1996 Honda Gold Wing

++++THURSDAY MORNING --- LOWERING OPENING BID TO $4900. TIME TO GET IT GOING!! THANKS++++ 1996 HONDA GOLDWING GL1500 SE (TOP OF THE LINE MODEL), TWO-TONE CANDY SPECTRA RED, LOADED WITH GOLDWING AMENITIES, ++CB++ AND LOTS MORE. BEAUTIFUL APPEARANCE, EXCELLENT MECHANICAL CONDITION, EXTRA CHROME AND LIGHTS, REALLY SHARP BIKE THAT IS READY TO GO ANYWHERE YOU WANT TO TAKE IT. NO RESERVE AUCTION AND NOT FOR SALE ANYWHERE ELSE SO HIGH BIDDER WILL DEFINITELY WIN. CLEAR CLEAN TITLE IN HAND FOR IMMEDIATE TRANSFER. GOLDWINGS HAVE ALWAYS BEEN KNOWN FOR RELIABILITY AND LONGEVITY. THE EARLER MODELS WERE GOOD BUT THE 1500 UPPED THE BAR HERE. MANY ARE STILL GOING STRONG WITH 300K, 400K, OR MORE MILES. HAVE ACTUALLY SEEN A COUPLE WITH OVER HALF-A-MILLION MILES, STILL GOING STRONG -- NO OVERHAUL! JUST WON'T HAPPEN WITH AN AIR COOLED V-TWIN. SO THIS ONE IS JUST GETTING BROKEN IN WITH 71K MILES. HONDA STARTED A "WHOLE NEW BALLGAME" IN TOURING MOTORCYCLES WHEN THEY CAME OUT WITH THE FIRST GOLDWING IN 1975 AND THE GL1500 WAS A QUANTUM LEAP FROM ANYTHING PREVIOUS. STILL THE QUIETEST SMOOTHEST RIDE IN TOURING PLUS: 6-CYLINDER HORIZONTAL OPPOSED WATER COOLED, SHAFT DRIVEN ENGINE ++++++NOW LEGENDARY GOLDWING REVERSE++++++ ---ELECTRONIC CRUISE CONTROL WITH ACCELL/DECEL AND RESUME THAT WORKS JUST LIKE YOUR CAR'S. ---ON-BOARD COMPRESSOR FOR REAR SHOCK ADJUSTMENT AND EXTERNAL AIR SOURCE (YES, CAN AIR UP YOUR OWN TIRES) ++SE HAS EVEN MORE FEATURES------ ---TWO-TONE PAINT SCHEME +++++FACTORY CB RADIO++++++ ---ADJUSTABLE PASSENGER FLOORBOARDS ---LIGHTED HANDLEBAR CONTROLS ---VENTED WINDSHIELD ---LOWER COWL TURN LIGHTS AND FOOT HEAT VENTS ---LIGHTED UPPER TRUNK SPOILER ---REAR SPEAKERS WITH FADER CONTROL ---UPGRADED RADIO MANY NICE ADDITIONS TO THIS ONE INCLUDING: ---VERY NICELY DONE PIN-STRIPING ---COLOR MATCHED AIR WINGS ---MARKLAND ADJUSTABLE DRIVER BACKREST ---BRAND NEW NEWER STYLE CHROME ROTOR COVERS ---CHROME TRUNK LUGGAGE RACK ---CHROME SADDLEBAG SCUFF GUARDS ---CHROME FAIRING SIDE TRIM ---MUD FLAP WITH LIGHTED CHROME STRIP ALSO, THE '96 MODEL HAS THE NEWER STYLE FULL CHROME FAIRING AND A LOWER SEAT HEIGHT THAN THE EARLIER MODELS. (LOWER STARTED WITH THE '95 MODEL) ALSO, HONDA MADE SOME SIGNIFICANT HANDLING AND CARB DESIGN IMPROVEMENTS STARTING IN '95) ALL REFLECTORS (TRUNK, SADDLEBAG, AND FAIRING SIDE) HAVE BEEN CHANGED TO LIGHTS. GOOD SAFETY FEATURE. TIRES ARE MATCHED DUNLOPS. REAR MEASURES 8 TO 9/32'S WHICH IS 80% TO 90% TREAD REMAINING. FRONT MEASURES 2/32 TO 3/32 WHICH IS 35% TO 50% TREAD REMAINING SO GOOD TO GO FOR QUITE A WHILE. PAINT IS EXCELLENT AND CLEAR COAT IS SHINY AS THE PHOTOS SHOW. ANYTHING IN PICS THAT LOOKS LIKE SIGNIFICANT IMPERFECTION IS A REFLECTION. NOT POSSIBLE TO GET PHOTOS WITH PAINT THIS SHINY WITHOUT REFLECTIONS. DOES HAVE A COUPLE OF SMALL CHIPS BUT ABSOLUTELY NOTHING THAT DETRACTS FROM THE OVERALL EXCELLENT APPEARANCE. RUNS AND SHIFTS PERFECTLY AND IS QUIET AND SMOOTH JUST LIKE IT SHOULD. ++++ AND ---- EVERYTHING WORKS!! (EXCEPT "OD" LIGHT) FALL IS THE BEST TIME TO RIDE HERE SO GREAT TIME TO FLY INTO SALT LAKE INTERNATIONAL AND SEE SOME BEAUTIFUL ROCKY MOUNTAIN SCENERY ON THE WAY HOME. YOU GET TO THE AIRPORT AND I'LL GET YOU TO THE BIKE (OR VICE-VERSA) IF NEW TO EBAY (LITTLE OR NO FEEDBACK), PLEASE EMAIL ME BEFORE BIDDING. MY FEEDBACK RECORD SPEAKS FOR MY SELLER INTEGRITY SO THINK THAT ONLY FAIR IF YOU HAVE NO TRACK RECORD. REMIND YOU AGAIN THAT THIS IS A +++NO-RESERVE+++ AUCTION. I DETEST RESERVE AUCTIONS AND WON'T RUN ONE OR BID ON ONE AS YOU HAVE NO IDEA AT WHAT PRICE THE ITEM IS REALLY FOR SALE. THIS WAY, IF YOU BID----YOU CAN 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. ++++ABSOLUTELY NO CAPITAL ONE AUTO FINANCE CHECKS!! DON'T EVEN ASK. CAN SHIP ALMOST ANYWHERE AND EXPERIENCED IN CANADIAN EXPORT PROCEDURES. WILL DO THE U.S. SIDE PAPERWORK (HARD PART) FOR YOU. SUGGEST YOU IGNORE "U-SHIP" QUOTES IF PROVIDED. THEY ARE JUST A BROKER, USUALLY SHOW "LOW BALL" QUOTES, AND ARE NOTHING BUT A HASSEL THAT I DON'T WANT MY BUYERS TO HAVE. THIS IS REALLY A SUPER SHARP LOOKING PERFECT RUNNING BIKE THAT IS GOING TO MAKE SOMEONE VERY HAPPY. JUST HARD TO BEAT A GOOD LOOKING RED GOLDWING! THANKS FOR LOOKING AND KEEP PRAYING FOR OUR TROOPS WORLDWIDE! (USAF, USAR, RET.)
