I can understand wanting to switch from a big heavy spot tourer in old age, but I can't understand why you'd want to go to a bike with a curb weight of 764 lbs? I'd go lighter myself.
Alot of those big bikes feel pretty light as soon as they are moving, I know the Goldwing does.
I've ridden cruisers that cruise, and cruisers that are a workout, but all being noticeably heavy to push around.
The heavy weight just happens to come with the comfortable and good handling cruisers, and is tolerated for those reasons, as the only time you really do feel the weight would be walking it back into a parking spot, or pushing it around in your garage.
I do enjoy pushing the 1k's about a bit more than the bigger bikes though, lol
and I am glad the Goldwing has reverse.
