2003, Honda Goldwing ABS – Checked out, and exceptionally clean. My Goldwing is extraordinarily clean, and is Honda’s most popular color; Honda calls it “Hot Rod” yellow and it’s absolutely beautiful. My bike has been very well maintained by a professional motorcycle mechanic. It’s low-mileage for a Goldwing, only 70,601. - I am the second owner and got it from a retired guy in Phoenix. Even though I’m a stout 70, it’s still too big for me. My loss is your gain. The guy I got it from bought it brand new, and always had it “dealer-serviced” with fresh oil and filters, every 3,000 miles - always with Mobil-1 synthetic. When I got it, I did the same. – It has a set of new Honda spark plugs, new K & N oil/air filter, radiator recently flushed, and replaced with new Honda coolant, brake fluid flushed and replaced with new Honda Dot-4. - All nuts/bolts/and fasteners were checked and either tightened up, or (where necessary), torqued to factory specs. There are no leaks of ANY kind, ANY-where. Going with the bike is a new MP-3 music system that replaced the ‘problem-prone’ CD-Changer. The ONLY blemish on the bike is on the right-rear saddlebag; three small dots, about the size of a match-stick end, from where my bicycle fell next to it. Also, if I was going to keep it long-term, I’d put new tires on it, just for the ‘confidence-factor’ alone. I had the bike returned to ‘Factory Specs’ with new: -brake pads, front/rear -bearings, front/rear -spark plugs, (iridium) -K & N air filter -K & N oil filter -Mobil-1 Synthetic oil Here’s how “Road Runner” magazine (a ‘touring-bike’ reference magazine) put it… “…This really is an amazing machine. From the moment the starter breathes life into the big 1832cc flat six, there's a feeling that an incredibly competent power plant is at work below. Even in the parking lot, the car-sized engine shows incredible grace. The twin 40mm throttle bodies feeding the high-pressure programmed fuel injectors respond adeptly to the subtlest input from the throttle. Once underway, the big six really begins to shine. Power is the least of your worries once this Wing takes flight. The completely unique sound emanating from the stainless steel six-into-two exhaust system absolutely exhilarates, yet remains well inside the civilized range of the decibel meter. Like a martial arts master, the Gold Wing doesn't need to announce her prowess to everyone within earshot. Just lay on the gas and she jumps with a motivation bettered only by machines with clip-ons and racy graphics. The engine's splendid performance is matched with an equally impressive slick shifting 5-speed overdrive transmission that spins the rear wheel via a maintenance-free drive shaft. Despite being loaded down, two up, and grinding through high mountain passes, the hydraulic-assist clutch never wavered in keeping the power on the ground. Initially, I was a bit apprehensive about a touring bike having only five gears. Yet after a couple thousand miles on the Interstate, I can attest that the sixth gear is not at all missed. Should you really need a sixth gear, give that honor to reverse: Yes, indeed, this Wing has a reverse. It's not a gear in the traditional sense because it runs off the starter motor. You simply hit the button that actuates the reverse system and thumb the starter. It moves a bit slowly, but no one needs to be on two wheels moving rapidly backwards. On a bike the size of the Gold Wing, it's surprising how often this little gem comes in handy…” – Chris Myers TECHNICAL SPECS: Original Retail Price - $ 19,699 Maintenance Schedule - 4000 / 8000 / every 8000 miles Engine Type - 1882cc, horizontally opposed, six cylinder Cooling - liquid Valve Arrangement - SOHC, 12 valve Bore x Stroke - 74 x 71mm Compression Ratio - 9.8:1 Carburetion - fuel injection Transmission Gearbox - five speed overdrive with electric reverse Clutch - wet, multiplate Final Drive - shaft drive Chassis Frame - aluminum twin spar Wheelbase - 66.6in (1,691mm) Rake/Trail - 29.25° / 4.3in (109mm) Front Suspension - 45mm cartridge fork with anti-dive, 5.5in travel Rear Suspension - Pro-Link single shock with computer controlled preload, 4.1in travel Wheels & Tires Type - cast aluminum Front Tire - 130/70R-18 Rear Tire - 180/60R-16 Brakes Front Brake - twin, three piston calipers with LBS Diameter - 296mm Rear Brake - single 3 piston caliper with LBS Diameter - 316mm Combining standard Linked Braking System™, with optional ABS Dimensions & Capacities Seat Height - 29.1in (739mm) Dry Weight - 792lb (359kg) 799lb (362kg) with ABS Fuel Capacity - 6.6gal (25l) Performance Horsepower - (measured at crank)118hp Torque - 125ft/lb Top Speed - n/a Acceleration - n/a Fuel Consumption - 40mpg Fuel Range - 264mls Equipment - Large saddlebags and trunk, adjustable windshield, electronic cruise control, electric reverse, AM/FM stereo with presets, a full line of optional accessories is also available.
