Side cases mounted. Or a Goldwing maybe?
I must confess I have an increasing desire to have an FJR.

once a year or so when I check the local guzzi dealer's website I'm always briefly surprised at how little those bikes cost, and then I immediately remember why

unrelated, but they have a used R1200C on the floor (the BMW cruiser from the Bond movie "Tomorrow Never Dies") and I'd be hard pressed to think of a more "dad" dad bike

There is an R1200C in my neighborhood and it is hideous and I saw an R18 the other day which is also hideous so I guess I am saying the only good looking BMW is the S1000RR but the prior wingless generation and wings are definitely dad bike so :rip: this thread

the R1200ST has them all beat though IMO

Best idea.

I got my first wing for $100. Yes it needed work, but I flipped it for 10x that and had a year and a half of good riding with it.

here's what I know - the owner bought it and fixed it up, it's "about 20 years old" (this makes me think its more like 40 years old), have no idea how long it's been sitting, or why it needed fixing, or anything else really

"20 years old" - that's post 2000. I would get it

The only cheap GWings I see around here are from the early 80's and they look accordingly

A 20 year old goldwing will be a fuel injected flat 6 and worth significantly more than free

a 20 year old goldwing sitting for 20 years will start with a fresh battery and maybe some fresh gas.

Bets are off for a 40 year old wing sitting for 20. The worst is probably the 4 rube goldberg carbs strewn about the apartment. There's an undercurrent of perverts that retrofit aircooled vw carbs.


That said, I'd take a free wing.

It’s probably one of those situations where the PO knows it’s been sitting since 89 but also still thinks that was 20 years ago
