What an awesome selection, PB! How did you decide which GoldWing you liked best?
I don't know about the performance of the 4 cyl 350, but late seventies, on a ride over San Marcos Pass (Santa Barbara to Solvang) I was 2 up on my CB750F, a friend 2 up on his CB550 and there was a huge difference in passing power.
Probably akin to the difference between an 883 and 1200 Sportster.

I had to cancel my visit last Saturday and reschedule it next month.
I have some concerns on adding a third bike?, but I will go to see them to cheer myself up for the spring season.
