1975 Goldwing Gl1000

[2KVALKRIDER]

Wanted to throw something pass you all.... what would a 1975 Goldwing GL 1000 go for these days as far as prices. The motorcycle has not seen the road since 1998, and has other parts available.  Is this a piece of junk or good for parts or ????? Any info would be of great help. Thanks.

First year isn't it. So I would say yes it has value if it is in decent shape. If all parts are there and so forth it not running to me would be secondary it can be revived.
Now if it has been wrecked or is rusted out then you just have parts.
As far as value I have no clue,again it depends on condition.
This is only one mans opinion , now back to your regularly scheduled program.

Any cycle that has been sitting for years is a project and can't be compared to a bike that's been kept up and running in value. With projects you're only buying the rights to fix it up. Most times you'll spend all they are worth to repair it and then some. But don't let that stop you if that's what you want, Lord knows I'm guilty.

Go to the Naked Gold Wing Club site for your info. It's as full of advice and sources for the older Wings as our site is for the Valkyrie. And like our site, doesn't cost to join. Once you put your name in the mix, you can go to the Forum and ask whatever.

I have owned 4 of the 1srt series Goldwings, still have a 77.

That bike has been sitting a long time, 16 years will mess those carbs up for sure unless they were drained of ALL gasoline in anticipation of the storage. The older wing carbs are much worse than the Valk carbs when it comes to easily blocking and becoming a problem. Other than the carbs, they are straight forward machines, easy to work on and find (used) parts. 

I am not a carb guy, and have never had good luck rebuilding bike carbs (no patience) so I would have to have someone else do the carb work. There are professionals that specialize in the 1st series wing carbs, and they get upwards of $600 to re-do them, IF THEY CAN BE DONE, some of them get so bad they will not rebuild.

To answer your question, I sold a very nice 76 wing that ran great and needed nothing about 2 years ago for $2,200.  The one I have right now has not run in about 8-10 years so it in in the same condition as the one you are looking at. If I was to sell it, I would advertise it for $700 - $800, expecting to get about $500 for it.
