Tune-a: Yeah, I think the goldwing might be too much bike for my limited space and insurance budget, but my goal is buy a bike up in sudbury as they seem to dowble in price in toronto which is annoying and I'm up there for work anyway.
And cxman: Yeah, the bike is pretty beat up. I talked the fella down to a grand, and I'm going to try to give it a kick and see if there's compression, see if the clutch moves, drop a battery into it and see if there's any spark/ electrical response, etc... I'm trying to be pretty level headed about it, but I've wanted a 550 for a decade and have never had one, so I'm also kinda stoked. I am also kind of looking for someone to talk me out of it if I'm going to make a stupid purchase, tbh.
