- Former '82 GL1100 "The Slug"
I have our recently restored '81 GL1100 Standard for sale. It has 20,908 original miles on it. Bike was garage kept. It is also for sale locally, but the local price is $3500 (I am offering a more than a 15% discount for Forum Members). I have a clean New Jersey Title.
