Back in the day, I had a 1978 GL1000 example, aka "The Root Beer Float!"
It was a fun bike...low and FAST...when wound up, it would run the quarter-mile in 12 seconds. :rolleyes: :shocked: :thumb: :boozing: Bought for $2,200 and sold 2 years later for $2,500.
I suspect it would bring a LOT more money on BaT today...(*SIGH*)

That was a great looking Goldwing JJ. The wheels make it pop.

Those were the classic "COMSTARS", yes? :wink:

The Honda Comstar wheels used in 1978 were subject to a recall.

Never knew this...(??), and never had a problem with mine...Maybe I put several thousand miles on that bike...

JJ,
I had an 81 Goldwing with black Comstars. Put about 140,000 miles. No wheel problems

The first year GL1000 was 1975, and the most desirable year from a collector standpoint, and it had "spokes"...and I always liked spokes compared to mags or COMSTARS....(just sayin') :wink: :thumb: :cool:

Funny how these were considered big bikes but compared to today's bike it's on the smallish side. :tongue: I'd like to get one stock but BAT is crazy on the prices. :grin:

Well...it's almost at $6K now...and with no RESERVE...so YES, my prediction is $10K (+ / -) a few hundred... :thumb: :wink: :smiley:

At $6,300 now...one (1) day to GO...and *** NO RESERVE!! *** :wink: :thumb: :cool:
Will it hit $10,000?!? :shocked: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :boozing: :cool: :bow: :thumb:

Last I looked, some commenters were dissing it’s service history, timing belt, water pump etc... might be trying to discourage bids.

Well, yes, all those things need to be addressed to make it reliable and sorted...but overall, it is still is a nice example to start with... :wink: :thumb: :boozing:

I have noticed that nice examples of vintage / classic motorcycles are going for BIG BUCKS on BaT these days.... :shocked: :rolleyes: :huh:
A group of us will go to the MECUM auction in Vegas in late Jan. 2022...so we will also see what has changed since -...and how INSANE prices will be then!! :wink: :thumb: :boozing: :cool:

Yeah, I also recall seeing the first gen Goldwings selling for next to nothing. A friend offered me a 1975 or 76 yellow Goldwing for $600 or $700. This was around 1985 or so. At the time, I had no room for another bike.

@JJ
I thought you l might like to see this '79 that I Just brought home ta-day... I dig it. Runs although poorly, needs carb work, duh...! The engine sounds great. Mostly there, left side cover is missing.
Help me, Please...! Seems to never end, I'm Ok with it. :grin:
Cheers,
Rob
Pay no attention to the cluttered side of the garage, it is usually hidden by a truck.
