Seems like a bit of a boat to me. Not at all like the 2-wheeled 535i that I've come to expect from BMW.

Triumph and Aprilia were at Long Beach. They will probably be in New York.

Nope, it handles like a sport bike, rides like a caddy, and has the storage space of a semi

I think it's a little too sporty to be a direct goldwing competitor. It's more inbetween a goldwing and something like a Busa.

Concours competitor basically.

And I keep seeing it as their shot at building a goldwing fighter. Yep its more sporty, but it has a huge amount of storage, is super comfortable to ride, has all the same accessories, similarly priced, and seems to be going after the same market.

That's the way I see it too.

I don't think it appeals to the same crowd. The wing dingers are a different bunch. It's definitely a really nice sport tourer though.
