I am the proud owner of a 1981 Yamaha Maxim xj650 that I just rode from Ohio (near the Mich. Border) to Biketoberfest in Daytona (2500 miles on a 30 yr old 650 cruiser with the wife on the back) I have put ~20000 miles on her in the past 3 years
After that I decided I want comfort! I cannot afford new, but I really want a wing. I found an 83 1100 localy on craigslist I am to look at tomorrow. Supposedly the owner is too small for the bike. I don't know what mileage is on the bike yet.
Three questions... (or about)
1. About what is an 83 worth in good condition?
1a. Anything in particular I should be looking at?
2. Can most Goldwings that age handle 2500+ mile trips?
3. I am 5' 4" 190lbs. Am I going to be too small for this? I've never ridden a wing, sat on one a few times but never drove.
Thanks for any answers up front. I really want to look at this and possibly get it tomorrow.
