Please give me some advice . I have a chance to buy a 1987 interstate with 33000 miles on it for 4200.00 US dollars. The owner said he has replaced the stator and the bike looks like new. He did say he had trouble getting the bike to turn over until he purchased a new battery. I rode it and it seems fine, but I am new to goldwings.The raido etc does not work. there is a piece of something missing that covers where the windshield and faring meet. He said he replaced the windshield.
Now honestly should I buy this or a 2001 concours with 20000 K for the same money.I know the technology on both is mid 80's but there is a huge difference in the years. They both will tour and most if not all of my riding will be one up.
I know this is a goldwing site, but who better to ask about an older goldwing that you guys.
Thanks, Jim
