PRIVATE PARTY SALE SO NO SALES TAX IN ARIZONA. ALL GOLDWINGS ARE QUIET AND SMOOTH BUT SOME MORE A LITTLE MORE SO THAN OTHERS. THIS IS ONE OF THOSE. VERY QUIET AND SMOOTH. FEELS LIKE A NEWER LOW MILEAGE BIKE. BUT, SINCE GOLDWINGS ARE KNOWN FOR THEIR LONGEVITY,( ESPECIALLY THE 1500 ) WITH MANY STILL GOING STRONG WITHOUT OVERHAUL WITH 300K, 400K, OR MORE MILES, THIS ONE IS JUST GETTING STARTED WITH 118K. HONDA STARTED A "WHOLE NEW BALLGAME" IN TOURING MOTORCYCLES WITH THE GOLDWING AND THE GL1500 WAS A QUANTUM LEAP FROM ANYTHING PREVIOUS. ---6-CYLINDER HORIZONTAL OPPOSED WATER COOLED ENGINE ---ELECTRONIC CRUISE CONTROL WITH ACCELL/DECEL/RESUME JUST LIKE YOUR CAR'S ---ON-BOARD AIR COMPRESSOR FOR REAR AIR SHOCK ADJUSTMENT AND EXTERNAL AIR SOURCE. +++LEGENDARY GOLDWING REVERSE++++ MANY NICE EXTRAS ON THIS ONE INCLUDING: +++TULSA TINTED/VENTED TALL WINDSHIELD. LOOKS FAIRLY NEW. DEFINITELY KEEPS THE WIND OFF YOU AND PASSENGER MUCH BETTER THAN STOCK WINDSHIELD. +++NEWER STYLE FULL CHROME FAIRING GARNISH. LOOKS FAIRLY NEW. +++CHROME HIGHWAY BOARDS +++LOWER COWLING TURN LIGHTS +++NEW CHROME ERGONOMIC DRIVER FOOTPEGS +++HONDA REAR SPEAKERS WITH FADER CONTROL +++CHROME CUP MOUNTED DRIVER BEVERAGE HOLDER +++CHROME FAIRING SIDE MARKERS +++CHROME LUGGAGE RACK +++FAIRING SIDE REFLECTORS HAVE BEEN CHANGED TO LIGHTS. +++CUSHION GRIPS +++REAR MUD FLAP TIRES ARE MATCHED DUNLOP ELITE 3"S (BEST HANDLING TIRE YET FOR THE 1500) BOTH ARE ABOUT 75% TREAD REMAINING. EVERYTHING ON THE BIKE WORKS -- REVERSE -- CRUISE -- COMPRESSOR -- AM/FM RADIO AND INTERCOM--- EXCEPT THE CASSETTE PLAYER DOES NOT WORK. AS SAID EARLIER, BIKE RUNS EXCEPTIONALLY WELL. ABSOLUTELY +++NO HESITATION++ (AS A FEW '89'S HAD) AND DOESN'T EVEN NEED CHOKE TO START IN WARM WEATHER. BIKE DOES HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF SUN FADE ON THE RIGHT SIDE.( THINK BECAUSE WE MOSTLY LEAVE THEM ON THE SIDE STAND) LEFT SIDE OF BIKE IS UNAFFECTED. SLIGHT FADING ON TRUNK LID AND UPPER SURFACE OF RIGHT SADDLEBAG LID AND RIGHT SIDE COVER. TRIED TO SHOW IN PHOTOS. ALSO A FEW SPOTS WHERE SMALL SCRATCHES HAVE BEEN TOUCHED UP. AND - SCRAPE MARKS ON FRONT PART OF LEFT ENGINE GUARD. AND - ORIGINAL SEAT HAD TEAR ON ONE SIDE. I PUT ON THE NEW SADDLEMAN SEAT COVER BUT THEY ARE VERY HARD TO STRETCH AND UNFORTUNATELY, I TORE THE LOWER RIGHT AREA SLIGHTLY. WILL LET IT SIT A FEW DAYS AND TRY TO STRETCH TO COVER BUT DON'T KNOW IF IT WILL. NONE OF THE DEFECTS TAKE AWAY FROM AN OVERALL VERY GOOD LOOKING BIKE BUT DON'T WANT YOU TO EXPECT PERFECT WHEN IT IS NOT. OVERALL THOUGH, AFTER RIDING THIS ONE AND SHINING IT UP JUST A LITTLE, RATE IT AN EXCELLENT LOOKING AND RUNNING MACHINE THAT WOULD NOT HESITATE TO TAKE ANYWHERE. OPENING BID IS A LITTLE LESS THAN YOU'D EXPECT TO PAY FOR A NICE GL1200 AND THIS IS ONE HELL OF A LOT MORE BIKE!! GOLDWINGS HAVE ALWAYS BEEN KNOWN FOR DEPENDABILITY AND LONGEVITY AND BEING THE SMOOTHEST QUIETEST TOURING MOTORCYLE THERE IS. THE GL1500 RAISED THE BAR ON ALL COUNTS. THIS IS THE QUIETEST SMOOTHEST MOTORCYCLE ON 2 WHEELS. SOME (I'M ONE OF THEM) EVEN PREFER THE 1500 TO THE NEWER GL1800 AS THE 1500 IS A LITTLE QUIETER AND HAS A SLIGHTLY MORE "CUSH" RIDE. ALSO, QUITE A BIT MORE STORAGE SPACE. PLEASE AGAIN NOTE THIS IS A +++NO RESERVE+++ AUCTION. HIGH BIDDER WILL WIN WHETHER THERE BE ONE BID OR MANY. SO -- PLEASE DON'T BID UNLESS READY AND ABLE TO BUY.
