Celebrating its 36th production year, Big Red claims an astounding 640,000 unit sales of the name sake model since its 1975 model year debut.

Essentially a class of its own in the luxury touring market, this year The Wing faces off against a formidable challenger in the Inline-Six powered BMW K1600GT.

Straight angles and lines replace the predecessor’s curvier contours, particularly noticeable in the fairing and saddlebags.

A cursory glance seems to reveal the same old Wing. Closer examination side by side with the previous year’s model and styling revisions are apparent.

The new fairing shape isn’t all about looks, with Honda touting improved wind protection to the rider’s legs and lower body.

The saddlebags also feature practical improvements with their new form, with an extra seven liters of storage space claimed.

The new bags team with the standard trunk and fairing pockets for 'well over 150 liters' of storage.
