Hi Guys,
As you can note from my nic I ride a Hayabusa, have done so almost 10 yrs with no intentions in giving it up.
However, I have always wanted a GL1500 SE White when I was riding ST1100's of which I had 3 and served me very well before the busa came in.
There is a GL1500 SE White available, I wont say where but not in the USA. So pricing isnt a consideration for comparison or worth. This particular bike was bought in '97 and kept by a collector. Ermm believe it or not it has but 250 odd miles on it. Yup not even run in yet. The collector from what I understand didnt quite like riding it much so stood all those years it did. However I was told he consistently changed the oil based on time and not miles. This has yet to be verified.
So my question to you guys who know the goldwing alot better then I, should I be careful, should I beware? Is it asking for trouble buying a bike never worked but stood static most of its life. I was told the fuel tank under the seat was replaced for some little rust in the tank. I am told fork seals and all fluids were changed. I am told she rides "tight" like a new bike, which for all intents and purposes it sorta is.
So what do you reckon?
Thanks in anticipation.
