Look the Gold Wing is fine and all, but what about the GoldWing?

[@dennisclevenger5000]

As a 64 year old retired mason my back isn't good and I find I can lean forward a lot easier on a sportbike than sitting on my tail bone on a cruiser. After an hour on a cruiser I'm a cripple for 3 days adventure bikes aren't bad but I'm most comfortable on a sportbike

[@HawgRiderBC]

As a 40+ year Harley rider, I have to admit that I absolutely love my S1000XR. I'm hoping to get the M1000XR in a year or 2, once I get used to the 160hp version.

[@PitbullSoco]

Goldwing only good for long miles in a straight line? 😂 I beg to differ lol. Many reviewers have touted how well you can throw a goldwing around twisties. Its literally designed like a larger sport touring bike. Great lean angle for its size, low center of gravity, its definitely better than just knocking down miles in a straight line lol

[@High_Octane]

nah

[@josephfoster5593]

I’ve never ridden a gold wing but whenever I hear someone say that I always think of it like someone saying a raptor handles well. Like yeah it does for a truck, but it’s still a truck.

[@Luismys]

For the number of combinations, just multiply the amount of option for each adjustable item. For example, 2 seat options, 2 handle bar options, and 2 foot peg options will yield 8 possible combinations. Works similar for lottery, combination locks, etc. (don't forget that 0 is also an option).

[@shawnshurtz9147]

Yeah, zero is not an option in this situation. Removing handlebars, seats, or footrests doesn't seem safe.

[@danecroasdale4914]

I can attest to the comfort and quality of the V-Strom 1050. It's tech package is more than adequate and while not the most powerful in the class, the lovable v-twin engine and predictable handling make it a great dependable option for touring without completely obliterating your wallet.

[@mainebiker]

I have a Victory Cross as the name implies an outstanding touring bike with comfort being second to none.

[@patricksandeberg8184]

Those bikes are all nice. But among comfortable bikes I’d have the Moto Guzzi Mandello 👌🏾

[@rleerm]

Yammy, you don't mention it explicitly: The most important comfort factor is seating position (angles back/knees/arms/ankles, and arm reach). That's why ADVs sell like cupcakes. The versys 650 has the exact same seating position as the versys 1000.

[@sleeper.simulant7327]

I personally don’t find super upright bikes like ADV’s as the most comfortable. I like a little forward lean. The Ninja 1000SX, for me, blows the Versys 1000 out of the water in terms of comfort… that little forward lean it has tucks me in just right…

[@mrvwbug4423]

@@sleeper.simulant7327 You do get a little extra knee bend on the Ninja 1k, but I did ride both the Versys 1k and Ninja 1k back to back and still found the Ninja comfortable enough to be an all day ride. The Ninja might be less fatiguing to ride as it is much easier to handle at lower speeds than the much taller Versys. The big Versys is a barge at low speeds, the Ninja just feels like a comfy sportbike.

[@knockitoffhudson3470]

Yeah but cruisers are better, anything where you can lay back and put your feet up is gonna be comfier.

[@rleerm]

@@knockitoffhudson3470 I read you. Unfortunately, at 1.92m tall with lower back spine issues and a double neck hernia, sitting upright with hollow back is the only way for me, 'couch-sitting' is painful on the long run. Plus: I need a saddle that allows changing seat position and stretching once in a while. Also, forward controls and a low-seated bike do not allow easily to stand up straight to stretch. I won't stop riding 😎🤘

[@sleeper.simulant7327]

@@knockitoffhudson3470 that kills my lower back and rear end. A little forward lean so you have some pressure on your arms, some on your torso and some on your rear end I personally find to be a lot comfier for long rides…

Sold my Versys 1000 for a Triumph Tiger 1200 GT Pro ... much more comfortable imo and a LOT more fun engine ...

[@johnpatterson2039]

The new 2024 Streetglides are smooth ngl but the V-twins shake especially the twin cams. Twin can sound damn good but shake like a bi*** and also VRods with proper exhaust is 👌🏻 but as a street biker the only one I really like is the VRods which most Harley folks be hating on which is crazy to me.

I'm 43 and have back issues so comfort is high on my list. Definitely can't argue with the goldwing and the K1600 - ridden them both and could definitely crush a TON of miles on them. I know you hate all things bagger on this channel, but your bias is def showing when you've got a v-strom near the top for comfort and not a single HD or Indian bagger lol. Yes, most of them are quite slow by 2-wheeled standards, though my Challenger's 122hp/128tq certainly gets the big girl going, and comfort is pretty much the #1 concern... why else would they all be ridden by old guys? lol other than just because they're expensive

[@mrvwbug4423]

So, cruisers and baggers are not in fact as comfortable as people think they are. Forward controls combined with low seat height shift your weight onto your tailbone, causing low back pain. Cruisers are actually bad if you have issues with back pain. The Challenger is a little taller than most baggers, which does mitigate the effect a bit. It's also the only bagger where the performance matches what I would actually want from a bike like that, the rest are just painfully underpowered.

[@mrvwbug4423]

Forward controls are still always going to put pressure on your tailbone, that ultra bougie HD seat just makes it take longer for the low back pain to start. Baggers might even be worse about it as the boards are usually higher up than the pegs on a typical cruiser.
