Product Description
Product Description
Twenty-five years after its launch, Honda's Gold Wing still stands unchallenged as a touring motorcycle, par excellence. Gold Wings have an unrivalled following among Japanese marques, with more than 100,000 members in owners' clubs worldwide. This book describes and illustrates not only the technical development of the Gold Wing, but also how it became a lifestyle motorcycle, from the first Gold Wing that appeared in 1974 to the much-improved GL1100, the Interstate, Aspencade, GL1200, GL1500, Valkyrie and the new GL1800.
About the Author

Honda Gold Wing
Oct 11 2009
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
As the owner/rider of several different variations of the amazing Honda GoldWing over the past 25 years, this is a great book to compliment much of what I already know about this legendary motorcycle. The photos are excellent and some of the older ones brought back lots of great memories. The details throughout the book helped expand on my knowledge of the bike from my own personal experiences. All in all, this is an excellent book for anyone interested in motorcycles in general, and in the Goldwing in particular.
