Review
"[It will] find its way onto the shelves of every Gold Wing enthusiast and every collector of motorcycle print memorabilia." -- Canadian Biker
From the Inside Flap
This carefully researched history of the evolution of the Gold Wing is written for the enthusiast. Motorcyclists who truly love the Gold Wing will treasure this book. Lavishly illustrated with full color photography, it's a collector's delight, showcasing every major twist and turn in the history of this great motorcycle.
The Gold Wing was conceived originally as a way for Honda to show off its engineering prowess, yet the early fans of the Gold Wing cared little for corporate strategies-they 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, and, once again, the competition quickly found itself following Honda's lead into uncharted territory. The full story is as fascinating as this landmark motorcycle.
