Are there better years than others? If so, what are the years to stay away from and what are considered the better years? When I say this, I'm refering to leaking, maintainace and engine displacement. Also, how many miles is to many miles?

 

Every year is a better year, 06's ROCK! The refinements are very gradual.[sm=boink3.gif]

 

Work with me BH!

Same here. September!

 

Think he means the bikes get better with every year.

Emisions are supposed to be bad on '06 with bikes running way too lean and add ons for exhaust systems to get them to pass EPA rules. '05s werent much better on running lean.

'06 comes with a reduced effort clutch. '07 is rumored to have bigger motors and 6 speed trany's

Pick a bike that you like at a price that you like and go for it. Yes, the factory changes are gradual and there is no such thing as standout years. There are bikes that stand out because someone has made them stand out. Bikers tend to customize their bikes anyway. Kind of a personal thing. Even the bikes from the AMF years when quality was down have a certain appeal nowadays. You just find what you like and make it your own.

 

Exactly right. After these are off the dealer's floor for a few months, no two are ever alike.

p.s. i know several goldwing riders, who swear that 200.000 miles is only just getting broken in.

p.p.s. my old 83 wing had 83000 on her b4 i traded, zero problems.

 

1999 & 2000 have cam bearing problems. 1999, 2000 and 2001 have Marelli fuel injector. Later models have the better Delpi fuel injector.
