Honda Gold Wing description

This might be the cleanest GL1100 Interstate you will come across and it really only has 17,736 kilometres on it. I purchased it from the original owner which rode it occasionally and only took on one extended trip, and he claimed that the only time that it was outside overnight was 10 days when he was on his trip. and when he returned, he brought it to the shop I work at and I put new Michelin Hi-Tour tires on it for him and he rode it home, put in his garage, tarped it and never moved after that and that was in 1989 and he kept in his heated garage until approximately 2 years ago when I purchased from him.

I am a 40 year+ Honda motorcycle Tech, {at the same dealership} so bringing this unit "back to life" was nothing out of the ordinary for me. This GL is immaculate, but as you can imagine, sitting for 25 plus years, never started, it needed alittle TLC. I completely rebuilt, starting at the front, both front brake calipers, both front forks, changed oil, installed new dust and oil seals, changed anti-freeze, the engine oil and filter removed and completely rebuilt carbs with all new carb kits, accelerator pump diaphragm and four new Air-Cut off valves. Installed a new Yuasa battery. The fuel tank had a small amount of rust, so the inside of the fuel tank was cleaned also. The rear caliper and rear brake system too was also completely rebuilt. And while I was at it, I removed all pieces of chrome, and let me tell you there are alot and polished them too. LOL.. This bike still has original mirrors, windshield and the seat and tour trunk pad are in perfect condition and we all know that the OEM mirrors lasted for about 20,000 kms and flopped over, the windshield became so scratched and started to peel after two or three years even if properly taken care of, and these parts on the bike are still the stock components. And I might add, that cost was not a issue when rebuilding so every Honda OEM part that was still available I purchased including all brake, carb and fork parts. The inside of the saddlebags still look brand new and also still has under tank cover, OEM air pressure gauge and case, complete tool kit and Owners manual still in plastic case that came with new Wings. It also has a Hondaline AM/FM radio which is completly functional. I completed about a month ago, so I guess its time to part with it.

There are probably more things that I did to it, but have slipped my mind but is complete and ready to go. I am not going to ride, as it is just going to sit in my shop, to look at and admire.

I can prepare to ship this unit by crating it, but all crating, shipping, insurance costs and shipping logistics are the responsibility solely of the winning bidder and all cost associated will be the responsibility of the winning bidder. If you have any other questions, please feel free to message back and I will try to respond ASAP.

Honda 'Hands'

Wed, 03 Jul 2013

Honda are well known for their commercials with their 'Cog' ad for the Honda Accord car (2003) the most awarded of its time. Honda's latest advert celebrates the curiosity of their engineers and features classic motorcycles such as the Honda Cub and the RC112. A CBR and CRF also make an appearance along with a nod to that previous ad, a cog.

Moto2 needs more radical bikes

Wed, 05 Sep 2012

Makers of fine exhausts, Taylormade Racing have built a Moto2 racer that harks back to the innovative machines like the Elf Honda 500 and Britten V1000. Since Moto2's inception in 2010 the class has featured bikes with conventional chassis but the Taylormade bike, designed by Paul Taylor and John Keogh, has a radical design featuring a carbon-fibre monocoque frame, carbon-fibre swingarm, wishbone monoshock front suspension and an under-seat radiator. However, with such radical engineering the inherent problem is that it is a risk for teams to invest in such a project.

Parrish's predictions for Silverstone MotoGP

Fri, 18 Jun 2010

I'm at Silverstone for the British MotoGP and Steve Parrish spoke to us all about his predictions for the podium. Parrish has gone for Stoner, Lorenzo and Pedrosa to take the top three spots and spray the bubbly at the end of the race. Not too sure on his call though as I think Dani will be riding on a high after winning at Mugello and surely the speedy Spaniard will take full advantage and wring the neck of the Honda at the (supposedly) high speed Silverstone Circuit.
