2005 Honda Gold Wing

2005 HONDA GOLDWING GL1800A (ABS MODEL) BEAUTIFUL PORTLAND METALLIC GRAY (VERY METALLIC), LOADED WITH USUAL GOLDWING AMENITIES, ONLY 54K MILES, EXCELLENT APPEARANCE AND MECHANICAL CONDITION. 30TH ANNIVERSARY EDITION AND I THINK ONLY YEAR FOR THIS BEAUTIFUL VERY METALLIC COLOR. +++PHOTOS DO NOT SHOW METALLIC++++ NOTE 30TH ANNIVERSARY EMBLEMS ON TRUNK AND FAIRING GARNISH. KEY ALSO HAS THE 30TH ANN. EMBLEM ON IT. NO RESERVE AUCTION AND NOT FOR SALE ANYWHERE ELSE SO HIGH BIDDER WILL DEFINITELY WIN. +++ONE YEAR LEFT ON EXTENDED HONDA WARRANTY. NO TRANSFER OR REGISTRATION, WARRANTY IS BY VIN ++++ (GOOD THROUGH MID-AUGUST, 2012) OPENING BID IS ABOUT $2000 LESS THAN HAVE SEEN MOST '05'S SELLING FOR EVERYWHERE. THE GL1800 IS A SUPERB COMBINATION OF THE SMOOTHEST QUIETEST RIDE ON THE ROAD PLUS OUTSTANDING PERFORMANCE AND HANDLING LIKE A MUCH SMALLER BIKE. THE 1800 CC FUEL INJECTED ENGINE WILL "SMOKE" LOTS OF "BULLET" BIKES, CORNER WITH THE BEST OF THEM, AND STILL DELIVER THE "GENTLEMAN'S RIDE" FOR WHICH GOLDWING IS LEGENDARY. GOLDWING SET A WHOLE NEW STANDARD FOR RELIABILITY AND LONGEVITY WHEN THEY FIRST CAME OUT IN 1975 AND THE GL1800 CONTINUES THAT TRADITION. THEY ARE PROBABLY THE MOST RELIABLE THING WITH MOVING PARTS AND MANY ARE STILL GOING STRONG WITH 200K, 300K, AND MORE MILES. COMPARE THAT TO THE HARLEY WHICH WILL NEED A "TOP END" EVERY 50 TO 75K MILES. THE GL1800 IS ONLY ABOUT 40 LBS LIGHTER THAN ITS' PREDECESSOR, THE GL1500, BUT FEELS MUCH LIGHTER AND HAS AT LEAST AN INCH LOWER SEAT HEIGHT BOTH OF WHICH MAKE IT MUCH EASIER TO HANDLE. HONESTLY FEEL THAT LOTS OF RIDERS WHO THINK THE 1500 IS TOO HEAVY FOR THEM WOULD FIND THE 1800 A MUCH MORE COMPATIBLE (AND FUN) RIDE. ALSO,++++ FUEL INJECTION++++ GIVES IT OUTSTANDING ACCELERATION WHILE STILL DELIVERING+++OVER 40 MPG++++WHICH IS GREAT WITH GAS PRICES DOING WHAT THEY ARE. STANDARD AMENITIES ON THE GL1800 INCLUDE: ---FACTORY AM/FM RADIO AND INTERCOM SYSTEM WITH PLUG-IN FOR CONNECTION TO MP-3 OR IPOD ---ELECTRONIC CRUISE CONTROL WITH ACCELL/DECEL/RESUME JUST LIKE YOUR CAR'S ---ADJUSTABLE REAR SUSPENSION SO YOU GET THE RIGHT RIDE WHETHER SOLO, MAYBE SLIGHTLY OVERWEIGHT "MOMMA" ON BACK, OR SKINNY GRAND-KID. ++++LEGENDARY GOLDWING REVERSE++++++ ---ADJUSTABLE WINDSHIELD ---OUTSIDE AIR TEMP INDICATOR ON DASH (GOOD TO KNOW WHETHER YOU SHOULD BE COLD OR NOT) ---CAUTION INDICATIONS FOR OPEN TRUNK OR SADDLEBAG. THIS SURE BEATS HAVING A CAR HONKING AT YOU BECAUSE YOUR SADDLEBAG LID IS OPEN AND YOUR STUFF IS SPILLING OUT ONTO THE HIGHWAY TO GET RUN OVER BY THE NEXT SEMI. LOTS OF NICE EXTRAS ADDED TO THIS ONE INCLUDING: ---ABS MODEL. ALL 1800'S HAVE SUPERB STOPPING