I am a Harley man, period. (I own one Honda:rofl)
IMHO the Gold Wing is the best thing that ever happened to Harley Davidson. In reality I think its popularity and sales "nudged" HD to improve their machines. Hence that is what I like about a Gold Wing. Honestly though, I have never rode one...so I'm clueless about them for the most part.
I got talked into a goldwing had it for 6 months decided I want a harley I am to big for the gold wing looking at a 2011 ultra limited
