In 1974, Honda took the wraps off a 1000cc flat four with shaft drive and water cooling, and the Honda Gold Wing was born. Renowned photographer Malcolm Birkitt has included coverage of Honda's dynamic, new Valkyrie in this update of his best-selling Honda Gold Wing title, as well as examining all the changes in the Gold Wing since 1995.
