I don't have to spend 5k in extra crap to get it to ride right. It just goes from the factory. My DCT would eat a CVO all day. For half the price. No tuners needed.

I would do that to my son on his Yamaha 650. Then he finally bought an older Goldwing for fun. He called me after an 800 mile Saturday and said, "Now I understand how you could do that to me." LOL And I was in the lap of comfort and luxury the entire time. LOL

No, not even close. Kph for kph out of my 5 toys it's the easiest to pull on. Cars included. Jeep SRT get a bit squirelly unless road is dead flat and smooth. Alfa GTA has a 1.7 lock to lock steering rack, great for twisties, not fast sweepers. One tap on the wheel and your in the next lane. R1...... Say no more, you gotta be on point 24/7 with that weapon. There is no off button on that weapon. VFR1200F any easy long haul bruiser. However, easy to confuse that iconic sports tourer for a actual sports bike. Don't! At 270kg you will find out very quickly it is not. Attack with caution. Which brings me to the wing. Takes straight aways and sweepers with absolute ease. Just hold onto the throttle and without realising, you've run out of speedo. Not a care in the world. Literally. Sweepers, sure, not off the dial, but up there. Tighter stuff? Yeah, you'll hear the pegs grind away from time to time. I don't aim to, but it's nice to know it leans over with confidence and warning before things go pear shaped. I've taken the wing to speeds on roads I never felt comfortable taking a 300kph super sports. I ran out of road on my wing long before I ran out of confidence on my R1. It's that stable. Something apparently K1600GTL guys don't have the luxury off.

Bought a 2022 CB500X that Honda claims will do 114 MPH with light weight Asian riding it. Reason why, it weighs half of what your Goldwing weighs, and I can verify it will do 105 MPH with a little throttle left on US interstate, but never again. A thought, five weeks after my son bought a new Suzuki V Strom 650, a guy in SUV made a left turn from a stop sign as he was making a left on the street the SUV was leaving. The SUV caught the rear tire sending the bike out of control into a concrete four inch post in the tree lawn. It did over $7,000 of damage to his bike but he was lucky; he went over the bike onto the sidewalk and broke the sun shade his helmet and only sprained his wrist. That dime is a 126.6-foot stopping distance from 60 mph plus reaction time. Ride like you're invisible, and stay safe.
