I need your opinions

Yeah, MUCH better to be poked in the ribs.

 

You must have the low end model ....mine pounds on the Helmet and shouts recalculating in my ear, over balanceing the bike in the process:backinmyday:

I'm going to give you an unbiased opinion from a friend of mine. We went to high school together and started riding honda 65's in 1967. He bought a 1999 goldwing a few years ago and we have taken many trips together. He sold the gold wing this summer and he called and wanted to know if he could come by with his wife and ride my venture. I told him sure and they did but he didn't seem impressed. He has been looking for a newer goldwing since. He called me this week and said he bought a 2007 venture. He said he had never had a bike that was so comfortable and he was more thrilled with the venture than any bike he has owned. He then said he couldn't believe the power the venture has and that he believes the 1300cc venture will out run any 1500cc goldwing. His wife also said she like the room she has on the venture and doesn't get the buffeting she got on the goldwing. I was surprised. I thought he was sold on the goldwing.

Cycle world just picked it as a "best used bike". I agree with their assessment. Ron:080402gudl_prv:

Yah ediddy, I tried a 'Wing the afternoon before I bought the '09. It was a no brainer...l
