      A design team is established, led by Soichiro Irimajiri, who headed up design of the five- and six-cylinder road racing engines of the 1960s. The team develops the M1, a top-secret prototype designed to explore the outer limits of the Grand Touring concept. The super-fast M1 features a liquid-cooled horizontally opposed six-cylinder engine with shaft drive features that surface in the Gold Wing line in years to come.
"Here are some closeups of the engine. The transmission appears automotive. Note the dipstick, tach drive, distributor, and the very 1500-looking intake manifolds."
