The Honda Gold wing from zero to GL1800 in one easy lesson, Nov 1 2011

This review is from: Honda Gold Wing: The Complete Story (Hardcover)
I thoroughly enjoyed this book as I knew nothing about the Gold Wing and I was ready to research them in order to choose one. The book is very comprehensive and quite complete when it comes to the history of the founder of the current Honda Motor Company. It was fascinating following the progression of the Gold Wing from its predecessor design leading to the first GL1000 in 1975 and every little incremental lesson learned and resulting minor improvement there after. The Gold Wing is a mature product today because Honda found a nitch and gave the motoring public what they wanted.
