Well, my wife has been lobbying for a more comfortable back seat so she can go on more trips. For 3 years she has suggested that a Goldwing would be the right bike. So I refer to the Wing as her bike and I am just the chauffeur!
It's a 2018 Honda Goldwing Tour. I opted to find a standard transmission after fully considering the DCT or automatic transmission. The standard gives the rider more control of the bike at low speeds and I have always had standard transmissions in my bikes so I am very comfortable with it. This is still a heavy bike at close to 800 lbs so better control is important to me. I have added a back rest for the driver(chauffeur} and a large cup holder for the passenger. Now I have company for my lunch rides to Calabash! The bike has 19,000 miles on it and these bikes easily travel 200,000 miles trouble free.
For my camping trips I will continue to ride the BMW R1200gsa and the Suzuki DR650, Things are a bit tight in the garage these days!
