1988 HONDA GOLDWING GL1500, BEAUTIFUL DYNASTIC BLUE, LOADED WITH USUAL GOLDWING AMENITIES INCLUDING +++REVERSE+++ PLUS LOTS OF EXTRA CHROME AND LIGHTS AND MORE. EXCELLENT APPEARANCE AND MECHANICAL CONDITION. ALL MAINTENANCE RECENTLY DONE INCLUDING REBUILDING CARBURETORS, TIMING BELTS AND MORE. RUNS AND SHIFT PERFECTLY AND READY TO TAKE ANYWHERE YOU WANT TO TAKE IT. +++++++++++++++++ ONE OF THE NICEST GL1500'S I'VE SEEN IN A WHILE ++++++++++++++++++++ PHOTOS TELL THE STORY. PAINT AND CLEARCOAT VERY SHINY AS SHOWN, PLASTIC AND SEAT EXCELLENT, AND LOADED WITH EXTRA CHROME AND LIGHTS THAT WILL DETAIL LATER. REALLY SHARP LOOKING BIKE THAT HAS GOTTEN COMPLIMENTS EVERYWHERE I'VE TAKEN IT. RODE IT OVER 1000 TROUBLE-FREE MILES LAST WEEK. WOULD NOT HESITATE TO TAKE THIS BIKE ANYWHERE LAND WOULD TAKE ME. ++++EVERYTHING WORKS+++++ (EVEN THE CASSETTE PLAYER) ++++++ HONDA CREATED A "WHOLE NEW BALLGAME" WITH THE FIRST GOLDWING IN 1975 AND THE GL1500 WAS A QUANTUM LEAP FROM ANYTHING PREVIOUS. STILL WATER COOLED, SHAFT DRIVEN AND THE QUIETEST SMOOTHEST TOURING BIKE ON THE ROAD BUT NEW WITH THE 1500: +++6-CYLINDER ENGINE THAT REDLINES AT ONLY 5500 RPM (PART OF WHY THEY LAST SO LONG) +++ELECTRONIC CRUISE CONTROL WITH ACCELL/DECEL/RESUME (JUST LIKE YOUR CAR) +++ON-BOARD AIR COMPRESSOR FOR REAR AIR SHOCK ADJUSTMENT AND EXTERNAL AIR SOURCE +++FACTORY AM/FM/CASSETTE WITH INTEGRATED INTERCOM SYSTEM +++LEGENDARY GOLDWING ++++REVERSE++++++ GOLDWINGS HAVE ALWAYS BEEN KNOWN FOR RELIABILITY AND LONGEVITY. THE 1500 RAISED THE BAR HERE. MANY ARE 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, NO OVERHAUL. SO THIS ONE IS JUST GETTING BROKEN IN WITH A LITTLE OVER 100K.
