Those are (mostly) all good choices. I would toss out the Vulcan 900. I owned a Vulcan 900 Classic and I really thought it was working too hard at speeds north of 65mph. It's a great ride on the...

I must have a unique sense of beauty. I love the way the Victory's look. Victory pushes the envelope and creates something unique with their brand. In February, I bought a Goldwing, but I was darn...

You are kind of negative, aren't you? Sounds like you also might take yourself a tad too serious. Relax, they are just motorcycles.

That's the deal, I have no idea if the vents were open or not. It was a test drive and I (dumbly) didn't check to see if there were lower vents to help deal with it.

MadBrit, first off, love the bike. Second, how is the leg heat on the Vision? I almost bought a XCT, but the test drive fried the legs of both me and my passenger. Is it any better on the Vision?

I'm glad you brought up height. I'm 6' and the Wing fits me like a glove. However, if I were 2 or more inches taller, I'd get Vision or XCT no questions asked.

Goldwings shouldn't have the right to handle as well as they do. I can throw it around easier in the twisty bits than I could my (top-heavy) Concours.
