I'm getting ready to move up from a shadow (my wife hated the back seat) to a Gold wing.
My problem is choosing between a 83 (1100)with only 45,000 and a maintenance history, but it has been sitting for two year (project).
Or an 85 Unkown mileage with a rebuild engine and Tranny (new Stator) two year ago, currently on the road, but very much a basket case cosmetically.
I am leaning towards the 83 Because I know with a little work I can have a really nice bike. But because of money and the time to bring it back to life it will most likely be fall or next spring before I can ride.
With the 85 I can get on the road right away, but man it sure is ugly.
Help
Thanks
