1989 Honda Gold Wing

1989 HONDA GOLDWING GL1500, DEEP RED METALLIC, LOADED WITH USUAL GOLDWING AMENITIES PLUS SOME EXTRAS, RUNS AND SHIFTS EXCELLENT, NEW PAINT, EXCELLENT OVERALL CONDITION, NO-RESERVE AUCTION WITH LOW OPENING BID. NOT FOR SALE ANYWHERE ELSE, NO RESERVE AUCTION, SO WILL DEFINITELY BE SOLD TO HIGHEST BIDDER WHETHER THERE BE ONE BID OR MORE. BIKE HAS BEEN RE-PAINTED A DEEP RED THAT IS DARKER THAN THE CANDY SPECTRA RED OF LATER MODELS AND SLIGHTLY LIGHTER THAN THE STOCK '89 WINEBERRY. PAINT JOB WAS PROFESSIONIALLY DONE AND IS EXCELLENT. BUT NOT QUITE AS GOOD AS BRAND NEW STOCK PAINT. STILL LOOKS VERY SHARP AND AS GOOD AS THE PHOTOS. TITLE IS UTAH "REBUILT-RESTORED". HAD A CALIFORNIA "SALVAGE" TITLE WHEN I GOT IT. PREVIOUS OWNER BOUGHT IT THAT WAY AND DID NOT WHY TITLE WAS SALVAGE. THERE WAS NO EVIDENCE OF IT HAVING BEEN WRECKED SO THINKING WAS A "THEFT RECOVERY" AS THOSE OFTEN COME BACK SALVAGE EVEN IF NOT DAMAGED. PAINT WAS FADED SO DECIDED TO RE-PAINT THIS COLOR. IS A STOCK FORD RED SO CAN BE MATCHED IF NEEDED. I LET IT SIT FOR A WHILE SO JUST HAD THE CARBS CLEANED AND RE-BUILT PROFESSIONALLY SO RUNS JUST AS IT SHOULD. REALLY A VERY GOOD LOOKING BIKE THAT AM OFFERING FOR AN OPENING BID ON THE LOW END OF WHAT A GL1200 WOULD GO FOR AND THIS IS ONE HELL OF A LOT MORE BIKE!! WILL COMPLETE DESCRIPTION AND ADD MORE PICS LATER TONIGHT. On Aug-09-11 at 06:17:35 PDT, seller added the following information: HONDA STARTED A WHOLE NEW BALLGAME IN SMOOTH QUIET TOURING WHEN THEY CAME OUT WITH THE FIRST GOLDWING IN 1975 AND THE 1500 WAS A QUANTUM LEAP FROM ANYTHING PREVIOUS WITH ++++REVERSE+++, +++6- CYLINDERS++++, ELECTRONIC CRUISE CONTROL, ON-BOARD COMPRESSOR, AND THE SMOOTHEST QUIETEST RIDE YET. THEY HAVE ALWAYS BEEN KNOWN FOR RELIABILITY AND LONGEVITY BUT THE 1500 SET A NEW HIGHER BAR HERE TOO. MANY ARE STILL GOING STRONG WITH 300K, 400K, OR MORE MILES WITHOUT OVERHAUL (NOT GONNA HAPPEN ON YOUR HARLEY GUYS!). HAVE EVEN SEEN A COUPLE OVER HALF A MILLION MILES, STILL NO OVERHAUL, STILL GOING STRONG. SOME EVEN PREFER THE 1500 TO THE NEWER GL1800 (SUPER BIKE FOR SURE) AS THE 1500 HAS MORE STORAGE CAPACITY, A HIGHER TOTAL LOAD CAPACITY, AND A SLIGHTLY "CUSHER" RIDE. STANDARD FEATURES ON THE 1989 MODEL INCLUDED: ---FACTORY AM/FM/CASSETTE WITH INTEGRATED INTERCOM SYSTEM ---ON-BOARD AIR COMPRESSOR FOR REAR SHOCK ADJUSTMENT AND EXTERNAL AIR SOURCE ---ELECTRONIC CRUISE CONTROL +++++LEGENDARY GOLDWING REVERSE++++++ EXTRAS ON THIS ONE INCLUDE: ---NEWER STYLE CHROME ROTOR COVERS AND CHROME FORK COVER (BOTH NEW) ---NEWER STYLE CHROME FAIRING GARNISH ---CHROME FAIRING SIDE TRIM AND COOLING FAN EXIT GRILLS ---NEW CHROME MIRRORS ---NEW CUSHION GRIPS ---NEWLY RE-UPHOLSTERED SEAT ---TRUNK UPPER FAIRING \ TIRES ARE ABOUT 30 - 40% FRONT AND 50% REAR TREAD REMAINING SO GOOD TO GO FOR A GOOD WHILE. THE CHROME PLUGS IN THE TRUNK ARE TO FILL IN THE HOLES WHERE THE TRUNK HAD A CHROME BAR ON IT AT SOME POINT. CRUISE CONTROL DOES NOT ENGAGE. WILL TRY CLEANING THE SWITCHES WHICH OFTEN WORKS. RIGHT SIDE PANEL IS ORIGINAL WINEBERRY PANEL, SLIGHTLY FADED, BUT FAIRLY CLOSE MATCH. CAN SHIP ALMOST ANYWHERE BUT GREAT TIME TO FLY INTO SALT LAKE CITY AND RIDE IT BACK THROUGH SOME BEAUTIFUL ROCKY MOUNTAIN SCENERY. YOU GET TO THE AIRPORT, I'LL GET YOU TO THE BIKE. BE SURE TO CHECK SOUTHWEST AIRLINES WEB SITE AS THEY DO NOT SHOW ON TRAVEL SITES. 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 ALMOST PERFECT 2300 FEEDBACKS ATTESTS TO MY INTEGRITY AS A SELLER SO THINK IT ONLY FAIR TO ASK THAT IF YOU HAVE NO TRACK RECORD. AS STATED EARLIER, THIS IS A ++++NO RESERVE+++ AUCTION MEANING THE HIGH BIDDER WILL WIN WHETHER THERE IS ONE BID OR MORE. SO --- DON'T BID UNLESS ABLE TO BUY AS NON-PERFORMING HIGH BIDDERS JUST MUCK IT UP FOR THE REST OF US. AGAIN REMIND YOU THIS BIKE HAS A "REBUILT-RESTORED" TITLE JUST TO BE SURE YOU ARE AWARE OF THAT. NOTHING ABOUT THE BIKE INDICATES ANY DAMAGE AT ALL BUT JUST DON'T WANT ANY SURPRISES. THANKS FOR LOOKING AND KEEP PRAYING FOR OUR TROOPS WORLDWIDE, ESPECIALY THE FAMILIES OF NAVY SEAL TEAM 6!!
