    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 ...
    Currently in the Stable :
    2002 Honda Goldwing GL1800 Sunburst Pearl Orange
    1983 Suzuki GS850 GL Blue & Black

          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.
              MY BIKES..1977 GS 750 B, 1978 GS 1000 C (X2)
              1978 GS 1000 E, 1979 GS 1000 S, 1973 Yamaha TX 750, 1977 Kawasaki KZ 650B1, 1975 Honda GL1000 Goldwing, 1983 CB 650SC Nighthawk, 1972 Honda CB 350K4, 74 Honda CB550

              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.
