Default Ideas on value of used GoldWing GL1500 '96

I have an opportunity to buy a GL 1500 that has been sitting in a garage for about 5 years. It is under a cover and looks very good, cant remember miles and I know the owner, and Im sure he maintained it well.
I have to assume that it will "at the least need"; battery, carb work, and tires.
Checked kbb and "good" cond was $3900.

Am only considering to use for 2 up touring so I don't have to use my cbr for something the GL is much better suited for, not to replace the cbr, no way.

Any thoughts/suggestions appreciated

You might call Crazy Larry's in Lakewood, WA. He's a Goldie specialist and loves to talk bikes.

They mount my tires for me

Just saw that, Sprock.

A weakness for the pun is a sign of good character

LOL - Tom
- who could resist - and Woof - maybe
but imo - I think this Guy kinda nailed it



Dayum taking too long to reply is bad character !

Look at these two gentlemen of compliments.


& Ken I thought you set off to Donegal & other places today
for a few days ?

1500 Tom - pay no heed to Ken it can only go North from there
that's where Kens from btw and going north for me has always
been risky right Ken ? LOL

Value of a Goldwing 1500?

It's entirely down to the buyer.

How big is your boat? what size anchor do you actually need?

Maybe you could get away with an 883 Sportster?

Dunno about the boat anchor comment TK

I know I'd ride that
