Hello

I've owned a Honda CX500 since 1995 and got it because it was shaft driven and liquid cooled. Another reason it was cheep and needed some TLC. The down side is the lower gearing and high revving at higher speeds. I'm an active member of https://cx500forum.com/

The Yamaha XS500 was a freebe that was saved from the scrap. I got it running on the cheep. Parts are getting harder to find.

I like the full dress look. You'll probably never find me riding a bike bigger than 100cc without a full fairing. Thus brings me to the GoldWinds. I don't currently have one, but eventually will probably be looking for a barn find in the next year or so. Something that someone hasn't put a ton of $$$ into and expecting it back. I would also grab a SilverWing in the same condition.

I do all of my own work on my cars, trucks, bikes and computers.

:thanks:

Dan
 
Welcome to the CGW Forums, ShaftDrive!!! :clapping: :clapping: :clapping:

Hope you find a nice 'Wing quickly! :beg:
 
Hello Dan and welcome to CGW from backlander in southern Arkansas. The barn finds are still out there and you will likely find what your looking for. Good luck in your search. In the mean time you can learn a lot about the goldwings following the forums here.
 
Welcome aboard. After your first 20 minute ride on any model of the flat four oldwings you'll be sold. Lots of parts can be intermixed for personalizing your bike.

I have a feeling (that's a good thing to have!) it will not take that long! I think the feeling will be not having a numb butt! It would be nice to have something with power and not having to have the high RPMs!
 
They are heavy and take practice at parking lot speeds. On the road it's easy to forget how big they are.
