Not many motorcycles bear a name as iconic as the Goldwing. First released in 1974 with the original GL1000 model, the Goldwing brought with it an innovative combination of power, comfort, and leading edge technology (for the time).
Thanks to roughly 80 horses on tap and some 61lb-ft of torque, the Wing boasted more than enough grunt for extended, two-up trips. Add to that features such as a shaft drive, an electric start, some auxiliary power for accessories, and more luggage than a mid-sized SUV, and the result is a bike purpose-built for chewing through miles.
Needless to say, the original GL1000 proved an instant hit in the sport-touring market. By the turn of the decade, Honda was in full swing with the development of the Goldwing line.
Manufactured November 1975, this example is VIN: GL12021970, engine #: GL12021970. The seller acquired the bike locally from a private party approximately one month ago. Unfortunately, he has injured his shoulder and will require surgery that has sidelined his riding for months.
The odometer shows 33,874 miles.
