2000 Honda Gold Wing

+++++SAT EVENING ---- LOWERED OPENING BID TO $9500 TO MAKE IT MORE INTERESTING. OFFER BELOW STILL GOES. THE BIKE ALONE IS WORTH THIS WITH EVERYTHING THAT'S ON IT AND HOW OUTSTANDING IT LOOKS! +++++ +++SAT MORNING -- IN ANSWER TO MANY INQUIRIES ABOUT SELLING THE BIKE SEPARATELY, IF YOU BID AND WIN AND DON'T WANT THE TRAILER, I WILL "BUY IT" (DEDUCT FROM YOU WINNING BID) $1500. THE TRAILER IS WORTH A BIT MORE AND YOU WOULD DO BETTER TO JUST BUY IT AND RE-SELL YOURSELF BUT WILL DO THAT IF YOU WANT ++++ +++WILL SAY AGAIN THAT THIS BIKE IS ABSOLUTELY "DROP-DEAD GORGEOUS"! +++ 2000 HONDA GOLDWING GL1500 SE WITH MATCHING ESCAPADE SE TRAILER, TOTALLY LOADED, ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL, SUPERB CONDITION BOTH APPEARANCE AND MECHANICAL. COMPLETE TOURING PACKAGE WITH SO MANY THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS IN EXTRAS AND UPGRADES THAT WON'T EVEN TRY TO LIST THEM ALL. COLOR IS PEARL CORONODO BLUE, ONLY YEAR FOR THIS COLOR. VERY METALLIC AND PROBABLY WELL DESCRIBED AS A "ROYAL" BLUE. INSERT COLOR IS VERY CLOSE BUT SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT. THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST STRIKING BIKES I'VE EVER SEEN. AND THE 2000 WAS THE FINAL YEAR OF THE VENERABLE GL1500 SO WON'T GET ANY BETTER THAN THIS IF YOU WANT THE TOP OF THE LINE PACKAGE!! USUAL GOLDWING AMENITIES PLUS SE EXTRAS INCLUDING ++CB RADIO++, 6-DISC CD PLAYER,+++++ LOADED WITH EXTRA CHROME AND LIGHTS AS SHOWN IN THE PHOTOS. HAS SO MUCH THAT DON'T EVEN KNOW WHERE TO START OTHER THAN SAY LOOK AT THE PHOTOS!!! THE TRAILER IS THE TOP OF THE LINE ESCAPADE SE (25 CUBIC FOOT CAPACITY) THAT IS PERFECTLY COLOR MATCHED TO THE BIKE (EVEN THE STRIPING), AND WOULD COST ABOUT $5000 TO BUY NEW. TRAILER IS A 2001 MODEL AND HAS A TITLE. HAVE TO SAY THAT EVEN THOUGH THE PHOTOS LOOK GREAT, THE BIKE LOOKS EVEN BETTER STANDING NEXT TO IT. TOOK IT ON A 1000 MILE TROUBLE FREE TRIP THIS WEEK AND IT GOT COMPLIMENTS WHEREVER I STOPPED. PAINT AND PLASTIC ARE EXCELLENT, CLEAR COAT VERY SHINY, AND IT RUNS AND SHIFTS PERFECTLY AS WOULD EXPECT WITH ONLY 61K MILES. HONDA STARTED A "WHOLE NEW WORLD" OF TOURING WHEN THEY INTRODUCED THE FIRST GOLDWING IN 1975 AND THE GL1500 WAS A QUANTUM LEAP FROM THE EARLIER MODELS. 6-CYLINDERS--ELECTRONIC CRUISE----REVERSE---- AND THE QUIETEST SMOOTHEST RIDE YET. SOME EVEN PREFER IT TO THE NEWER GL1800 (SUPER BIKE FOR SURE) AS THE 1500 HAS MORE STORAGE SPACE, A HIGHER RATED LOAD CAPACITY, AND A SLIGHTLY MORE "CUSH" RIDE. THEY MADE THE 1500 FOR 13 YEARS SO MUST HAVE BEEN DOING SOMETHING RIGHT! THE 1500 ALSO SET NEW STANDARDS FOR DEPENDABILITY AND LONGEVITY. MANY ARE STILL GOING STRONG WITH 300K, 400K, OR MORE MILES. HAVE ACTUALLY SEEN A COUPLE WITH OVER HALF-MILLION MILES, STILL GOING STRONG, NO OVERHAUL. STANDARD AMENITIES ON THE 2000 MODEL GOLDWING INCLUDED: ---ELECTRONIC CRUISE CONTROL WITH ACCELL/DECEL/ AND RESUME JUST LIKE YOUR CAR'S. ---ON-BOARD AIR COMPRESSOR FOR REAR SHOCK ADJUSTMENT AND EXTERNAL AIR SOURCE. ---FACTORY AM/FM/CASSETTE WITH INTEGRATED INTERCOM SYSTEM ++++LEGENDARY GOLDWING REVERSE++++++++ MANY ADDITIONAL FEATURES ON THE SE MODEL (TOP OF THE LINE) INCLUDING: ---FACTORY CB RADIO ---LIGHTED HANDLEBAR