I am looking at buying a 1997 white coloured Goldwing SE. Does anybody have any comments about this particular year. I looked at the bike this morning and it shows well. It has 40000kms. and has always been maintained by the dealer. I would appreciate any input. thanks Tom

exavid, my current wing is an 1980 Goldwing 1100 interstate. I have been having all kinds of problems this year, but I have most of them solved. My bike is currently in the shop being tuned (carbs). I cleaned them myself but could not get it to stop backfiring. I also had a small leak. However my son is interested in my 1980 so I will pass it down to him.

wingdawg101 & exavid, thanks for the replies. I thought I would let you know that I just purchased a 1999 Goldwing SE, anniversary model that looks like it just came out of the box. It has only 17000 Km. on it and the gentleman I bought it from is a real fuss pot. I can hardly wait to pick it up tomorrow or Thurs. I hope it runs as well as it looks. Have a nice weekend. Tom

The bike is white with grey/green on the panels. I am truly excited, but you know what! I rode my 1980 GL1100 home from the shop last night and it has never ran better. I suppose my son whom I will pass it on to will be smiling. Thanks for the replies. Tom

Fellows, I can't believe this new machine. I drove into Toronto to work today and turned around and went to Niagara Falls. Thats what you call a mental health day. Tomorrow is a national holiday here in Canada so my wife and I are riding 260 miles to the cottage. I CAN'T wait till morning. I hope everyone has a great weekend and ride safely. I also hope you guys out there keep posting because it is so enjoyable reading all this stuff. Tom
