Superb 1976 Honda GL1000
« on: May 22, 2019, 03:52:13 PM »
If you want to steal a beautiful bike, visit the Canadian Vintage Motorcycle Group Website. CVMG.CA
In the “For Sale” Section, probably on Page Two now, you’ll find it. I have seen this motorcycle and it is exquisite. The owner has done a huge amount of work, including an engine rebuild. It has a few upgrades that may not be to your taste (gold rims, some paint on the fenders and a Corbin Seat) but it is easy to change back, if desired. I’ve seen it in person. Very nice work.

He is asking $4300 CANADIAN and open to offers! That could work out to $3000 US dollars for a machine I am sure he has spent 3X that....... my shop is too full now, or I would be on it!

Those are the wheels from the limited production GL1000 LTD model. If you didn't like them they have some extra value for Goldwing guys. The pictures show both a stock seat and the Corbin, although that isn't the right stock seat for a '76 model, it looks like a later '78 seat. That is definitely a VERY reasonable price for this particular bike.

I’ve seen the bike up close and know the owner. He wants to move on the other projects and I figure it is a complete STEAL. Anyone could fly in from anywhere and ride it home. It’s that good.
