What year was the last GL1100 made, I saw one for sale, and it says it's a 1989, did they make them to 89 ? I thought they change to 1200 in 1984.

1983 was the last of production 1100s. The 1980 GL1100s were the first GLs to roll out of the Ohio Plant that year in May with the "Made In USA" label on them.

Here's some good reading that will give you some history on the Goldwing. Also, budoka is correct. The last production year for the 1100 was 1983..

1980-1983 were GL1100......1984-1987 were GL1200......

Thanks Folks,

Very informative, esp. Two Wheel Wing's link. I recently bought an 1100 Wing from the last year of production ('83,) without even knowing it, along with an '85 1200 Aspencade that I'm currently working on. The 1100 GW is next in the shop, later this month; both in nice shape.
