Great shoot out. Why does the Victory remind me of a Salsbury motor-scooter? Whatever...

Haiku for you...
Sport bike wheelies bore,
Big rig wheelies cause giggles. Tell me why this is.

Well, 3/4 of a Luxury Touring Shootout
While the three bikes included are all very good rides in their own right, you know I have to point out that the Goldwing is about as American as the BMW K1200LT. Why the stretch to leave the big beemer out of the comparo?
Of course, having owned two of them, I might be carrying some small bias... My wife and I rode the teutonic fat girl to Colorado last summer from Miami, and comfortably completed about 6000 miles, getting as high as 57mpg (averaged about 47mpg) all in the lap of luxury. |

2. BMW didn't have an LT in its press fleet. 3. The LT is a bit long in tooth and is scheduled to be replaced within two years, probably with a V-6 engine (scroll near the bottom of this article: 2009 BMW S1000RR – A Closer Look - Motorcycle.com) 4. We only have three staffers/riders who live in SoCal. We'll call you next time around...  Have a fun and healthy '09, my friends! |

Nice article boys. It didn't tell me anything I didn't know already. The GW is the most comfortable mile eater ever made and always was. I also think if the E-Glide Ultra was chosen that the MSRP would be the cheapest of this bunch. Go figure with everyone always complaining that Harleys are so expensive.

I didn't want to mention the Victory 'Bad Vision' too much, but anyone that says those things are better looking in person than they are in pictures needs to see an optometrist ASAP.
