    I own a 1975 Goldwing GL 1000. Bought it used 7 years ago and it still looks almost new, so it turns heads regularly. Have had several guys tell me it was their first bike and they'd love to have one again. It's turquoise blue & stock, without the bags & other accessories of later models. All I've added is a windshield, & I enjoy its smooth, quiet ride and unassuming powerful acceleration. First-year issue of this bike, so it has points, not electronic ignition. Plus it has manual, not hydraulic valves, that need periodic adjustment (cost = $300). Honda corrected these two issues in later models. Have had several offers to sell, but it'll be awhile before I let go of this great bike. Only has 28K miles, so don't ride it a lot, but just enough to keep it looking and sounding good.

    I have two early models of the Honda Goldwing, a 1976 GL1000 LTD and a 1979 GL1000 that I have owned for more than 20 years. This early model is among the best handling and quickest due to the much lighter weight, since Honda did not dress these early bikes. The 80 hp, 1000 cc opposed 4 cylinder engine has a great power curve, as well as very low vibration level, perfect for either cruising for hours at 80 mph, or commuting daily through town. The center of gravity is very low, due to low engine ...

    I've owned motorcycles for over 40 years, but ridden the same '79 GL1000 Goldwing for 27 years. I have found that with the GL's great 80 hp power curve, it has remained a perfect bike, whether commuting or riding all day at 80 mph. It's just heavy enough to manager any road conditions, but since this early model has no fairing, it fits into the current "naked" vintage style. She can ride easily with any of my sport tour friends in the Colorado Rockies' canyon curves, and easily out powers my V-t ...

    Overall, It's a great bike with ultimate machine. However, would like to share a few of my suggestions.
    Additional Features
    1) Retractable Pair Of Wheels To Support The Bike Upright For Reversing or Moving Forward At Speed Below 20 Km/h 2) A Good Windshield Quality With Its Wiper 3) Better Reception For CB Communication With Smaller Earpiece.
    The above good and bad points are referring to GL 1500 SE model whereas the general comment is for both the 1500 and 1800. That's about all.

    I owned a Honda Goldwing a few years ago it was an 1100cc model on a V plate (1979) I was at a time in my life when I believed (wrongly) that I'd grown out of sports bikes and needed something comfortable with which to tour on. I naturally went out an bought a 'wing' or 'Lead sled', or 'Aspencrate' or 'flying mattress' - there are so many nicknames for this enormously heavy mile cruncher which since it's introduction back in the mid seventies has grown bigger and fatter (like me) as the years we ...
