I posted a few weeks back about a 1200 Interstate that was available to me from a friend who bought it new. Bike is stock. No add ons what so ever. It has 25000 miles on it. Tires are good...not checked...never down....a little surface rust on shocks and bars....very minor. He wants me to have the bike. He put a price on bike of $2500 as is, or $3000 if he takes it to Honda shop and have it serviced. His son, who is a friend also...Valkrie owner.....was last one to put any miles on bike a few years back. He says bike ran perfect. I can service bike myself...would perfer to...so I am thinking of taking bike as is. I am aware of stator issues with this model. Thinking of taking my chances. Plan on riding Goldwing no more than 3000 miles a year, at most, for now. I feel this is a VERY good buy on bike. I am trying to convince my wife of that. Any thoughts from 1200 owners, or any owners for that matter? I do appreciate all of your replys, and enjoy the forum. I am just a very cautious buyer in todays economy, and I already have a 1996 1100 Shadow with 9000 miles on it. I LIKE older, low mile bikes. Thanks ahead for replys
