i didn't know honda made a bicentenneal wing. just think the 100th anniversery wing, wonder if any of the founding fathers of america had one back in 1876

"Take thy beak from out my heart" oh, the pain of it all. I just emptied out my slush fund for the RC, bringing it home today matter of fact. Some lucky SOB is going to get a rare piece of Honda history. Never been reg'd, only set-up miles, museum/mint cond...to quote one of ours: "oh, Prunella!"

I wish I had the money for it I would like to have one of the 1976 Limited GL1000's.
With only 2000 made and how many are still intact and how many out of circulation, there may not be many left that are pristine condition. Somewhere there is a serious collector with their eyes on that prize.

Do you s'pose the owner would croak if I bought it, flew out, and promptly rode it home to Colorado?

Well, you wouldn't get $28,000.00 for it at the Barrett Jackson Auction if you did that.

See what $110,000.00 bought this guy.http://www.barrett-jackson.com/application/onlinesubmission/lotdetails.aspx?ln=662&aid=363&pop=0

That just ain't right!!!

You'd be amazed at what restored or all original collector vehicles bring in at auction. Then there are the people that have the money to buy them and place them in their collection.
