Honda Goldwing GL 1200
GL1200
1984 - Comfort and size (now 1182cc) defines the brand for long distance riders from now on. Style/Comfort changes: advanced audio system and upgraded LCD dash. Quality/Safety changes: stiffer frame, hydraulic valve adjusters and clutch, better suspension and handling, better air suspension controls and linked brakes, four 32mm CV carburettors give better response with a light feel, without the need for accelerator pumps
1985 – GL1200 LTD. Computerised fuel injection, auto levelling rear suspension and a sophisticated trip computer alternator capacity was increased and the ignition pick-up coils were mounted at the front of the engine instead of the rear. An altered top gear made for smoother cruising in top and the fairing had better ventilation.
