    Flat black Honda Cruiser. I do a lot of hiking anyway, so I don't ride a Harley. :p

    I've done long touring with a bunch of GS1200 riders and I've never had any issue keeping up. That being said, my bike is not off-road capable to say the least.

    At the end of each day, while they were complaining about their aches & pains & monkey-butt, I climb off the Road King without any discomfort. The pneumatic seat is made for long rides. :smiley:

    The GS1200 is a nice bike. The motorcycle police in California are equipped with BMWs.

    Definitely a solid bike with interesting off-road capacities to boldly go where my Harley doesn't want to play.

    1996 R1100GS and 1976 R75/6
