A Gold Wing for the price of a Lifan!

This looks like a great starting point for a clean simple standard type bike to me :-)

My word.

I say remove the rack and trunk. Install low handlebars. Change the seat to a flatter style with maybe a hump and you're good to go!

katoranger · 05-21-2013, 02:24 PM

Its low miles too. Looks like alot of bike for $1200.

FastDoc · 05-21-2013, 02:55 PM

Doesn't it? :-)

FastDoc · 05-21-2013, 02:57 PM

Pretty sparse ad on information. Maybe it doesn't have a title?

It's in Finley. We call it 'Fintucky' here. Very rural. Horse and agricultural country.

This is the look I have in mind for a bike like that:

Dang, a Gold Wing is capable of being a gorgous capable classic bike!

Weldangrind · 05-22-2013, 12:03 AM

Whatever it was, it's gone.

MICRider · 05-22-2013, 12:25 AM

Oh! I like the black one! That looks awesome!

SpudRider · 05-22-2013, 01:37 AM

It's gone, and I didn't get to see it!

FastDoc · 05-22-2013, 11:05 AM

It was a clean original good condition good running 1979 Gold Wing with about 15,000 miles... $1,200.

SpudRider · 05-22-2013, 01:21 PM

Somebody snatched it.

The great deals on Craigslist don't last more than 24 hours.

That's a fact!
