The Gold Wing reached the United States and Europe in 1975 as the GL1000, designated K0, with a 999 cc flat four, an electric starter with a kick start lever as backup stored inside a dummy fuel tank, and the real fuel tank under the seat to keep the center of mass low. Dry weight was 584 pounds, and Honda sold 13,000 Gold Wings in the United States in 1975. This page belongs to the Honda Gold Wing (first generation, GL1000), 1974 to 1979 model years; the generation page and the Honda Gold Wing model page link to the other model years, so the changes of neighbouring years can be read in order.
