![mgk - I Think I’m OKAY (with YUNGBLUD) (Sad Version) [Official Music Video]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/7AC1uqQLIg4/mqdefault.jpg)
The biggest issue I see with buying bikes is the test ride. Sellers are hesitant to let you ride the bike and as a buyer I won't buy without riding the bike. I find the best way to make the seller more comfortable is to show up on my current bike so they know at least I can ride.
I always get their License and Wallet..check the photo id and hold it all until they return.
I bring cash in hand for them to hold while I test drive
@@MelodyMan69lol what if they get pulled over and you have their ID
@@oSnapMillerTime
If their driving in a manner to be pulled over, its on them.
If you don't ride in on a bike, you're not test riding mine. Sure, anything can happen, with any one, it did for me. Some individual took my '90 up the road, dumped it turning around, left it laying in the road and walked back. Uh
Bought and sold about 20 motos. Had a bad experience with a 02' GW in Illinois. Exterior and plastic was pristine, had some nice accessories, price was right. Ran fine around the block, all the gears, and brakes were great. On the way home, got it up on the hwy and opened it up- coughing and stuttering. Got it home and started getting into it. Tank was full of rust! Fuel filter was clogged, solid.
Private seller would not talk on the phone, and wouldn't answer his door. He knew he was scamming.
Also a bad dude, because he had 3 other motos in his garage (BMW's). I sent an email to his BMW riding club, calling him a scammer, and fixed the tank with electrolysis. Took a week.
Well I always told myself I’d never buy a Goldwing until I’m over 60. So last month I turned 66, retired then hit a turkey with my ST1300. Japan being hard hit by the pandemic was 3 months out in supplying me with all the $4,000 plastic parts the dealer and the insurance company said I needed to make my beloved ST whole again. Frustrated and with some 401K cash I didn’t really need in my pocket I traded my wounded ST in for a new 2021 non tour lowly 6 speed grey and black, dare I say it , Goldwing.
I’m officially old.
3000 miles later I feel young again. Especially in sport mode. This is not grandpa’s Goldwing.
Even better I found you. This super high tech chunk of plastic, wires and even some steel suddenly doesn’t seem so intimidating. Thanks so much. I’ll be purchasing your videos soon. :)!
im 36 and ride a goldwing. theyre just awesome
I’m 39 and looking to buy one now…I’ve wanted once since I was a youngster in the 1990s. I absolutely love these machines!
This is a man that only speaks the facts in a good, friendly manner... If I was in the market for a goldwing I'd be checking out his video maintenance videos... You'll surely save more than the videos would cost to buy...
Hi, Great videos....one note on tires that I always tell people to pay attention to is when they were made. They might look brand new and only have 100 miles on them, but if they are 7 years old....they should be changed. All tires are stamped with the week and year that they were made. Rubber is one area you should never go cheap, and is often overlooked. You don't want to have an accident due to saving a few hundred dollars.
Patrick, Bloomington IL...
Good point
Yes and no. If they were mounted, and in the elements - they will not be up to par. If, however, they have been warehoused, stored in cool place without direct sun - they will last
Goldwings are not without fault though, maintenance/labor costs are high on these bikes, stay away from bikes that sit a lot. yeah a low mile barn find is great, but should carbs ever need to come off, its labor intensive. some Goldwings have had cracked frame recalls, their fix? pull exhaust off and they lay the bike on the side and have a certified welder weld the frames. stay away from those. im a motorcycle/powersports tech with 30+ years experience
Thank you for the valuable information ℹ️
You or very wise 🦉
Love from DeKalb Mississippi USA 🇺🇲
Excellent vid, am in the market for my first wing and these tips apply to UK as much as USA, thanks for updating the original vid.
I learned a lot of good information for shopping for my first Goldwing this year. Thanks for the great information.
