Club Homepage Forums Classified Ads Buy & Sell - Everything But Airplanes Goldwing For Sale

If anyone here might happen to be in the market for a Honda Goldwing, I just happen to have one......a very nice one.

I've been riding all my life and this is my 5th (and last ) Goldwing.

At 64, I'm backing down a little and have made the decision to quite riding. I've had a long and enjoyable run but it's time to hang it up and simply enjoy the many memories.

So, this is a 2005 Goldwing that I bought new and it's pretty well loaded up.

It only has 11,700 miles (which is nothing on a Goldwing) and it's always been hangared, uh, I mean kept in a garage its entire life.

It's never been laid over on its side and it's in as pristine condition as you'll find....of course I'm just a tad bit prejudiced.

My brother and I have identical bikes and these pictures were taken on one of our many journeys.

When you look at these, don't think you're having blurred vision because they are identical in every aspect but one: MINE IS BETTER. (Mine is the one in front.)

NADA shows a retail value of 14,000.00 for one in average condition with average or slightly above average miles which I think is around 45,000 miles?

I think 15,000.00 is a fair price for mine and thought I'd list it here before I journey into the market place.

I'd also offer to fly anywhere in the Midwest in the split tail and pick you up (including wife or significant other if you'd like) to help out on the transportation side of getting here.

If I was going to buy something like that, yours would be the one I'd buy.
Sent the ad on to someone I know.

Boy, that's tempting. I've always imagined a Goldwing in my future. My buddy has one and loves it (hmmm, he might be due for an upgrade - I'll forward the ad to him).

Motorcycles intrigue me...

Motorcycles scare the crap out of me...

I'd rather fly inverted all the way to Clinton, 100 feet off the ground than get on a motorcycle.

But, what a beautiful machine it is, Jim. Looks like that thing is really a two-wheeled luxury sedan. I know the next steward will be talking for years about the gem he or she found.

I had a 1988 wing and put many miles on it, now have a soft tail Harley and loved the wing more, Nice ride Jim.

Knowing you are an EMT I can understand why.

Back in the 1980's I met an older couple from Chicago, friends of my dad's, that rode everywhere on their Goldwing. They were in their 70's at the time, and they would ride from Chicago to Alaska and other similar, lengthy journeys.

The Goldwing is a very comfortable bike for long distance travel. He described how one night he pulled into a gas station, pressed the button on the electric center stand, got off the bike, filled it up, went inside to pay the bill, came back out, pressed the button to lower the bike, then started it up and drove away.

The whole time his wife was asleep on the back seat.

My dad just spoke to them recently. He's now 101, she's 98. They finally traded in their Goldwing... for another motorcycle with a side-car.

VERY nice bike. I sold the last of 5 motorcycles not long after Jim Konst's cycle accident. If I were tempted, that would be the one.

Funny, I got away from motorcycles more or less because of flying. I was interviewed on TV years back because I was an ultralight pilot at a local event and was asked what it's like to fly. Among other things I said it was like having a three dimensional motorcycle. After I heard those words come out of my mouth and thought about them, I started to ride less and fly more.

Sorry for drooling on the pictures. lol

Cubed!

I've owned several motorcycles and have had at least 1 Harley Davidson in my possession for the last 20 years. My 1st was a 1994 Sportster, I put 22,000 miles on it in 14 months and sold it for about $2500 more than I paid for it. I had to get a bigger bike. I've ridden in 37 states, including 3 times from coast to coast on my Dyna Wide Glide. I still own that bike and ride it locally but for touring I ride my 'Geezer Glide', an Electra Glide Classic.

In my 12 years of EMS, I've been on quite a few motorcycle accidents, including those of people I knew. My advice to anyone wanting to get on 2 wheels is to take a riding safety course. The most effective safety device is between your ears, not over them. Riding is similar to flying in that you're doing your own thing, just you and the road. Even flying with others, in a group, you're together but still you in your airplane. I've explained what riding is like to 'cagers' as... 'You know when you're on a road trip and pull over in a new place, get out and smell the air, stretch your legs, etc....well when you're on a bike, the whole journey is like that'

I still ride weekly and race a dirt bike (2012 KTM 300 XCW) on weekends. If you ride with the idea that you are invisible and everyone is out to get you, you will be safer. If you go out there and ride like you own the road, your chances are much higher of getting hurt.
