I just picked up this 1997 Honda Goldwing GL1500 for $2500. It was covered in dust and hadn't been registered since 2015. I was told by the gentleman that I bought it from that it was his grandfather's bike. According to the title, his grandfather was the second owner and purchased in 2004 with a little over 22k miles. So from 2004-2015, there was only an additional 7k miles put on, and it sat the rest of the time up until I purchased in 2023. The fuel pump needed to be replaced as well as a new battery. Besides that, the bike runs perfect! I also had to rebuild the clutch master cylinder due to a leak, and bleed all brakes with new fluid. New tires are definitely on the menu with the rear tire date coded 2002!!!

I have ridden with a man who owns a 1993 Honda Gold Wing 1500 cc with 390,000 miles on it this year. You have plenty of time to break yours in.

Greetings, Amazing vintage motorcycle 🇺🇸🎉🍾🇺🇸 About the cassette player not working, change the 5amp fuse from the relay box behind the left saddlebag(remove the left side panel and you will see) I just bought me one, but is burgundy. Keep producing more videos, in all what you are doing with the motorcycle. They are amazing motorcycles but too heavy.

I was not aware of the 5amp fuse common failure so thank you for pointing that out. In my case, this was not the issue unfortunately.

I am the original owner of a 1997 Valkyrie with 107,000 miles. Your GW has a lot of life in her. Be sure to change all fluids to include brake and clutch fluid. Keep the final Drive splines greased, check brake pads and so on.

I think $2500 an some battery costs were good deal for 97' GW. I paid $1800 for 88' that 9 yrs older. Now it comes down to accessories, maintenance, etc... (This was my thought on my bike buy: 88' means it's old, but first yr with reverse, making it collector item. Trailer hitch an accessories cost more than $1800! Maintenance records an care were better than mine, an I thought I was anal about records! Finally, this GW sold new for $18,000! I'm buying it for $1,800!) Will your bike do the vertical quarter coin test? My 88' can still balance a quarter sit on it's side, while motor running! Oh, the seat was ripped, now your bike's junk! Haha!

How do so many youtubers find such low priced nearly perfect Honda gold wings?

@twobikesandadrone 8 месяцев назад

Nobody wants the older Wings since they don't handle as well or have all the fancy stuff that the 1800s have. But the 1500s are a much better riding bike than the newer ones I've been told. Too afraid I'll like the 1800s too much so I haven't ridden one. But I sure do love my 1500!!

They are out there. You just have to always be on the lookout. A good tip is to have cash on hand at all times. The best deals pop up after the banks close!

@michaelwilharms570 9 месяцев назад

There is a '97 for sale in Wisconsin with 6,000 miles on it, but I'm afraid it hasn't been used enough and everything is so old. And dealers won't work on old bikes anymore.

@miguelroaming 9 месяцев назад

My experience so far has been that these bikes are extremely easy to work on and very reliable. I was dreading pulling the carbs which seemed like a lot of work, but thankfully, there is lots of helpful information for working on these bikes and it turned out to not be very difficult at all. I can almost guarantee, that with a carb cleaning, new battery, fresh gas, and new tires, you'd have a very reliable bike for decades to come. But yes, you are 100% correct, most dealers and bike shops won't touch these bikes so you'll need to get your hands dirty. For me, wrenching is part of the fun.

@kman-mi7su 9 месяцев назад

I've heard some dealers will still service older Goldwings. If not, look for an independent shop in your area I'd say. Check with a Goldwing group in your area and see who they use to do service on their bikes.

@twobikesandadrone 8 месяцев назад

@@miguelroaming All you need is a service manual....which hopefully are still available. I've had mine completely apart, so I could get all 40 something individual pieces painted....and I'm no mechanic....but I got it back together and it still ran....LOL Oil/brake/clutch fluid and tire changes are not that difficult....and that's the majority of what you'll ever have to do. Plus, there are lots of old guys out here that love to help their fellow GoldWingers!!

Why does it say 92,2000 miles?

@miguelroaming Месяц назад

Ha...I think I see what you are seeing. It's actually just glare going through the first zero "0". But if that was actually a "9", It would be the highest mileage Goldwing ever with 929, 484 miles! Coming up on a million miles. :)
