Low Mileage Aspencade For Sale

[Scot Thompson]

Well....I guess I am going to part with my pristine 1985 Gold Wing Aspencade. I bought a GL1800 and I can't justify keeping both.

This bike runs fantastic and is very dependable. Current mileage is 31, 800 but I still ride it. It has new (6/14) Dunlop Elite 3 tires, battery is an AGM new in June, a Poor Boy alternator installed in July even though the factory still functions somewhat, and it is loaded with goodies, mostly Drag Masters...even has a like-new custom bag for the luggage rack! I rode this to Kansas this year from NC and yesterday I rode it over the mountain and back; I will continue to ride it in these mountains...so mileage is increasing a bit. It averaged 42 mpg on the trip with a high of 50.4 and a low of 37.6 mpg. It starts, idles and cruises perfectly. This is a great bike and I've gone through most everything on it.

I will ask $3500 in the spring. If you buy it before Christmas, $2900! Located in western North Carolina.

Here is a link to a recent video walking around the GW:

Nice bike! What year 1800 did you buy?

I bought a 2007 comfort, NAV, ABS. 55k miles. It has more miles than the Aspy! I've really made some assessment of the two bikes. First, the GL1200 has no problem keeping up with the GL1800s. I've ridden hundreds of miles with the Aspy vs. the 1800s and there is virtually no speed difference. The real difference is in the 1800s torque. But speed, handling, stopping...all pretty close. The GL1200 gets noticeably better gas mileage - always! The 1200 also has more storage capacity. And, it is lighter. While not a light bike, the GL1200 is a bit more manageable, even with the taller seat.

I forgot to state that this bike has a back rest too. I just don't keep it on around town.

Very nice 1200a, good luck with your sale. :good:

I'd keep it but then I already have 5 wings and a dozen or so other bikes.
