The price is incredibly low! If it was in Italy we would have purchased it immediately despite the possible problem of assistance because only two came in Italy and no Honda dealer knows it.
In Germany I recently saw one for sale at 8000 euros.

Re: 1985 GL1200 LE
The Atlantic is a great divide, bikes are more expensive going your way, parts are more expensive coming mine. These older fuel injected Gold Wings are an excellent bike when operating well. The issue here is that, because of the computerized fuel injection system (CFI), these bikes are shied away from - parts are sometimes not available, old used parts are old used parts, and most people do not want to put the effort into learning about the CFI system. There are work arounds for the various CFI components, but this too takes time and a want to do. A lot of comments/posts mention these points and recommend getting a carb model instead. Understanding what is happening to these older FI models is not as straight forward as a carb model, and there are fewer people who understand what is happening.Paola Zago wrote: ↑Wed Sep 21, 2022 3:40 am The price is incredibly low!

I'm a fan of these older fuel injected models. Find them to be very reliable, and you can tour and travel without an issue. Been working on and maintaining mine for the past 7 years. I'm still learning about mine. Great retirement project, and it is a conversation piece.
Having mentioned the above, the price is very reasonable for over here.

Re: 1985 GL1200 LE
Yes. It's put away for the winter currently. A guy left me a deposit back in October and I haven't heard from him since. I am pretty sure he didn't really know what the bike is. I will return his deposit if he ever contacts me again.
The bike has sat for a couple seasons. When I put it away for the winter the rear brake was stuck on and it was blowing oil smoke from the left side and cylinder #4 seems to be firing only intermittently. Proof I guess that a GoldWing shouldn't sit for any length of time.
