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.

Hi,

I've had my '85 Aspencade for 2 years now, and it's never failed to run.

A couple times, once last year and once this year, It acted like it the petcock was shut off. Both times I cranked on more throttle. Then all of a sudden, it got fuel, talk about acceleration !! :shock:

I changed the fuel filter, checked the gas cap. Haven't had the problem in 3,000 miles.

I also keep an eye on the solenoid -battery connections. I would ride it anywhere.
