Honda Goldwing bagger DCT

[stever1]

if anyone is looking for a newish bagger I know where a private seller is thinking of selling his. It’s a Sept 23 registration and only has a couple of thousand miles on it.
Incudes shad top box, is on a service plan and has been well looked after. Obviously has 2+ years warranty left on it.
Could be a bargain

It's not Arsey's blue one then, so tell us more.

I have fancied trying a GW for several years, but have grown rather fond of my old 2006 Electraglide which covers most bases.

What can I tell you ?
It’s my pals, bought it new last September , it’s a matte grey one with the expanding Shad top box but the top is original, not colour matched.
It’s his 2nd bagger, Full bagger spec , also has auxiliary lights, main stand, and the DCT transmission.
He loves the bike but isn’t getting the use out of it.

Thanks ......... I think I'll pass though.

The spec sounds good, but, to my eye, they look a tad nondescript in that colour.

IIRC, someone once said rudely ' is that primer mate - what colour are you having it painted'

Here's wishing him GLWTS.

A few pics of it , oh, it’s datataged and has a screen protector on as well
Perhaps it’s silver, not grey

If money was no object, had plenty of time to use the bike and a spare space in the garage….

Looks good in grey, I am a bit of a sucker for grey.

I enjoyed having a 30-40 minute go on Bonnie’ Blue one, so much so, that I did not want to get off it. It is just like riding your favourite couch.

Somebody will get a bargain, that’s for sure, might take some time to find a buyer though.

It's silvery grey then.

Very nice.

No. He got sick of tyre kickers offering stupid money. In the end it went to a Honda dealer for silly money (15k)

That's a lot of bike for £15k

I know the feeling Steve, not a good time to be selling big value bikes (or anything else for that matter) at the moment. I had to drop a fair bit on mine to get some nibbles. Just after covid I could have sold it for a grand more than I paid for it…..time moves on though.

Swings and roundabouts though…I beat the seller of the Road King down, he had it up for sale since April or May.

He put it up for 19k, it only had 1733miles on it. Had main stand, aux lights, top box, next 2 services paid for. Remaining 2 years warranty and recovery. Basically, a new bike.

Crikey ... that is a hit

Absolutely. Basically a 10k ish hit in a year

That’s rough, and you know that dealer will have it for sale for £3-4k more, without needing to put a warranty on it and can afford to sit on it and wait. That’s business I suppose though.

Even more. Try £5990 on it
