Honda Gold Wing description

This bike was donated to the Farmington, NM CMA (Christian Motorcyclist Association).  All money from the sale will go to the “Run for the Son” ministries.  Check the website at www.cmausa.org for details.

 

The good: 

 

It is a 1976 Goldwing 1000cc.  I’m thinking this is the second year of manufacture for Goldwings and there is no reserve. It has electric start or kick start.  Engine  is free and does turn over with the kick option but the kick lever is missing.  Electric starter works fine when powered up. Exhaust, and chrome in pretty good to excellent shape as the bike has been stored indoors.  Classic Vetter fairing is in good to very good condition.


Clear title.  Clutch lever operates fine. 

 

The bad:

 

The gas tank has some damage as shown in photos.  There are some dents in the frame tubing around the area where both side covers attach.  Some cracks in the fiberglass tank covers and side covers.  Pretty good buckle in the rear fender.  There is a dent in the right fork tube top cover. 

 

At least one carb is damaged. It has a float mount that is broken. It also has other pieces missing.

  Appears to be a missing part or parts in the carb linkage.  Another carb that was inspected cleaned up just fine.  The two other carbs have not been inspected.

 

The engine did run (roughly) on choke and primed carbs.  All 4 Cylinders show 120 psi compression.  Bottom line - an experienced person should be able to restore the bike to running condition with a different carb and rebuild kits.

 

The speedometer has been replaced but not tested.  The original was broken and cracked. Rear turn signals need some work and the seat has some cracks.  Not sure of the mileage as odometer was on broken gauge and replaced.

   

Ignition lock has been replaced as there was no key with the bike.  It seems to work fine.

Please contact me for any questions and I’ll do my best to answer or send more pictures.  Bike is located in Farmington, NM and bidders are welcome to come check it out.  Just send me a email through ebay and I’ll give you the address.

WSBK 2013: Aragon Race Report

Mon, 15 Apr 2013

BMW Motorrad Goldbet racer Chaz Davies scored his first career World Superbike double victory, taking both races at Spain’s Aragon circuit. The wins were the second and third of Davies’ WSBK career (the first came last year at Nurburgring for the ParkinGo Aprilia team) and the second ever double in the series for BMW. The Welsh rider and former AMA Pro Racing competitor has had some success at Aragon, getting his first career WSBK podium at the Spanish track in 2012.

2014 WSBK – Assen Results

Mon, 28 Apr 2014

Heavy rains and a fortuitous red flag were the difference in the World Superbike Championship‘s visit to The Cathedral of motorcycle racing, the TT Circuit Assen in the Netherlands. Aprilia‘s Sylvain Guintoli captured his second win of the season in Race 1, which was halted early by a red flag with five laps to go just as it looked like reigning WSBK champion Tom Sykes was gearing up for a final challenge. The second race was also shortened, not by a red flag but because of a rain, turning the 21-lap race into a 10-lap sprint.

A Different Bike Magazine

Thu, 12 Feb 2009

Motorcycle Retro is a pet project of former Motorcyclist editor Mitch Boehm, launching as Motorcyclist Retro in early 2008 under the Source Interlink media umbrella. It featured a contemporary look at motorcycles of the 1960s through the 1980s. However, the circulation numbers of MR didn’t meet the expectations of the media conglomerate, and they cancelled production of the magazine after just two issues.
