1988 Honda Gold Wing

+++MONDAY NIGHT -- JUST LOWERED OPENING BID TO $3500++++ STILL +NO RESERVE+ TIME TO GET IT MOVING++ 1988 HONDA GOLDWING GL1500, LOADED WITH GOLDWING AMENITIES PLUS MANY NICE EXTRAS, DYNASTIC BLUE, ONLY 51K MILES, EXCELLENT CONDITION, LOW OPENING BID WITH NO RESERVE. 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. 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: --HONDA REAR SPEAKERS WITH FADER CONTROL --SADDLEBAG SCUFF GUARDS --CUSHION GRIPS (NEW) --TRUNK AND SADDLEBAG SCUFF RAILS --CHROME TRUNK LUGGAGE RACK --CHROME FAIRING SIDE STRIPS AND COOLING FAN EXIT GRILLS --LOWER COWL TURN LIGHTS PAINT AND CLEAR COAT ARE EXCELLENT AND SHINY. PLASTIC IS IN EXCELLENT SHAPE. RUNS AND SHIFTS PERFECTLY. DOES NOT HAVE ANY HESITATION. RECENT OIL CHANGE, NEW SPARK PLUGS AND AIR FILTER SO WON'T NEED ANYTHING TIL NEXT OIL CHANGE. BIKE WAS A ONE-OWNER PER RECORDS IN OWNER'S MANUAL AND TITLE. IT WAS SOLD ONLY BECAUSE ITS' OWNER PASSED AWAY AND I BOUGHT IT FROM HIS WIDOW. IT HAD SAT FOR A FEW MONTHS SO I HAD A HONDA MECHANIC CLEAN AND ADJUST THE CARBS AND IT RUNS ABSOLUTELY PERFECTLY. TIRES ARE DUNLOPS. REAR IS ALMOST NEW. FRONT HAS ABOUT 25% TREAD LIFE REMAINING. HAS A COUPLE OF VERY MINOR COSMETIC FLAWS. NOTHING THAT DETRACTS FROM THE OVERALL VERY SHARP APPEARANCE OF THE BIKE BUT DON'T WANT ANY SURPRISES. --PART OF RIGHT SIDE LOWER FAIRING COWL HAS BEEN RE-PAINTED AND IS SLIGHTLY DULL --FRONT FENDER HAS A "RE-PAINT" STRIP BEHIND EMBLEM ABOUT ONE INCH WIDE THAT IS ALSO SLIGHTLY DULL. NEITHER OF THESE TAKE AWAY FROM THE OVERALL SHARP LOOK OF THE BIKE AND WOULD BE AN EASY FIX. PLEASE AGAIN NOTE THAT THIS IS A ++++NO-RESERVE AUCTION+++ MEANING THE HIGH BIDDER WILL DEFINITELY WIN WHETHER THERE IS ONE BID OR MANY MORE. SO +++DON'T BID UNLESS READY AND ABLE TO BUY+++ AS WILL HAVE NO MERCY ON NON-PERFORMING HIGH BIDDERS (WON'T CALL THEM WINNERS AS THEY AREN'T!!) 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) ++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 WITH ONLY 51K MILES. THANKS FOR LOOKING AND KEEP PRAYING FOR OUR TROOPS WORLDWIDE!! (USAF/USAR. RET)
