This is a '79 model with the 1000CC engine. Still does everything it was designed to do.


They can be had for a song too. That one might bring $1000 bucks on good day.

Something to think about.

Wullie, that naked GW looks SWEET! It's got me hankering for one. I had a friend who had an early one about that year or so, naked like that. Really nice bikes. Brings back memories....

Love that Knuckle is mighty fine too --- though I wouldn't wish a knuckle on anybody that didn't have some grease in their veins....

That's why I started on the Japanese bikes....all my Harley buddies were busy in the garage wrenching while we were out riding! A riding buddy used to call his shovelhead, the "troublehead".

That changed a lot, though when HD came out with the EVO motor. Great motor, very reliable as they go.
