The GL 1000was the 3rd year for Honda's answer to the flat 4 mostly used by BMW. It's more like a car engine than the typical air cooled bikes that Honda had usually made since the Dream Era These bikes have several outlets for parts like Saber cycle, Randzacks, and many others. The GL 1000s are collectors items and are getting hard to find especially in this condition.2013-09-27 01:09:24Cornelius, NC, US484,000.00

1977 Honda Gold Wing (1977)
This is a complete low mileage genuine barn (basement) find. Last time it was on the road was 2001. Have clean title from 1997 and mileage was 34,426 when purchased then. Mileage is assumed original according to previous owner. Engine starts and runs. Has a fresh battery. I used my carb sync fuel tank and fresh fuel and it started right up. Carbs leak at the fuel bowels from dried out gaskets. Tank on bike was stored full and is in good condition. Overall condition of the bike is fair to good. I only sprayed off the dust from sitting in a basement for the last 16 years. Chrome is decent on most parts. Front wheel is good. Rear wheel has rust on all the spokes, but rim is good. Exhaust is in good condition with no rot and quiet original baffles. Vetter Windjammer fairing is complete with working radio and is in good condition. Windshield has small stress cracks at all the mounting screws, but is in usable condition as is. Luggage is generic and has all the keys. Seat has some minor tears. This is a good parts bike or restore. It is complete except the mirrors are missing. Brake calipers will need freed up. I have them disconnected to move it. Tires hold air, but are naturally shot from age.2016-11-08 04:34:31Weirton, West Virginia, United States3743000

For sale is a 1976 GL-1000 Goldwing. Overall the motorcycle is in good shape. There are some scratches which you can see on the pictures. I put a new windscreen on it this year, the battery and tires are fairly new. I did have some carborator work done last year but I am still having problems keeping the motor running when it is at idle. However, runs great once you get it on the road and running. The bike is for sale locally and as you can see, no reserve.2013-09-29 22:17:31Ellsworth, Illinois, US78,451760.00

1976 Honda GL1000 Goldwing 1000 - Exc. Original Cond. - Only 5,686 actual miles (1976)
1976 Honda Gold Wing 1000 - Unrestored - 5,686 Miles Up for sale is my cherished second year 1976 Goldwing. I searched for over 5 years to find this first generation Goldwing. I purchased it from the second owner out of Seattle in June, 2011 with just 5,025 original miles. The original tires were still on the bike but have since been changed. I saved these original tires to authenticate the mileage and they will be given to the new owner if desired. I am in my early 60's and it's time to part with this beautiful machine from my collection of vintage Japanese motorcycles. I have recently had the carburetors professionally cleaned and rebuilt. All new carb kits were installed along with new fuel lines and the correct OEM fuel filter. The battery is new and the light switch / kill switch was also replaced. New Avon Road Rider tires were installed in August, 2011 and they have just 600 miles on them. These tires do show some side wall checking but I think they are safe to ride and have many miles left. Everything functions properly on the bike with the exception of the neutral light indicator. It works brightly in neutral but also illuminates at a lesser brightness in the other gears. Turn signals, brake light, horn, high and low beam headlights, indicator lights and instruments all work. Even the annoying turn signal beeper works but can be easily disconnected if desired. In the 2 1/2 years that I have owned the bike, I have ridden it an enjoyable 661 miles. I always wanted a stock, original, unmolested, "naked" Goldwing and have certainly enjoyed the experience.2013-10-15 00:01:10Scottsdale, Arizona, US5,6864,550.00
