Find one with Spotter →Honda Gold Wing sold for a median of $4,500 over the last 12 months, based on 21 auction sales; the middle 50% sold between $3,075 and $8,064. 60 currently for sale.
The Gold Wing debuted for 1975 as the GL1000, a powerful naked bike powered by a liquid-cooled 999cc flat-four engine. It wasn't designed as a tourer, but owners quickly adapted it for long distances. Honda took notice, adding factory fairings, luggage, and luxury features over the years, transforming the Gold Wing into the benchmark for two-wheeled, continent-crossing comfort.
Early, unfaired GL1000 models, particularly the 1975 launch year, are the most sought-after by collectors for their purity and historical significance. Later models, like the first flat-six GL1500 from 1988, also have a strong following for their smoothness and features. The market is incredibly broad, with an average sale price around $6,600. High-mileage bikes from the 80s and 90s are exceptionally affordable, while pristine, low-mileage examples of any era command premium prices.
Buying Tips
- Check for proof of timing belt replacement; it's a critical and often neglected service item on these interference engines.
- Test all electronics, from the stereo and intercom to the cruise control and reverse gear on later models, as repairs can be complex.
- On carbureted models (pre-GL1500), ask when the carbs were last cleaned and synchronized, as poor running is common after storage.
- Don't be scared of high mileage if it's backed by service records; a well-maintained Gold Wing can easily surpass 200,000 miles.