Just boughtl an 84 Interstate 45000 miles $2400.00 delivered to my door from 2.5 hrs away with a trailer. Guy was very nice. Bike came with new tires, new battery and new windshield. I'm a happy camper. Bought it sight unseen. Thinking I'll be replacing the timing belts soon. Gauges are not faded, paint is shiny wine red. All lights are clear and in good working order. Front shocks felt a little stiff on track level 3 so I set them to 1 and rides like a dream. There are a few scratches bit hey, it's a survivor. Chrome looks good. The rubber on the left front peg slipped off somewhere when I was riding it so ai have one coming from ebay along with a used seat because this one had a small tear. It starts as quick as the bike in the video. All fluids were changed. I bought it for something to ride while I'm changing rhe clutch out on my 2000 BMW K1200 LT. The bike does not have a radio but I use my helmet Bluetooth to play Spotify from my phone. I'll need to put a charge receptacle somewhere.
He said.he was selling to cover a vet operation bill for his dog. I passed up Yamaha VMax $4000 and a Honda V65 Magna $3000 for this bike. Just seemed like the best bang for the buck. Also had a front seat back rest. I've been polishing up the aluminum with some blue magic bit my favorite would be jeweler's roush...don't know how you spell. All my repair videos are free on RUclips. I just Google them and they are free to watch. No need to give money yo some guy trying to make a profit off people that need help.
Great Video! Very helpful content. Straight forward. I've watched a couple other of your videos on You Tube and they were great too. You are a resourceful, honest, and good man
Thank you so much for your invaluable information, highly appreciate it, keep it up the outstanding job, have a great day.
Hey man I just wanna say I appreciate your help on this topic you're very clear on instructions right to the point and your knowledge helped me purched my very first GOLDWING GL1800 2004
By watching your videos it gave me alot of helpful info on purchasing my used Goldwing....much appreciated!
Never thought I would Appreciate motorcycle tips from Trey Gowdy ..Thank you sir ,I’m a fan
Excellent video!
I gained a lot of knowledge and insight on buying a used Gold Wing.
Thank you!
Buying my first goldwing this Friday. 2005 Anni for 4200. Super excited and it looks new!
Ride safe!
Great video. Clear, concise and informative
I learned a lot. Thank You.
What a great video!! Thank you!
I like all your videos. Very good and complete information!
I am looking to move on a 1999 GL1500sr with 75,000 miles for $3250. Pictures look great. Owner claims to be second owner, and both have kept up all maintanance and kept garaged. Looks clean as a whistle. I will be using this video knowledge for my inspection. Thanks. It's two-tone cherry red and seemingly a loaded Touring package. Mileage aside, I see KBB says between $6-8K. Dealer bikes of similar mileage and age come in around $5K. Wish me luck, because I've wanted a Goldwing since the late 80's. My riding lineage.... mini-bike, Honda 125, Yamaha 400 Special II, Honda 700, Honda 750 four, 1988 HD Sporster 1200, Kawasaki Vulcan 1500, 1991 HD Sporster 1200 stroked and hopefully next , the Goldwing.
Hey! How is it going with the wing!?
Thanks for the info.
nice job good content well defined thanks
My algorithm is spot on. I've been thinking about finally buying my first Goldwing. And told a friend I'm in the market for a used 2018 or newer gold wing. Next time on RUclips the first recommended video was this one. A comprehensive in depth video it was. I think I found my own personal Goldwing guru.
I buy a lot of goldwings all used some wrecked. The best deals are salvage bikes if you know what to look for. If you don't then the I would offer the following. Look over the bike, if it's clean and relatively scratch free you know it's probably been garaged and maintained. Start the bike and let it warm up at idle listen for any chatter which may indicate a problem with the alternator drive. Take it for a ride and verify it stays in high gear. Other than that there is not too much to check. If the owner installed a bunch of useless items like belly pans or fork brace those sell good on eBay even though they serve no actual purpose. In general if it looks good and sounds good it's going to be fine. I can say this for any wing with 100k or less but would not say this for many other brands
Great content! I watched the whole thing and I don't even have a GW!😂 (I do have 2 GS adventures and most of your content is great advice for any motorcycle)
Good stuff. Thanks!
excellent conversation
Excellent information. Harley owner here and looking for a GW. Great help and will check out your other videos. I might add when contacting the owner of the bike one is interested in tell him to not start and warm up the bike. This way you can see a cold start.
Excellent content again Cruise. Always strive to meet at the sellers home. Agreed!
