Randakk's LinkedIn Profile:

Introduced in 1975, the Honda GL 1000 was a stunning technical
achievement. The original, unfaired
GoldWing was the world’s biggest, heaviest and second fastest bike available
at the time (only the mighty Kawasaki Z1 was swifter). Novel features included a liquid-cooled flat four engine, belt-driven
overhead cams, shaft drive, triple disk brakes, under-seat fuel tank,
counter-rotating alternator, two oil pumps, "floating" piston
pins, faux top shelter “tank” and detachable back-up kick-start arm to mention a few. Honda used the GL1000 to showcase its considerable engineering
prowess and put other motorcycle marques on notice that it was a force
to be reckoned with. For the first time ever, there was heavy collaboration
between Honda's motorcycle and automotive engineering teams on the '75
GL1000. Details on the original prototype.
