Honda Gold Wing GL1200
Honda Gold Wing GL1200

CREATOR BY ASHMINGGU
Rarely do I model the car’s 2-wheeled cousin, but after seeing an exceptional maroon GL1200 pass by on my way to school back in January, instantly did I went gaga for it. Fast forward to February and here we are with a MCBE addon of that exact motorcycle. Not only will you look cool cruising around in this good old retro full dresser, but you will also get to experience the ultimate cruising experience with its comfortable and cozy rider necessities. Did we mention the GL1200 can produce an upwards of 120hp? With a straight-four 1.0L engine, you can bet this motorcycle is fast. Last time I checked, 243km/h for a motorcycle is anything BUT slow. Probably the best motorcycle out there for those who enjoy long cruises and feeling the wind pass by, while going fast. All that whilst still being comfortable doing so.
• Motorcyle History
“The Honda Gold Wing is a series of touring motorcycles manufactured by Honda. Gold Wings feature shaft drive and a flat engine. Mooted by press in September 1974 as “The world’s biggest motor cycle manufacturer’s first attack on the over-750cc capacity market…”, it was introduced at the Cologne Motorcycle Show in October 1974. In 1983 Honda was facing a challenge in the marketplace from a new full-dress tourer, the Yamaha Venture XVZ 1200 with its DOHC four valve per cylinder V4 engine (as Yamaha’s XS Eleven Venturer had challenged the GL1100 two years earlier). Honda hit back at the Milan motorcycle show late that year by announcing a new 1984 Gold Wing that pushed its four-cylinder engine design to its limits. The bored and stroked boxer produced more power and torque; a new final drive ratio gave the GL1200 taller gearing in order to reduce noise and vibration. The four Keihin 32 mm CV carburetors were larger than those on the GL1100 engine, on the other hand, they were the same size as the ’75–’76 GL1000 carbs. Incorporating hydraulic actuation for the clutch, in addition to hydraulic tappets for the valves, made the new engine virtually maintenance-free. In order to make the Gold Wing more nimble, front and rear wheel diameters contracted (and tire widths expanded) one more time. The GL1200 was built on a new, stronger frame and despite all the improvements, the claimed dry weight of the naked bike remained unchanged at 599 pounds (272 kg) for the 1984 model year.”
