About this model
About the Honda GL 1000
The Honda GL1000 Gold Wing is an iconic Japanese touring motorcycle powered by a 999cc horizontally-opposed flat-four engine, introduced in 1975. The bike was revolutionary for its era: liquid cooling, OHC technology, a low riding position and outstanding smoothness. The GL1000 was produced until 1979 and laid the foundation for the later fully-equipped Gold Wing models. Power is around 48 kW (65 hp), but touring character and a low centre of gravity are its real qualities.
The GL1000 today appeals to classic Japanese motorcycle enthusiasts seeking a historically significant tourer. It is a sought-after collectable on the used market. In terms of classic status it competes with the BMW R90S and Kawasaki Z1 from the same era.

Before you buy
What to check before buying
- Check coolant and hoses for age-related leaks; the original cooling system is decades old and rubber components need replacement.
- Inspect the four Keihin carburettors for degraded seals and diaphragms; they gum up after extended storage.
- Examine the wiring harness thoroughly: 1970s looms are old and prone to corrosion.
- Ask about the alternator condition; early GL1000 examples had known charging capacity issues.
- Check the frame for rust and previous repairs; seventies bikes stored outdoors are susceptible to deep rust.
