Trade 4 Goldwing ? 1 Year, 1 Month ago  
Wow how weird is this, My Paypal payment was sent to the wrong
address so I'm in Limbo for my seat. Today an older guy I hadn't
seen in 2 yrs rolls in and says he is selling his 88 Golwing. Says
I had told him to give me 1st shot. Told him I didn't have cash, only
way anything could happen is if I wanted to trade. Figured he would
say no, but he told me to bring my bike by. Now what ? Always wanted
a Wing but not sure I want to get rid of my Roadie.
My bike books for $4915 his $4490. Nice shape only
32,000 miles on the wing, but D**m that thing looks like an electrical
nightmare.

My personal opinion is I would pass. You have a really sharp Road* and that is a little old for my liking. 32k means that it has done it's share and sitting as well. I like Goldwings as well but I think I would want a much later model and wouldn't trade my Roadie.

Me and the wife just discussed the whole Goldwing + - issue.
I CAN'T DO IT !!!! Love my Roadie to much.
Whew ! Dodged a bullet, now I gotta call the guy and bail out.
Thank you for saving me in a moment of weakness.

There is a new member here on the RSC "Fooyu" he is from Green Bay and I've met with him. He used to have a Goldwing and now has a Roadstar. He normally rides solo and the Goldwing will toss you around if only solo, it's made to carry more of a load. BTW, he really likes his Roadstar!

Where in the world did you come up with that? Solo or two up... a 'Wing is a very, very, nice motorcycle and really fun to ride. Very responsive and easy to handle.

Having said that, I would not trade your nice Roady for an '88 model Wing... especially with only 35K on it. For one thing, it's too old, and like someone else mentioned - it's been doing a lot of setting.
