fresh look that’s all its own.

2013 Honda Gold Wing F6B Deluxe Features and Benefits

Low-Profile Windscreen

Part of the Gold Wing F6B Deluxe’s new look is its low-profile windscreen. Just enough coverage to offer wind protection, but not too much to isolate you from the ride. It’s a perfect touch!

Heated Grips

Heated grips with adjustable heat levels keep the hands warmer on those colder riding days. (Deluxe Model)

Audio System with Surround Sound

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**), you'll hear a three-dimensional sound field brimming with realistic sound.

Aggressive New Styling

There’s no mistaking the new F6B’s sleek new look: The bodywork is super streamlined, a new rear cowl dresses up the rear, and blacked-out styling touches means this new bike looks as good as it performs.

Glovebox

A center-mounted lockable glovebox is standard for added convenience and storage.

Blacked-out Styling

Innovative appearance with blacked-out styling applied to wheels, engine and frame.

1832cc Liquid-cooled, Fuel-injected Engine

The Gold Wing F6B Deluxe's fuel-injected, horizontally opposed six-cylinder engine is exceptionally smooth and incredibly powerful. This time-tested powerplant delivers plenty of useable power, using regular unleaded fuel. And to eliminate crankshaft-induced torque reaction at the chassis, the gearbox spins opposite the crank's rotation.

Comfortable Seat

You won't want the ride to end on a new Gold Wing F6B Deluxe—the seat is contoured and comfortable, so you and your passenger can enjoy the trip.

Adjustable Suspension

Rear Pro Arm single-side swingarm with Pro-Link single shock features remote-controlled spring preload adjustment.

Backrest

Integrated with overall design, the passenger backrest provides additional comfort and support. (Deluxe Model)

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.

Spacious Storage

Using the Gold Wing-style saddlebags means the new Gold Wing F6B Deluxe offers 22 liters of lockable, weather-resistant storage.

Self-cancelling Turn Signals

Offers the convenience of having the turn signals automatically turn off after completing a detectable right or left turn. (Deluxe Model)

Integrated Luggage.

With lockable twin saddlebags, the new Gold Wing F6B Deluxe gives you plenty of room to carry what you need, or to secure any purchases you make along the way.

Six-Cylinder Engine.

Based on the Gold Wing’s 1832cc powerplant, the Gold Wing F6B Deluxe’s engine features the same smooth power. And since the Gold Wing F6B Deluxe is lighter, it’s going to feel even more powerful.

Low-profile Windshield.

The Gold Wing F6B Deluxe’s lower windshield really opens up the cockpit, and puts you in touch with the environment. While it still offers excellent wind and weather protection, you’re going to find it’s a lot of fun to ride behind.

Two Feature-Packed Versions.

The Gold Wing F6B Deluxe comes stacked with good things, but for those who want even more, there's the F6B Deluxe: everything in the standard F6B, plus a center stand, self-cancelling turn signals, a backrest, and heated grips. And just like the standard F6B, it comes in either Black or Red
