Faults:

Fuel gauge float. Unable to assess how much fuel (or driving distance) was available. After 100 km of riding, gauge was going to 0. Nuisance. Invested $25 in jerry can. Problem solved!

Only regular maintenance was required.

Oil change and new spark plugs at the time of purchase, then yearly

Rear gear oil, rear caliper seals and pads, front pads. Set of tires (front and rear).

Upholstery started to age as bike was stored outdoors.

Mine mileage: 38000km.

Cost of the upkeep: $650.

AVG: $0.017/km.

General Comments:

Ideal bike for long distance travel, especially if fitted with backrest and highway pegs. Fuel consumption: 6.8 L/100km, or 35 MPG. It is a heavy bike, therefore driving in big city traffic (street car tracks!), tight corners and parking lots require more attention. However, on the open spaces, rural roads and highways, riding is most relaxing. Either the wind or the draft while passing transport trucks is compensated by the vehicle's weight. I frequently took one day, around 800 km delivery trips and did not feel tired. And I am 60. Lights are excellent. Reverse gear for vehicle of this weight is a real life saver when parked in tight spots (malls). Being shaft driven, there is no need for chain lubrication (a hassle for the bike of substantial weight).

Other than the normal maintenance that is required on all bikes, I am pleased to say nothing has gone wrong with it. Certain brands of cycles are, or I should say, there will be a guaranteed amount of extra maintenance, but from my friends' experience, the Goldwing is one of the lowest maintenance bikes out there...

General Comments:

All I can say is TOTALLY AWESOME! Even at 25 years old, she looks and handles just as if she came off the assembly line yesterday. I weigh 174 pounds and I am in average physical condition, and I have absolutely no issues on handling or controlling this bike; oh and if you love cruising around S curves, this bike just loves them; I run the Dunlop E3s front and rear. It's smooth... period!

Fuel economy is great, for a 810 pound bike and with 350 pounds (my wife and I) on the bike, we average from 33 to 37 MPG. I honestly don't see going back to anything else. Thanks Honda...

Faults:

Because of the age, the only things that are breaking down are the rubber parts of the motorcycle, like the grommets and the radiator hoses. Can't complain, as the motorcycle is well over 22 years old, and still starts and rides like a dream.

General Comments:

It's a bit hard to get used to the heavy weight at slow speeds, but it's still manageable.

Faults:

Make sure you replace the grommets on the battery covers; they will blow off due to wearing after a couple of years. The covers cost $225.00 as opposed to spending $5 or $10 dollars now. I guess you would call them grommets. They hold the plate or so called dust covers on. Peace out.

Faults:
