I recently had a "vehicle altercation", therefore am in the market to replace my '88 Goldwing. I was very close to making a decision between an '06 and '08 Wing, but was advised to look into the BMW. A guy I work with just traded in an '08 Wing for the 1200 GS and he claims the GS is a better long distance bike.
I really enjoyed my Wing, but is the BMW better for breakfast runs and 100-500 mile rides? (Did I mention I really enjoyed the Wing???) Also, is there a difference between the recent model 1200's ('05-'12)?
I'm looking for a comfortable ride with luggage capabilities and the potential for moderate twistys.
Thanks.
