1998 Honda Gold Wing

1998 HONDA GOLDWING GL1500 SE , PEARL CHAPARREL BEIGE TWO-TONE, TOTALLY LOADED WITH GOLDWING OPTIONS, SE ADDITIONS, AND MUCH MUCH MORE! LOOKS PERFECT, RUNS AND SHIFTS PERFECTLY, AND ONE OF THE LAST BIKES PIN-STRIPED BY THE LEGENDARY CHARLIE BUZZARD BEFORE HE PASSED AWAY. THIS ONE REALLY HAS IT ALL AND ONLY 52K MILES SO JUST BROKEN IN. BUZZARD WAS ONE OF THE BEST KNOWN PIN-STRIPERS EVER. HE WAS ALREADY ILL WHEN HE DID THIS ONE AND HAD TO REST SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE FINISHING IT. NOTE THE TRADEMARK "BUZZARD" ON THE TRUNK. JUST BEING ONE OF THE LAST OF HIS MAKES THIS BIKE PRETTY SPECIAL FOR THAT ALONE. YOU WON'T FIND ONE ANY NICER AND WITH MORE OPTIONS THAN THIS ONE. WILL ITEMIZE ALL AMENITIES AND OPTIONS LATER BUT JUST A FEW ARE: +++FACTORY CB RADIO+++, BEAUTIFUL PIN-STRIPING+++++ DRIVER BACKREST++++PASSENGER ARMRESTS++++ DRIVER FLOORBOARDS WITH HEEL/TOE SHIFTER,++++KURYAKYN HIGHWAY PEGS ++++AND MUCH MORE! GOLDWING STARTED A WHOLE NEW BALLGAME IN TOURING WHEN HONDA INTRODUCED THE FIRST ONE IN 1975 AND THE GL1500 WAS A QUANTUM LEAP FROM ANYTHING PREVIOUS.---- 6-CYLINDERS, +++REVERSE+++ AND THE QUIETEST SMOOTHEST RIDE OF ANY BIKE PAST OR SINCE. GOLDWINGS ARE KNOW FOR DEPENDABILITY AND RELIABILITY AND THE 1500 RAISED THE BAR HERE AS WELL. MANY ARE STILL GOING STRONG, WITHOUT OVERHAUL, WITH 300K, 400K, OR MORE MILES. HARD TO BELIEVE A MOTORCYCLE WILL DO THIS BUT THESE DO. MANY EVEN PREFER THE GL1500 TO THE NEWER GL1800 AS THE 1500 HAS MORE STORAGE CAPACITY, A HIGHER LOAD CAPACITY, AND A SLIGHTLY MORE "CUSH" RIDE. ALSO, THE '98 IS THE FIRST YEAR OF THE "LAST 3" YEARS OF THE 1500 AND INCLUDED QUITE A FEW CHANGES: ---NEW EMBLEMS AND SCRIPT ---TWO-TONE SEAT AND BACKREST AND WIDER BACKREST ---ABBREVIATED ENGINE GUARDS ---NEW EXHAUST SYSTEM STANDARD FEATURES ON THE 1998 GOLDWING INCLUDE: ---FACTORY AM/FM/CASSETTE RADIO WITH INTEGRATED INTERCOM SYSTEM ---ON-BOARD AIR COMPRESSOR FOR REAR SHOCK ADJUSTMENT AND EXTERNAL AIR SOURCE (CAN AIR UP YOUR OWN OR YOUR BUDDY'S TIRES) ---ELECTRONIC CRUISE CONTROL WITH ACCEL/DECEL/RESUME JUST LIKE YOUR CAR'S +++++LEGENDARY GOLDWING REVERSE++++ SE EXTRA FEATURES INCLUDE: ---TWO-TONE PAINT SCHEME ---LIGHTED HANDLEBAR CONTROLS ---ADJUSTABLE PASSENGER FLOORBOARDS ---LIGHTED UPPER TRUNK SPOILER ---LOWER COWL TURN LIGHTS MANY MANY EXTRAS HAVE BEEN ADDED TO MAKE THIS A COMPLETE COMFORT PACKAGE AND BEAUTIFUL LOOKING BIKE. ---MARKLAND DRIVER FLOORBOARDS WITH HEEL-TOE SHIFTER (EXCELLENT SHAPE) ---KURYAKYN ERGONOMIC HIGHWAY PEGS.

TIRES ARE MATCHED DUNLOPS, ABOUT HALF TREAD REMAINING SO GOOD TO GO FOR A GOOD WHILE THE BIKE ACTUALLY LOOKS A LITTLE BETTER THAN THE PHOTOS AS THEY JUST DON'T REALLY SHOW THE DEPTH OF THE COLORS. JUST CAN'T SAY ENOUGH HOW MUCH THIS ONE SAYS "HERE I AM" WHEN YOU ARE LOOKING AT IT!!! CAN SHIP ALMOST ANYWHERE BUT STILL PLENTY OF GOOD RIDING WEATHER LEFT BEFORE SUMMER IN ARIZONA AND THIS ONE IS READY TO GO ANYWHERE YOU WANT TO TAKE IT. NEAREST MAJOR AIRPORT IS LAS VEGAS AND SHUTTLES ARE AVAILABLE TO HAVASU CITY. PLEASE AGAIN NOTE THIS IS A +++NO RESERVE+++ AUCTION AND IT IS NOT FOR SALE ANYWHERE ELSE. IT WILL BE SOLD TO THE HIGH BIDDER SO +++DON'T BID UNLESS READY AND ABLE TO BUY+++ AS WILL HAVE NO MERCY ON NON-PERFORMING HIGH BIDDERS!!!
