OFFERED WITHOUT RESERVE
Positioned above the Interstate and Aspencade, the 1985 Honda GL1200 Limited Edition is a one-year-only trim with exclusive features. Riding dynamics drastically improved upon the previous mentioned trims featuring Honda’s Computerized Fuel Injection (CFI) system, auto-leveling rear suspension, multi-function trip computer, and electronic cruise control – creature comforts for the modern cowboy.

The bike was then moved around to various Honda dealerships, and my father-in-law saw it in the window of a dealership in Montana while touring on his Interstate. Pulled in, traded in the Interstate on the spot, and rode the Gold Wing back to New Mexico!"
