I also have a 99' GL1500 SE 50th Anniversary Edition and when I bought it back in 2018 it looked immaculate just the same as yours - and yes with only 18,000 miles on it. These bikes were built to last and stand the test of time. Well engineered to be very, very low maintenance and RELIABLE... CONGRATULATIONS MAN!!!
@@heritagegaitfarms2515 Yes that's an absolutely beautiful barn find story and a gem of a bike, I just wanted to let you know the facts on it.. The 2005 is the 30th year anniversary and next year in '2025 will be the 50 Anniversary Goldwing🥂👍
Congratulations on your beautiful goldwing. I have a 1995 goldwing same color but I have a trike kit on it. It is such an enjoyment to ride, enjoy and be careful
Thank you Sir. My uncle and aunt went many miles on a motorcycle. I was very excited when I was able to get there last one. My wife and I just got home from riding it to super.
Don't listen to most people. At 18000 miles, the seals haven't even set properly. That bike will outlive you. My goldwing is a 1988 gl1500. It has 54000 on it. Still running strong.
Awesome bike! It loox like your going to look after the bike and you and your wife are going to enjoy for many years. The boot is as big as the boot on my wife's Toyota Yaris.
Great find. Im doing the same on a 1999 1500 in Green with 22k miles. I hope the wife and I can get some great trips in on these older but great machines. For peace of mind I replaced my original timing belts.
We inspected mine looked good. We are going to change them this winter. Luckily mine had always been a climate controlled garage. Good luck on yours. We sure are in joying ours
I always find it interesting that most critics are as clueless as they come even though in their own minds they are the experts on any given subject. I’ve learned early in life that ignoring them is the best approach 😂
I listed to all the comments about it and made my own call. We just approached it the same as we have done with old cars that have been setting for years.
I bought the same bike but a one year earlier (98) from a guy in Minnesota last year with 74k on her. Spent 3k ( Did I spend too much? 😏😆 ) but anyways... I'm enjoying her like nobody's business. I know you and wife will enjoy yours! Beautiful bike and thanks for sharing! 👍🏽😎
I’m sure it was money well spent. We are loving ours. Me and the wife put 200+miles on it Saturday and over 100mi. Sunday. Working on Saturday video now.
The low mileage/long storage fear is about the various seals,boots etc. having dried out and stiffened,cracked,split and giving out, not that it wouldn't run.... That remains to be seen,as it will need to be run in with some miles to expose any such issues. Great looking bike and well worth owning, but not unreasonable to expect some future issues with various rubber bits giving way......
Yes sir all would apply in most cases for sure. But this one belonged to my uncle. It was in a climate controlled garage. Even though it was not taken off the stand since 2001 he started it and put a new battery on it every year. I guess I got lucky with it. We have put over 2000mi on it already. Not one issue with anything. Everything works like it was new. Not one leak. I guess the storage is what saved it. Thank you for watching.
Good find. Idle should be around 850 RPM if memory serves. That's probably why it stalled at the gas station. And that's the same name I gave my 2000se just like it. It's beautiful 😍
this whole video has a 2008 era youtube feel to it. wish the video would have followed along with the teardown and repair, not just the owner talking about it.
Thank you for your input. The original plan was to do just that. I had just got the bike and took it straight to my friends house to do the work. I was going on vacation the next day. He could not wait and started the repairs. I’m new to this stuff so hopefully I will get better at it.
For some reason everyone was afraid of mine because of the low mileage. I did not understand that at all. We flushed and rebleed the brakes changed all fluids. Only thing I had to replace was the fuel pump and tires.
I was very lucky and blessed that the bike had been in the garage its entire life. So the only time the sun was on it was during the 18000mi they rode it. I just had to wipe it off. I polished it and used armor all wipes on the black.

@@heritagegaitfarms2515The 1st Gold Wing was in 1975 so this isn't the 50th Anniversary, yours is only 24 years old if it's a 1999!!
@seatime674 that is what all the badges say is all I know. My uncle bought it new. This is my first Gold Wing.

