The name of this blog is currently “Chris’s Goldwing Blog” and that’s a pretty accurate name as far as most of it”s content currently goes but I have a problem.
I love my Goldwing better than any bike I have owned to date although I have done many more miles on other bikes, none has come close to the all-round road going performance of the Goldwing. Yes, “all-round” is what I said, although I modified it with “road going” by which I meant paved (metalled) roads. It’s fast comfortable and handles like a dream. If it wasn’t such an expensive bike, I’d take it to a track and turn it loose but replacing any of the Tupperware is likely to cost a bomb and I am just not going to risk it.
So – what’s the problem? Simply this, I already have another bike – the ZZR and am about to acquire a third, the F 800 GS. Neither of these resembles a Goldwing in any shape or form so if I write about them am I going to disappoint the masses who, misled by the name of the blog, came looking for thoughtful stuff on the ‘wing
I dunno, but Chris’s Bike Blog has a certain ring to it so I might just make that change one morning..
Meanwhile, I am having to think about selling the ZZR, I am running out of space in my garage and I am afraid there is really only one answer. So for anyone in search of a great sports tourer at a very reasonable price – make me an offer!
