      I would rather trust my bike to a "QUACK" that KNOWS how to fix it rather than a book worm that THINKS HE KNOWS how to fix it.

          Heck, if that exhaust is mint it is almost worth $1200.00 by itself.
          The Goldwing was the featured bike at the CVMG rally and swapmeet this year at Paris, On.
          That probably would have had a $4000.00 price tag on it if it had been at the show.

                          I almost bought a used 75 Wing in this color at McBride Cycle instead of my GS650 back in 1983. The Wing went to a friend of a friend who put many kms on it.

                              Nice bike and good buy.

                              Looks like the fairing and luggage is in usable condition and would be useful. Its a bit of a project but stripping all that stuff off makes the bike quite a bit of fun to ride.

                                          When Honda introduced the first of the GL series at the 1974, Cologne show the rest of the world could never have imagined it would create a whole new breed of motorcyclist and riding style, let alone still be around in one form or another today. Most had considered a larger version of the CB750 to be on the cards, however few had guessed correctly.

                                                  Trust me Jeep.....it doesnt feel heavy when riding or cornering. But push that sucker into the garage and you know its a heavy muttha!!!! Get it and strip it down to the bare bike. Dodge all the extra weight and youll like it very much.

                                                      I meant slow as in acceleration. Kinda like my 850.....

                                                          1000ccs and it goes 100mph??

                                                          WhooHooooo!!!!

                                                          They do look correct with a 450lb rider, a 250lb woman on the back, six foot wide pile of camping gear tied on with string and topped off with a pair of lawn chairs.
                                                          If that's what you want go for it.
