odd you mention that. I had already worked out a deal with a dealer in OK city, Ok, on an 06 k1200 LT with 30k miles for $11,500. But after some soul searching, I couldn't do it. I saw some really good pictures of couples riding them. Something turned me off, not sure what it was...........looked a little Honda ST 1300'ish....more sport touring or something

Yes.................black cherry over raven

I kind of thought that would be the case with the passenger comfort. I am kind of hooked on torque. My GW had great torque, and the big Kawasaki is just ridiculous, and in fact is faster than my wing. But, if mama ain't happy, nobody's happy

Actually, it only has 5567 miles. I am afraid to tell someone where it is cause they would probably buy it.

I do not own a Royal Venture, and.....knowing nothing really about them from experience, I would say that it would not be my first choice as a tourer. The Gl 1800 would fill that bill for me...................But, that being said, I CANT AFFORD A GOLDWING. An 06 with decent miles cost about what I paid new for mine. (16,200) I had an 06 and sold it because of a home improvement loan, and bought a much less expensive Kawasaki VN2000 Classic LT, which I LOVE, but my wife....does not. I like her to ride with me, and she is still spoiled to the Wing. I have found an 08 with less than 10k miles. It is immaculate, but has nothing other than what came stock, for an even $10,000. This is a super deal IMO, but its 500 miles from me. So if I go, I have to buy it based on what I see, or have made a 1000 mile trip for nothing. A brief test ride will not tell me all I need to know, so I am asking for opinions, which granted, will have to be biased, I understand. I am concerned about power. I appears to me that only 1300 cc's for an almost 900 pound bike is reaching a bit. I am concerned about PASSENGER comfort. My Vulcan is very very comfy for me, but not particularly for my wife. I can only assume driver comfort would be great. Does anyone here have experience with both. Thanks
