It's been a while since there's been a "new" bike in our driveway, but he found one he couldn't do without.
This is a 1977 Honda Goldwing. This model is the last year built in Japan before they began producing them in Marysville, Ohio.
Notice this model seems pretty bare bones, but look at where the gas tank is normally found. It looks normal until it's unlocked and it's like a transformer toy. The top pops up, a secret compartment pulls out, the sides fold down, and there's the coolant bottle all hidden away and the kick starter, which can be pulled out and put in place if you need it.
The real gas tank is hidden down below the seat.
It's pretty sneaky how it was designed and I imagine it was pretty cool to show off back in the day.
There's definitely work to be done, the handlebars are upside down, it's got an aftermarket exhaust, but it started right up and stayed running.
What do you think? Would you ride it? Do you like it?
