![]() Just like all Gold Wings before it, the new GL1200 uses the trusty overhead cam four cylinder layout, but all the parts are new. The GL models were getting a little long in the tooth, so they are reborn with larger 1200cc opposed Four engines. Let's start with the biggest, which in Honda’s case means the Gold Wing and its derivatives, the Interstate and Interstate Aspencade. Those holes are gone, filled in 1984 with spectacular machinery. There were also a couple holes, however small, in the Honda lineup. There were V-Twins in new directions, and tidy inline Fours with low maintenance features, and of course there was the Interceptor. A quick review of history, or at least last year, brings to mind all those new Honda engines. Performance has never had a bad name, but a look at the 1984 Honda street bikes gives performance a much better name. The fastest is faster, the quickest is quicker, the biggest is bigger.
