Hello everyone,
I am looking to get a trike now that I am up in years and health. Owned motorcycles all my life including the F3 Spyder. I think for my final bike, I want a trike that I can put some miles on and tour the country now that I am retired. I will be mostly riding 1 up and probably doing hotels versus much camping. I plan on the U.S. and Canada riding and I am looking for a reliable trike that I can ride for hours and not have to worry about frequent repair stops. I know that Harleys are more reliable than back in the day, but are they alot better now? So, I am deciding between the 2019 Goldwing and the 2019 Harley. The Harley, well it's a Harley. I test rode one and the ride was good. The engine heat was not too bad, but i hear it can be an issue. Though that doesn't tell me the long term story. I am having trouble finding a goldwing that I can try for at least a few hours, so that is making it hard to decide. Honda has the reliability and shaft drive, but not the Harley "mystique" if you will. This is a big chunk of money for me, so I am looking for input as well as if anyone has had any remorse or not on a recent trigide purchase.
Thanks! Living to ride and riding to live!
