Selling my 2000 GL1500 Goldwing SE - A One of a Kind Bike - SOLD!

[@04JALD]

You gave a great deal for someone at $6,000. You built a dream wing as I say. She is a beauty especially everything you have done to it.

[@GoldwingDocs]

The bike is now sold, thanks to everyone for your inquiries!

[@steveplatts8208]

Congrats. Looking forward to the next phase 😊

[@singuyen5927]

GoldwingDocs has given me the confidence to fix and service my own bike. Thank you Scott. Good luck selling. Can’t wait to see your new ride

[@GoldwingDocs]

This is my favorite kind of comment to read. :)

[@corkyakins9075]

Same here! Whenever I ran into a problem with either my '88 or '99, the first place I went was to the manual and then to GWD! Thank you so much Scott!

[@anonimous2451]

Scott, I found GWdocs in 2015 when I got a 83 Interstate and have followed along with my limited experiences and have learned a lot. When You sold your 82 1100 I was sort of sad but 7 years later and I have resisted the 6 cyl wings for my own reasons and Today I feel like I am losing a friend. The fact you got an other bike means a few years of easy maintenance and I thank you personally for the experiences.

[@bottomlinebassin2001]

Met a guy at a hotel that was checking in with a 94 Aspencade. If you read this it was nice to talk to you! Thanks for all the helpful knowledge you shared with a complete stranger, I greatly appreciate it!

[@herbiesgarage681]

That is definitely a one of a kind GL1500 and I can understand it being very difficult to set a price on it. The color combo is so beautiful, and I can't imagine what other accessory a person might need since you have everything already. I have a 1997 but man I would love to have this bike with the trailer and all. A wonderful video, I watched all the way through and I'm not even in the market to buy a bike right now. I subscribed to your channel when I bought my GL1500 last year and you are a wealth of information on this bike. Good luck Scott on your new bike, I'm sure you will be making that bike your own as well. Thank you!

[@johnstockdale4002]

I sure hope you continue to run goldwing docs. Would be a shame to lose your advice and help and amazing work that you did creating Goldwing docs. We need and appreciate you and your team and your work. Hopefully you stay with us and continue your journey and channel no matter what you decide to get for your next bike. God bless you and your family. I would love to get your bike and trailer. Only problem is I have my 1984 1200 goldwing Aspencade. I am needing to go to a Trike very shortly. Please don’t leave us. Thanks John and Cathy Niagara Falls Ontario Canada P.S. we love your channel and your form has helped me immensely with my bikes and projects.

GoldwingDocs will continue! I have no plans to stop.

Contrast where you live Brrrrrr with good ole Yuma absolutely no frost,ice, snow, or condensation on my windshields in Arizona, My toys are a Vespa, 2 etrikes, a 2000 Anniversary white GW, A 2010 911 cabriolet blk on blk w/ blk leather & yellow suede interior, & my most driven is a 33 yr old hotty & the 2010 HHR ‘red’Panel LT a/t w/mudflats all round, and a most beautiful girlfriend, I always drive very slowly so people can stare longer & make their obscene catcalls, I am 82 my sweetie of 10 yrs & best of the best accessory is 33. O.G. (the original genius)

[@pat1475]

So glad you are not going anywhere! Thanks for being such a staple in the motorcycle world. I currently have same miles on my white 97 SE.

[@aportilla007]

I own a 22 Africa Twin, but am inheriting a 94 1500 (with all the options) that is a time capsule. My father in law bought it new, rode it five hundred miles, and parked it. Yes that is correct, 500 miles. He put a cover over, in a garage, and left it there. I just bought a new battery and spent an entire day going over the bike. It is almost as new. I took it for a ride. It quickly became my favorite bike ever, over my Africa, LOL. It rides as new. Incredible.

[@stephensheridan6332]

Sold my GL1500 SE last week, i didn’t want to because i loved it so much, but parts were becoming difficult to obtain and expensive, so i cut my losses and bought a 2002 Honda ST1300 in immaculate condition with 17000 miles. It will never be my beloved Goldwing but it’s an amazing close second.

[@alejandroczerwinski9165]

I will miss your tutorial videos, although I've a 2003 GL1800 still learn from you so much

[@davidspensberger7862]

i loved my 98 GL 1500 best color, that's what i had moved on to 21 dct different animal but fond memories of my girl

[@mps9608]

Sad, you have helped me with a lot of your videos. I have a 1999 1500SE but I am still rebuilding it. I made the mistake of buying the bike when it wasn't running. So keep finding things I need to fix. Taking the carbs off for the 2nd time 🤣, need to rebuild the brakes and front suspension.

