    #1 Rated touring bike the Goldwing

    I just read on the interweb yesterday that the Goldwing is the #1 Rated Touring bike for 2016. 2nd was the Harley Road Glide Limited, 3rd was BMW K1600.

    Interesting. I'm only 5'8"", and find the seating position on the full Wing to be very cramped. I feel like i'm being jammed up against the bars and dash. Love the F6b positioning. Obviously the Wing has a lot more creature comforts for touring than the F6b. As far as the H/D goes, I would take the K1600 over the Wing and the H/D any day.

    They also had a Ducati in there. Thought that was a joke.

    The one I saw on you tube was from 2016 and had the Road Glide Limited as 2nd. I think.

    I had read this opinion last spring and pretty much agree with it...but a later road test in a rider mag said although the GW was still the king of touring bikes, the newer top line Road Glides and Indian Roadmasters had better or equal wind protection, better front end suspension, and more up-dated electronics.....Really don't care as I intend to keep my F6B....Regards and ride safe
