Mpg- with mcruise activated, I get an easy 50mpg on straight level traveling, at 70mph, at least that’s what display says.
Luggage capacity- this is the one thing that keeps me from replacing my c14 with a wing. I have a Shad 50 liter trunk but still wish I had more room. Spend $28k on a bike that has less cargo room? No thanks.
On a related note, I fixed up my ‘91 Suzuki katana 1100 and found a luggage set in Germany. The bags are huge, bigger than the C14, at 42L. The trunk looks like 45L, meaning even this ancient sport tourer has more capacity than a wing.
Once you’ve gone a two week trip on a bike, you learn that there is no such thing as too much luggage space.
Yeah, my last trip on the Connie lasted 26 days. Luggage capacity wasn't really an issue, because when I ran out of clean stuff, I stopped and did laundry. I expect, I'll do the same on the wing. The wing is definitely more comfortable, and that's what wing riders are paying for for the most part. Had the Rostra cruise on mine, and just couldn't squeeze more MPGs out of the ol girl, but it didn't matter because I was having so much fun. LOL
An update on the DCT transmission. It's amazing. I got a feeling this is going to become a fundamental change to many brands of bikes.
