Although I don't tour on a trike, I do work on them and would agree with Bill. I'll add a little more detail. I think we all know that once a co-rider gets on a 2-wheel Wing, the stress level greatly increases. Balancing at low speeds, and supporting the weight at stops all adds to that. But outside of that, I think this is the huge differance. When riding a 2-wheel, pavement conditions is part of the on going search. On a trike, there is far less of that, and the eyes can spend more time enjoying the scenery, instead of so much time searching the pavement for a safe path. It makes for a more enjoyable ride.
I need to add this. And I know that going to a trike is often a health choice, but if it is not, my most enjoyable trips have been with a GF that rides her own Wing too. It gives them a feeling of "empowerment" because they'll feel that they have more say in where they go. They have their own Wing to put all their **it in, and get to fill up yours also. Last is this. Because they are a rider too, they get the same "climate" as we do. Most don't know how nasty the weather on the back seat is compared to the weather on the front one.
Please keep in mind that anytime I share or give advice about a motorcycle, unless I state otherwise, I am always referring to GL1800's and no other.
