Touring bike = Gold Wing
HD
Have looked at both and have rode the new BMW 1600 GTL and liked it but a lack of dealer support in my area and the maintenance costs on the bike are too much for me.The goldwing just didn't feel like a good fit for me.As far as the Harley touring bikes, you should really ride one before you make an assumption about them. I was quite suprised about the comfort and ride quality and the price is very comporable and the dealer support is very good. I will say that I do not care for the batwing fairing as it seems to add too much weight on the forks but the frame mounted fairing on the roadglide handled great and just seemed like a better fit for me. To each his own.
Found out it is just not the bike for me, will probably go with a touring cruiser.Am asking my payoff of 14,500. I have added the Corbin trunk,fender extender,bar risers with GPS mount, tank protector, bag protectors, Cox radiator guard, and Grip puppies. Bike has under 1000 miles on it and has had the 600 mile service already performed.Bike has not been dropped or wrecked. Bike is located in southwest Ohio near Dayton, Ohio. If interested I will give you more contact information.
