Re: sportster vs. big harley
Goldwing = The motorcycle equivalent of the Mercury Grand Marquis (LOL)
All kidding aside, it's a fabulous bike which has all of the accessories/toys one can hope to have and still be on two wheels.
As far as the Sporty's handling, The XL1200R has dual discs up-front for braking (which I prefer) versus single-discs on just about everything else. The handling is very responsive and it has the highest torque on the market. The Sporty is definitely better as a single-ride versus companion (have done it both ways and the difference is noticeable but not brutal). The ride is decent now that the Sporty has rubber engine mounts.
The bottom line is it's a matter of choice. All rides are great, just some are more "Goldilocks fit" than others.
