Motorcycle riders on the forum...I bought a different bike! - MacArtist - 05-03-2011
I really liked the ST1300. Plenty of power. Nice for 1 up riding. But after about 2 hours of riding, it is painful on the bum. I tried different seats but outside of spending $700 for a custom made seat; there isn't much I could do.
The older I get, the more comfortable I want to be on a bike. You can't get much more comfortable than a Gold Wing.
Plush seat, cruise control, music from the iPod. It's great.
Excessive? Maybe a bit.
Now it's really difficult to stay working in the office when all I want to do is play hookey and go for a ride.
Planning a trip to ride into Canada this year. Can't wait!
And yes...that's a lot of chrome.

Holy @#$!! That things bigger than my Austin Healey (probably has better straight line performance too).

Price range starting at $24,000 on up to $28.500 for top of the line including first airbag for cycle? Seems like a lot of money for two wheels?

I've been toying with the idea of getting maybe a 89 GL1500, stripping it down, supercharging it, then custom body work. The ultimate bike for the super slab.
I've seen them for under $4k lately.
Cheers!

2 wheels for more than both my vehicles combined.

I don't think I've ever seen that much chrome on a gold wing.
Nice cruiser.
That is a lot of chrome - keep it water spot free. :-)

Beautiful! Just Beautiful! Now go and join a Goldwing forum. This was recommended to me here and I also highly recommend it.

Does it come complete with a pop-tent?
