1979 Honda Gold Wing

Clear

I am re-listing this classic bike because the last buyer decided not to pay. Although I did get the final value fee credited, ebay did not credit the listing fee of $64, thanks buddy in SC. If you buy and do not pay it costs the seller dearly, the seller is essentially held hostage waiting for the buyer, you can't relist without waiting a certain amount of time to get the final value fee credited. The deposit is $300 due within 24 hours, pretty much immediately after offer is accepted. You will have 7 days to get a bank check to me or pay in full with cash. All of that said, this is not a bike that is going to break the bank, it's just really not that much money for what you are getting. You'd be hard-pressed to build a bike this nice for under $6500. I am listing it for 21 more days, if it does not sell I will list it in the Spring and will have little trouble getting more money for it. I know the end of summer is not the ideal time to sell a motorcycle but I didn't want to store it for the winter, somebody down south can enjoy this beauty year-round and get a good deal. This is not your father's Gold Wing! It just doesn't get any more cool than this one of a kind vintage motorcycle. It is a complete custom "Boxer" style bike that runs and rides like a top. Please look closely at all of the pictures because they are the best description. I bought this from a gentleman who had the bike done 8 years ago. It has only had 2824 miles since then. It had 60,000 miles when he had it re-done. The motor was not rebuilt but he did change the timing belts and gears. The bike runs like a sewing machine and fires right up with the normal puff of smoke for a Gold Wing. Longevity for these engines has never been an issue. He had the fork raked out 4", both fenders have been fabricated as has the headlight nacelle, beachbar style handlebars, windshield and "dash" are with lights, and exhaust bracket. Wheels are painted silver and I think he said he had to make the back wheel as well. He nicknamed the bike "Jolly Mil" because mil is Latin for 1000, kinda cool, the gold emblems on the valve covers are engraved to show this. The ignition switch was moved to the right side, the choke to the left side and he installed a switch to operate the fan (I flip it on in the video). Many many fabricating hours were put into this motorcycle and it shows. The engine and transmission have not been modified other than converting to electronic ignition. I have a clear Indiana title where he purchased it in 1995 showing 30,662 actual miles. He put almost 30,000 miles on it over the years and then decided to customize it. Since then he put the 2814, I put 10 on it. He won several shows with the bike and you can see why. If you like Honda's, or just cool motorcycles in general, and you want a Wing like no other, this bike will fit you nicely, without breaking the bank. It is not perfect, but close, there are 4-5 tiny spots or nicks. Sold as-is. I took the first bunch of pictures in the early morning, the last six closer to noon. Deposit is non-refundable if you do not follow through, but if you don't dig the bike when you come to get it I will refund the deposit, that's how sure I am you will like it. Shipping is completely up to you although I know a guy who charges .75 a mile anywhere east of St. Louis to the east coast and north of Florida. I will assist loading the bike with care.