All most a year later. We have been enjoying the bike. It has performed perfectly not one issue. Wife loves the big seat.
What a beautiful 'veteran' she is. I bet you're proud to ride her. Your uncle must be looking down and smiling 😊
I sure hope he is. Thank you

Thank. We have enjoyed it so far.
I have a black '99 with 92000 miles.
Sounds and looks (apart from the color) about the same.
You done did mighty well.
Thank you. I hope you are enjoying yours
Man's greatest example of Art displaying it's most refined engineering
Thank you
looking good brother !!!!!
Thanks
Thank you Sir for sharing this vedio. What a classic bike. I could only dream of. May you and your wife have many enjoyable & memorable journeys.
Thank you Sir. My uncle and aunt went many miles on a motorcycle. I was very excited when I was able to get there last one. My wife and I just got home from riding it to super.
We found a Barn Find just weeks ago… a 1995 20th Anniversary Goldwing .. not ridden since 2009 and 28,000 original miles. Safe travels
Very cool. Good luck with your find

I have already put over 1500mi on it. The bike is incredible. Everything works as it should. Being in that building probably helped it a great deal.
You are going to have years of fun on Pearl!!! Very happy for you both!!
Thank you sir. That’s the plan. First group ride and bike show this Saturday.
Awesome bike! It loox like your going to look after the bike and you and your wife are going to enjoy for many years. The boot is as big as the boot on my wife's Toyota Yaris.

I'm a little jealous that I sold my '99. This and most 1500s are beautiful
Thank you
very nice bike.
Safe travel and enjoy that pretty motor.
Thank you. We are trying.
Hi me from iran ..very nice .god lock❤❤

Thank sir. We are enjoying it.
Such a great bike man. Love it!
Thank you.
love it. I had one when i lived in Florida.
Thank you
1st Honda MC was built in 1949. So 50th anniversary must refer to the 50th year for Honda motorcycles.
You are correct. Thanks for watching.

Just today I saw a 1994 with only 6,000 miles, listed for sale at $4995. Im considering it...
For some reason everyone was afraid of mine because of the low mileage. I did not understand that at all. We flushed and rebleed the brakes changed all fluids. Only thing I had to replace was the fuel pump and tires.
Go for it.
Very nice
Thank you.
Just racked up 10k miles on my 2023 two weeks ago. Must have alot of bikes.
Hasn’t been out of the garage since 2001.
It looks like you are starting to have the "screen of death" on the LCD. Plan on buying a new one soon, and change that out.
Yes it is. That is the only thing that has had a problem. It was that way when I turned the key on. Winter project.
Greetings,
What a fantastic video 🇺🇸🍾🎉🇺🇸.
Please, let me know when you are ready to sell.
Thank you so much for assisting me.
It was my uncle’s that was very close to me. I would not sale it.
Better change them timing belts. They are over ten years old. Don't want the belt to break and pistons slam into the valves.
Yes that’s the plan for the winter.
I have one just like i love it
Glad you are in joying it. We love ours
Sweet
Thanks
Very Nice. Question...what did you use to make all the black, black again? I can't find anything that will work on mine. Enjoy your new ride.
I was very lucky and blessed that the bike had been in the garage its entire life. So the only time the sun was on it was during the 18000mi they rode it. I just had to wipe it off. I polished it and used armor all wipes on the black.
Very nice 👌
I highly recommend "Mother's Back to Black"
@@Rapheal.De.La.Ghetto that is good stuff
Beautiful bike! How are the tires after twenty years?
Like new. But I changed them for safety reasons. Tires and a full pump is all I had to do to it.
I have a naked wing from 1982
I bet that is cool.
what would you take for it
Not for sale
People squwak allot about something they haven't a clue about
We put over two thousand miles on it before it got cold. No problems.
