Was wearing my Kaplan Cycles t-shirt today up here in NH in an auto parts store and I got called out on my shirt by a nice lady. She said she and her husband were originally from Manchester CT and (I believe both) worked at Kaplan Computers for quite a few years. She had such warm words for Ken Sr. Too funny,,, New England is a small world!
Oh I know what bike that is. That's the grandfather of the gold wings. My dad had an 81 and it was so much fun to ride. I used to ride on the back with him. Ken Kaplan stepping back in time. I don't want a pickle. I want to ride my motorcycle. Absolutely awesome video. Ronnie, I love the burnout! Kaplan's cycles number one New England motorcycle museum Rockford Connecticut number one💯
To remove stereo cover: Use the key to open the gas cap cover Under the front lip of the faux-tank cover, press up on a small release tab. It is right in the center. Pull up on the stereo cover
Great Bike. I bought one, same color, for my dad. But he wasn't drive so much. I drive it the most of the time. My kids enjoy the ride in the backseat. Best touring bike ever! We sold it after one year, cause my dad was not intresstet and i have noch space in my garage. Lovely engin. Works so well....
When the GL1500/6 debuted in 1988, Honda only offered one trim level. No Interstate, no Aspencade, no LTD/SEi. Beginning in 1990, Honda did offer 3 trim levels with the mid-level Aspencade name-badge attached to the previously named Gold Wing 1500/6. The SE was the top-o-line Gold Wing featuring 2-tone paint, CB radio, foot warmer vents, vented windshield and several other exclusive features. The Interstate became the base and budget entry model. And as such, Honda deleted reverse, cruise-control and the AM/FM/Cassette radio. For the 1990 "Anniversary" model year, Honda did, however, retro-fit their surplus Hondaline Kenwood brand scooter stereo radio into the Interstate. The following year, since the stock of Kenwood radios dried-up, the Interstate did not include any stereo system. Any Gold Wing buyer who wanted a stereo radio set-up would need to consider spending more to buy an Aspencade or SE. But if the rider could do without some of the info-tainment & wanted a luxury cruiser that could ride the interstate all day long, then this Interstate is the Gold Wing ticket! Once again Ken, a fantastic video; Keep'em coming!
Beautiful, well kept up, and low mileage for it's age. Being that the bike is so big and bulky, I didn't think it was powerful enough at 100 horsepower to the rear wheel. I was definitely wrong. That bike is surprising with it's power and torque, that makes it move, quite well for the size of it. Great video. Thanks. ML&R
Man, I just bought one of your bikes from one of your previous customers. A 1985 V65 Honda Sabre. I made a youtube video of it. I was stoked. Keep up the good work.
my first bike was a yamaha venture 1200 rode that thing all over the back roads wide open with only back brakes lol traded a older zero turn mower i got for free for it

Still got my 1991 GL1500 runs fantastic I will never sell her😍
I ride a street glide but I’m also realistic. 😂. The Honda Goldwing is probably the best motorcycle ever made.

I used to take the piss out of these things so much when I was younger, now I’m seriously wanting one
My '99 GL1500 has 105,000 miles, still runs like new.
Best bike ever made.

Ultimate cruiser. It would be to cruise around on that bike. Sunny day, stereo blasting away.
That things a rocketship 😅
The Cadillac of minivans!
LMAO! And I own a GL1500 Valkyrie Tourer which I typically described as a 2 wheel Buick from the 1950's!

Kenny - your dad is a treasure. God I love him.
My 82 Goldwing Aspencade was the best motorcycle I have ever owned, and I have owned a bunch!
I like the old gold wings better then the new ones!
Was not kidding about a -Quick- riding demo. They sure go. 🏍💨💨💨

Lmao hell yeah, bad ass intro and burnout
I'd honestly love to have that bike if I had time to use it. You can't find a better bike to see America on and 91 was as good as they ever were.
Go onnn Ken, try and wheelie that yoke.
Man, I just bought one of your bikes from one of your previous customers. A 1985 V65 Honda Sabre. I made a youtube video of it. I was stoked. Keep up the good work.
Very cool!
The Winnebago of motorcycles.
ShadeTree!
100hp wow for a sport tourer that’s more than my bandit 1200 N
🐝🏁 Video 👍 love the burnout 👌
Красивый мотоцикл
man that things got some power
Your trying to sell it and doing holeshot's with it, nice.
Inspired by the Chevrolet Corvair.
i love goldwings i know i say all the time it's true.
seems like Tach is not working
It really does sound good though
That what i.m taking about burn out.
my first bike was a yamaha venture 1200 rode that thing all over the back roads wide open with only back brakes lol traded a older zero turn mower i got for free for it
This bike is not for punks!
How much does that weigh 2,000 lbs
My bandit 1200 weights 500lbs wet but I’m only 135lbs I don’t think I could pick this up if I dropped it 😂
I don't get the point of screens like that
If you need to be that protected from the outside on a motorbike then just get a bloody car
The screen, like the rest of the bike, is designed for all-day high-speed touring, day after day after day.
ya but it cant do a wheelie no it needs a rear tire lol
You look like you've lost a some of weight recently.
Yes 20 lb
