The largest-displacement engine in Honda's current lineup is the Gold Wing's 1,833cc horizontally opposed six-cylinder, producing 124.7hp and 125.3lb-ft of torque. It's one of only a handful of production motorcycles with a six-cylinder engine, alongside the BMW K1600.

Looking at the spec sheet, 1,833cc and 124.7 horsepower, even against past models a horizontally opposed six-cylinder layout is just an indulgence. Add a seven-speed dual-clutch with a crawl function on top, and that's the part that gets me. This feels like the endpoint of touring engine design.

What does the crawl function even do?

Auto-crawls at low speed, basically parking assist

1833cc for 124hp is honestly kinda modest ngl

That size scares me, maintenance cost must be brutal

Flat-six has always been the dream engine layout
