UP FOR SALE IS MY 1988 GL1500 GOLD WING

As a Touring ride, his has been a Great Bike. I decided to get the same model when I got my next Wing. The Styling of this model screams Cruiser. The Lines flow Beautifully from Tip to Tail. It's a Machine that Looks Elegant in Her Stance. The newer styling of the Wings, n my opinion, re trying too hard to look like a crotch rocket. These are Big Heavy Touring Bikes that set the standard for what a Touring Machine should do. Go very long distances in Comfort and Grace.
If you ride two up, hen your passenger will be very happy each time they climb aboard this cruiser. There's a Great Seat with a High Backrest and Armrests, oot rests, nstead of small foot pegs. An Intercom, o you can both communicate without yelling. It's nice.
Pictures can Not tell the whole story. Remember she's an 88. So cosmetically She looks pretty damn good for her age. But she does have a few small signs that tell. The front fender, lear coat, tarted peeling off a couple years ago. There are little dings here and there. The drivers seat had tears. Little ones that started. I took the seat to an aircraft guy that redoes the seats in the airplanes we refurbish, nd he told me that those motorcycle seats can not be repaired (sewn/stitched). So I broke out my Gorilla Duct tape and started making my own repairs. Hey, didn't have an extra hundred bucks for a seat cover! It, y repair, topped the tears from running, nd most importantly, rotected the underlying Foam from damage. The Passenger seat is rip free. Mechanically, ide to New York Today. Small stuff like the cruise control button that sticks. Just needs to be cleaned. The Cruise indicator light on the dash comes on, ut sometimes it doesn't kick in. I am told by a shop I use in Newport Beach that it's no big deal. He gives the first fifteen minutes for free, o look at a problem. He feels it can be fixed that quick. The radiator reserve tank (located near the handlebar crown, as a "T" fitting on the hose. When I bought the bike 6 or 7 years ago, t was missing. I temp fixed it back then and just haven't gotten around to doing it right. I know, 'm feeling shame... again, o big deal, asy enough to get to. No removing body panels or anything like that. A two inch wide cowling pops on and off and provides access.
Hey if you are thinking about a Wing, ou can't do better than this deal. I need her gone. I'm unemployed and need the cash. My plans were to keep her and turn her into my Rat Bike. In hard times, ad's Toys are the First to go.
Oh, ver the years and many miles on this ride, have done mileage studies. Here's what you can expect. Highway mileage - At 65 you can expect 42 miles per gallon. at 75 and above it'll go to 32 to 35 per gal. I know! what a difference. It didn't matter if I was towing my trailer or not. This Motor is smooth and powerful.
Once again She's been and IS a Great Bike! From riding two up thru a snow storm to over a hundred degrees thru Death Valley. Those special days of Spring to the August Rain storms. If your married and looking to get your Wife out on the ride with yo, his is the vehicle. She'll be comfortable and happy. If you are into camping, ut a trailer hitch on and tow all your gear with you. You would be amazed at what we take when we camp.Checkout the last photo. This Bike has done it all.
