Wings are deceivingly quick. The CG is very low, and while there's a bunch of weight to handle, the motor has a ton of torque and moves it much faster than people expect. Once you realize the lean angle is pretty good, you can really turn up the wick on a Wing. I've posted about 6k miles on an 1800. Fun ride!

At the time, my main ride was a V65 Sabre, just for a point of reference.

Very Nice Ride! I've ridden Wings for about 10 years now. Started when I was 12, road legally on the road since 13 in Arkansas as a kid. The Goldwing is the ultimate comfort bike for touring and cannot be beat. I still ride off-road as well, when I hear someone say they are too big and heavy that queues me that they are not very experienced riders. You can throw around a Wing just like any other bike (as you've proven), they're fun and comfortable. I had an 83 GL1200 and now ride a 90 GL1500 and look forward to owning a GL1800 very soon. :-)
