I didn't really need to but just thought I'd try something different. Here's a link to what I traded for:

great looking bike .... just curious, not being familiar with it, how does its ride and performance compare to a Goldwing

Congrats. I am curious about the comparison myself.

Good lookin' scooter Jake, not a lot of miles for a 3 year old.
Not real crazy about that little add on, on top of the windshield.
First impressions after you ride it.
Milwaukee 8 engine, Right?

We'll, the wing was a 2008 before they went with the 6th gear. RPM's at 75 were pretty high in 5th gear. The Harley has a sixth gear and more torque in the bottom end . At 75 it's around 28k. Very comfortable on cruise control. The downside is it's heavier in the front end and takes more "heft" to corner. The wing wins cornering hands down but the Harley isn't bad. My gps went out on the wing and the Harley has more going for it like built in Bluetooth, nav, abs, and intercom. Plus buying used the previous owner had put in a lot of "bling" and comfort features. I'm happy with the trade off.

I dont think the wing came with 6th gear until 2018. Mine is 5 and its a 2013. But they upgraded the HP in 12 so mine has plenty of poop for me. It tachs higher than the Harleys Ive owned but a roll on in high gear the wing would run off and leave my last Harley.
