How Difficult Is It To Ride A Gold Wing?

Great balance and low center of gravity make the difference
The Gold Wing is not for beginners but if you have some time in the saddle it is a great bike. I have had a number of motorcycles throughout the years and my most recent one was a Harley Road Glide CVO. I find what makes the Gold Wing great is the liquid cooled motor and a much lower center of gravity than the Harley. That is why so many of the comments relate to the bike as a sport bike, with the lower center of gravity it handles like a dream in the turns. I was recently in the North Carolina mountains with some fellow bikers on their Harley's. They could not keep up with the Gold Wing on the mountain roads and after a day of riding I was still ready to go. With all the features on the 2018 GW, it surpasses the top of the line Harley's at every level, for a much lower price. After 7 years of owning the Harley and over $14,000 in warranty work on the bike, I am very happy to be the owner of a low maintenance motorcycle. I believe this to be the best overall motorcycle in the touring class.
