Modern GoldWings, including the 2018, seem to be a little more bike than I want to deal with from a either a mass or money standpoint. Is a CB1100 with bags and a shield going to solo tour reasonably well, or am I likely to regret this?
I only do 1-2 (multi day) long rides per year. Most of my riding is in south east Texas, vainly in search of curvy roads....
I have both 1976 Wing with a Windjammer and a corbin seat and a 2013 CB1100 with a corbin as well. A couple of friends and I do a 2500 mile tour of WV and area each year. I took the Wing in 2016 and the CB last year. Now all I have on the CB is a small bikini fairing on the CB. IF you like twisty roads the the CB is the way to go. From a comfort perspective the corbin on the Wing is wider and longer so the Wing wins there. Weather protection goes to the Wing.
Hope this helps.
