The Honda GL1000 Gold Wing, launched in 1975, was Honda's first foray into the luxury touring motorcycle market and quickly became an icon. This first-generation model, with its distinctive flat-four engine and shaft drive, represents the purest expression of Honda's touring vision before the model grew larger in subsequent iterations.
This 1978 example presents well for its age, remaining in original condition with matching serial numbers. The bodywork, paintwork, and interior are all rated as very good with few imperfections, whilst the mechanical condition shows age-commensurate wear. With a good service history and a valid technical inspection until May 2028, this GL1000 offers an opportunity to own an original example of Honda's groundbreaking touring motorcycle.IMG_0035 Lamand.jpeg3.33 MB
