I have always loved goldwings ever since I was a teen. There is a really really nice and shiny and clean 77 Goldwing for sale at a pawnshop near me. Looks awesome. Cream colored. Is not full dress, just the standard GL1000 that was for sale in 77.

They are asking 899 BUT the bike does not run.

The deal was that they took the bike in on pawn and it was running fine but after the 3 months, the bike won't start up. They tried the standard stuff, starting fluid, etc and it still won't fire up.

Just how complex of beasts are those bikes and should I consider buying it (after offering quite a bit less cash)?

I believe it only has about 10k in miles.
