Picked up an older Goldwing

[dconstruct55]

When Glen bought and posted about his new to him 2015 Goldwing, I expressed an interest in them and asked a few questions about ride quality and handling. So, thank you to Glen, Rob, Ron and John for your replies and insights. I purchased a good used 2002 Goldwing from an older gent in Apache Junction. 42k miles and very well maintained from what I can tell.

Well, you were all spot on, even though it is older, it is VERY nimble and easy to handle. I am certain that the newer ones ride like a dream, especially the ones that have the "wishbone" suspension upfront. But this one rides very well and I do not regret the purchase. I got the bike for $5,300 and feel good about it.

I am going to sell my 2006 Kawasaki Vulcan 2000 LT and keep my '99 Tourer that I store in Prescott for use when I am up at my cabin. Again, thank you all for the advice and guidance,

Dave

Sorry about the misspelling of your name in my post...

Enjoy!! Bring it to the NYD ride so we all can see it.

Congratulations on the new Wing  I still hope I can make the NYD ride.  Pretty cold and a little icy in the mornings up here.

Probably will not be riding for a little while, seems I caught some kind of bug that has really nailed me.
