(281) 506-1300 — or tap below for pricing on this Gold Wing Tour DCT.
The 2026 Honda Gold Wing Tour DCT is a full-dress touring motorcycle built on the GL1800 platform, powered by an 1833cc liquid-cooled flat-six engine paired with a seven-speed automatic dual-clutch transmission. This new Gray model is priced at $30,500 at Honda of Houston. The Tour trim adds an integrated top box for two-up touring capacity, with double-wishbone front suspension and shaft final drive completing the flagship package.
About the Gold Wing Tour DCT
The 2026 Gold Wing Tour DCT is Honda's flagship tourer on the current GL1800 platform, redesigned from the ground up in 2018 to shed weight and add technology over the previous generation's 17-year run. The Tour trim is the trunk-equipped version, adding the integrated top box for genuine two-up touring capacity that the base Gold Wing omits. The 7-speed DCT handles shifting automatically or via paddle shifters, which on an 847-pound touring bike in stop-and-go traffic is less about laziness and more about not dumping the thing at a red light. The 1833cc flat-six, double-wishbone front suspension, and shaft drive are carryover because Honda got them right when the platform launched.
Houston-Area Fit
The 5.5-gallon tank gets a Gold Wing Tour from Houston to Fredericksburg and back into the Hill Country FM roads with one fuel stop, and right now those highways between here and the Twisted Sisters are showing the first bluebonnets of the season. Temperatures in the 70s and lower humidity than summer make this the window before the heat pushes departure times to dawn. The DCT earns its keep on the ride home when you hit the 610 Loop merge at rush hour, and single-rider HOV access means 847 pounds of touring bike can skip the Katy Freeway crawl entirely.

Frequently Asked Questions: 2026 HONDA Gold Wing Tour DCT
What is the price of the 2026 Honda Gold Wing Tour DCT?

Does Honda of Houston offer financing on the Gold Wing Tour DCT?

The finance team can walk you through terms, monthly payment estimates, and any current rate promotions. Visit us at 10039 Huffmeister Rd, Houston, TX 77065 or call (281) 506-1300 to get started on an application.
What maintenance does the Gold Wing Tour DCT require?
Honda recommends oil and filter changes every 8,000 miles on the GL1800 platform, with valve clearance inspections at 16,000-mile intervals. The shaft final drive eliminates chain maintenance entirely, and the DCT transmission fluid has its own service interval separate from the engine oil. Coolant, brake fluid, and spark plugs follow Honda's published schedule in the owner's manual, which the service department at Honda of Houston can review with you at (281) 506-1300.
How does the DCT automatic transmission work on the Gold Wing Tour DCT?
Honda's Dual Clutch Transmission uses two clutches operating alternately across seven gears, so one clutch pre-selects the next gear while the other is engaged, resulting in seamless shifts with no clutch lever on the handlebar. You can leave it in fully automatic mode or take manual control via paddle shifters on the left handlebar. As the About section for this bike puts it well, on an 847-pound touring bike in stop-and-go traffic, the DCT is less about laziness and more about not dropping the bike at a red light.
Is the Gold Wing Tour DCT suitable for Houston commuting?
The Gold Wing Tour DCT is arguably one of the best highway commuters you can ride in Houston. The DCT transmission removes clutch fatigue entirely during the kind of stop-and-go traffic you hit on the 610 Loop or I-10, and as a motorcycle, it qualifies for single-rider HOV lane access, which lets you bypass the Katy Freeway crawl. The 29.3-inch seat height and low center of gravity from the flat-six engine keep the weight manageable despite its 847-pound curb weight.
How much storage does the Gold Wing Tour DCT have?
The Tour trim is specifically the trunk-equipped version of the Gold Wing, adding an integrated top box to the standard saddlebags for genuine two-up touring capacity that the base Gold Wing omits. The top box and saddlebags together provide enough volume for a weekend trip for two, with the top box sized to hold a full-face helmet. This is one of the key distinctions between the Tour and the base model.
What is the fuel range of the Gold Wing Tour DCT?
The Gold Wing Tour DCT carries 5.5 gallons of fuel, and the 1833cc flat-six typically returns around 40 to 42 mpg at highway touring speeds, putting realistic range in the 220-to-230-mile neighborhood. That is enough to ride from Houston to Fredericksburg and back into the Hill Country FM roads with just one fuel stop, which is the kind of route this bike was built for.
