Here's another pic reveal of 1300 that he claims is an 83.

Here is a pic.

Stranger. I have not seen the bike. Will check it out in a few weeks. He claims the po before him had it for a long time and he has not had it for very long. In his ad the bike is what you guys call here a blonde, so it's the cream colored two tone but has 1300 on chrome cover. He says it's an 83. I don't believe it runs and he is going to check the mileage on it when he gets back to his storage. He lives 40 min from where he has it stored.

Thanks for the info. In his pics he sent me, the chrome part on side of engine shows 1300 and he says it's a 1300 , so what year is it? Or as mentioned above, did someone change clutch cover with 1300 on it?

Nice skills , especially for such a large bike. Well done. First video very cool. That's what I want to do someday. Break the redundancy of everyday grind and explore. I'm fortunate to have the summers off , so no excuses for me.

I really want the venture. He says its a 1300cc but i thought the 83 was a 1200cc?

I have looked and looked and cannot find an 85 with correct serial #. This deal would be really nice, as I will be trading straight across. I have a restored 1980 Gl1100 goldwing that i'm willing to part with. probably put around $1500 into it but I'm ready for the yamaha.

Thanks guys. I will definitely wait on cowpuc to help me decide. I am really excited !! I have always loved the design of the 83, don't care for the re-design later on, as the bags are too big. I like the smaller bag design and love the 2 tone color scheme ( cream/gold). If cowpuc gives me the green light, what else do I need to look for when purchasing. I guess he will tell me. Thank you

Hello everyone. New here and I have a unique opportunity. I can acquire a 1983 but the 2nd gear is out. also the owner says there is some damage to frame from battery leakage which I'm not concerned about. I have always wanted one of these bikes. It looks like its been stored inside and all parts are there. I can do a straight across trade as i have an old goldwing he wants. what would you do. I dont want to fix the 2nd gear and can this bike ride okay without it. thanx for your help
