[star4772]

Chance to buy either or opinions please.

1. 86 Goldwing 1200 SEI fuel injected like new 50,000 miles everything works. $3500 or

2. 2000 Kaw Voyager in like new condition, also has new tires last week, new brake pads front and rear, all fluids changed including clutch and brake and oil. 52,000 miles done at dealer. asking $4500

 

Hum never owned 1200 SEI wing but have had a 1200 Voyager and was a great runner.

Voyager all the way. Tuff tom on this site has one, IDK what year and he takes it to all the events. Maybe you can reach out to him and see what wisdom he can give you. I was going to buy one as my first bike, before I saw the Vulcan.

 

it will fit right in, as the voyager also has a cassette player I think?

Stay away from the SEI. Honda's first foray into Fuel injection for the wing and it wasn't great. Not many of them around, parts for the FI, if you can find them, are expensive. If you are going to buy a GL1200, get one with carburetors. Also the GL1200 (any of them) has propensity to eat stators (motor has to come out to change) and melt R/R connectors. This is a must check on any GL1200 purchase. Either it has new stator or it s going to need one.

 

If you are buying an older bike, of the two the Voyager with carbs will be easier, cheaper to work on.

After a little internet search of CL, I see several yr. 2000 low mile units for $3950. I think $4500 is too much.
