Re: Sad day-gz down for the winter
Had a Vstrom 650 for 7 years and it was a foolproof, bulletproof bike but I tired of it. I am thinking of a cruiser now with just enough comfort for a day ride with a few stops to stretch the old body parts. Of course I am also looking at an old Gold Wing in good shape. They are very comfy and any parts needed are always available.

Re: Sad day-gz down for the winter
Like those old Aspencade ?
I've seen them go for 2-3 with high kms. |

Re: Sad day-gz down for the winter
Just trying to get a bite on a 82 Wing right now. The seller wants too much with absolutely no maintenance history. I have a $2200 limit set for another bike. I can afford more but I figure to limit my spending now and know there will be certain expenses later on any older bike. Luckily I have friend who is a pretty good mechanic and knows a lot about Wings of the past.
He bought a 84 Wing that needed a lot of TLC and now it runs like new. I am impressed with way he does things. Login or Register to Remove Ads |

Re: Sad day-gz down for the winter
Good luck, this is the best time to buy and sooner or later they will drop. My Marauder was originally asking $500 more then what I got it for.

Re: Sad day-gz down for the winter
The owner of the Wing is asking $2950 on CL but will take $2500. Gotta think about this one for a while. Maybe offer $2400 if it looks real good in person. How the heck would I get a 700 pound bike up into the back of my Ranger? Can't/won't ride it back, too many unknowns with a strange bike.

Re: Sad day-gz down for the winter
That is not bad, take the ride with BCAA to cover you in case of failure. :3
