I used to have same year & model as this, but sold it around ‘09. I have been keeping an eye out for another one. I am working out of town and this is an hour north of where I am at.
Pros:
Looks clean
28k miles
Passenger seat / trunk bracket
Both hard bags
Radio set up(although non working, would replace anyway)
Only a 500
Windshield
Cons:
1982
Brown / Burgundy
Could use money for other things.
2.5 driving to look at it, possible 2.5 hours to pick it up.
Only a 500
Opinions???

For this, yeah. Last one I had was a silver which I think looked better.

1200 is an amazing price for a good running bike with kit like this. Pull the trigger. You don’t like it? You’ll get your money back.

True, I bought the other one for $900, rode it replaced oils, tires, & speedo cable. Then sold it for $900.
So about $300 for 2 years of riding.

I bought a new battery, a new thorttle tube, and some replacement turn signals. I have no doubt I could get 11-1300$ for my nighthawk 650 that I paid 800 for when it had running issues.

IF you’ve got the money, by all means go ahead! But if you don’t have much extra money for fixing potential issues and things like storage, it would be a wise idea to steer clear.

Those were solid, dependable Honda bikes. Offer $900. Looks well taken care of. Test drive for at least 20 miles.

My dad has an ‘81 gl500 silverwing! It’s super clean too, I just got it back running for him (except for the minor detail that it’s only running on one cylinder). Do it.
