1977 Honda Gold Wing

GL13023147

Clear

Here is a wonderful running and driving daily 1977 Honda Gl1000 with a clean title. Unlike other motorcycles of this age, this is titled, registered, and insured in my name, so no funny business tracking down registered owners. This is a wonderful and great bike that I would trust to take me anywhere and I have gone a lot of places on it. It has 32,500 original miles, but may go up as I ride this bike often and sometimes daily. I will have the bike available after the 16th of July, for pickup. I am currently out of state. See Video Here:https://youtu.be/sbM7DOB5XdE This GL1000 meets its purpose beyond well. When I ride this bike I find it so hard to believe that it is 40 years, because it is so smooth and reliable. Everyone is always asking how old it is and is a great conversation starter. These are becoming very collectible when running and driving and their values are creeping upwards very quickly. I have taken this bike all across New Mexico and Texas with zero problems whatsoever with mile after mile passing by in desert heat. This old girl loves to cruise at 70 MPH with ease. This is not a show bike, it is ridden and used and 40 years old. The last owners were in Louisiana, so the bike does have surface rust in a few areas. From what I see, the rust is all truly surface rust and not effecting anything safety or performance. I used tin foil to remove the surface rust in visible areas, but have not had time to go through the rest of the bike and truly clean it up the way she deserves. The exhaust system does have pitting, so not perfect either. The left mirror is missing because the base is so tightly screwed I can't remove it but haven't tried too hard. All signals, brake lights, fuel, speed, and temperature gauges are working which is rare for the year. Motor is very healthy and so smooth as is the whole bike with its excellent suspension. I can hear a little oxygen escaping from the boots at times, so probably needs to be tightened or investigated for a vacuum leak but does not bother the performance of the bike. I have done very little maintenance to the bike aside from oil, coolant, and filters so I can't answer any technical questions about long term repairs and I haven't had the bike too long to know all service history but can try to answer any questions you may have. I have too many bikes in my residence so one has to go. Lastly, this is a 40 year old bike and is not perfect in the slightest. Has scratches/nicks in spots and just isn't collector grade but is rider grade. It is a bike you don't have to keep locked in the garage, it can be driven daily. This 1977 is open to your interpretation what to do with it. You can keep it like is and ride it for the next 75,000 miles or you can slowly customize the bike back to perfect original glory buying the original numerous parts on eBay or other retailers. See the photos for the best description and I will try to upload a video that helps you see the stance of the bike. See photos for the accessories that come with the bike. I have removed the custom seat and have the bike looking how it would have been leaving the factory. As I am sure you understand, I can't place a guarantee on a bike this old. It could run another 30 miles or another 30,000 miles. I know it will go the distance since these bikes are notorious for that skill. With all that being said, I would ride this bike across the country tomorrow. Shipping is the responsibility of the buyer and ask any questions you may have. -Dan On Jun-24-17 at 13:20:47 PDT, seller added the following information: See video on YouTube here! https://youtu.be/sbM7DOB5XdE
