I missed a Hawk question my sensors must be off. I've been rubbernecking the Goldwing market over lockdown because it is absolutely bonkers. If you like to buy by the ton the GW market is your oyster. Finding some real gems in there: https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/622496061700785

It’s pretty nuts how cheap old goldwings go for (minus that one you posted) and how much bike you get (both in raw tonnage and features/reliability/rideability/etc) It’s very much a “beauty is in the eye of the beholder” thing and I can see why some people can’t get over the 1980’s parade float aesthetic, but if you can, there is a whole lot of bike to be had for not much money

If you're paying more than $1500-$2000 for a good, running, maintained 70's or 80's model it had better be a museum piece. There are more nice Wings right now than Sportsters.

1980's models are all over the MKE area facebook marketplace for $500-$800 in good condition, some down into the low 20K's for mileage

I'll probably never find that fairing anyway, and will have to focus on a nice aerodynamic helmet by winter instead. I hate goldwings but I'd absolutely ride that one, just not for that price. The wolves are a great design touch.

Politically and philosophically it's a mixed bag.

Speaking of Wings... https://denver.craigslist.org/mcy/d/arvada-2014-honda-valkyrie-new/7129693033.html - 2014 Honda Valkyrie, $7850 I really like the idea of a stripped down, modern Gold Wing. Is this as loving cool as it seems? Kinda wanna trade my FJ-09 for one, it's been problematic and I don't hoon on it anyways.

I would argue if you’re looking for a naked-ish muscle tourer it’s probably a good bet. Also, most people wouldn’t suspect it but the 6 cylinder Goldwings sound fabulous with an exhaust. Skip to 1:00 for the good stuff https://youtu.be/yaL605FYcvw They sound even better not revving in a garage. A friends dad had one (because dadbike) with an exhaust on it and it sounded like a mini Ferrari

Spotted a unicorn listed locally.  A Laverda OR 600 Atlas Listing in moon language, more pictures there https://www.finn.no/mc/all/ad.html?finnkode=179681955  One of about 450 made, built by Laverda after their consultancy period at bmw with helping developing their GS series was over.

Nice, and close, but I really like the shape of that other one. You may also be thinking of the Targa fairing which is similar and also NLA. Here's a slightly beat up one on ebay. They're fiberglass which is easy to repair: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Targa-Tsun...ItemCondition=4 e: This seems fun: https://www.ebay.com/itm/174301109510 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_qlxa-3MjbI @minute 1:30 for the goods.

https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/247024533241669/ There's another 883 for $1,200. I haven't been on face book long enough to know if these are normal, scams, or pandemic pricing. If it's real...I want a nice looking sportster for a grand.

Uhm I think you'll find in the book "the art of the Craigslist" that you can't get lowballed if you lowball yourself first. Sometimes you are only worth an old bass boat and a rusty hunting rig.

Most of the "listing on behalf of dealership" on Facebook are scams. It's basically "hacked" accounts, where grandma set her password as "nana1" and scam bots cracked that walnut in 9 seconds flat. Those accounts would be listing the same exact thing under a business name. If the account gets reclaimed, the scammers have thousands more waiting in the wings. Facebook does nothing about any of it, don't bother reporting.

I was going to say absolutely a scam, but I honestly don't know anymore. Also it looks like Craigslist has started charging $5 bux for motorcycle listings, so the outright scams seem to have dipped a lot. Apparently Facebook is the place for those now.

My local listings are inundated with posts from a dealer that's a 6 hour drive away, so your complaint stands for both sites.

How are the R3s? Never had any Yamahas. Ahhhh the last thing I need is a second bike, I don't know why I keep looking at them. Somebody else should buy it. It's just painful seeing a new, (probably) really fun bike sitting unused like that. Another one of those sub-300 mile cases, probably been sitting a while so would need some basic maintenance, so maybe that's not a great asking price anyway.  https://phoenix.craigslist.org/evl/mcy/d/tempe-2017-yamaha-r3-with-extra-low/7139699462.html e: and it's gone already, good, I won't be tempted. edited out the posting number so it's not living on the internet forever RightClickSaveAs fucked around with this message at 15:28 on Jun 12, 2020 |
