Product Description
Twenty-five years after its launch, Honda's Gold Wing still stands unchallenged as a touring motorcycle par excellence. It has been transformed from a Japanese motorcycle into an American one, and gained cult status in the process. Gold Wings have an unrivalled following among Japanese marques, with more than 100,000 members of owners' clubs worldwide. The Gold Wing first appeared in 1974, but poor marketing resulted in initially disappointing sales. Revisions spawned the much-improved GL1100, followed by the Interstate, and Aspencade. In 1984 the totally new GL1200 appeared. Further developments have included the GL1500, the Valkyrie and the new GL1800. This book describes not only the technical development of the Gold Wing, but also how it became a lifestyle motorcycle.
