This is a pic of the GL1000 LTD sold in 1976. Honda went all out to celebrate their 25th year of bike production by building a bike that truely could be called a "custom". This Goldwing had lots of chrome not available on the std model, special gauges (black w/white numbers), and an engine said to be hand-chosen and specially balanced. Add to this the special leather tool kit and gold-anodized wheels and you are looking at 1 of 2000 very special bikes. This bike shows only 900 miles on the clock but does have some rust issues on the lower portion. Notice the Custom Candy Brown paint, never seen on another Honda. This 1976 model had the stepped seat that was standard on the 1977 and later model GL1000s. Although not appreciated by collectors at present, I bet this bike and it's sisters will find greater love in the future.
