1976 HONDA GL1000
Introduced in 1975, the Honda GL 1000 was a stunning technical achievement. The original was the worlds biggest, heaviest and second fastest bike available at the time (only the mighty Kawasaki Z1 was FASTER).
Novel features included a liquid-cooled flat four engine, belt-driven overhead cams, shaft drive, triple disk brakes, under-seat fuel tank, counter-rotating alternator, two oil pumps and detachable back-up kick-start lever.
With the GL1000, for the first time, Honda engineers from both two wheeled and four wheeled design shops co-operated in the final signing off of the 1975 Goldwing, a true milestone in motorcycle design.
1975 SUZUKI RM125
The RM series of Moto-Cross machines were launched in 1975, replacing the old TM models. The range ran from 50cc right up to 400cc, and were very successful off the back of Suzuki’s World championship winning works machinery. By 1981 the models adopted liquid-cooling and the Full Floater swing-arm, a giant evolutionary leap in the handling stakes, giving Suzuki a real edge against the competition at that time. The extra performance of this model was achieved through more radical porting, which was hand finished. Re-designing the expansion chamber and a larger Mikuni carburettor complimented the additional port work.
