Naked Gold Wing

No Worries · 04-20-2008, 07:29 PM

Check out this 1975 Honda Gold Wing on Craigslist (if it's still available): http://denver.craigslist.org/mcy/649245355.html. They were naked when they first came out and a bunch of aftermarket manufacturers made fairings for it. Honda wised up soon after and made their later bikes with Honda fairings. But I think it looks great as a naked bike. Get rid of the longhorn handlebars, put on drag handlebars, lose the King/Queen seat, better pipes and you have a great naked bike. And those wire wheels, Wow.

Interesting. Never knew Goldwings came without car like ammenities.

Plus the gas tank is fake. The real gas tank is under the seat. They didn't think it would sell without a gas tank where it should be.
