Time warp is an overused word when it comes to cars and motorcycles, but on this bike it’s absolutely true. Everything on this motorcycle is just the way it was in the late 70’s, besides the gas, oil, and air in the tires. This Gold Wing has had one owner for the vast majority of its life. I’ve never seen a better original first generation Gold Wing before or since I bought this one.

The cosmetic condition of this machine is just as good as it looks in the photos. Everything on this motorcycle is original, from the tires to the paint to the exhaust system. The seat is also in original condition and beautiful. As you can see from the photos, the tool kit and owner’s manual are also present. And the running condition of the machine is flawless, starting immediately.

This bike has been part of my collection for a while and is ridden on a regular basis, running and riding with absolutely no issues. As you can also see from the photos in the photo section, the machine has never had any restoration performed. Period. The condition is EXACTLY what it looks like in the photos.

The paint on the tank and side covers is original, and have never had any type of paintwork or touchup. The bike has never been in any type of accident or been dropped at any time. The Gold Wing runs and rides the way you expect a machine with this type of mileage to run. All of the mechanical components have been checked over to ensure they work properly including the clutch and brakes. The carbs were completely re-built this season and function perfectly, and there is a new battery installed. The inside of the gas tank is beautiful. I only use Sunoco Optima high octane/non-ethanol fuel in this and all of my bikes.

The Goodyear tires currently installed are ORIGINAL to the machine, obviously have comparatively few miles on them, and have plenty of service life left, but if you want to really ride this machine, I would recommend replacing the tires and saving them. There is absolutely nothing else you will have to do to this motorcycle to ride and enjoy it this season.
