1988 Honda Gold Wing

EXCEPTIONAL1988 GOLDWING GL1500!!! EXCELLENT APPEARANCE, ENHANCED PERFROMANCE, SUPER SHARP BIKE! VERY FAST ACCELERATION, LOTS OF EXTRAS, ONE OF THE BEST I'VE HAD RECENTLY. READ THE ENTIRE DESCRIPTION BEFORE DECIDING IF INTERESTED. WHOEVER WINS THIS ONE WON'T BE DISAPPOINTED! ONLY YEAR FOR THIS COLOR (DYNASTIC BLUE) AND BIKE LOOKS AS GOOD AS THE PHOTOS. HAS THE USUAL GOLDWING AMENITIES (LISTED LATER) PLUS EXTRACTOR EXHAUST CHAMBER AND TRIGGER WHEEL MOD. FOR INCREASED PERFORMANCE. ALSO HAS PROGRESSIVE SUSPENSION AND METZLER TIRES FOR SUPERB HANDLING. THIS ONE IS FAR AND AWAY THE BEST EARLY YEAR GL1500 I'VE HAD IN A LONG TIME. HAS OBVIOUSLY BEEN WELL MAINTAINED AND GARAGED FROM PERFORMANCE AND APPEARANCE. NO RESERVE AUCTION AND NOT FOR SALE ANYWHERE ELSE SO HIGH BIDDER WILL DEFINITELY WIN. HONDA SET A WHOLE NEW STANDARD FOR QUIET AND SMOOTH WHEN THEY PUT OUT THE FIRST GOLDWING IN 1975 AND THE GL1500 WAS A QUANTUM LEAP FROM ANYTHING PREVIOUS. 6-CYLINDERS, SHAFT DRIVE, WATER COOLED, CRUISE CONTROL, REVERSE, AND THE SMOOTHEST QUIETEST TOURING BIKE EVER. GOLDWINGS HAVE ALWAYS BEEN KNOWN FOR LONGEVITY AND RELIABILITY AND THE 1500 SET A WHOLE NEW STANDARD THERE AS WELL. MANY ARE STILL GOING STRONG WITH 300K, 400K, OR MORE MILES. I'VE ACTUALLY SEEN 2 WITH OVER HALF A MILLION MILES, NO OVERHAUL, STILL RUNNING GREAT. THAT WILL NEVER HAPPEN WITH A V-TWIN OF ANY MAKE. THIS ONE IS JUST GETTING BROKEN IN WITH 103K MILES. RUNS AS QUIET AND SMOOTHLY AS ANY I'VE HAD. SOME EVEN PREFER THE 1500 TO THE NEWER GL1800 (SUPER BIKE FOR SURE) AS THE 1500 HAS MORE STORAGE SPACE, A HIGHER RATED OVERALL LOAD, AND A SLIGHTLY MORE "CUSH" RIDE THAN THE 1800. STANDARD FEATURES ON THE '88 MODEL INCLUDED: --FACTORY AM/FM/CASSETTE RADIO WITH INTEGRATED INTERCOM --ELECTRONIC CRUISE CONTROL WITH ACCEL/DECEL AND RESUME (JUST LIKE YOUR CAR'S) --ON-BOARD AIR COMPRESSOR FOR ADJUSTING REAR SHOCKS AND EXTERNAL AIR SOURCE ++++LEGENDARY GOLDWING REVERSE +++++ MANY NICE EXTRAS ON THIS ONE INCLUDING: ---EXTRACTOR EXHAUST CHAMBER.

THIS BIKE IS AS FAST AS ANY GL1500 I'VE EVER RIDDEN. HAS ABSOLUTELY NO HESITATION (LIKE MANY EARLIER ONES DO) IF YOU WANT ONE THAT "DEFICATES AND DEPARTS", YOU WON'T DO ANY BETTER THAN THIS ONE. MY KEEPER IS A '94 AND THIS ONE WILL WALK OFF AND LEAVE IT!!

CAN SHIP ALMOST ANYWHERE BUT GREAT TIME TO COME TO BEAUTIFUL SUNNY YUMA (WINTER LETTUCE CAPITAL OF U.S.) AND RIDE IT HOME. FLY INTO PHOENIX AND TAKE THE SHUTTLE TO YUMA), WOULD NOT HESITATE TO TAKE THIS BIKE ANYWHERE YOU CAN GET BY LAND FROM HERE. ++ABSOLUTELY NO CAPITAL ONE AUTO FINANCE CHECKS!! DON'T EVEN ASK! ++ THIS IS A VERY NICE BIKE WITH A STARTING BID AT ABOUT WHAT YOU'D PAY FOR A NICE GL1200 AND THIS IS A WHOLE LOT MORE BIKE THAT IS JUST BARELY BROKEN IN.
