The Honda Gold Wing - Classic 4-Cylinder Bikes

In the 1970s, Honda redefined motorcycling by introducing the Gold Wing, a series of touring motorcycles that would dominate the roads for over forty years.
With its smooth horizontally opposed engine, faux tank, and low center of gravity, the Honda Gold Wing offered unmatched reliability, comfort, and style. It was designed to cover long distances effortlessly. Initially created for the American market, the Gold Wing continued to lead the touring segment through the 1980s and into the twenty-first century, eventually being manufactured in the United States.
In this book, Peter Rakestrow explores the history of the Honda Gold Wing from its original engineering concept to 1987, when Honda produced the last 4-cylinder Gold Wing. The book provides detailed information on the model's evolution over the years and is a valuable resource for buyers, restorers, and collectors.
