Cologne Motorcycle Show, 1994: 1000cc flat-four, shaft drive, water cooling-a setup that must have come as something of a shock to the two companies dominating the big touring market, BMW and Harley-Davidson. And then it just grew and grew, to 1l00cc (1981), 1200cc (1984) and in 1987 the ultimate gratification for big-bore lovers, the six-cylinder 1500cc Aspencade. Malcolm Birkitt's superb photographs ofthe Honda giant are a persuasive testimony to the old adage, "Big is beautiful."
