I had to walk away from my 650 nighthawk due to repair costs and have been looking for a similar bike for several months. Have not been able to find similar and anything I was interested in just seemed to dissappear within minutes of being put up for sale. Frustrating as h..ll. I finally started looking at both bigger and smaller size bikes and found a deal I couldn't turn down. Went and bought myself an older(77) gl1000(goldwing). A really mint shape well cared for bike. I also like it as all the mechanics of it( those parts I can work on) seem to be up front and center, and easy to get at. Really looking forward to a few season of riding on this bike. It comes with all the fairings and bags, but am thinking I might strip it down as I kinda like the more naked look of this bike.

CONGRATS!!

Sorry to hear about your Nighthawk. My nighthawk 550sc is the current love of my life and I would just die if had to give her up, although I have had my eye on a triumph of late, LOL.
At least my bike doesn't give me dirty looks when I spy something sweet on the street (unlike my ex)



Have fun with her, and keep the shiny side up.

Good luck with the wing....

Awesome. Enjoy it, those flat fours were awesome engines.

First real bike I ever rode was my dad's '77 GL1000 when I was about 14. His had the big Windjammer fairing, I always sort of wanted to make it naked. My first bike, a '79 CB750, looked just like a baby GL.
