The '''Honda GL1000 ''' is a [[motorcycle]] produced by [[Honda]] from 1975 to 1979. After showing the world what it could do with the [[Honda CB750K|CB750]] in 1969, [[Honda]] was ready to do it again in 1975. Honda had recently weathered a downturn following the retirement of its founder, [[Sochiro Honda]], but when the GL1000 Gold Wing arrived that year, it had become clear that Honda was a leader (if not "the") in [[motorcycle]] technology. | |||

The 1979 model GL1000 has been termed by some as the "ugly duckling" though it is mechanically same to the 1978 model. Changes for 1979 were cosmetic. Rectangular turn signals replaced the previous round ones, control levers were changed from silver to black, and twin-bulb taillight with CBX-type ribbed lenses replaced the single-bulb unit. | The 1979 model GL1000 has been termed by some as the "ugly duckling" though it is mechanically same to the 1978 model.

GL1000'78 - The fourth year for the Gold Wing (GL1000 '78) was introduced in 1978 with three available colors: Candy Limited Maroon, Candy Grandeur Blue, and Black. Fairings, common on newer Gold Wings, were still an add-on accessory. The side cover decal reads "Gold Wing GL1000" The face of the instruments were black with red KPH markings. An instrument panel was added to the center pod. The exhaust system was new and solid chrome. The wheels now had five "spokes" and were silver comstar wheels. The SOHC engine displaced 999cc and had only two valves per cylinder. The engine was an opposed four cylinder similar to the BMW. Interestingly, it also duplicated the BMW by incorporating a shaft drive. The transmission was a five-speed. The frame serial number began GL1-4000001 while the engine serial number began GL1E-4000001 | GL1000'78 - The fourth year for the Gold Wing (GL1000 '78) was introduced in 1978 with three available colors: Candy Limited Maroon, Candy Grandeur Blue, and Black.
