I bought this bike a little while back and before this i have always owned a v-twin engine motorcycle. I'm amazed with the power and the smoothness of this bike. No rattles or loud pipes just a quiet, comfortable motorcycle to go on a long trip or commute around town. I also love the look of it. Mine is a candy blue-green and it is in mint condition. I have complements on this bike all the time and for the price i payed it's very well worth it. i highly reccomend this bike to anyone who truly enjoy riding for the feel of the open road not for to compare whos bike is louder and who is the baddest biker out there. The only issue i have had with this bike is that i'm a big guy and like i said i rode v-twin crusers and those are a totally different sitting position then the goldwing. It took me a few rides to get used to the shifter and the feet being almost traight with my beck. Its no longer an issue i got used to it and also i find that in this position you have better controll over your motorcycle. I'm 34 yrs old my bike is 37. i wish i wasnt so stubbern and wanting to look cool all these years of riding (18) and would have find this bike earlier. Never going back to a v-twin rattle, loud rides again.
