1987 Honda Gold Wing

Clear

1987 HONDA GOLDWING ASPENCADE (TOP OF THE LINE MODEL), BEAUTIFUL WINEBERRY TWO-TONE, SUPERB CONDITION BOTH APPEARANCE AND MECHANICAL, READY TO GO ANYWHERE YOU WANT TO TAKE IT. '87'S ARE HARD TO FIND. I'VE BEEN AT THIS FOR 15 YEARS AND 500 PLUS GOLDWINGS AND HAVE NEVER SEEN AN '87 AS NICE AS THIS ONE NOR HAVE I SEEN ONE THIS COLOR. I DON'T THINK YOU'LL FIND A NICER GL1200. ALTHOUGH THERE ARE MANY RESEMBLENCES, THE 1200 WAS A COMPLETE "GROUND-UP" RE-DESIGN WITH MANY IMPROVEMENTS AND INNOVATIONS. THE '87 WAS THE LAST YEAR OF THE GL1200 AND HAD MANY IMPROVEMENTS FROM THE EARLIER 3 MODEL YEARS. I DON'T KNOW IF FEWER '87'S WERE MADE OR THEY ARE JUST HARD TO FIND BUT I'VE HAD UPWARDS OF 100 GL1200'S AND ONLY A HANDFUL OF THE '87 MODELS. THIS ONE IS BY FAR THE NICEST ONE. GOLDWINGS HAVE BEEN KNOW FOR RELIABILITY AND DEPENDABILITY SINCE THE FIRST ON IN 1975. THE 4 CYLINDER HORIZONTAL OPPOSED WATER COOLED ENGINE SET A NEW BAR FOR LONGEVITY WITH MANY STILL GOING STRONG WITH 200K PLUS MILES. 300K PLUS MILES IS NOT UNHEARD OF SO THIS ONE IS JUST GETTING BROKEN IN WITH 86K. STANDARD FEATURES ON THE '87 ASPENCADE INCLUDED: ---FACTORY AM/FM/CASSETTE RADIO WITH INTEGRATED INTERCOM SYSTEM ---ADJUSTABLE FRONT AND REAR AIR SHOCKS ---ELECTRONIC CRUISE CONTROL WITH ACCELL/DECEL JUST LIKE YOUR CAR'S. ---DIGITAL DASH WITH MANY SET OPTIONS PER HANDLEBAR CONTROL MANY NICE OPTIONS ON THIS ONE INCLUDING: ---DRIVER FLOORBOARDS WITH HEEL-TOE SHIFTER. THESE ARE ACTUALLY GL1500 MARKLAND BOARDS AND SHIFTER THAT HAVE BEEN ADAPTED TO THIS BIKE. ---WRAP-AROUND WINDSHIELD - KEEPS THE WIND OFF YOU A LITTLE BETTER AND BETTER LOOKING. ---MARKLAND HIGHWAY BOARDS ---CHROME FAIRING GARNISH ---HONDA FACTORY 1200 CB RADIO WITH PASSENGER TRANSMIT ---ADJUSTABLE MARKLAND DRIVER'S BACKREST ---ADDED BATTERY VOLTAGE/OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE/TIME UNIT ON UPPER DASH. THIS BIKE WAS OWNED AND MAINTAINED BY A FACTORY TRAINED HONDA MECHANIC SO HAS BEEN METICIOUSLY MAINTAINED. RECENT SERVICE INCLUDES: ---RADIATOR RODDED AND FLUSHED ---CARBURETOR FLOAT BOWL GASKETS REPLACED ---FORK SEALS REPLACED ---FULL SERVICE OIL CHANGE ---SEALED BATTERY TIRES ARE IN GOOD SHAPE. FRONT IS 75% PLUS AND REAR IS ABOUT 50% SO GOOD TO GO FOR A GOOD WHILE. BIKE ALSO INCLUDES AN ORIGINAL OWNER'S MANUAL, TOOL KIT (GL1500), FACTORY SOFT BAG SET, AND A NEW COVER. PLEASE LOOK AT ALL THE PHOTOS. THE FIRST TWO ARE A LITTLE GRAINY, NOT SURE WHY. THE BEST ONES FOR COLOR ARE THE CLOSE-UPS OF THE SADDLEBAGS. COLOR IS DEEP MAROON, BURGANDY AND ONE OF THE PRETTIEST COLOR COMBINATIONS HONDA MADE ON THE 1200. WHEN LOOKING AT THE PHOTOS, ALSO NOTE THAT THIS ONE ++DOES NOT++ HAVE (AS MANY 1200'S DO) ---BATTERY ACID STAINS ON THE EXHAUST CHROME - CHROME WAS REPLACED AND IT NOW HAS A SEALED GEL BATTERY TO KEEP THAT FROM HAPPENING. ---TEARS ON PASSENGER ARMREST PADS - SEE PHOTO - VERY COMMON DEFECT -- NOT ON THIS ONE ---SEAT SEAM SPLITS, CRACKS - SEAT ACTUALLY HAS A COVER ON IT BUT YOU WOULDN'T KNOW IT IS A COVER UNLESS YOU KNOW. ---PIN-STRIPING PEELING OR GONE. THIS ONE IS NOT PERFECT BUT PRETTY CLOSE. ---CRACKED OR MISSING CHUNKS ON TRUNK LID. THIS ONE HAD A COUPLE BUT WERE REPAIRED. AS STATED EARLIER, THIS IS A ++++NO RESERVE++++ AUCTION SO HIGH BIDDER WILL DEFINITELY WIN. 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. +++CLEAN CLEAR ARIZONA TITLE. PRIVATE PARTY SO NO SALES TAX TO ARIZONA BUYERS++++. BIKE IS LOCATED IN SUNNY LAKE HAVASU CITY ARIZONA. NEAREST MAJOR AIRPORT IS LAS VEGAS. SHUTTLES ARE AVAILABLE FROM AIRPORT TO LAKE HAVASU.

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 FAIR TO ASK IF YOU HAVE NO TRACK RECORD. +++ABSOLUTELY NO CAPITAL ONE AUTO FINANCE CHECKS. DON'T EVEN ASK!!! ++++ CAN SHIP TO MUCH OF SOUTHWEST FOR $300 OR LESS OR ANYWHERE ELSE AT SLIGHTLY HIGHER COST. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY NICE GL1200 THAT IS GOING TO MAKE SOMEONE VERY HAPPY TO BE ITS' NEW OWNER. THANKS FOR LOOKING AND KEEP PRAYING FOR OUR TROOPS WORLDWIDE!!
