GL1800 Gold Wing Honda Design

Honda Gold Wing is a touring motorcycle designed and manufactured by Honda. It was introduced October 1974, and went on to become a popular model in North America, Western Europe and Australia. Over the course of its history, it has had numerous modifications to its design. In 1975 it featured a 999 cc (61.0 cu in) flat-four engine and in 2001 it featured a 1,832 cc (111.8 cu in) flat-six. In 2010, Honda decided that actually what they needed to compete in the lucrative long distance cruiser market, ll it needs is an electric screen and the spec sheet would be utterly complete. But even now, I'd be happy to have one in my fantasy garage.