POWER BUT THE ABS IS EVEN BETTER. ---BUILT-IN UTOPIA DRIVER'S BACKREST THAT FOLDS DOWN FOR EASIER PASSENGER MOUNT AND DIS-MOUNT. ---UPGRADED "POLK" BRAND FRONT AND BACK SPEAKERS ---HEATED GRIPS (MAY HAVE BEEN ORIGINAL EQUIP ??. ---CHROME VALVE COVER ACCENTS ---KURYAKYN CHROME TRUNK RACK (NICE EXPENSIVE ONE) ---LOWER COWL DRIVING LIGHTS ---CHROME SIDE COVER ACCENTS ---DASH ACCENT PANEL AND IGNITION CHROME ACCENT PANEL. ---CHROME LOWER FRONT TIMING CHAIN COVER ---12 VOLT OUTLET LOWER RIGHT FAIRING FOR ACCESSORY (PHONE) CHARGING ---HEATED CLOTHING PLUG ON SIDE COVER. PAINT IS SUPER SHINY AND OVERALL OUTSTANDING. SEAT AND PLASTIC OVERALL EXCELLENT AS WELL. REALLY BEAUTIFUL COLOR THAT IS HEAVY METALLIC THAT DOESN'T REALLY SHOW AT ALL IN THE PHOTOS. ORIGINAL TOOL KIT, OWNER'S MANUAL, AND FULL COVER INCLUDED. RUNS AND SHIFTS PERFECTLY. FEELS JUST LIKE THE ONES I'VE HAD WITH HALF THE MILES AND IS EVEN A LITTLE BIT QUIETER RUNNING. IF THE ODOMETER SAID 20K MILES, YOU WOULD BELIEVE IT. TIRES ARE MATCHED METZLER MARATHONS, EXCELLENT HANDLING TIRE. BOTH FRONT AND REAR STILL MEASURE NEW TIRE TREAD DEPTH. I WOULD NOT HESITATE TO GET ON THIS BIKE AND RIDE IT ANYWHERE LAND WOULD TAKE ME. ++++ EVERYTHING WORKS PERFECTLY!! +++ CAN SHIP TO ANY ALLIED VAN LINES WAREHOUSE IN U.S. FOR AROUND $600. DEPENDING UPON WHERE YOU ARE, YOU MAY BE ABLE TO FIND CHEAPER SHIPPERS. CAN ALSO SHIP ALMOST ANYWHERE ELSE FOR REASONABLE COST. CAN ALSO STORE HERE UNTIL YOU WANT TO PICK UP AND RIDE BACK IF YOU WISH. SUGGEST YOU AVOID "U-SHIP" FOR SHIPPING AS THEY ARE JUST BROKERS AND PREVIOUS CUSTOMERS HAVE HAD TROUBLE WITH THEM. SUMMER HAS FINALLY COME (ALBEIT SLOWLY!) TO THE ROCKY MOUNTAINS SO GREAT TIME TO FLY INTO SALT LAKE INTERNATIONAL AND RIDE IT HOME. GREAT SCENERY HERE. UTAH HAS MORE NATIONAL PARKS THAN ANY STATE!! PLEASE AGAIN NOTE THAT THIS IS A +++NO-RESERVE AUCTION++++. HIGH BIDDER WILL DEFINITELY WIN WHETHER THERE BE ONE BID OR MORE SO+++ DON'T BID UNLESS READY AND ABLE TO BUY+++ AS NON-PERFORMING HIGH BIDDDERS (WON'T CALL THEM "WINNERS") JUST MUCK IT UP FOR THE REST OF US. IF NEW TO EBAY (LITTLE OR NO FEEDBACK), PLEASE EMAIL ME BEFORE BIDDING. MY OVER 2000 100% POSITIVE FEEDBACK RECORD SPEAKS FOR MY INTEGRITY AS A SELLER SO THINK IT ONLY FAIR TO ASK THAT OF YOU IF YOU HAVE NO TRACK RECORD. +++ABSOLUTELY NO CAPITAL ONE AUTO FINANCE CHECKS. DON'T EVEN ASK!! +++(DID THIS ONCE AND THOUGHT WE WERE ALL GOING TO BE TOO OLD TO RIDE BEFORE THEY GOT IT DONE!) THIS IS A REALLY SHARP BIKE THAT IS GOING TO HAVE A VERY HAPPY NEW OWNER. THANKS FOR LOOKING AND KEEP PRAYING FOR OUR TROOPS AROUND THE WORLD, ESPECIALLY THOSE AWAY FROM HOME AND FAMILY. (USAF, USAR, RET)
