1989 Honda Gold Wing

1989 HONDA GOLDWING GL1500, LOADED WITH CHROME AND LIGHTS, ONLY 62K MILES (JUST GETTING BROKEN IN FOR A GL1500) USUAL GOLDWING AMENITIES INCLUDING +++REVERSE+++, CRUISE. EXCELLENT APPEARANCE AND MECHANICAL CONDITION. NO RESERVE AUCTION AND NOT FOR SALE ANYWHERE ELSE SO HIGH BIDDER WILL DEFINITELY WIN (AND BE VERY HAPPY!!) COMMODORE BLUE IS NAME OF COLOR BUT IS REALLY A DARK METALLIC TEAL. ONLY YEAR FOR THIS COLOR, SUPER SHINY CLEAR COAT, AND REALLY EXTRA SHARP WITH THE VERY NICELY DONE PIN-STRIPING. BIKE HAS BEEN CARED FOR AND IT SHOWS. ALL GOLDWINGS ARE QUIET AND SMOOTH BUT SOME ARE A LITTLE QUIETER AND SMOOTHER THAN OTHERS. THIS IS ONE OF THOSE. GOLDWING HAS BEEN THE TOURING STANDARD FOR QUIET AND SMOOTH SINCE THE FIRST ONE IN 1975 AND THE GL1500 WAS A QUANTUM LEAP FROM ANYTHING PRIOR WITH 6 CYLINDERS, CRUISE CONTROL, ON-BOARD AIR COMPRESSOR, AND +++REVERSE+++. SOME EVEN PREFER IT TO THE NEWER GL1800 (SUPER BIKE FOR SURE) AS THE 1500 HAS MORE STORAGE CAPACITY, A HIGHER TOTAL LOAD RATED CAPACITY, AND A LITTLE SOFTER RIDE. HONDA MADE THE 1500 FOR 13 MODEL YEARS SO MUST HAVE THOUGHT THEY HAD IT RIGHT. GOLDWINGS IN GENERAL AND THE GL1500 IN PARTICULAR ARE NOTED FOR RELIABLITY AND LONGEVITY. MANY 1500'S ARE STILL GOING STRONG WITH 300K, 400K, OR MORE MILES WITHOUT OVERHAUL. HAVE ACTUALLY SEEN A COUPLE OVER HALF A MILLION MILES, STILL GOING GREAT, NO OVERHAUL. STANDARD AMENITIES ON THE 1989 MODEL INCLUDED: FACTORY AM/FM/CASSETTE WITH INTEGRATED INTERCOM SYSTEM ON-BOARD AIR COMPRESSOR FOR ADJUSTMENT OF REAR AIR SHOCK AND EXTERNAL AIR SOURCE (YES, YOU CAN AIR UP YOUR OWN OR YOUR HARLEY BUDDY'S TIRES) ELECTRONIC CRUISE CONTROL WITH ACCEL/DECEL AND RESUME JUST LIKE YOUR CAR'S ++++LEGENDARY GOLDWING REVERSE++++++ MANY MANY NICE EXTRAS ON THIS ONE INCLUDING: VERY NICELY DONE PIN-STRIPING THAT REALLY LOOKS GREAT ON THIS COLOR TULSA VENTED WINDSHIELD WITH COLOR-CO-ORDINATED GREEN VENT (HAVE NEVER SEEN ONE OF THESE) COLOR MATCHED LARGE AIRWINGS NEWER STYLE VALVE COVERS ('98 - ' 00 STYLE) SHELTER MOUNTED CONTROL KNOB FOR HEATED CLOTHING TEMP CONTROL.

ALTERNATOR OUTPUT STRONG AT 14 PLUS VOLTS PER VOLTMETER. ++EVERYTHING WORKS+++ INCLUDING CASSETTE. HAS REAR SPEAKERS BUT DISCONNECTED THEM AS FADER CONTROL WAS DEFECTIVE. PAINT AND PLASTIC BOTH IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. HAS ALWAYS LIVED INSIDE AND SHOWS IT. DOES HAVE A COUPLE OF EXTREMELY MINOR SCRATCHES BUT YOU HAVE TO LOOK FOR THEM AND NOTHING TAKES AWAY FROM THE OVERALL SUPER SHARP APPEARANCE OF THE BIKE. CAN SHIP ALMOST ANYWHERE BUT NOW IS THE BEST RIDING SEASON HERE SO GREAT TIME TO COME TO UTAH AND SEE SOME BEAUTIFUL ROCKY MOUNTAIN SCENERY ON THE RIDE HOME. IF YOU FLY INTO SALT LAKE INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT WILL GET YOU TO THE BIKE OR VICE-VERSA. BE SURE TO CHECK SOUTHWEST AIRLINES AS THEY DON'T APPEAR ON USUAL TRAVEL SITES. PLEASE NOTE AGAIN THAT THIS IS A ++NO RESERVE AUCTION++. DETEST RESERVE AUCTIONS AND WON'T RUN ONE OR BID ON ONE AS YOU HAVE NO IDEA AT WHAT PRICE THE DAMN THING IS REALLY FOR SALE. THAT BEING SAID, DON'T BID UNLESS ABLE TO BUY AS NON-PERFORMING HIGH BIDDERS JUST MUCK IT UP FOR ALL OF US. ++ABSOLUTELY NO CAPITAL ONE AUTO FINANCE CHECKS!! DON'T EVEN ASK. IF NEW TO EBAY (LITTLE OR NO FEEDBACK), PLEASE EMAIL ME BEFORE BIDDING. MY INTEGRITY AS A SELLER IS EVIDENCED BY ALMOST 2100 FEEDBACKS, 100% POSITIVE SO THINK IT ONLY FAIR TO ASK WHO IS ON THE OTHER END IF YOU HAVE NO TRACK RECORD. EXPERIENCED IN CANADIAN EXPORTS AND HAPPY TO SEND MORE GOLDWINGS TO MY "NEIGHBORS TO THE NORTH" THIS IS REALLY A SUPER SHARP BIKE THAT IS AT THE "TOP OF THE CLASS". WHOEVER WINS THIS ONE ISN'T GOING TO BE DISAPPOINTED. THANKS FOR LOOKING AND KEEP PRAYING FOR OUR TROOPS EVERYWHERE! (USAF, USAR, RET)
