Edit: Having done my stealthy behind the green curtain work, I can confirm, this is in fact a Level 3 bike, so NO....ABS, (which is fine with a sidecar rig)

and it is located in Highland, California

Level 3 bike means it has the Premium Sound System, the Comfort Package of Heated Handgrips and Heated Seat, and the Navigation system.

That Black Cherry paint color from Honda holds up extremely well, and will not fade, so it will retain this color for its' entire lifetime.

While you were doing your stealth reconnaissance did you determine why it's priced so high?

Big Tom, the answer lays with the seller. Most people selling most things, whether it's a car, a house, a motorcycle, or a Sidecar rig, tend to believe their property is worth more than reality would suggest.

In the specific case of this 2008 Wing w/Hannigan GTL sidecar..... taking into consideration all factors....the seller is asking a price that is....at a minimum....priced $ 5,000.00 more than what it is worth.

'twer it mine, I would be asking $ 16,995.00, and hoping to get at least $ 15,000.00 for it, when all is said and done.

In this case, the seller is going to find a buyer with more money than brains/sidecar experience.....or the seller will lower the price to a valuation that makes sense.... for less dollars.

No matter how much the buyer pays, he or she will end up with a really nice rig.

In my experience, a buyer will evaluate a rig as good or bad based on how much fun it is, how reliable, and how pleasing it is to the eye.  The purchase price becomes ancient history.

Have owned 5 rigs but Rig #2 is my current one!

Just needs to drop another $1000 and he'll hit FlyingMonkeys target price. 

 

I still think that looks like a nice Wing/Hannigan combo.  And only 1100 miles away.  I could be there easily in three days.  Unfortunately, I've already experimented with a GL1800 and found the ergos don't work for me.  But, jeez, almost anybody under 6 feet tall would love this thing!

Miles, that’s looking pretty good when you place yours on the market.
