My next bike?

RE: My next bike?
Looks like my Goldwing Fever is catching on Deej - do yourself a huge favor and go ride the current generation (03+)... then start looking for a used one. It is 100x the bike that one you just posted is - which is not a bad bike either. But seriously - go take one for a ride. You would be doing yourself a major dis-service if you didn't, prior to buying that one you posted.

Current generation GWs with a flat 6 1800cc engine get 40 to 45 cruising about 75. They weigh about 825 lbs wet - but they are so well balanced that as soon as you get it above about 5mph, all that weight seems to vanish, and you can slalom the bike using just your pointer and thumb on each bar end. It truly is one of the best engineered bikes available. It puts all previous incarnations to shame.

There is a you tube video somewhere, I'll have to find the link, of a dude railin the dragon on a GW, and keeping up with the sportbikes.
Seems big, but they are actually quite nimble and powerful. I haven't owned a newer one, but my buddy does. Sro is right. An amazing piece of machinery. Only thing I don't like, is I like to feel the wind on my face and body, etc....And those things you don't. It's almost like being in a car. lol....
