The end of riding season prices were very attractive considering a new 2018 wing with a trunk (no DCT or airbag) would cost CDN$36,000.00 cash out the door.
I had no interest in a heavier motorcycle until a mature Goldwing rider (or is that driver?) flew by me on a cold and windy day on Highway 15. But the big fairing, comfy seat, saddlebags and trunk would be nice.
However there is very little chance of a trade, as this old tightwad has trouble spending $500 for a rear rack and engine guards.
agree , i have lost by desire for a new wing and the old ones are to huge. " couch on wheels "
but would not mind spending a grand on parts if i drop my bike rather than put up with unsightly engine guards. BTW my 1976 Honda CB750 came with them and there in the heap pile somewhere around here.....
In the past I have bought several used bikes with engine guards. First thing I removed and threw away lol
I don't begrudge anyone for putting them on their bike to protect it. Good idea actually. I just can't stand the looks of them on my personal bikes. I also removed and threw away most luggage racks, bar risers, and lowering dogs even though I'm short. Heck every other day I think about taking off the small Fehling luggage rack on my CB1100 .... then I change my mind.
