HONDA GOLD WING

Early fans of the Honda Gold Wing discovered a bike that was meant to be ridden and enjoyed over the wide open spaces. And with the aftermarket supporting their riders' whims, Honda's Gold Wing soon came to define a new class of motorcycle -- the heavyweight touring machine -- as well as a new class of rider -- the Winger. It was a revolution the rest of the industry could not ignore -- the competition quickly found itself following Honda's lead into uncharted territory.

This carefully researched book follows the evolution of the Gold Wing from its inception through to present models, highlighting the design features and competitive environment in which Honda drove the development of this truly landmark machine.