[@jimcarleton]

Great review Scott. When you said you've bought something else, I think a lot of people assume it's a bike. You didn't say that, so therefore I don't assume. Many life changes over the last year.....hmmmm. Probably has something to do with the new do, which you've kept quiet about. At some point, when you're ready, you'll fill all of us in on these things. I hated selling my '84 1200, but the new-to-me '05 1800 is a dream. Sorry I'm going to miss the goldwingdocs annual rally in August. Getting ready for a big out west trip and can't make the WV rally as well. Take care, keep the great content coming. Thank you.

[@7viewerlogic670]

Thanks for all the info on that model. Price seems very fair.

[@talkeetnamachine8845]

The thought to sell my Goldwing went through my head this spring... an instant marital dispute with my wife ensued. She grew up on the back of her dad's bike, I will never sell my GL1500

[@aaronmwangi8453]

😁😁😁 marital dispute over a goldwing that's the best thing ever lol

[@johnevans2553]

Hey Scott, John from WinGovations here. Very sorry to hear you are having to sell your beloved machine, but glad to hear that the site is going to continue. Someone is going to be a very lucky new owner! Health issues can be a real bummer: I have not ridden for over two years since fracturing my back again (the third time!). Hoping that maybe I'll get back to it later this year. Look after yourself, that's the most important thing, and thank you for all you do.

[@rexliggett6142]

I had a 1985, looks just like yours, had fun with it for years, had no issues letting it go 10 years ago, good bike, but lots ve thev1800.

[@JeanMeunier-lq4qu]

Super vidéo! Merci Scott, depuis tant d'année a nous tenir informer des nouveautés sur tout les produits sur le marché et entretien de la mécanique concernant le GL1500 et les astuces a trouver comment et pourquoi s'y faire autrement. encore merci d'apprendre que tu continu ton forum avec ton site GoldwingDocs. ...ainsi que ta chaine KZbin!

[@4loyal]

Hey Scott! I hate to hear you’re selling your beloved GL1500😢! I can relate, I had to sell my own a few years ago, it’s like losing a dear friend! I hope you’ve gotten something equally as nice! Loyal.

[@ronschubert6240]

Really enjoyed your video about the bike your selling. Of all the extras you have added to your bike the ones I find the most helpful and useful are the Corbin seat and the air horns. Unfortunately, Honda is dropping the Goldwing and Kaw is dropping the Concours 1400. The loyal riders and the ones pushed the sales of the large touring bikes are getting older and fewer. I hope you get the 6K your asking for the bike. Keep up the great work with your videos as they are very helpful and entertaining.

[@richardwheeler3768]

Still anxiously waiting to see what ride is coming next!!!

[@BobBarkerIsOld]

The end of an era. I finally made got the 1833 Wing though and haven’t looked back. Despite my 1500 sitting in WI right now.

[@MEGAPARTY140]

SOLD!!!!!!! What a Lucky Buyer, great Buy.

[@jimeckenrode1271]

I can tell you that I know how you feel about selling your bike. I have a 98 SE with 74,000 miles and I think I may have to sell it due to medical condition. I don't think I am strong enough to hold it up anymore. I have another bike so I can still ride.

[@motoheadskenya_MHK]

Hello scott, watching from kenya a new subscriber but love your content, wish i could take it from your hands and give it a home back here, beautiful bike and great content. The passion the will the love and the engineering is amaizing

[@j.t.5826]

Love your t-shirt Scott

[@nevsmate8663]

The 1996-2003 GL1500C Valkyrie suffers the same shifter problem as your Goldwing, this problem can prematurely fail the shifter seal. I have a "shifter Buddy" version which works great.

[@GoldwingDocs]

I hadn't heard of the Shifter Buddy, looking at it, it looks like it's a close knock-off of Peppilepew's original design, except made with steel instead of aluminum, and without the brass bearing insert. I wonder if it would work on the Wings as well? It would depend on the mounting point.

[@guybowers9094]

What a great bike. I'm in California but if i were closer i would give you the cash for it now. I only have a little reservation about the rear car tire on it. Obviously there is much debate about running one and I'm the type that i belive in going with what the manufacturer recommends but you have experience with it so what is your thoughts on using it. I have been debating buying either a 2017 or going with a 2000 in great condition. I believe the 1500 is the most comfortable bike there is to ride.

[@mrmichaeltscott]

The Honda goldwing wizard only lives 40 miles from me😂😂😂

[@edwardmcgee494]

The balance of the universe is restored. You're looking to check out of GL1500 ownership just as I am gearing up to check in. Been watching your videos to see if a Goldwing is for me and I think the answer is yes. Good luck with whatever is next. F

[@kingsoulsurfer41]

I've got a question for you know. You're selling a bike and everything but I have a 2002 gold ring 1800 and I have to replace the starter and I have an a. Problem disconnecting everything to get to the starter because I know it's underneath the gas tank
