FROM THEIR INCEPTION IN 1975, GOLDWINGS WERE KNOWN FOR RELIABILITY AND LONGEVITY AND THE 1500 RAISED THE BAR HERE. MANY ARE STILL GOING STRONG WITH 300K, 400K, OR MORE WITHOUT OVERHAUL. WITH ONLY 24K, THIS ONE IS ALMOST LIKE GETTING A BRAND NEW 1500 FOR ABOUT ONE-THIRD THE COST OF A NEW ONE. ADDITIONALLY, THE '98 IS THE FIRST YEAR OF THE "LAST 3" OF THE GL1500 MODEL AND INCLUDED A LOT OF CHANGES AND UPGRADES FROM THE EARLIER 10 YEARS OF 1500'S THERE WERE HANDLING CHANGES AND APPEARANCE CHANGES THAT MAKE THEM DIFFERENT FROM THE EARLIER ONES.
