Any wing would be a good start althought the 1800's handling is unbelievable. And by the way;

In my opinion you can't go wrong. Depends on what you like. I had an 85 1200 and now I have a 96 1500. Both are great bikes. The 1500 is definately a bigger bike. But it handles every bit as well. It doesn't get quite as good a gas mileage, but it is more comfortable. The term "Road Sofa" is only partly true. It is very comfortable bit it is still all motorcycle. I ride mine peg to peg in the twisties.
These bikes last incredibly well, and you can get good service life out of any of the older goldwings. But age does affect us all, even the goldwings, so I would suggest to get the newest year that your budget allows.

Oh yeah, mileage isn't a big deal. These bikes are good for 200,000 miles easy and then some. I saw a wing for sale on e-bay once with 500,000, that's right a half a million miles. And the guy advertising it was really proud of that.

I had 155,000 on my 1200 and I sold it running great. The current owner is still riding it regular.

But in real life people still don't like the high mileage, so the prices may come down pretty sharply at 100,000.