That's a great great Video. Thank you very much 💪🏻🙌🏻
Some Awesome Info!
I’ve bought two salvage bikes. Zero issues other than cosmetic and those things I fixed. It’s not for everyone and if I had deep pockets I wouldn’t have.
Excellent video, sir.
Cruiseman, I recently purchased a used 2018 Goldwing Tour. Your channel has helped me learn the controls of the bike better than the guy I bought it from. No joke. I’ve always wanted a Goldwing and before I purchased mine I stumbled upon your RUclips channel and watched several videos to help me prepare for the purchase. One of my favorites is the 20 essential things every Goldwing Owner should know. That video is very beneficial. Thank you. I also learned how to sync my phone to my GW by watching your step by step video. That was wonderfully executed step by step instructions. If I am ever in the Denton area, “I actually work for the company that built the giant power station in Denton and travel there often” it would be awesome to meet you in person and have a coffee at your favorite shop. My treat. Thanks again for the great GW tips. Ride hard and trust your tires. 😁 Thank you sir.
Congrats on the new Wing!
@@cruisemansgarage I've been riding since 1971 and have owned about 50 bikes of all makes/models like you. I bought a 30th anniversary edition new when I went into the shop to get some oil for another bike I had. Life got in the way over the years and it now has a whopping 9,680 miles on it. I changed the oil every riding season and just put a fresh battery and Dunlop 4s on it. Fresh fork oil/seals 2 years ago and all the other fluids as well. It will go on the market soon and someone will be getting an almost new, blue color Gen 5 Wing that looks showroom! I am about to buy a very lightly used 2018 from an 80 year old gent who has to stop riding due to health issues. I just watched your 20 tips video. These things sure are complicated now. After seeing this video about the warranty I will get the extended warranty from Honda if possible. If it's out of time as it's Oct 2021 when I get it I may pass on it and look for a 19/20 model since they are newer releases and I can get the extension. Thanks for the good videos.
Great video
Yes I see your point. If you can’t (the purchaser) have a friend who knows something about G.L.’s to look things over so you both “buyers” with cash can talk about it it sort of makes the deal better in final negotiations of a better price. 2against 1 works best especially if the buyer drives a old wreck car to a private party house or garage. Dress down and drive moms car if you have too.
Plus your going to need to ride it back once you get there. Or you can resort to delivary via tow truck,transpo, or Uber? No doubt unless you know this type of bike I would test ride it first before making a deal. It’s big and heavy but on the highway they are a dream.
Now that video seems to speak honesty. Thanks!
One of the best videos I have watched...excellent
Need to check the spark plugs and replace them too they can help you be more confident on the purchase on your new/ used goldwing
Good afternoon from Southeastern NC, the wife and I are seriously considering purchasing a used Goldwing Trike, have been researching this particular bike very intensely for a couple of weeks, came across your channel in my research, I found your insight very valuable and am about to use your advice on a potential purchase on a 2001 Goldwing Trike from a Dealership in Russellville Arkansas, BTW have subscribed as well, appreciate the expertise, GOD BLESS
Chris. thanks for your work on this subject. I just purchased a 2018 Saturday. I appreciate all of your information. thanks again. dale
You will love the new bike!
@@cruisemansgarage thanks. I enjoy your videos. How do you make your turn signal lights make the rapid flash? thanks, dale
I bought a used Honda Goldwing motorcycle 🏍️ and I was very happy with the advice given by Cruiseman. I have learned a lot more about Honda Goldwing just by watching his videos.
❤
Very informative
Great information
Glad you liked it
LUV cruiseman's point on private seller- an advantage to know the owner, maybe his behavior on maintence/riding habits? well.......when u go2 the sellers house and you see teh lawn has weeds and never cut.....well then....run!
I really enjoy your video's. You're very thorough, giving people the knowledge and confidence to take on any fundamental projects. Thank you for taking the time to make these video's.
Hey Cruiseman! Enjoyed your expertise! I've got a 2001 GL1800 with 115,000 runs great! Kelly Blue Book value is $6500. I would let it go for 4000! Also have an 89 GL1500 Leahman Trike! My favorite toy!
