My ST1300 is a thing of beauty and a joy forever, but I hear a GoldWing calling me. I wonder if anyone here has made the upgrade.
My challenge is that I don't do long rides as often as I'd like, partly because I'm stuck on an island here. There are some great rides here, but not many choices. That leaves me riding around town a bunch in between.
The ST1300 is magnificent at low speed. I can almost do feet-up stops at lights. I can turn it around in two parking stalls. Stop-and-go in traffic is no big deal. Would I go nuts with a GoldWing in town?
Also, to park I have to roll in, do a slow, tight, 120-degree left turn, then back it into the garage. Doesn't look as if that's a big deal, with a reverse gear, but is the turning circle as advertised, and can I learn to do that move with ease? I'm sure many of you face tougher parking challenges than that.
