Big Guns, Big Tour!

In the early eighties, everything was different: I wasn't a rider, and the biggest bikes were Harleys! Well, times have changed, and bikes of all sorts have grown. A former beast at 750cc is now just a starter for most new riders, and now you've got to be over a liter to be a contender. This article from Motorcycle Consumer News web site might give you the info to make your bike-buying decision. The editors compare 6 bikes: the Honda Goldwing and Valkyrie Interstate, BMW K1200LT, Yamaha Venture, Kawasaki Voyager and the Harley Davidson Electra Glide. I have read just about every comparison recently published and this is the most complete one yet. If you are looking at the big bikes then this is a worthwhile shootout to attend!
