1982 Honda Gold Wing

FRIDAY MORNING --------------- JUST LOWERED OPENING BID TO $2400 -------------- 1982 HONDA GOLDWING GL1100 ASPENCADE, LOADED WITH RADIO, CB, BACKREST, TWO-TONE PAINT, EXCELLENT APPEARANCE AND MECHANICAL CONDITION, MANY NICE EXTRAS, READY TO GO ANYWHERE. THIS WAS THE FIRST YEAR FOR THE ASPENCADE AND IS A REAL UPGRADE FROM THE INTERSTATE. PRETTY MUCH HAS MOST OF THE AMENITIES THAT LATER MODELS HAD UP UNTIL THE 1800 WITH ABS AND NAV PACKAGES. GOLDWING STARTED SOMETHING NEW AND DIFFERENT WITH THE FIRST GL1000 IN 1975 AND THE GL1100, ESPECIALLY THE ASPENCADE MODEL, WAS A WHOLE NEW WORLD FROM ANYTHING PREVIOUS. GOLDWINGS FROM THE OUTSET ARE LEGENDARY FOR RELIABILITY AND LONGEVITY. EVEN THE ORIGINAL 4-CYLINDERS ARE GOOD FOR 200K OR MORE MILES WITHOUT OVERHAUL WITH PROPER CARE WHICH THIS ONE HAS HAD. THE "BOXER" WATER COOLED ENGINE LASTS A LOT LONGER THAN ANY AIR COOLED V-TWIN (THE "H" WORD) SO DON'T COMPARE IT TO ANYTHING ELSE. BEGINNING IN 1980 WITH THE FIRST GL1100, HONDA MADE THE INTEGRATED FAIRING AND SADDLEBAGS AND TRUNK. THEN IN '82, THEY STARTED THE ASPENCADE MODEL WITH ALL THE EXTRA FEATURES. STANDARD ITEMS ON THE ASPENCADE INCLUDED: FACTORY AM/FM/CASSETTE RADIO WITH INTEGRATED INTERCOM SYSTEM ++FIRST HONDA CB RADIO++++ (AND THIS ONE WORKS PERFECTLY)++++ ON-BOARD AIR COMPRESSOR FOR REAR AND FRONT SHOCK ADJUSTMENT TWO-TONE PAINT SCHEME VOLTMETER IN FAIRING INSTRUMENTATION. MANY NICE EXTRAS ON THIS ONE INCLUDING: DRIVER BACKREST (FOLDS FORWARD FOR EASY PASSENGER ACCESS) AIR WINGS CHROME SADDLEBAG LIGHT BAR AND CHROME TRUNK RAIL DRIVER FOOT PEGS CHROME RADIATOR GRILL AND FRONT FENDER RAIL CHROME ENGINE SIDE COVERS CHROME TRUNK LUGGAGE RACK AND CUSTOM RACK BAG DRIVING LIGHTS AND FORK LIGHTS (BOTH WORK JUST FINE) PASSENGER FLOORBOARDS (MAY BE STANDARD ON ASP.) TRAILER HITCH RUNS AND SHIFTS PERFECTLY AND SMOOTH AND QUIET AS IS SUPPOSED TO BE. PAINT AND PLASTIC ARE IN EXCELLENT CONDITION WITH SHINY CLEAR COAT AND ONLY A FEW VERY MINOR SCRATCHES THAT DON'T TAKE AWAY FROM THIS OUTSTANDING LOOKING BIKE. EVERYTHING WORKS EXCEPT THE TAPE DECK AND CAN'T GET THE AM/FM RADIO TO PLAY ON THE SPEAKERS. CB WORKS ON THE SPEAKER JUST FINE. WILL TRY TO LOOK INTO THE PROBEM. TIRES WILL BE MATCHED DUNLOPS WITH LESS THAN 1000 MILES ON THEM SO GOOD TO GO FOR A LONG TIME. NEW FORK SEALS AND FAIRLY RECENT OIL CHANGE. JUST PUT IN NEW BATTERY ALSO. SHOULD NOT NEED ANYTHING FOR QUITE A WHILE AND WOULD NOT HESITATE TO RIDE IT ALMOST ANYWHERE. HARD TO FIND ONE OF THESE AS GOOD AS THIS ONE. PREVIOUS OWNER LOVED THIS BIKE AND SOLD IT ONLY BECAUSE HE WAS HAVING BALANCE ISSUES AND SIMPLY COULD NOT RISK RIDING IT AND DID NOT WANT TO LET IT SIT. IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A SUPER NICE GL1100 ASPENCADE, NOT SURE WHEN YOU WILL FIND ONE ANY NICER THAN THIS. I DON'T NORMALLY LOOK AT THESE OLDER ONES BUT JUST COULD NOT RESIST THIS ONE AS IS REALLY SUPER NICE. PLEASE NOTE THIS IS A +++NO RESERVE AUCTION+++ AND BIKE IS NOT FOR SALE ANYWHERE ELSE SO HIGH BIDDER WILL DEFINITELY WIN. SO -- DON'T BID UNLESS READY AND ABLE TO BUY AS NON-PERFORMING HIGH BIDDERS JUST MUCK IT UP FOR THE REST OF US HONEST FOLK. IF NEW TO EBAY (LITTLE OR NO FEEDBACK), PLEASE EMAIL ME BEFORE BIDDING. MY ALMOST 2100 FEEDBACKS SPEAK FOR MY INTEGRITY AS A SELLER SO THINK IT ONLY FAIR TO ASK WHO IS ON THE OTHER END IF YOU HAVE NO TRACK RECORD. CAN SHIP ALMOST ANYWHERE BUT THIS BIKE IS GOOD TO RIDE ANYWHERE AND FALL IS GREAT TIME TO RIDE IN THE ROCKIES AND SEE SOME BEAUTIFUL SCENERY ON THE WAY HOME. ABSOLUTELY NO CAPITAL ONE AUTO FINANCE CHECKS!! DON'T EVEN ASK!! AGAIN, IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A SUPER NICE GL1100, HARD TO FIND ONE ANY NICER THAN THIS. YOU WON'T BE DISAPPOINTED. THANKS FOR LOOKING AND KEEP PRAYING FOR OUR TROOPS WORLDWIDE!! (USAF, USAR, RET)
