Thinking about shaking the fleet up a bit and getting a touring bike maybe in next 6 months. Let's say $8-12K. Looking at used K1600 or Gold Wing.
What would you get and why?
I'm not afraid to work on older bike. I will say I find fairings on the R100RTP and K1300S rather tedious
I am big guy both in height and width - I can flat foot a GSA and my FLHP has the police seat, 2" forward floor boards and a 1.5" rear brake pedal
Not sure if Comfy or Fast is most important, but both must be in abundance.
Current stable has little of everything Rocket3, GSA, Harley Tourings, a K1300s and, just for fun, KZ1000P & R1100RTP project bikes
Would would like the "scare you poo-less" of the K1300S, the ability to stretch out like the FLHP, and the easy handling of the GSA
