1987 Honda Gold Wing

1987 HONDA GOLDWING GL1200 ASPENCADE, (TOP OF THE LINE MODEL FOR 1987), TWO-TONE BLACK WITH GRAY PANELS, EXCELLENT MECHANICAL CONDITION AND VERY GOOD APPEARANCE. ALMOST NEW DUNLOP ELITE 3 TIRES, ++++ RUNS AND SHIFTS PERFECTLY,+++++ AND READY TO GO ANYWHERE YOU WANT TO TAKE IT. I HAVE RIDDEN THIS BIKE QUITE A BIT AND WOULD NOT HESITATE TO TAKE IT ANYWHERE. GOLDWING STARTED A "WHOLE NEW BALLGAME" IN QUIET SMOOTH TOURING MOTORCYCLES WITH THE FIRST ONE IN 1975 AND THE GL1200 WAS A COMPLETE RE-DESIGN FROM THE EARLIER GL1100 MODEL. THE ASPENCADE WAS THE TOP OF THE LINE MODEL IN '87 AND INCLUDED: ---DIGITAL DASH WITH 6 DIGIT ODOMETER ---DIGITAL CLOCK (WORKS PERFECTLY) ---DIGITAL TRIP METER THAT CAN BE SET TO COUNT MILES GONE OR REMAINING ---FACTORY AM/FM/CASSETTE RADIO WITH INTEGRATED INTERCOM SYSTEM THAT LOCKS IN AND SLIDES OUT IF YOU WANT. JUST A FEW YEARS AGO CHECKED ON HONDA'S PRICE ON A NEW ONE OF THESE AND FOUND OUT IT LISTED FOR $2400!! ---ON-BOARD AIR COMPRESSOR THAT ADJUSTS BOTH FRONT FORKS AND REAR AIR SHOCK PLUS HAS EXTERNAL AIR PORT FOR INFLATING WHATEVER YOU WANT. DID ACTUALLY USE THE EXTERNAL OPTION ON A PERSONAL 1200 TO INFLATE MY OWN TIRE. ---ELECTRONIC CRUISE CONTROL WITH ACCEL/DECEL AND RESUME JUST LIKE YOU CAR'S (AND THIS ONE WORKS JUST AS ADVERTISED) MANY NICE EXTRAS ON THIS ONE INCLUDING: ---WRAP-AROUND WINDSHIELD (REALLY GOOD FOR LESSENING WIND BLAST ON RIDER AND CO-RIDER) ---RUSSELL AFTERMARKET FABRIC SEAT WITH SLIDE IN DRIVER BACKREST. (ONE OF THE MOST COMFORTABLE SEATS I'VE USED AND MUCH MUCH BETTER THAN THE STOCK SEAT. --- CHROME PLATFORM TRAILER HITCH MOUNT WITH TRAILER WIRING AND LIGHTED MUDFLAP. ---SADDLEBAG LIGHT BAR (SWITCHED BUT NOT WORKING. HAVEN'T TRIED TO FIX AND WILL LEAVE THAT FOR NEXT OWNER) ---MARKLAND HIGHWAY BOARDS (VERY NICE FOR THOSE LONGER RIDES). ---CUSHION GRIPS ---CHROME EXHAUST EXTENSIONS WITH TURNDOWNS GOLDWINGS HAVE BEEN KNOWN FROM THE START FOR RELIABILITY AND LONGEVITY AND THE 1200 UPPED THE BAR A BIT FROM THE 1000 AND 1100 MODELS. KNOW THEY ARE GOOD FOR 200K OR MORE. SAW AN AD A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO ON THE GOLDWING ROAD RIDERS SITE FOR GUY LOOKING FOR ENGINE SAYING HIS WAS DONE WITH A LITTLE OVER 300K. SO THIS ONE IS JUST GETING BROKEN IN WITH 89K MILES. AS STATED EARLIER, RUNS AND SHIFTS PERFECTLY AND I WOULD NOT HESITATE TO GET ON IT AND GO ANYWHERE LAND WOULD TAKE ME. JUST PUT IN A BRAND NEW BATTERY, HAD OIL CHANGED NOT LONG AGO, SO SHOULD NEED NOTHING FOR A GOOD WHILE. SHOWING APPEARANCE AS "HIGH GOOD" RATHER THAN EXCELLENT. OVERALL, PAINT AND CLEAR COAT ARE EXCELLENT AND IS A VERY GOOD LOOKING BIKE. HOWEVER, DOES HAVE SOME BATTERY ACID STAINS ON THE LEFT SIDE EXHAUST (PRETTY NORMAL FOR ONE OF THESE, AND THE LEFT SIDE PANEL HAS BEEN REPLACED WITH ONE THAT LOOKS TO BE "HOME" PAINTED. IS "OK" BUT REST OF BIKE IS SHARP ENOUGH THAT WOULD BE WORTH FINDING A BETTER ONE OR RE-PAINTING THIS ONE. ALSO, SEAT FABRIC LOOKS A LITTLE WORN AND THE VINYL SIDES NEAR THE FRONT HAVE SOME CRACKING AS SHOWN IN THE PHOTOS. NOT BAD, JUST NOT EXCELLENT. SEAT IS COMFORTABLE ENOUGH THAT IS DEFINITELY WORTH A RE-COVER AT SOME TIME. OVERALL, IS A PRETTY SHARP GL1200 AND WORTH A GOOD BIT MORE THAN THE OPENING ++NO-RESERVE+++ BID FOR SURE. PLEASE DO NOTE THIS IS A +++NO-RESERVE+++ AUCTION AND BIKE IS NOT FOR SALE ANY OTHER WAY SO HIGH BIDDER WILL DEFINITELY WIN WHETHER THERE BE ONE BID OR MANY MORE. THIS WAY, YOU KNOW YOU CAN WIN AND NOT WONDER AT WHAT PRICE IT IS REALLY FOR SALE (RESERVE AUCTION) CAN SHIP ANYWHERE IN THE SOUTHWEST FOR $300 OR LESS OR ALMOST ANYWHERE FOR ABOUT $600 OR SLIGHTLY LESS. HOWEVER, THIS IS THE "SEASON" IN BEAUTIFUL SO. ARIZONA SO COME ON DOWN AND RIDE IT BACK TO WHEREVER YOU WANT AND ENJOY THE RIDE. EXPERIENCED IN CANADIAN EXPORT PROCEDURES AND WILL DO THE U.S. CUSTOMS PAPERWORK FOR YOU. ABSOLUTELY NO CAPITAL ONE AUTO FINANCE CHECKS. WE'D BOTH BE IN THE "HOME" BEFORE THEY COULD GET IT DONE. IF NEW TO EBAY (LITTLE OR NO FEEDBACK) PLEASE EMAIL ME BEFORE BIDDING. THINK THAT ONLY FAIR AS MY 2300 PLUS FEEDBACKS SPEAK FOR MY INTEGRITY AS A SELLER AND WOULD LIKE TO KNOW A LITTLE ABOUT WHO IS ON THE OTHER END IF YOU DON'T HAVE A TRACK RECORD. HARD TO FIND A GL1200 THAT IS THIS NICE FOR AN OPENING BID THIS LOW. MOST 1200'S I SEE THIS NICE ARE IN THE $3500 PRICE RANGE SO IF LOOKS GOOD, THIS MAY BE THE ONE YOU'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR. THANKS FOR LOOKING AND MERRY +++CHRIST++MAS!
