That's a nice one! I had one new that I drove cross country while in the Navy and it was the same color. I bought it from Honda of Berkley in 76 for $2341.00 out the door. Later I put on a Voyager Winger fairing and a Trip Truck and it ended up getting 53 miles to the gallons doing 70 at times. I miss it now and it had SW rear shocks and an air co kit on the front forks. I completely restored it and sold it for $400. That's all I could get for it years ago. Now I wish i still had it. Once you tune those carbs it will run like a top.
I had a sandcast 1969 CB750 when these came out in 75. Went to my local Honda dealership (Sunnyslope Honda in Phoenix Az) and took one for a ride (Thanks John Miller!). It made my 750 feel like a P.O.S. compared to this. It was hard for me to give it back. My test ride was over a half hour long. They were a little upset when I brought it back. Sold the sandcast in the early 80's with over 100,000 miles on it. Just bought a used 75 Goldwing.
Always amazed what bike you have always liked the first generation wings.they look like a bike not like today's models but hay.diffrent stokes for different folks
I was just given one fully dressed it was made in 04 of 75 last of vin is 399 tags went out 04 85 OD 17553 miles don't know much about the bike no scratches still has tool bag and kickstart as well. Need help with motor
Just a note check that drive shaft universal joint out before you ever buy one of these cuz that is a hard one to fix if that thing's bad universal joint is non-serviceable so you better be good with machine work

You don't have a "road-worthy" bike until you replace the tires. Old, hard tires will get one killed.
Yes japan builds amazing stuff, this bike is just one of the many amazing pieces that they built
Mine was made in Canada same bike, wiring harness from Mexico nothing on it is from Japan
Have one in my garage. Exactly like this one
I love the look of a naked GL1000.
I’ve actually got the 82nd gl1000 ever made. Super rough but I had to get it due to the serial number

I just checked the vin # on my 75 gl1 1000 0088 did not really what i had.
Heh heh.. the cracking is period correct for the year. Beautiful Bike.
I own one that I'm trying to restore. Same color.
Quality lasts
i just got one of these for free its a little rough but i might give it away its too heavy for me haha
This is probably a KO not a k1
I run one carburetor on my 1975 gl1000
"Multiples" of $5k?

Well come on, it obviously doesn't run on all 4 pots, at least not at idle.
Sounding the horn won't improve matters either :)
I'M not 100% but 99.9% sure. 74 was first ?????
