1988 Honda Gold Wing

1988 HONDA GOLDWING GL1500, BEAUTIFUL DYNASTIC BLUE (ONLY YEAR FOR THIS COLOR), ONLY 55K MILES, EXCELLENT CONDITION BOTH APPEARANCE AND MECHANICAL NO RESERVE AUCTION AND NOT FOR SALE ANYWHERE ELSE SO HIGH BIDDER WILL DEFINITELY WIN. BEAUTIFULLY PIN-STRIPED, NEW TIRES, RECENTLY RE-DONE CARBS PLUS A CORBIN LEATHER AFTER-MARKET SADDLE WITH BUILT-IN DRIVER BACKREST (ABOUT $1000 COST NEW) PLUS MORE. NO-RESERVE AUCTION STARTING AT ABOUT WHAT YOU'D EXPECT TO PAY FOR A NICE GL1200 AND THIS IS A WHOLE LOT MORE BIKE FOR SURE!! 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. THIS ONE IS JUST GETTING BROKEN IN WITH ONLY 55 K MILES. 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: ---CORBIN LEATHER "MASTER'S" SADDLE WITH BUILT-IN DRIVER BACKREST ---VERY NICELY DONE PIN-STRIPING (PER PHOTOS) ---NEW CUSHION GRIPS (JUST INSTALLEED ---CHROME PLATFORM TRAILER HITCH (EVEN HAS BALL AND COVER) WITH CONNECTOR ---CHROME SIDE FAIRING STRIPS AND FAN EXIT GRILLS ---CHROME TRUNK LUGGAGE RACK ---UPPER TRUNK SPOILER ---LOWER TRUNK SPOILER (THIS AND UPPER WERE ABOUT $600 NEW) ---CHROME MUFFLER END EXTENSIONS PAINT AND CLEAR COAT ARE EXCELLENT AND SHINY. PLASTIC IS IN EXCELLENT SHAPE. SEAT IS IN VERY GOOD SHAPE BUT DOES SHOW THE USUAL CORBIN "EDGE WEAR" FROM DRIVER MOUNT AND DIS-MOUNT AND HAS A FEW "CAT" SCRATCHES ON THE EDGE. +++TIRES ARE ALMOST BRAND NEW (MAYBE 200 MILES) DUNLOP ELITE 3'S, BEST HANDLING TIRE YET FOR THE GOLDWING. ++++ 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!!)
