1998 HONDA GOLDWING GL1500 SE, BEAUTIFUL PEARL (METALLIC) CHAPARREL BEIGE TWO-TONE, +++ONLY 39K MILES++++(VERY LOW FOR YEAR) LOADED WITH ALL GOLDWING AMENITIES INCLUDINE ++++REVERSE++++, CB RADIO+++,PLUS MANY NICE EXTRAS, EXCELLENT MECHANICAL CONDITION AND APPEARANCE, NOT EVEN BROKEN IN FOR A GOLDWING, READY TO GO ANYWHERE YOU WANT TO TAKE IT. AND ++++ EVERYTHING WORKS++++ (EVEN CASSETTE PLAYER) ++++NO-RESERVE AUCTION +++ AND NOT FOR SALE ANYWHERE ELSE SO HIGH BIDDER WILL DEFINITELY WIN. GOLDWING CHANGED THE "WHOLE BALLGAME" IN TOURING MOTORCYCLES WITH THE FIRST ONE IN 1975 AND THE GL1500 WAS A QUANTUM LEAP FROM THE PREVIOUS 3 MODELS. THE 1500 WAS THE FIRST WITH: +++++LEGENDARY GOLDWING REVERSE ++ ---6-CYLINDER "BOXER" STYLE ENGINE. REDLINES AT ONLY 5500 RPM, PART OF WHY THEY LAST SO LONG. (MANY STILL GOING STRONG WITH 300K, 400K, OR MORE MILES WITHOUT OVERHAUL ---FACTORY AM/FM/CASSETTE WITH INTEGRATED INTERCOM SYSTEM ---ELECTRONIC CRUISE CONTROL WITH ACCELL/DECEL/RESUME (WORKS JUST LIKE YOUR CAR'S CRUISE) ---ON-BOARD AIR COMPRESSOR FOR REAR SHOCK ADJUSTMENT AND EXTERNAL AIR SOURCE. (YES, CAN AIR UP YOUR OWN OR YOUR BUDDY'S TIRES) SOME EVEN PREFER THE GL1500 TO THE NEWER GL1800. (I'M ONE OF THOSE) THE 1500 HAS MORE STORAGE CAPACITY, A HIGHER RATED LOAD CAPACITY, AND HAS A SLIGHTLY MORE "CUSH" RIDE THAN THE 1800. (NOT TO MENTION LOTS LESS COST) THE '98 MODEL WAS THE FIRST OF THE "LAST 3" (YEARS OF THE GL1500) AND INCLUDED LOTS OF CHANGES FROM THE EARLIER MODELS: ---UPGRADED TRANSMISSION (SAME AS VALKYRIE XMSN) ---TWO-TONE (GRAY AND BLACK) SEAT AND PASSENGER BACKREST ---WHITE INSTRUMENTS WITH RECESSED REFLECTOR PLATE (INSTRUMENT BEZEL) ---MORE MODERN STREAMLINED "GOLDWING" SCRIPT AND BADGES ---IMPROVED SUSPENSION AND SOME CHANGES IN ENGINE BEARINGS FOR EVEN MORE LONGEVITY. ---NEW STYLE VALVE COVERS, ENGINE GUARDS, AND COOLING FAN EXIT GRILLS. THIS ONE IS AN SE MODEL (TOP-OF-THE-LINE) AND HAS MANY UPGRADES FROM OTHER MODELS INCLUDING: +++FACTORY CB RADIO++++ ---REAR SPEAKERS WITH FADER CONTROL ---LIGHTED UPPER TRUNK SPOILER (RUNNING AND BRAKE LIGHT) ---TWO-TONE PAINT SCHEME (PANELS ON THIS ONE ARE LISTED AS A DARKER BEIGE BUT MORE LIKE A BEIGE/LIGHT GREEN COMBINATION) ---ADJUSTABLE PASSENGER FLOORBOARDS. ---LOWER COWL CORNERING LIGHTS ---LOWER ENGINE COWL FOOT HEAT VENTS ---VENTED WINDSHIELD (THIS ONE HAS A TULSA AFTERMARKET WINDSHIELD) MANY NICE EXTRAS INCLUDING: ---TULSA VENTED WINDSHIELD (TALLER THAN STOCK, SLOPED TO KEEP MORE