You need to remember it took a while for new model bikes to get here from Japan. They would need lead time to have the new models here and available to show by September. In 1975 Mr. Honda lost a lawsuit over giving left-over bikes new titles for the next year. Just to prove that he could, they began production of 1976 bikes in April of 75. That's why the 75 Honda's are more rare.Comment

You know in their day, those bikes were a revelation. The first big Japanese Superbike with good handling. Better than any other large Japanese bike at the time. In 1978 the GS1000E was considered to be the first good handling Japanese liter bike. That is a very nice looking example, I must say.sigpic Too old, too many bikes, too many cars, too many things
