First let me say, that I have owned all of the motorcycles, but this is not my comparison nor my opinion. This a direct comparison done by Bikez at http://www.bikez.com/bike/rating.php?idbike=21089 . You simply put in the bikes that you want to compare and it gives you the statistics. As I own a 2005 RSV, I compared it directly to the 2005 BMW K1200LT, Honda Goldwing (ABS model), and Harley Ultra Classic Electra Glide. I was shocked at the results. I will not list "Off Road Capabilities" or "Race Track", as neither is pertinent to any of these bikes. I am listing all of the other results, which you can verify by going to the site and comparing for yourself. The score is based on a 100 scale. Overall Rating 1.RSV 79.4 2.BMW 74.7 3.Honda 76.1 4.Harley 71.9 Engine Performance 1.RSV 89.6 2.BMW 83.6 3.Honda 85.2 4.Harley 75.5 Reliability 1.RSV 90.5 2.BMW 84.0 3.Honda 87.2 4.Harley 82.7 Fun Factor 1.RSV 88.4 2.BMW 84.2 3.Honda 79.4 4.Harley 88.9 *The only time the RSV was not ranked highest Value for the Money 1.RSV 89.5 2.BMW 70.3 3.Honda 76.9 4.Harley 70.9 Repair/Maintenance 1.RSV 89.8 2.BMW 68.9 3.Honda 72.5 4.Harley 60.7 Design and Look 1.RSV 95.0 2.BMW 84.5 3.Honda 82.7 4.Harley 93.6 Touring Capabilities 1.RSV 94.0 2.BMW 91.6 3.Honda 90.5 4.Harley 93.0 Accident Risk 1.RSV 88.6 2.BMW 88.5 3.Honda 85.4 4.Harley 82.4 Again, all of the categories and ratings were taken directly from their site. If Yamaha would add fuel injection and a reverse to the RSV, it could be the perfect bike. That is all that I miss from my Wing and BMW. The only thing I am missing from my Harley is the expensive repair bills, even when it was under warranty. So what are your opinions of this comparison?
