The Gold Wing GL1000 accelerated the demand for larger motorcycles in the American market. A long-distance touring model rather than a sport model, it incorporated innovative technologies and ideas.
- The world's first water-cooled, 4-stroke, 4-cylinder, horizontally-opposed engine
- Shaft drive
- Fuel tank inside the frame (below the seat)
The subsequent releases of the 1100, 1200, and 6-cylinder 1500 established a firm market for touring models. |
