The Honda GL1200 was the first wing to do away with the standard version and offer only full-dressed touring bikes. The first few years saw a handful of standards, but then they were phased out. The Honda GL 1200 Gold Wing ran with a special fuel-injected "limited edition" model. For those who like a slightly rougher more "bike" touring ride the 1200 is a great piece of machinery whose only real competition was the Yamaha Venture Royale, which while rougher outperformed the Honda 1200 GL in many ways. The GL1200 rear shock is an open type shock, which is to say that inside housing there is an air bladder, a fluid reservoir and a open hydraulic cylinder which has a series of valves and seals.
