Not ridden each as yet, but sat on both of them as they were sitting side-by-side on the dealers showroom floor..The Yamaha was very difficult for me to upright as the damn thing weighs almost 1000 lbs...The seat is much lower than the one on the Goldwing and the overall bike appears to much larger, bigger bags, trunk, tank, etc. I am told the Yamaha is much slower in the quarter than than the Wing, if that is an issue....If I were a much larger person, and much younger, interested in long range touring, I would give the Yama a look see.....But for my money and riding style the Goldwing is a much better fit.....Hope someone soon gets to compare them on the road.....Ride safe
