    Still want to try to ride one!!!
    An entirely different kind of ride..
    Sporty for a BIG bike - but designed for long hauls.
    Strong enough to pull your arms , but not race bike like...
    My invitation stands...come on out and ride one ..I have 3 in my garage right now..
    And ONE is for sale ...

                Yes, they do have an "adequate" amount of torque. Maybe not quite enough to pull a train, but lifting the front wheel is not out of the question.

                Ha Ha that guy is nuts... Peppy enough. Of cource one doesn't buy a Goldwing for Warp capabilities. But I've ridden with Don (wake air) and I had a hard time keeping up, with my Bandit 1200 on the twisties.

                        I think my 75 GL1000 is a tad over 500 LBS bare naked.

                        NEVER SNEAK UP ON A SLEEPING DOG..NOT EVEN YOUR OWN.


                        I would rather trust my bike to a "QUACK" that KNOWS how to fix it rather than a book worm that THINKS HE KNOWS how to fix it.

                            That guy is nuts, saw that many years ago.

                            Can always use it as a tow truck as well...
