Thanks MTC, I do plan on riding your way next spring/summer. My son lives in Hoffman estates area.
I will take a look at the new gold wing, I'll probably have to go to a dealer somewhere else as the two near me don't allow test rides. From what I've read so far the gw is still a touring bike vs the sport touring bmw. But I'll keep an open mind when shopping.
I did ride a GT last summer, I was totally impressed! One of the main differences between the gt and gtl I read was seat height, so I'll have to check that out. I loved the sound of the GT, not sure how the GTL sounds.
My plan to get it early spring so I can get in a full season of riding...but the windshield, heated seat, heated grips should extend the season.
