[QUOTE="ndivita, post: 1232294, member: 593"] I could never bond with my 2008 Level III Gold Wing. I never liked the fact that it had a place for a CD player, a CB radio and fairing speakers. Who uses corded headsets in 2015? What is this, 1985? It ran great and its reliability is unquestioned. It will run all day every day. But it's heavy like a cow. Great low end torque. The stock suspension blows. It's like taking an RV out anytime you want to go anywhere. It's bloodless. Not visceral like a motorcycle should feel. It makes you feel old when you're not. I tried very hard to love it. I could not. The FJR can spoil a man. If you're going to ride two up most of the time it will keep your passenger quiet while you serve as the mahout. I guess I would rather ride a horse than operate a stage coach. I recognize these are mainly subjective points but we are talking about motorcycles after all, and you asked the question. [/QUOTE]
