This diecast model Honda Goldwing (1975) is Metallic Red and features working stand, steering, suspension, wheels.
The first model was the GL 1000 and created huge interest in 1975: a motorcycle with one thousand cubic centimetre cubic capacity, a water cooled four cylinder boxer engine, 82 BHP (61 kW) and a cardan shaft drive had never been built before. The petrol tank of the GL 1000 is a dummy, which in fact houses electrics and a glove compartment – the actual petrol tank is positioned in front of the rear wheel. With further variations and face lifts, the cubic capacity was increased. Later configuration variations were added such as a windscreen, complete panelling and standard suitcases up to the luxurious touring model Aspencade. After the end of the four cylinder series, a follow up model went on sale up from 1988 on, namely the six cylinder boxer Honda GL 1500.
1:12 scale (approx. 17cm long) - made by Minichamps.
