I know, odd question.
I have gone through 10 different bikes in the past 3 years, and none are what I consider 'comfortable' rides. Certainly nothing over 150 miles without squirming and cursing.
Today I took my ST1100 out for a 250 mile spin and decided it may not work for me, and I'm not looking to blow $1000 to get it semi-comfortable. The old 83 GL1100 sitting dead in my driveway is infinitely more comfy.
So what is the experience of a GL1100? Is the engine buzzy, does it have any power, does it need constant fiddling to run right, is it top heavy? Any guts with two up passing a slow Volvo on a hill?
