Goldwing Motorcycle Kit?
Posted by TractorNut57 on Friday, February 18, 2011 8:44 AM

Anyone ever seen a Goldwing motorcycle kit?  I have looked for one every were, I see a lot of sport bikes and the good old Harley, but no goldwings.

R/M released Harley's, but most of the Honda motorcycles were produced by Tamiya. I can't recall, but they may have released an early version say...early '80s. Fujimi also produced a GL11000.

There are a couple of diecast GL out there...I Googled and found images of them.

Recently I found a rerelease of the Yamaha XS1000 Midnight Special which I owned and rode as my primary vehicle while I lived in Montana. These kits are hard to find and prior to its rerelease, they fetched some shocking prices. Now I need to find a Windjammer front fairing and saddlebags for it.

Fujimi GL1100 was in 1/15 scale not 1/12 as most other Bike Kits.

Might be a reboxed Union kit as they did a lot of 1/15 scale kits.

Forgot to add.

I think another company did a Silver-wing model at one time(mind foggy long day)

Closest kits to the Wing are the Tamiya 1/6 Harleys and the Kawasaki KZ1300B Touring(waiting for it to get reissued).

I like the lateral V-Twins but not many kits been released Honda CX500 Turbo(1/12 & 1/6), Silver & Gold wing(rarer than hens teeth) and a few Guzzi models. Got the seethrough Guzzi California on the closet of doom.
