1982 Honda Gold Wing

I like the fact that the price was right,i have no dislikes,i bought the goldwing cause i got tired of working on my harley.

I recently bought a 1982 honda Aspencade 1100 with low mileage.When I went to pick up the motorcycle it was in better shape than I thought it would be. Just about everything worked and it has lots of lights and options. Altough I could not get it to start, I bought it anyway hoping the problem was not serious. (I suspected a couple of dirty carburators). Much to my relief It was just diry carbs and I had it running beautiful in a few hours. It is a great joy to ride and can't to go to bike shows with it. I am one HAPPY EBAYER. Thanks to EBAY for making it possible.

I love everything about the bike. I bought the bike in Alberta Iam on vancouver island. So It was a long ride bringing baby home. Once I got her back home had to tune her up as she didnt adjust to well to the altitude change. Reminds me of me when I first moved here to the island. I ride the bike alot around town which is great for that>
Cause when I shop or even just need a place to store a helment. You have A trunk and side bags which is great! Also Iam close to many off the beaten path roads which are paved. So if you love touring you never get out of 2nd or 3rd on these roads.Lots of turns as you wind around the island. The bike has also taught me a thing or two about mechanics.I took it toA Honda shop for some tune up work.The mechanic there said he had never worked on A bike like mine.Plus they wanted big bucks to get expireance working on my bike.Thats when I decided to work on it myself.I bought A service manual off ebay and never looked back.

This cycle was misrepresented, rear brake mastercylinder had to be replaced, battery had to be replaced, fairing was broken so badly had to be removed, tires had to be replaced, had to fumigate to kill all the ants in the frame, air suspension leaked so bad, had to be replaced, I could go on but I get to frustrated. I didn't leave feedback for this Item because the company that I bought it from, is out of buisness! I will never buy a vehical online again, and if anyone really reads this, take my advice,and you won't either!

Like most trikes it's trying to turn on curvey roads. On the highway it's great. The rear suspension is a little rough and railroad tracks the back bangs because of the welding axle frame and fender vibrate. I rode it over 100 miles in town and that's a days work. On the road at 65 it was smooth.

the bike paint was more than faded. It had brake fluid spilled on the tank cover bald tires and the person selling the bike was not the title holded. He had purchased the bike and resold it without transfering the title into his name.
The reason i continued with the purchase is because of e-bays saying that when i bid and won the bid i was obligated to puchase it.

it looks all right so i bid on it right know i dont know it not here yet it look like a good by so i bid on it and i payed for it right away

I did about 2 months of research before I bought my Goldwing on eBay. It was pretty scary buying it online but I took the chance. I wasn't disappointed. Same Honda reliability as the Hondas I grew up riding.
This bike is the most comfortable bike I have ever ridden. Not to mention the fact it will get up and go with the slightest twist of the throttle, even fully loaded.
I've had to spend about a grand getting it up to my standards but it is worth it.
I would recommend this bike to anyone!

This is a Vintage bike - Honda '82 GL 1100. As of 2007, the manufactured date puts it at 26 years old. This particular one, bought on eBay, had verified LOW miles (19K) so after replacing an aging timing belt, fork oil/seals, tires, brakes, filters, stereo, etc., this bike FLIES!! Sort of looks like (w/o the ferring on it) a mini-4cyl Valkyrie, (took the Vetter kit off, too) but gets much, much better gas mileage and endless torque. This bike was definetely technically advanced for its time!! We ride in groups and this one easily scoots ahead of the pack. Been on several long distance runs with it and other than a footboards falling off : ) nothing wrong at all.

Gets a lot of attention, too. Am a hardcore Classic Cruiser lover but have no complaints with this bike except that it's hard to switch between forward controls and this; the foot position is just hard to get used to for me. I also have a custom built Harley/Indian combo - it's reallyl neat - but the GL1100 will out perform it at every opportunity! Only down side to it is that the much loved "Rumble" you get with a V-twin with a good set of pipes; Can't get that out of a 4-cyl. It accelerates like a CVT - SMOOTH, and has instant response to the throttle. Have to be careful. It also reminds me of the Cadillac V-8 North Star engine - don't know you're going 90 till you look at the speedometer. Really have to watch it because this bike hits those kinds of speeds so smoothly that you don't notice it creeping up on you until you start passing everyone!

I took a big chance on buying this bike, sight-unseen, and completely unfamiliar with Wings, but glad I did. Had to invest some money to bring it up to my road standards, but no regrets. I have just a little over $4K invested in the bike now and it's worth every penny. Very comfortable for passengers, too. After taking the Vetter kit off, temporarily stripped it down to a naked bike and, honestly, it was almost dangerous with that extra 100 pounds off of it. More power than necessary for me.

These bikes have a loyal following. There are groups who restore these and won't ride anything else and I can see the appeal. Bottom line is the bike, once serviced, is extremely reliable, very manageable, outperforms anything else we've ever ridden or ridden with - other than a newer Wing, customizeable, attention getting, and a blast on the straight-of-way, windy roads, or hairpin turns. I would Highly recommend one that was in a good condition to start with. A little bit of added money invested and you've got a sweet ride.