Great video, super informative
Thank you Cruise Man
My buddy purchased one touring bike from a private seller, the bike seemed like it was well.taken care of (bike seemed in great condition ,lots of upgrades, garage kept, covered ,knowledgeable seller ect ect ect...) after purchase first thing we did was basicly break down the bike to just check everything, thats when i realized the seller had no clue what he was doing and had a rats nest of wires everyplace... i took out about 5 -7 lbs of just unnecessary wiring had to re wire almost everything including gps wiring,..in the end its always a crap shot.
You had me with the "I have maintenance videos" =)
Thought your video was very very informative…. And should l buy another Goldwing in the near future l will watch again… and purchase your online videos….. thanks a million….. Payo….. Australia
From my observations, GW riders are less likely to abuse their bikes, like many V-twin or sportbike riders. I've heard Jerry Paladino say that GW's with the DCT are more difficult to control during slow speed maneuvers, so I'm going to make sure I buy one with a standard clutch transmission, even if it means having to buy one from 2017 or earlier. Great video, Cruiseman!
I go with private owners with a clear title in hand and i make them go to the DMV with me to get it transfered so there won't be any issues, here in S.W. Florida i have been to dealerships that will not negotiate at all, the price is the price period, they will let you walk over $5.00 and im not kidding, if it's a older bike i also check for parts availability before i even go look at the bike, thanks for the great video 🏍🏆👍
excellent video Cruiseman .....JB
Awesome video for used motorcycle buyers!
Thank you. I am getting ready to fly out of Tulsa ok to Tampa Fl to by a Goldwing and will be driving it back 1400 miles.. I will be buying vids.
Thanks again
Good luck with the purchase and ride safe!
hi what are your thoughs on the gls from 1979 to 85 before the had the plastics added, thanks
Great information, I am going to look at my first Goldwing tomorrow. May step up from a Harley Softail to a 2000 Goldwing.
Did you buy the goldwing?
@@clubmike2910 Yes I did, so far I really enjoy it. Ive been riding it to work 90 miles round trip and its great on the interstate.
Just looking to purchase a Goldwing. I have been riding a Honda PC800 for 23 years and finally thought of a change. Moved from UK to the E.U and want somthing for the country to country touring...life style really This video is fantastic.. god bless you and keep you safe.❤ PS posted a question on a European forum...everybody was saying.."watch this Mans videos"...
Good luck on your purchase. Let me know what you end up with. Ride safe.
you covered pretty much everything to check for while inspecting a Goldwing you might be interested in buying, l would also had a test drive to make sure no surprises
This is such a great video. Thank you for all the info. Cruiseman, do you have any reservations to buying an older used Goldwing? Often I’ll see 2001 - 2010 with low miles, selling for prices that are affordable to me. Is there anything to be worried about in purchasing a Goldwing that old?
He thanks the viewer at the end for watching, and staying through such a long video. Thats when I looked down, and noticed it was a 25 min video! Seemed like a lot less than that!
Do you have a printable buyers checklist we could download?
Recently replaced my windshield with a new Clearview windshield. Your video about changing a windshield really helped me. You know just how difficult changing a windshield is on a 2016 wing. Thanks a lot.
I have heard good things about Clearview.
@@cruisemansgarage I'm thinking of grabbing a 2002 with 107k miles. $5500. Is that a lot of miles for a Wing? He says it still runs great, gonna go test ride it tomorrow. Great videos sir!
@@dougi1967 Did you buy it?
@@gohjohan nope I went with a Yamaha FJR1300. Very happy.
@@dougi1967 I was thinking of that too. Either the Goldwing, BMW R1200GS / RT /RS or the FJR, in that order. I'm currently riding the Honda VTX1300S(R) but I want a touring bike that's EFi.
hi Cruiseman... which year model is the goldwing standing behind you ? Iam confused between BMW GTL1600 vs Gold Wing. Kindly help.
