In the 1970s, Honda broke the mould again by creating a series of motorcycles that would rule the road for over forty years. The Gold Wing - Honda's premier touring motorcycle. From its super-smooth horizontally opposed engine to its faux tank and low centre of gravity, the Honda Gold Wing is a machine that combines reliability, comfort and style; it can take you hundreds of miles in one day. Through the 1980s and into the twenty first century the Gold Wing dominated the touring segment of motorcycling, originally being built for the American market and later being manufactured there.
In this book, Peter Rakestrow tells the story of the Honda Gold Wing from the original engineering concept through to 1987, when Honda built the last 4-cylinder Gold Wing. Covering detailed changes through the years, this book will appeal to buyers, restorers and collectors alike.

Honda Gold Wing - Tous modèles et dérivés depuis 1975
How far we have come since 1946, when the Soïchiro Honda saga began! After its Grand Prix successes in the 1960s, after the 750 Four road bikes of 1969 and 500 Four of 1971, Honda offered its customers a real GT in 1975: the Gold Wing. It would earn its letters of nobility thanks to its comfort, its handling and the simplicity of its maintenance.
From the 1000 Gold Wing of 1975 to the Valkyrie Rune 1800 of 2004, not forgetting the personalized models, this exceptional motorcycle, which revolutionized two-wheeled tourism, has been in the Honda catalog for over 30 years.
Its constant technical developments, the increase in its cylinder capacity and its passage from four to six cylinders, as well as its equipment, have succeeded in attracting and retaining a public keen on speed and comfort.
Through this magnificent work illustrated with more than 300 photos, Pascal Szymezak shares his passion for the Gold Wing and reveals all its secrets. An invitation to travel for all lovers of this prestigious motorcycle.
