I've owned a mess of Harleys, and one 2006 Gold Wing 1800. They are all different. The GW was like a sport bike with big saddlebags. It would do curves at triple digits that I couldn't do at 90 with the 01 Road Glide I had at the time. Handling was superb for a 900 pound bike. That said, I just didn't like the ergonomics. Your feet are tucked back because of the wide GW engine, it felt so good to put my feet on the highway pegs when out on the road. On a Harley, you position your feet pretty much where you want them. You have options.
But its more than just the physical bike. When you own a Harley, you get about a million new friends, whether you want them or not. I found many of the crowd that were over 50 that rode the newer Gold Wings were snobby, stand-offish, and in some cases, just plain rude. Not so with HD riders. HD riders are out for the fun, riding or at a HD dealers event. It's a good time on your HD. The dealer network is hugely better than Honda. The GW is a pain to work on (except for the rear tire change). 4 hours to change an air filter element. I gave up the GW, even though I liked to ride it on the crooked roads.
azgrumbles, that F6B is a nice looking ride. I think I parked my GW in about the same spot 13-14 years ago. That is a super great riding experience in the Ouray - Million Dollar Highway area.