Good video Cruise man question about warranty for a 2001-2008 is possible to have warranty or get the warranty for those years
Not a Honda warranty. The last one would have expired in 2015
Good video, much appreciated. Two advantages were missed so far as buying from a dealer ... if you have a bike to trade in the dealer can spare you from the hassle of having strangers coming to your house to look at your 'old' bike, and secondly, in states that charge sales tax on private sales (which I think is most or all) the dealer will only charge you tax on the difference between the value of your 'trade in' bike and the selling price of the new bike. This could be a BIG savings and helps mitigate the higher price the dealer may be charging, especially if your 'old bike' is of high value.
Dealers need to make money on the old bike too, they spare the hassle of selling the old motorcycle privately but in most scenarios you'll be far ahead selling your bike privately. The trade in price will fit sure cover repairs they need to make and prep, profit and transaction costs plus adjustments for how desirable or undesirable the model is. A larger dealer will need to make a minimum of $2,500 on a trade to cover all that. The only way they will eat that difference or more is it you pay more on the newer bike (ether in cost or hidden fees), buy lots of accessories or end up in a loan that is unfavorable.
Dealers are garbage. I bought a 2019 Kawasaki W800 from a dealer here in Tucson. The list price was $5,700. After all of their add ons that I couldn’t remove from the invoice the total ended up being $10,600. I worked a ton of OT and paid it off in 2 months, then received a refund for GAP insurance for $687. I will never buy from a dealer again.
plastic and rubber oxidation and polimerize sometimes internally it looks fine until you put pressure on it!
The sun can cause damage to plastics. BUT garages can get very hot inside if not ventilated. Not to mention if the bike isn't a daily rider that takes the user to work and left outside on 5 to 12 hour shifts in the weather thru out the weeks.. love your videos and glad you made your channel
great point!
❤
hmm, i was more hoping for problems with the bike its self to look for. Mostly the 5th gen.
Buttons, buttons, buttons! Even the dealer says the buttons sticking, not working is the main common problem. I picked up a 2005 with 9500 miles. The hazard flasher button stuck on and I couldn't get it to turn off. Load leveler button stuck. I think the issue is once you set up your radio station, load level etc you don't use the buttons again.

Hi -
I have a 2009 GOLD WING GL1800 Audio Comfort Navi XM, that has been sitting (garaged) for a few years. I just installed a brand new battery. I went to start it. There is plenty of juice, it turns over great, it just does not start.
Any suggestions?
When I bought my videos... the promo code didn't seem to work... but well worth they were... also recommend the book from Wingstuff... somebody stopped me and told me recently to go to a shop and have the bulb changed... he was driving a 04 and it happens alot... so he said... I informed the surprised rider that I do it myself... I referred him to Cruiseman... and the book... with a 1300 USD tag for the 36000 mile inspection who would not consider to take tools to that thing... lol
My first motorcycle was an used motorcycle, I fixed an electrical problem, oil leak from valves cover, starter, fuel pump, brakes, all oils, clutch, starter clutch, carburetor, ... It was not a bad motorcycle, compression 150 on each cylinder but I think the last mechanic was a little sloppy. For exemple, I had helical spring and old seal for the valves covers, this oil leaking make smoke on my exhaust. My carburetors was not at its right place so it was impossible to have a good idle. I had to order parts for my brake system and my starter clutch, it was not present. I am not a mechanic but I can fix an engine. The biggest problem with used motorcycle, I need to add money so I can think about the cost of the same used motorcycle. This is a good deal if I compare it with the monthly payment of a new motorcycle.
y would i buy a price honda extended warranty when the power train is bullet proof, the forks /or arm is a wearable with alot of the other parts, what else can possibly go wrong that the warranty wld cover down the line? thanks, great vid! wish he did this for other generations like 13-16s F6Bs.....to talk abot issues there....
My Grampa is the original owner of my 1985 Aspencade with 40k miles on it in mint condition
You sir have my attention
Any tips for buying from an out of state owner?
Where can I find someone to work on my 1999 golwing trike
I disagree about the maintenance being more likely to have been done on a Wing. People sell old Wings, and I mean OLD, and they've never replaced the timing belts just because the mileage is low. We're talking $30 in parts for the belts, and they may be 35 years old. 35-year old rubber is old rubber, just like an old tire. People tend to think a Wing never needs maintenance, and they've already spent a ton of money and don't want to keep them up.
