Poorer gas mileage. It's gets 30 mog and the goldwing got 40 - 45 mps. Better lean angle for cornering. More "character". I get a lot of people coming up to talk to me about the bike when I stop somewhere. I like it!

Yeah, I used to ride with a group of mixed bikes, one guy had a Valkyrie, he was always the first one to run low on gas and have to fill up.
