Clear

1989 HONDA GOLDWING GL1500, CANDY SPECTRA RED, ONLY 59K MILES, LOADED WITH USUAL GOLDWING AMENITIES INCLUDING +++REVERSE+++. EXCELLENT APPEARANCE (SEE PHOTOS) AND MECHANICAL CONDITION. RUNS AND SHIFTS PERFECTLY. CLEAN CLEAR TITLE ON HAND FOR IMMEDIATE DELIVERY TO NEW OWNERR. ++++NO RESERVE AUCTION ++++ SO HIGH BIDDER WILL DEFINITELY WIN+++++++++ OPENING BID ABOUT WHAT YOU'D EXPECT TO PAY FOR A NICE GL1200 AND THIS IS ONE HELL OF A LOT MORE BIKE! ALL GOLDWINGS ARE QUIET AND SMOOTH BUT SOME ARE EXCEPTIONALLY SMOOTH. THIS IS ONE OF THOSE. EXCELLENT TIRES, NEW BATTERY, NEEDS NOTHING BUT A NEW RIDER. HAVE RIDDEN THIS BIKE SEVERAL HUNDRED MILES IN THE LAST COUPLE OF WEEKS AND WOULD NOT HESITATE TO TAKE IT ANYWHERE. HAS BEEN COMPLETELY RE-DONE AS CANDY RED NOT OFFERED TIL 1992. WAS ORIGINALLY WINEBERRY (DEEP MAROON) BUT HAD FADING SO DECIDED TO GO WITH THE NEWER COLOR. RE-PAINT PROFESSIONALY DONE. MANY (INCLUDING ME) PREFER THE 1500 TO THE NEWER GL1800 MODEL. THE 1500 HAS A MORE "CUSH" RIDE, MORE STORAGE CAPACITY, A HIGHER RATED LOAD CAPACITY, AND HAD NONE OF THE ISSUES THE 1800'S HAVE HAD. (AND, LOTS LESS COST!!!) HONDA STARTED A "WHOLE NEW BALLGAME" WITH THE INTRODUCTION OF THE FIRST GOLDWING IN 1975 AND THE GL1500 WAS A QUANTUM LEAP FROM EVEN THE "NEW FROM THE FRAME UP" PREVIOUS EDITION GL1200 THE GL1500 WAS THE FIRST WITH STANDARD: ++++++REVERSE ++++++++ ---6-CYLINDER ENGINE THAT REDLINES AT ONLY 5500 RPM (PART OF WHY THEY LAST SO LONG) ---ELECTRONIC CRUISE CONTROL WITH ACCEL/DECEL/RESUME THAT WORKS JUST LIKE YOUR CAR'S CRUISE ---ON-BOARD AIR COMPRESSOR FOR REAR AIR SHOCK ADJUSTMENT AND EXTERNAL AIR SOURCE. ---AM/FM/CASSETTE RADIO WITH INTEGRATED INTERCOM SYSTEM UPGRADED FROM PREVIOUS MODELS ---LARGER MUCH MORE COMFORTABLE SEAT FOR BOTH RIDER AND PASSENGER -- NICE EXTRAS ON THIS ONE INCLUDING: ---NEWER STYLE CHROME FAIRING GARNISH AND FRONT LOWER VENT ---CHROME RADIO TRIM AND FUEL DOOR TRIM ---CHROME SPEAKER ACCENTS (NICE ONES) ---CHROME SIDE FAIRING STRIPS ---CUSHION GRIPS (NEW) ---CHROME TRUNK HANDLE. ---WINDSHIELD HAS BEEN REPLACED AS STATED ABOVE, HAS BEEN RE-PAINTED. SIDE ENGINE PANELS AND REAR CENTER PANELS ARE ORIGINAL CANDY SPECTRA RED ITEMS. SIDE SHELTER PANELS AND LOWER FAIRING PANELS WERE REPAINTED SEPARATELY FROM THE SADDLEBAGS, FAIRING, ETC. DUE TO MY OVERSIGHT WHEN PAINTING PARTS. THESE ARE VERY