[QUOTE="oldryder, post: 480195, member: 13916"] Theres really nothing better than having one of each. The goldwing is unsurpassed for long distance 2 up touring. I have the GL1500 and take a couple cross country trips per year with my daughters. Luggage capacity, intercom quality, and engine smoothness are all extraordinary. (I did upgrade the seat) On the minus side I'd call it a close equivalent to an RV for driving around town. I bought an FJR this spring (after a lot of research) specifically so I could have a bike to commute on for cold MN mornings and still be fun later in the day when it warms up. I'm not disappointed with the FJR. I know people tour, even 2 up, on the feejer. After being spoiled by the Wing I think I'd only tour x-country on the FJR one up and even then I know I'd be wishing for the wing anytime the road straightened out. A used GL1500 can be had for less than $5000. money well spent if you want to tour x-country in comfort and still have a fun bike to ride (FJR). keep it clean and nice and 20,000 miles later you can probably get your money back. my 2 cents [/QUOTE]
