1977 Honda GL1000 Gold Wing review from United States of America
"Beautifully made, engineered, and smooth"
What things have gone wrong with the motorcycle?
Not one thing. Dead on reliable.
General comments?
At 18 this was my first bike. I even took my MC license test on it!
Not too bad around town, but turn it loose on the interstate and it all comes together.
I could ride for hours without any discomfort... And mine was naked. Lots of good memories.