SLIGHTLY LIGHTER COLOR THAN THE REST OF THE BIKE. YOU MIGHT NOT NOTICE IF YOU'RE NOT REALLY SHARP ON COLOR DIFFERENTIATION BUT DON'T WANT ANY SURPRISES. IT IS STILL A SUPER SHARP LOOKING BIKE AND LOOKS BETTER THAN A LOT OF MUCH NEWER ONES. GOLDWINGS HAVE ALWAYS BEEN KNOWN FOR LONGEVITY AND RELIABILITY AND THE 1500 RAISED THE BAR CONSIDERABLY HERE. MANY 1500'S ARE STILL GOING STRONG WITH 300K, 400K OR MORE MILES WITHOUT OVERHAUL. HAVE ACTUALLY SEEN A COUPLE OVER 500K, NO OVERHAUL. (NO, WON'T GET THAT OUT OF YOUR V-TWIN AIR COOLED HARLEY.) BIKE LOOKS JUST LIKE THE PHOTOS AND HAS GOTTEN COMPLIMENTS WHEREVER I'VE TAKEN IT. HARD TO GET PHOTO THAT SHOWS SLIGHT COLOR DIFFERENCE BUT DID TRY. AS STATED EARLIER, RUNS AND SHIFTS PERFECTLY. NOT EVEN BROKEN IN WITH ONLY 59K MILES. ++++CLEAN CLEAR TITLE ON HAND FOR IMMEDIATE DELIVERY TO NEW OWNER. ++++ CAN SHIP TO MANY SOUTHWEST LOCATIONS FOR $300 OR LESS. ALWAYS GREAT RIDING WEATHER HERE IN THE DESERT SOUTHWEST. IF YOU WANT TO FLY AND RIDE, FLY TO THE PHOENIX OR MESA AIRPORTS WHERE SHUTTLES ARE AVAILABLE TO YUMA. I'LL PAY FOR HALF YOUR SHUTTLE COST. WOULD NOT HESITATE TO GET ON THIS BIKE AND RIDE IT ANYWHERE. EVERYTHING WORKS EXCEPT THE AIR COMPRESSOR DOES NOT COME ON. WORKED BEFORE I REMOVED AND REPLACED PARTS ON BIKE (STILL SHOWS AIR PRESSURE ON SCREEN) SO PROBABLY SOMETHING I DID NOT RE-CONNECT. WILL KEEP LOOKING IF NEW TO EBAY (LITTLE OR NO FEEDBACK) PLEASE EMAIL CONTACT INFORMATION BEFORE BIDDING. MY FEEDBACK RECORD SPEAKS FOR MY INTEGRITY AS A SELLER SO THINK THAT ONLY FAIR IF YOU HAVE NO TRACK RECORD. ++++AGAIN+++ THIS IS A ++++NO RESERVE AUCTION+++, HIGH BIDDER WILL WIN WHETHER THERE BE ONE BID OR MANY. THAT BEING SAID, PLEASE DON'T BID UNLESS READY AND ABLE TO BUY AS NON-PERFORMING HIGH BIDDERS (WON'T CALL THEM WINNERS) JUST MUCK IT UP FOR THE REST OF US HONEST PEOPLE. +++ABSOLUTELY NO CAPITAL ONE AUTO FINANCE CHECKS!+++ (WE'D BOTH BE IN THE "HOME" BEFORE THEY GOT IT DONE) PLEASE NOTE DEPOSIT DUE WITHIN 48 HOURS AND BALANCE IN 7 DAYS. HAPPY TO STORE BIKE FOR REASONABLE TIME TO GIVE YOU TIME TO COME GET IT. UNDERSTAND THAT NOT EVERY ONE CAN PUT LIFE ON HOLD IMMEDIATELY TO GO GET NEW TOY. +++++++WINNER TO CONTACT SELLER WITHIN 24 HOURS, PREFERABLY IMMEDIATELY.++++++++++++ THIS IS A SUPER NICE GREAT LOOKING LOWER MILEAGE BIKE THAT IS GOING TO HAVE A HAPPY NEW OWNER.
