I havent seen a picture of the bike yet or even know much about it other than that it has ~60k miles and just had the waterpump replaced.
My bike is in pretty nice shape with only 7k miles on it. Everything is in awesome shape except it needs new paint.
Do you guys think this is a fair trade if his wing is in good shape? What should my bike be worth about? What should his be worth? I think he is asking $1400 cash.
I am located in Nebraska since I know where a person lives can affect prices.
Is this goldwing going to be a pretty decent bike as far as comfort and reliability goes. I know to watch out for bad stators as you have to remove the engine to replace them. Anything else to watch out for?
Thanks guys.

I have heard that parts are getting harder to find for the old wings.

The radio doesnt work. Some static comes through the cb but no headset to really try it out. The air compressor doesnt run. The rear brake caliper is seized.
He claims to only get 25-30 mpg doing 75. Maybe dirty carbs? Although it seems to run ok.
It definitely needs a little TLC but it will get me to the winter when I can work on it.

I wouldn't trade my 7K mile KZ1000 for a 60K wing No Way Jose..
What he said ^^^^^ !
If you want the wing, give him the cash and keep your kz.
then you have 1 for cruising and 1 for fun.

It is pretty crazy though because when I got my first bike at 18 i promised myself i would never get a big dressed out bike. Now I am only 20 and pretty happy with my trade.
