I'm a new member. I'm looking at buying a 1984 Wing, 1200 c.c. A friend says the 1200 is probably the worst built GoldWing. Can anyone comment on that for me? It's in great shape - 77,000 km (48,000 miles). Has a trailer also. Can anyone comment on the 1200 Wing form a mechanical point of view? thanks.

Welcome to the best Goldwing forum around. My situation was somewhat like yours...I had a '95 Kaw 1500cc Vulcan that was a great bike, but not that comfortable with a passenger on longer trips. I started looking/checking on Goldwings that I could afford. Found a nice '84 Aspencade that was in very good condition. Bought it around Memorial Day this year and have not regretted it one bit.Sold the Vulcan and basically did an even trade from the Vulcan to the Wing. The Wing is a great bike and the stator wires were already soldered. All I have done to it is put in an in-line main fuse and voltmeter (other than oil change etc.). The wife sure likes the comfort of the Wing, as do I. I ride it in town to take care of business as much as I can and I am very surprised that this big bike is easy to ride in any situation. Anyway, I think that you will really enjoy a nice Goldwing...

Take care...shydog
