    OOOOOMMMMMGGGGG!! What a nice condition. I really wanted to hear her running. I own 2020 GW DCT Tour. The best ever machine I have had in 32 years of riding. Be aware of leaks as you start riding. The lower the miles on her, the worse it could get. Your bike condition is rare, my friend.

    Wow, what a beaut. I thought I got lucky(I did actually) when I bought my 85ltd 8 mos ago. It had been stored since 2013, but not as nice as yours. It was custom built with all the available stock options. Congrats to you.

    Box lids and side panels? Tie them on with elastic shock cord. So many people lose those and they cost big to replace - especially left side side panel.

    What a beauty congrats. Still has plenty of life left. I have a 21 Goldwing and I’m excited to see it age after seeing this beauty ride safe!

      Thanks! As stated in the video, it will be my grocery getter and I'll switch between this and my Electra Glide.

      Appreciate the good comment. I've had a blast on it over the last week (when it's not raining). It's quieter than my Jeep LOL.

    Harley guy here too. I picked up an 85 aspencade SEI for 2k. As clean as yours. It rides like a dream. It is insane the options it has on it for the year. I love mine. You will ride it more than the Harley lol. Enjoy and good luck 👍🏼😎

      To be clear, the "SEi" was a 1986 model year in Pearl White. The 1985 was the "Limited Edition" and was a gold color. Both machines were Multi Port Fuel Injected and the only two that were injected at a time when all other Goldwing's were still carbureted.

      @@bubba6richards729 OK then, if your machine is the Two Tone Gold then it is a 1985 "Limited Edition". If it is the Pearl Splendor Ivory (off white pearl) color then it is a "Special Edition" (aka SEi).
      Someone probably just added the additional badges just to confuse things...lol
      I know and love these machines as I am a 1986 SEi owner!
