General Comments
My BMW R1200CL 1200 motorbike is the German equivalent of a Goldwing.
I have only had this bike for 4 months, and the battery has gone flat 3 times. BMW have been very helpful.
It has nice a sitting position for long distance riding, and is very stable, and surprisingly nimble on back roads.

The review lacks detail regarding the battery problem, so I will give some general comments:
The battery is the most common cause (or indicator) of electrical problems.
If it keeps going flat it is either:
1. A bad battery, which is simple, replace it;
2. A bad charging system, which then needs diagnosis, whether it is the generator/alternator, or the regulator.
I always start with the battery, since it is simple to test it. I won't get into testing, you can go on the net and find very helpful sites explaining how.
