Honda Gold Wing description

This bike was donated to the Farmington, NM CMA (Christian Motorcyclist Association).  All money from the sale will go to the “Run for the Son” ministries.  Check the website at www.cmausa.org for details.

 

The good: 

 

It is a 1976 Goldwing 1000cc.  I’m thinking this is the second year of manufacture for Goldwings and there is no reserve. It has electric start or kick start.  Engine  is free and does turn over with the kick option but the kick lever is missing.  Electric starter works fine when powered up. Exhaust, and chrome in pretty good to excellent shape as the bike has been stored indoors.  Classic Vetter fairing is in good to very good condition.


Clear title.  Clutch lever operates fine. 

 

The bad:

 

The gas tank has some damage as shown in photos.  There are some dents in the frame tubing around the area where both side covers attach.  Some cracks in the fiberglass tank covers and side covers.  Pretty good buckle in the rear fender.  There is a dent in the right fork tube top cover. 

 

At least one carb is damaged. It has a float mount that is broken. It also has other pieces missing.

  Appears to be a missing part or parts in the carb linkage.  Another carb that was inspected cleaned up just fine.  The two other carbs have not been inspected.

 

The engine did run (roughly) on choke and primed carbs.  All 4 Cylinders show 120 psi compression.  Bottom line - an experienced person should be able to restore the bike to running condition with a different carb and rebuild kits.

 

The speedometer has been replaced but not tested.  The original was broken and cracked. Rear turn signals need some work and the seat has some cracks.  Not sure of the mileage as odometer was on broken gauge and replaced.

   

Ignition lock has been replaced as there was no key with the bike.  It seems to work fine.

Please contact me for any questions and I’ll do my best to answer or send more pictures.  Bike is located in Farmington, NM and bidders are welcome to come check it out.  Just send me a email through ebay and I’ll give you the address.

The Japanese oddity to naming teams

Wed, 28 Jul 2010

Whenever the calendar shifts to a major Japanese race, such as the Suzuka 8hr, one of the more amusing things to do is glance down the team sheet This years highlight for me has to be team Moto Bum, with other stand outs including aprilia D.D.BOYS, Team Etching Factory Yamaha and MITO MOTO & e'freaks Honda. Looking back through the ages some of the great Japanese team names have been Burning Blood Racing Team, Dog Fight Racing and Team Moto Space amongst others.

Looking for a CBR250R or K1600GTL Forum?

Thu, 07 Apr 2011

Every year in the motorcycling world there are a few new motorcycles that gather the collective interest of enthusiasts across the country. This year those two models included the new entry-level sportbike from Honda, the CBR250R, and the new luxo-touring bike from BMW, the K1600GT and K1600GTL. While enthusiasts are gearing up for delivery of their new bikes there is a place for them to enthusiastically discuss their new purchase, or perhaps, for those who have not yet purchased, a sounding board for their thoughts.

2013 AMA Supercross Houston Race Report

Mon, 08 Apr 2013

Ryan Villopoto captured his fifth-consecutive AMA Supercross win and sixth in seven rounds with a victory in the main event at Reliant Stadium in Houston, Texas. The Monster Energy Kawasaki rider passed holeshot-taker Mike Alessi on the opening lap and led the rest of the way for the win. Alessi, riding the Motoconcepts Racing Suzuki RM-Z450, remained in the hunt for the first few laps but soon gave way to a group including Team Honda Muscle Milk’s Trey Canard, Red Bull KTM‘s Ryan Dungey and Yoshimura Suzuki’s James Stewart.
