Thankfully i was able to pick up a 2022 6MT Tour in black/black a few months back. These machines are an amazing ride and the pinnacle of touring comfort.... Just another casualty in the war against "global warming".

For fuck sakes, they’re a small car now, what with the stop sign kickstand and the trunk that looks like an Accord trunk. Oh, and reverse. Probably have A/C too.

They have reverse on motorcycles? Wow, I had no idea that was a thing.

They're like 800+ lbs dry weight

Try backing that up a slight incline

I have a Harley Road Glide. It seems to be much more maneuverable than my Harley Fat Bob in parking lots. Once I got used to it it’s actually very nimble. I’m sure the Goldwing is the same. All the engineers have to do is get the geometry right with regard to Center of gravity and the fork rake and trail and you’ve got a bike you can swing around no problem even when it weighs 800 lbs.

That sucks.

I think I would rather have a Triumph anyway, though... although I bet the last Goldwings are the nicest riding bikes there are in the universe.

I have my eye on the Triumph Thruxton. If I get the money then it’s a done deal.
