Clear

1988 HONDA GOLDWING GL1500, BEAUTIFUL DYNASTIC BLUE (ONLY YEAR FOR COLOR), LOADED WITH USUAL GOLDWING AMENITIES PLUS LOTS OF CHROME AND LIGHTS. EXCELLENT APPEARANCE AND MECHANICAL CONDITION, NEW TIRES, MANY MANY EXTRAS INCLUDING THE +++LOW SPEED DRIVABILITY MODIFICATION+++ AND +++EVERYTHING WORKS (EVEN THE CASSETTE PLAYER) +++++++ REALLY PRETTY BIKE -- LOOKS JUST LIKE THE PHOTOS +++NO-RESERVE AUCTION SO HIGH BIDDER WILL DEFINITELY WIN++++WHETHER THERE BE ONE BIDDER OR MANY. OPENING BID ABOUT WHAT YOU'D EXPECT TO PAY FOR A NICE GL1200 AND THIS IS A LOT MORE BIKE!! +++RUNS AND SHIFTS PERFECTLY, NEEDS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING BUT A NEW RIDER. CLEAN CLEAR ARIZONA TITLE ON HAND FOR IMMEDIATE DELIVERY TO BUYER. NO SALES TAX FOR ARIZONA BUYERS AS PRIVATE PARTY SALE. GOLDWING SET A NEW STANDARD FOR QUIET SMOOTH TOURING WITH THE FIRST GL1000 IN 1975. THE GL1500 RAISED THE BAR CONSIDERABLY FROM THE PREVIOUS MODELS WITH: ----6-CYLINDERS, STILL WATER COOLED, SHAFT DRIVEN, "BOXER" STYLE ENGINE. ENGINE REDLINES AT ONLY 5500 RPM, PART OF WHY THEY LAST SO LONG. ----FACTORY AM/FM/CASSETTE WITH INTEGRATED INTERCOM SYSTEM ---ELECTRONIC CRUISE CONTROL WITH ACCELL/DECEL/RESUME. WORKS JUST LIKE YOUR CAR'S ---ON-BOARD AIR COMPRESSOR FOR REAR AIR SHOCK ADJUSTMENT AND EXTERNAL AIR SOURCE +++++LEGENDARY GOLDWING REVERSE++++++ GOLDWINGS HAVE ALWAYS BEEN KNOWN FOR DEPENDABILITY AND RELIABILITY. THE 1500 RAISED THE BAR CONSIDERABLY HERE WITH MANY STILL GOING STRONG WITH 300K, 400K, OR MORE MILES WITHOUT OVERHAUL. I'VE ACTUALLY SEEN A COUPLE OVER HALF-A-MILLION MILES, STILL GOING STRONG WITHOUT OVERHAUL. GOLDWINGS SET A NEW STANDARD FOR QUIET AND SMOOTH. THE 1500 SET A NEW STANDARD HERE ALSO AS THE QUIETEST, SMOOTHEST BIKE ON THE ROAD. SOME EVEN PREFER THE 1500 TO THE NEWER GL1800 (I'M ONE OF THOSE). THE 1500 HAS MORE STORAGE SPACE, A HIGHER RATED LOAD CAPACITY AND A MORE "CUSH" RIDE THAN THE 1800. (AND COSTS A LOT LESS) ---TIRES ARE ALMOST NEW (FRONT BRAND NEW, REAR ABOUT 200 MILES) ---NEWER AFTERMARKET WINDSHIELD AND BRAND NEW NO MAINTENANCE BATTERY. '88 WAS THE FIRST YEAR FOR THE 15OO AND MANY HAD A NOTICABLE HESITATION FROM IDLE. HONDA CORRECTED THIS WITH A "LOW SPEED DRIVABILITY MODIFICATION" (COST ALMOST $1000 10 YEARS AGO). THIS ONE HAS HAD THAT AND HAS +++ABSOLUTELY NO HESITATION++++ THIS BIKE HAS SO MANY EXTRAS, HARD TO KNOW WHERE TO START. I'LL PROBABLY MISS SOMETHING (PHOTOS TELL THE STORY BEST) ---TASTEFULLY DONE PIN-STRIPING PLUS "BLUE KNIGHT" ON EACH SIDE. ORIGINAL OWNER WAS A RETIRED POLICE OFFICER. IF YOU DON'T LIKE THIS, CAN BE REMOVED WITH OVEN CLEANER. ---TRUNK, SADDLEBAG, AND FAIRING SIDE REFLECTORS REPLACED WITH LIGHTS ---ADDED CHROME ITEMS INCLUDE: ---BRAND NEW MIRRORS AND MIRROR TRIM PLUS SIDE FAIRING TRIM ---FAIRING GARNISH GRILL, LOWER VENT, AND SIDE FAIRING GRILL STRIPS ---TRUNK AND SADDLEBAG RAILS ---TRUNK HANDLE AND LUGGAGE RACK ---FRONT FENDER TRIM (HAVE NEVER SEEN THIS PIECE BEFORE) AND FORK GUARD ---CAM END COVERS AND RESERVOIR COVERS ---REAR SPEAKER GRILLS AND SADDLEBAG SCUFF PLATES ---SIDE FAIRING SHELTER COVER CHROME ACCENTS (SEE PICS) ---CHROME SIDE STAND ---NEW LEATHER CUSHION GRIPS SPEEDOMETER WAS REPLACED AT A LITTLE UNDER 110K MILES WITH A BRAND NEW ONE THAT NOW SHOWS A LITTLE OVER 5500 MILES. SO ACTUAL MILES ARE ABOUT 115K (JUST GETTING STARTED FOR A GL1500) +++WHEN PREVIOUS OWNER GOT BIKE, (106K), HE REPLACED THE TIMING BELTS AND ALTERNATOR BRUSHES FORK SEALS WERE REPLACED LESS THAN 1000 MILES AGO.++ BIKE NEED ABSOLUTELY NOTHING AND IS READY TO GO ANYWHERE YOU WANT TO TAKE IT. ONLY DEFECTS INCLUDE A COUPLE OF SMALL SPLITS IN THE SEAT THAT HAVE BEEN COVERED WITH ELECTRICAL TAPE (SEE PICS), A CRACK IN THE LOWER FRONT COWLING, AND LOWER EXHAUST COWLINGS ARE NOT THE BEST. MAY TRY TO RE-PAINT THEM AS REST OF BIKE LOOKS TOO GOOD TO NOT MAKE THEM LOOK BETTER.
