I have had a few light bulbs that have needed replacing.
Other than the normal recommended servicing requirements, I haven't had to spend a dime. It's been 100% perfect.
If you're looking for a reliable, smooth, powerful and comfortable bike, look no further than the GL1500.
It's a little hard to handle in parking lots until you get used to it, but out on the highway there's nothing that comes close to these machines. Great weather protection, a fantastic seat, good sound system, and know matter how you ride, you'll always know that the Gold Wing will get you home again.
I can't say enough good things about these bikes. Buy one, you'll be glad you did.
Most people only notice two things on the road.
A Rolls-Royce and a Goldwing!!!
I was a little crazy when I bought my 88, the first year of the 1500. I was used to sport bikes, my last bike being a Kawi Concourse, but for an 810 pound dry weight bike, I was able to sling it through corners I wouldn't have believed a bike this big would take. I always told friends, rides like a Caddy and handles like a Ferrari.
Killer fuel economy, 28+mpg, driving it very hard, and when it fell over from hot asphalt melting at a friend's house, I never could find a scratch. I don't know how that is, but I crawled underneath and had friends look underneath, and we never found a darn scratch. I'm looking for another one.
I've owned two 1500s...a 1988 and the one I have now, a 1999. Great machines! I found the fit and finish on the 88 a little better than the 99. Never have had any problems beyond normal wear and tear. Now, if I could only talk my wife into stepping up to an 1800...
Extremely reliable and comfortable.
