I had the first 1975 Gold Wing in Akron.
After my friend (who raced Yamahas) bumped the timing up on my wing, I had to start using Hi-octane gas, but the performance was unbelievable, and the MPG went up to 48 too. I could hang with the 902 Kawasakis, and those were the fastest bikes that I remember back then.