CONTROLS ---LOWER COWL FOOT HEAT VENTS AND TURN LIGHTS (THESE HAVE BEEN CHANGED TO RUNNING LIGHTS) ---ADJUSTABLE PASSENGER FLOORBOARDS ---LIGHTED UPPER TRUNK SPOILER (LIGHT IS BRAKE LIGHT ALSO) THIS ONE HAS SO MANY EXTRAS THAT WILL LIKELY MISS SOMETHING: ---ALPINE 6-DISC CD CHANGER WITH 2 CONTROLS ---FIRECREEK GAUGE SET (VOLTMETER AND OUTSIDE AIR TEMP GAUGES) ---COMPUFIRE HIGH OUTPUT ALTERNATOR AND GEL BATTERY ($400 PLUS OPTION) ---WIRING FOR HEATED CLOTHING FOR RIDER AND PASSENGER ---WOOD GRAIN TRIM KIT ---MARKLAND CHROME DRIVER FLOORBOARDS WITH HEEL-TOE SHIFTER ---UTOPIA BUILT-IN DRIVER'S BACKREST ---COLOR MATCHED AIR WINGS ---FULL CHROME LOWER COWL SET ---CHROME SADDLEBAG AND TRUNK RAIL SETS WITH "GOLDWING" SCRIPTING ---CHROME SIDE FAIRING TRIM (REALLY GOOD KIND) WITH CHROME FAN EXIT VENTS ---CHROME SADDLEBAG LIGHT BAR (OVER $300 ALONE YEARS AGO) ---KURYAKYN ERGONOMIC GRIPS WITH WRIST REST (BEST ONES AVAILABLE) THERE IS MORE CHROME BUT AM GOING TO JUST LET YOU LOOK AT THE PHOTOS. OTHER EXTRAS YOU CAN'T SEE INCLUDE: ---MODULATING HEADLIGHT (EXCELLENT SAFETY FEATURE) ---ALL REFLECTORS HAVE BEEN CHANGED TO LIGHTS (ANOTHER SAFETY FEATURE) ---KURYAKYN "RING OF FIRE" ROTOR COVER LIGHTS ESCAPADE SE TRAILER IS MADE SPECIFICALLY TO MATCH THE 1500 SE MODEL. NOTICE THE TAIL LIGHTS. INCLUDES THE+++COOLER PACKAGE+++ CHROME WHEELS, CHROME TONGUE, AND +++GARMENT BAG+++ ON THE INSIDE LID. IF YOU WILL PRICE THIS OUT INCLUDING PAINT, WILL COST AROUND $5000 TO BUY FROM ESCAPADE. I COULD PROBABLY GET MORE OUT OF SELLING THE BIKE AND TRAILER SEPARATELY BUT THIS COMBINATION IS JUST TOO NICE TO BREAK UP UNLESS I HAVE TO. REALLY HOPE SOMEONE APPRECIATES HOW NICE THE PACKAGE IS AND WANTS BOTH. TIRES ARE DUNLOPS, REAR IS ALMOST NEW ELITE 3. FRONT IS DIFFERENT TREAD AND ABOUT 50% TREAD REMAINING. ALMOST DUE FOR OIL CHANGE SO WILL DO THAT BEFORE IT LEAVES HERE. ONLY DEFECTS ARE ROCK CHIPS IN THE CUSTOMARY PLACES ON THE TRAILER AND THE USUAL MIRROR EDGE SCRATCHES, AND SOME "SPIDER WEBBING" ON THE WOOD GRAIN TRIM PIECES ON THE RADIO AND FUEL DOOR. OTHERWISE ABSOLUTELY SUPERB. PLEASE AGAIN NOTE THIS IS A +++NO RESERVE+++ AUCTION AND NOT FOR SALE ANYWHERE ELSE SO HIGH BIDDER WILL DEFINITELY WIN. SO---DON'T BID UNLESS READY AND ABLE TO BUY. NON-PERFORMING HIGH BIDDERS (WON'T CALL THEM WINNERS) JUST MUCK IT UP FOR THE REST OF US HONEST PEOPLE. IF NEW TO EBAY, PLEASE EMAIL ME BEFORE BIDDING. MY FEEDBACK (22OO 100% POSITIVE) SPEAKS FOR MY INTEGRITY AS A SELLER SO THINK IT ONLY FAIR TO ASK THAT IF YOU DON'T HAVE AN EBAY TRACK RECORD. CAN SHIP ALMOST ANYWHERE BUT SPRING HAS COME TO THE ROCKIES SO GREAT TIME TO FLY IN AND RIDE IT BACK. IF YOU GET TO SALT LAKE INTERNATIONAL, WILL GET YOU TO BIKE OR VICE-VERSA. EXPERIENCED IN CANADIAN EXPORT PROCEDURES AND WELCOME CANADIAN BUYERS EH! HAVE SOLD A LOT OF GOLDWINGS TO YOUR NEIGHBORS, ESPECIALLY WITH THE FAVORABLE EXCHANGE RATE NOW. WILL TAKE CARE OF THE U.S. SIDE PAPERWORK FOR YOU (HARDEST PART) +++ABSOLUTELY NO CAPITAL ONE AUTO FINANCE CHECKS!!! DON'T EVEN ASK!! +++ THIS IS REALLY ONE OF THE NICEST TOURING PACKAGES I'VE SEEN IN A LONG TIME. WHOEVER WINS THIS ONE WON'T BE DISAPPOINTED!!! THANKS FOR LOOKING AND KEEP PRAYING FOR OUR TROOPS WORLDWIDE!! (USAF, USAR, RET)
