1984 Gold Wing Interstate GL1200I
1984 Gold Wing Interstate
The smooth, comfortable Interstate takes a giant step forward
for '84 with an all-new engine and chassis. Massive torque lets
the new 1182 cc engine carry big touring loads effortlessly and
smoothly. And the new, low frame gets the power on the ground
with more stability and ground clearance. When you wrap it all
up in Honda's new design fairing, saddlebags and trunk, you've
got a versatile tourer that's going to be very tough to beat--for
value as well as performance.
