There are times when people need help in seeing the error of their ways. This is another one of those occesions where I feel I am able to help !
Whether anyone here likes them or not... A) nobody sells as many of anything as Honda has that model without it having it's own merits to many people. B) It's Your Money C) Live Free Or Die...
My wife mentioned a goldwing a while back for the armchair on the back, [/QUOTE] I had the loan of a mates in Seattle a couple of years back. Had it for 3 weeks, traveled down the Pacific why, great bike, it had 110k miles on it & purred like a kitten, loved it....but not for the UK. Anyway, my wife hated it by the end, she said the "armchair" was more like a birthing chair & felt like she was walking a out like Wyatt Earp! Lol.
Later models leave me totally bored and disinterested but the first models GL1/GL2 from the 1970's is a great bike and in its day the only thing that could beat it on performance was the Kwacker Z1.