WIND (AND RAIN) OFF YOU AND CO-RIDER) DEFINITELY NEWER JUDGING FROM EXCELLENT CONDITION. ---CHROME TRUNK RACK, TRUNK RAIL , AND LICENSE PLATE AREA ACCENT ---"UTOPIA" BUILT-IN DRIVER BACKREST ---TRUNK AND SADDLEBAG REFLECTORS HAVE BEEN CHANGED TO LIGHTS ---LEATHER CUSHION GRIPS (SEE PHOTOS) COLOR IS OFFICIALLY CALLED "PEARL CHAPARREL BEIGE" (HONDA PAINT CODE X191P). PHOTOS DON'T REALLY SHOW COLOR WELL AT ALL. LOOKS MORE LIKE A LIGHT GREEN IN THE PICS BUT IS A REALLY PRETTY METALLIC BEIGE. UNFORTUNATELY, HAVE NEVER BEEN ABLE TO GET PICS THAT SHOW THE COLOR WELL. PROBABLY HELPS IF YOU'VE SEEN ONE. REALLY A GOOD LOOKING COLOR COMBINATION WITH THE PANELS. TIRES ARE DUNLOP ELITE 3'S (BEST HANDLING TIRE YET FOR 1500) REAR IS 40 TO 50% TREAD LEFT. FRONT IS LESS. PROBABLY GOOD FOR ANOTHER 1500-2000 MILES. PAINT AND CLEAR COAT EXCELLENT AS STATED EARLIER. DOES HAVE A FEW SPOTS THAT HAVE BEEN TOUCHED UP. (SEE UP CLOSE PHOTOS) AND ONE SPOT ON FRONT LOWER FAIRING COWL THAT I OBVIOUSLY MISSED (WILL GET IT) ONE SADDLEBAG LID HAS SOME KIND OF "SPECKLES" ON IT AND THE OTHER OBVIOUSLY HAD SOMETHING FALL ON IT (AGAIN, SEE PHOTOS) ABSOLUTELY NOTHING THAT DISTRACTS FROM OVERALL VERY SHARP LOOKING BIKE BUT DONT' WANT ANY SURPRISES. JUST TURNED 39K MILES EXACTLY RIGHT AFTER PHOTOS. STILL RIDING IT SO MAY HAVE A COUPLE HUNDRED MORE MILES ON IT. WILL HAVE NO MORE THAN 39,300 MILES AND WILL STOP RIDING WHEN SELLS. CAN SHIP ALMOST ANYWHERE ($300 OR LESS TO MUCH OF SOUTHWEST) BUT GREAT TIME TO COME TO YUMA, AZ, AND RIDE IT BACK THROUGH SOME BEAUTIFUL SOUTHWEST SCENERY. SHUTTLES AVAILABLE FROM PHOENIX SKY HARBOR (I'LL PAY FOR SHUTTLE) OR, CAN ACTUALLY FLY INTO YUMA. HAVE RIDDEN THIS BIKE ABOUT 400 ABSOLUTELY TROUBLE-FREE MILES AND WOULD NOT HESITATE TO RIDE IT ANYWHERE LAND WOULD TAKE ME. PLEASE NOTE THIS IS A +++NO RESERVE+++ AUCTION AND BIKE NOT FOR SALE ANYWHERE ELSE SO HIGH BIDDER WILL DEFINITELY WIN. THIS BEING SAID ++++DON'T BID UNLESS READY AND ABLE TO BUY+++ NON-PERFORMING HIGH BIDDERS HAVE NO PLACE WITH THE REST OF US DECENT PEOPLE!! IF NEW TO EBAY (LITTLE OR NO FEEDBACK), PLEASE EMAIL YOUR CONTACT INFO BEFORE BIDDING. THINK THIS ONLY FAIR AS MY FEEDBACK RECORD SPEAKS FOR MY INTEGRITY AS A SELLER. +++ABSOLUTELY NO CAPITAL ONE AUTO FINANCE CHECKS!!! DON'T EVEN ASK! THIS IS A BEAUTIFUL LOW MILEAGE GL1500 THAT IS GOING TO MAKE SOMEONE VERY HAPPY! YOU WON'T BE DISAPPOINTED! THANKS FOR LOOKING AND KEEP PRAYING FOR OUR TROOPS WORLDWIDE! (USAF, USAR, RET)
