• Dual rear shocks with 84 mm travel and adjustable pre-load
• 32 mm Keihin carbs
• Dual analogue dash

The wire-spoked 19" front wheel takes a 3.50 tyre and the rear 17" a 4.50.

Colours: Black, red, yellow, blue

Honda built the GL1000 as an engineering exercise to see what what was possible. The top of the faux tank opens up to reveal some storage space and the actual fuel tank is mounted low down behind the engine to keep the weight low.
