Gold Wings are everywhere these days....I haven't seen so many in all the years I've lived here....
Just this morning I was talking to a guy with a '94 'Wing at a store he has had since new and he has something like 250,000 kms on it ........he's been all over North America without a problem......he follows the maintenance schedule and the bike looks great....
He pulls a trailer normally as his wife likes comfort...I asked him if he sometimes thinks about getting a new one but he says this one is just getting broken in......
I used to see them all over for years, but mainly on the highways, many with out of state plates, and if they were at a gas station or restaraunt, grandpa was riding it.
I think now that the used prices have fallen to realistic and affordable range, alot of us aging sport and sport touring riders have come to apprecaite just how versitile they are.
I still want a sportbike, but an Oldwing sure makes for a nice second bike.
I was also shocked at how Tiny the Gsxr1k felt the other day, after my first ride on it in a few months(because of our heatwave summer), and several hundred miles on my GW recently before hand.
I took my wife for her first ride on the GW since the full Traxxion suspension upgrade, and she loved the difference, at just how smooth the bike rides now.
These really are excellent all day rides, that when you get off, you feel like you just got up from your recliner, lol
