I been wanting a Goldwing since I started riding again 3 1/2 years ago. I bought a Suzuki Volusia in 01. Its been a great bike but the fact is I was born to ride a Goldwing. I ride two up 80 % of the time and need the room and power. Want to do some extended trips. Want to keep ahead of them dam buses on the GSP in the summer. Camping, touring,cruising.
I'm tossed between the goldwing and the bmw 1200 touring machine. Last saturday we looked at both, First the beemer then the wing. Their both beautiful. I was suppose to take a test ride this Saturday but we have a ton of new snow. And it 2% outside so it doesn't look like that will happen.
Which one should I get and why. My biggest complaint on the wing thus far is the closeness of the foot peg to the seat. I'm 6'2 260 lbs. I feel a little crampted but I have only sat on it. I plan on getting them lit floorboards that adjust. What about the abs. Is it something I will regret not getting.
What about after market seats. I have a mustang seat on the suzuki and its very comfortable. What the best seat on a wing. What should I look for.
