Download or read book The Honda GL1800 Gold Wing written by Peter Rakestrow and published by . This book was released on 2021-04-14 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Evolution or revolution ... this was the dilemma Honda faced in creating the new fifth generation Gold Wing. Consumers were happy with the near-perfect GL1500 Gold Wing, but sales were declining and owners ageing.In 1996 Honda's designers and engineers decided the only way forward for the Gold Wing was a revolutionary approach. Given a brief by management to incorporate more 'Fun Factor' and make a large luxury touring motorcycle perform like a sports orientated machine, their target market was the younger rider.The GL1800 Gold Wing launched as a 2001 model and was updated in 2006 with the world's first and only motorcycle airbag system. Surviving a production return to Japan it had a second face-lift for 2012 and from that, two other variants emerged, a 'Bagger' and 'Power Cruiser', the F6B and Valkyrie/F6C.The GL1800 was destined to become the longest running Gold Wing series, but over its 17 years of production Honda faced stiff competition.Peter Rakestrow examines the GL1800's history from 1996 to the end of production in 2017, looking at model improvements through the years of this legendary marque, creating a point of reference for owners, buyers and restorers alike.
Download or read book The Longest Ride written by Emilio Scotto and published by Motorbooks. This book was released on 2013-12-08 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For his eighth birthday, Emilio Scotto received a World Atlas. Promptly he announced his plan to make a route that would pass through all the countries of the world, a route he named BLUE ROAD ONE. When, some years later, he found himself astride a black 1100 Honda Gold Wing motorcycle, Blue Road One beckoned, and Scotto set off on a journey that would last more than a decade, take him virtually everywhere in the world, and land him in the Guinness Book of World Records. This is his story, a thrill ride that begins in his native Argentina, crosses Panama in the tumultuous time of Noriega, Mexico in the midst of an earthquake, and finds him broke in L.A. where, in a chance meeting, Muhammad Ali gives him fifty dollars and a signed book. Breaching the Iron Curtain, crossing the Berlin Wall at Checkpoint Charlie, being blessed by the Pope, set upon by cannibals in Sierra Leone, fleeing Somalia on a freighter, Scotto's adventures would be unbelievable if they weren't true. His tale of touring the world from Tunisia to Turkey, Petra to Afghanistan, Yugoslavia to Singapore, traveling miles enough to take him to the moon and back, is unlike any ever told. Come along, for the ride of a lifetime.

Download or read book The Harley Davidson Story written by Aaron Frank and published by Motorbooks. This book was released on 2018-11-20 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Harley-Davidson Story: Tales from the Archives is a fascinating, visually driven overview of the motor company's rich story, created in cooperation with the Harley-Davidson Museum. The story of Harley-Davidson is a classic American tale of spirit, invention, and the right idea at the right time. From its beginning in a small Milwaukee shed in 1903, William Harley and his cousins, the Davidson brothers, set in motion what would eventually become the world’s most iconic motorcycle company. While other motorcycle companies rose and fell through the teens and 1920s, Harley went from strength to strength, whether introducing its first V-twin motor or dominating race tracks across America. The Milwaukee Miracle even prospered during WWII, building war bikes for the armed forces. By the 1950s, they’d buried their last American-built competitor, Indian, and gained a hold over the US market that they maintain to this day. A remarkable story deserves a remarkable space to recount it. Such is the Harley-Davidson Museum in Milwaukee, which opened in 2009. Harley-Davidson partnered with Motorbooks to create this book relaying Harley-Davidson’s story, as told through the museum’s displays and archive assets.
