1988 HONDA GOLDWING GL1500,MARTINI BIEGE (TAN) COLOR, LOADED WITH USUAL GOLDWING AMENITIES, ALMOST NEW TIRES, EXCELLENT APPEARANCE AND MECHANICAL CONDITION. ONLY 64K MILES, ALMOST NEW TIRES AT 80% PLUS, RUNS AND SHIFTS PERFECTLY, AND READY TO GO ANYWHERE YOU WANT TO GO. +++EVERYTHING WORKS INCLUDING CASSETTE PLAYER+++ +++NO RESERVE AUCTION+++ AND NOT FOR SALE ANYWHERE ELSE SO HIGH BIDDER WILL DEFINITELY WIN WHETHER THERE BE ONE BID OR MANY. GOLDWING STARTED A "WHOLE NEW DAY" IN TOURING FOR QUIET, SMOOTH, AND RELIABLE WITH THE FIRST ONE IN 1975. THE GL1500 WAS A QUANTUM LEAP FROM ANYTHING EARLIER WITH: ---6-CYLINDER "BOXER" STYLE ENGINE THAT REDLINES AT ONLY 5500 RPM. (PART OF WHY THEY LAST SO LONG) THAT IS THE QUIETEST SMOOTHEST ENGINE ON TWO WHEELS. ++++LEGENDARY GOLDWING REVERSE +++++ ---ELECTRONIC CRUISE CONTROL WITH ACCEL/DECEL/RESUME - WORKS JUST LIKE YOUR CAR'S. ---ON-BOARD AIR COMPRESSOR FOR REAR SHOCK ADJUSTMENT AND EXTERNAL AIR SOURCE. ---FACTORY AM/FM/CASSETTE RADIO WITH INTEGRATED INTERCOM SYSTEM NICE EXTRAS ON THIS ONE INCLUDING: ---HONDA REAR SPEAKER KIT WITH FADER CONTROL. ---CUSHION GRIPS (BRAND NEW) ---CHROME TRUNK LUGGAGE RACK ---K & N AIR FILTER (INCREASED PERFORMANCE AND MILEAGE) ---CHROME LOWER FRONT VENT TIRES ARE MATCHING DUNLOPS THAT ARE KNOWN FOR GREAT HANDLING AND LONG TREAD LIFE. BOTH ARE 80% PLUS TREAD LIFE REMAINING SO GOOD TO GO FOR A LONG TIME. RECENT MAJOR SERVICE INCLUDING FUEL FILTER, FORK SEALS, AND K & N AIR FILTER CLEAN AND OIL. ALSO HAD BRAKE PADS REPLACED WHEN TIRES REPLACED (ABOUT 2K AGO FRONT, 1K AGO REAR), AND ALTERNATOR BRUSHES REPLACED ABOUT 10K MILES AGO. HAS HAD MOBIL ONE SYNTHETIC OIL FOR LAST FEW OIL CHANGES. FRONT FORKS FEEL LIKE IT HAS PROGRESSIVE SPRINGS. DID NOT INSTALL THEM BUT VIRTUALLY CERTAIN THEY ARE THERE FEEL AND EXPERIENCE. PROGRESSIVES SIGNIFICANTLY IMPROVE HANDLING AND HELP ELIMINATE CLASSIC GL1500 FRONT END "WASHOUT" RUNS AND SHIFTS PERFECTLY AS STATED EARLIER AND JUST GETTING BROKEN IN WITH ONLY 64K. (VERY LOW FOR YEAR) +++++HAS HAD THE "LOW SPEED DRIVABILITY" MODIFICATION (COST ALMOST $1000) TO CORRECT THE HESITATION ISSUE ON THE '88 MODELS. +++++++ MANY 1500'S ARE STILL GOING STRONG WITH 300K, 400K, OR MORE MILES WITHOUT OVERHAUL. HAVE ACTUALLY SEEN A COUPLE OVER HALF-A-MILLION MILES, STILL GOING GREAT, NO OVERHAUL SO THIS ONE JUST GETTING BROKEN IN. PAINT AND CLEAR COAT ARE SHINY AND BIKE IS REALLY VERY SHARP LOOKING. SEAT AND PLASTIC ALSO IN EXCELLENT SHAPE. +++NOTE LETTERING ON THE HANDLEBAR CONTROLS IS ALL STILL THERE AND CRISP AND SHARP. ALSO NOTE FRONT FENDER EMBLEM AND RIGHT SADDLEBAG EMBLEM LOOK BRAND NEW. THAT IS FOR SURE SIGN THAT BIKE HAS BEEN WELL CARED FOR. RIGHT SIDE PANEL IS A REPLACEMENT AND MISSING "GOLDWING" SCRIPT AND 1500 BADGE. BOTH ARE ON ORDER. ALSO, MISSING ONE SADDLEBAG REAR PANEL SCREW "CLIP" THAT WILL BE REPLACED. ALWAYS GARAGED WHEN NOT BEING RIDDEN AND SHOWS IT. AGAIN, LOOK AT PLASTIC, HANDLEBAR CONTROL LETTERING, CLEAR COAT, ETC. LOTS OF NEWER ONES DON'T LOOK THIS GOOD. CAN SHIP ALMOST ANYWHERE (LOTS OF SOUTHWEST FOR $300 OR LESS) AND EXPERIENCED IN CANADIAN EXPORT PROCEDURES. (WILL DO THE U.S. CUSTOMS PAPERWORK FOR YOU) BUT -- NOW IS A GREAT TIME TO FLY IN TO SALT LAKE AIRPORT AND RIDE IT HOME THROUGH SOME BEAUTIFUL ROCKY MOUNTAIN SCENERY. COLORS ARE ++MAGNIFICENT++ !! YOU GET TO THE AIRPORT, I'LL GET YOU AND BIKE TOGETHER. I WOULD NOT HESITATE TO GET ON THIS BIKE AND RIDE IT ANYWHERE. DON'T KNOW OF ANYTHING IT WILL NEED EXCEPT OIL CHANGES FOR QUITE A WHILE. IF NEW TO EBAY (LITTLE OR NO FEEDBACK), PLEASE EMAIL YOUR CONTACT INFORMATION BEFORE BIDDING. MY FEEDBACK SPEAKS FOR MY INTEGRITY AS A SELLER SO THINK THAT ONLY FAIR. PLEASE NOTE DEPOSIT EXPECTED WITHIN 48 HOURS AND BALANCE IN FULL IN 7 DAYS. IF YOU NEED A LOAN, "HER" PERMISSION, ETC, PLEASE GET THAT ++BEFORE++BIDDING. WINNING BIDDER TO CONTACT SELLER WITHIN 24 HOURS, PREFERABLY IMMEDIATELY. +++ABSOLUTELY NO CAPITAL ONE AUTO FINANCE CHECKS! (WE'D BOTH BE IN THE "HOME" BEFORE THEY GOT IT DONE) CLEAR CLEAN TITLE ON HAND FOR IMMEDIATE DELIVERY TO NEW OWNER. THIS IS A VERY NICE LOWER MILEAGE GREAT LOOKING "READY TO GO" BIKE THAT IS GOING TO MAKE SOMEONE VERY HAPPY. YOU WON'T BE DISAPPOINTED. THANKS FOR LOOKING AND KEEP PRAYING FOR OUR TROOPS WORLDWIDE.
