Introduced in 1975, the Honda GL 1000 was a stunning technical
achievement. The original, unfaired GoldWing was the world?s
biggest, heaviest and second fastest bike available at the
time (only the mighty Kawasaki Z1 was swifter). Novel features
included a liquid-cooled flat four engine, belt-driven overhead
cams, shaft drive, triple disk brakes, under-seat fuel tank,
counter-rotating alternator, two oil pumps, "floating" piston
pins, faux top shelter "tank" and detachable back-up
kick-start arm to mention a few. Honda used the GL1000 to
showcase its considerable engineering prowess and put other
motorcycle marques on notice that it was a force to be reckoned
with. For the first time ever, there was heavy collaboration
between Honda's motorcycle and automotive engineering teams
on the '75 GL1000. Here's some neat photos, etc. on the original
prototype.
