Nope, just sounds like an expensive motorbike.

And I don't like the panel at all!  Looks like a 1960 Mercedes Benz panel.

Not sour grapes.  Just can't see the value for the money.  When Goldwings get electric screens (as they must soon) it will remove the main obstacle to buying one instead, and getting Honda value and reliability.

When going around the block on my 88 Wing I passed one being loaded on to a trailer somewhere I think between There Ways and Katherine!!!!
After riding Saaz's SE Trophy back from Derby it would be interesting to compare it to the BMW, obviously not as powerful but very well optioned.

Looks so much better in the flesh - must get a pic of the one I see at Port Pirie next time I see it at the café. Looks about the same size as the 1100.
