The Honda Gold Wing is a series of touring motorcycles manufactured by Honda. Gold Wings feature shaft drive and a flat engine. Following the success of the ground-breaking CB750 superbike, in 1972 the company assembled an R&D design team to explore concepts for a new flagship motorcycle. The project leader was Shoichiro Irimajiri, who in the 1960s had designed Honda's multi-cylinder MotoGP engines and their Formula One V12 engine. The 1974 Gold Wing with its flat-four shaft-drive powertrain used technologies both from earlier motorcycle and automotive designs. Very much a touring motorcycle, the Gold Wing was the first Japanese production motorcycle with a water-cooled four-stroke engine. In September 1974 the press said, "The world's biggest motorcycle manufacturer's first attack on the over-750cc capacity market...". It was introduced at the Cologne Motorcycle Show in October 1974.
This Honda Gold Wing has been restored to a high standard with the paintwork and chrome presenting as 'good' quality. It has been on display and used rarely, and only on dry days. All correct numbers machine with various paperwork, we have been advised that it is running well. A current V5C is on file.
