I think the price is to high for a bike that has been dropped, even with the low mileage. Remember all the sitting can cause more damage than riding.
One thing about Goldwings, especially the 1500s, is that they have so much plastic to absorb the impact that unless it was a serious crash, there is not likely any frame damage. However you may still encounter bent or broken mounting brackets and other minor damage under the new plastic.
I have been looking at 1500s, and realize that it will take a whole lot of work on one even if it runs fine before I am going to go very far on it. The belts are the easy part. I would tear the whole rear end apart, inspect everything, lube everything, do the same with the steering head bearings, brakes, oil, coolant, remove and clean the carbs, the list is almost endless. It could easily take months if you have a full time job. And I have bought to many used bikes and cars that had a lot of small problems that would have become major if I had not found and fixed them right away.
