Japanese two-wheeler manufacturer Honda is expected to reveal the new Gold Wing in October 2017. But ahead of that, the photos of the motorcycle have been leaked on the internet.

The new Gold Wing gets an entirely new front end design similar to the BMW Motorrad's K-series motorcycles. Apart from that, the new F6B has also been revealed in the leaked images.

The 2018 Honda Gold Wing has lost considerable weight due to the sleeker front end. Thanks to the new front steering system, the motorcycle looks sharp and aggressive. Another prominent highlight is the addition of DCT gearbox. We expect the motorcycle to draw power from the existing flat-six engine.