Excuse me interrupting you at the fifteen minute mark but you mentioned highway pegs! How do you fit them with all that engine?? I would have thought them impossible and me being 6foot 5 inches they are a necessity . Thanks for all work too sir.
Crash bars. I was looking at a 2010 that has engine guard and the highway pegs already there.
Could u help me find a used one I've owned two an I've grew up on them an around them so p!ease help sir I just sold my slingshot to get another one cause I have MS an need a decent trike thanks for ur time sir!
I bought an 04 in 05 I still ride it in 22. Didnt buy it to sell, bought it to ride.
I want to buy a used goldwing because i prefer it to the new one. The new 2018 update made the bike less touring capable so ill save myself $20,000 and get myself a 5th gen goldwing.
Maybey u can help mev1500 wing no spark were do I go
get a test light and start checking connections. start at the coil wiring harness
Oddly Nada Giudes and Kelly Blue Book do not take mileage on a motorcycle into account when calculating a bikes used value. After market items has no consideration on a motorcycles value even if the seller wants to think it does.
I think the cosmetics of the bike are a good indicator of the overall mechanical condition. I doubt that a wing with faded or scratched paint is as mechanically sound as a pristine motorcycle.
Does the touring goldwing look like the f6b when u take the pack off and does the f6b look like the touring with it on?
They look similar, but there are still a few differences.
Dropped the keys under the left handle bars and can't find them
Used meaning, sold privately correct. If I buy used from a dealer they will always tack and additional 2-3k onto their purchasing price....the mark up.
Great video. Tried to use the promo code as mentioned but it does not work. Is there a new code?
Thanks. There was a glitch in the code. Try USEDGW again, should be working now.
I don't know if you've covered this issue in any of your videos but I would appreciate any help. My issue with Honda Goldwing is (besides wanting one SO BADLY that my teeth hurt) that I'm 6' 1". That's not the problem though, I have a prothesis (hip) and it makes it difficult to lift my foot to step on the brake when one's knees are bent at the angle Honda has a tall person enduring. I know there are kits to move the foot controls forward, however the engine on Honda is so wide that I don't know if that's possible, or if it's been made. I guess I'm rambling (unlike yourself) and I just need to know if you're aware of such a kit, or any suggestions, I would appreciate it.
I have a 1983 Gold wing all way in garage 60023 mille is runing in good condition I need to sale
I ride an older HD and have no plans to trade it in for a new/used motorcycle (of any brand) anytime soon but your video was so informative and well put together that I watched the whole thing. Awesome video!
Wow. Thanks Grady. What model HD do you ride?
@@cruisemansgarage I ride a 2000 Road King FLHR with the 88ci motor. This was probably the last year b4 they were all fuel injected. I bought it in 2015 and found a good local mechanic...The newer bikes (many brands) look great and probably are better in every way, but my budget won't allow it. :-)
Dear Cruiseman.....I bought 2018 dct aut of official dealer in Slovenija
They made servis change tyres breaking pads and most important gave me 1 year garantio Honda.
I think I made an good deal

I bought another GL1800 goldwing back in February from a Honda dealer, I seldom buy from a dealer because of the reasons mentioned here however this was a really nice GW priced right about retail. It is very clean with new tires and a few extras like CB radio, rear wing and some Crappyakin chrome parts.
First thing i did was change all the fluids and I do mean all! (except the fork oil). I would like to think the previous owner changed the air cleaner but I don't know so I will be changing it very soon too.I change d all the bulbs to led's except the low beam which are 55 watt HID's, no LED can compete with them. (Yet) Plus I have done many-many other thing since then. Goldwings are great
Hey, the main thing is you got the the bike you wanted at a price you were OK with!
@@cruisemansgarage It had 48k and it was a bargin
I am going to go look at a 2019 Goldwing only has 2,500 miles it is a trike this bike is pristine any comments
How easy / difficult to ride this motorcycle? I have been riding Triumph bonneville t100 for quite some time and few others?
Easy, low center of gravity
Not a single word about what you did and didnt like gen from gen. How they felt next to each other.
