Hi everyone,
This is my first post here. I'm looking to buy a touring bike but I can't decide between the Goldwing, Honda ST1300, and the Yam FJR1300. My first "instinct" tells me to buy the Yamaha FJR 1300 because it's more of a sport-touring bike, but I love looking at the Goldwing because it's so "substantial" looking, like you are really getting something for your money.
I would mostly use the Goldwing for short weekend trips of maybe 200 to 500 miles. Not really for long distance touring for the most part. In addition I think I would want a bike allows me to have some fun on the back road twisties to some extent but not interested in dragging my knees, etc. I don't want to feel like I'm driving a car or something so heavy that I don't dare gas it once in a while.
So given these things, is a 2005 Goldwing the right bike for me? I don't have a lot of experience lately with many different bikes so it's hard for me to tell which bike is right for me.
Any advice is greatly appreciated!
-Chris.
